Die „großen Bilder“ und die frühesten Kindheitserinnerungen in K. Ph. Moritz’ Roman Anton Reiser und die Entdeckung der Libido als Seelenenergie by Susanne Ledanff

Lump and Interaction Solutions to the (3+1)-Dimensional Variable-Coefficient Nonlinear Wave Equation with Multidimensional Binary Bell Polynomials by Xuejun Zhou, Onur Alp Ilhan, Fangyuan Zhou, Sutarto Sutarto, Jalil Manafian, Mostafa Abotaleb

“…We obtain some new exact analytical solutions, containing interaction between a lump-two kink solitons, interaction between two lumps, and interaction between two lumps-soliton, lump-periodic, and lump-three kink solutions for the generalized (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation in liquid with gas bubbles by the Maple symbolic package. Making use of Hirota’s bilinear scheme, we obtain its general soliton solutions in terms of bilinear form equation to the considered model which can be obtained by multidimensional binary Bell polynomials. …”

An elementary approach to the homological properties of constant-rank operators by Arroyo-Rabasa, Adolfo, Simental, José

“…Lastly, we discuss the homological properties of operators in relation to the homological properties of their associated symbols. We establish that the constant-rank property is a sufficient and necessary condition for the validity of a generalized Poincaré lemma on spaces of homogeneous maps over $\mathbb{R}^d$, and we prove that the existence of potentials on spaces of periodic maps requires a strictly weaker condition than the constant-rank property.…”

Les modillons de terre cuite de la basilique de Saint-Martin de Tours (Indre-et-Loire) et de l’église abbatiale Sainte-Marie de Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire (Loiret) : l’expression de de... by Sébastien Jesset

“…Today, Tours and Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire preserve the two most important collections of terracotta modillions from the Early Middle Ages of the Middle Loire valley, excluding the city of Orléans where these construction materials, were found in one, two or three copies on more than a dozen sites, and Saran a well-known village of potters for the Early Middle Ages.The interest of the collections of Tours and Saint-Benoît lies moreover in places of highly symbolic value, which are the basilica of Saint-Martin on one hand and the abbey church of Sainte-Marie on the other hand.Beyond a simple difference in the actual shaping of the modillions (the Touraine specimens being molded and those of the Orléanais sculpted), these two series of objects are the expression of two different conceptions of the modular cornice, probably a cultural heritage from Antiquity.…”
