Nouvelle économie du développement et essais cliniques randomisés : une mise en perspective d’un outil de preuve et de gouvernement by Agnès Labrousse

“…Whereas this technique of proof is largely consolidated now, the embeddedness of this novel instrument in a wider epistemological framework (type of inference, relationship to theory, modes of generalization and relation to historical specificity) remains often fragmentary, leading to some blank spots and limits. …”

Enumeration of rooted 3-connected bipartite planar maps by Noy, Marc, Requilé, Clément, Rué, Juanjo

“…Our starting point is the enumeration of bicoloured planar maps according to the number of edges and monochromatic edges, following Bernardi and Bousquet-Mélou [J. Comb. Theory Ser. B, 101 (2011), 315–377]. The decomposition of a map into 2- and 3-connected components allows us to obtain the generating functions of 2- and 3-connected bicoloured maps. …”

Taking offense: Religion, art and visual culture in plural configurations, by Christiane Kruse, Birgit Meyer, and Anne-Marie Korte (eds.) 2018 by Tammy Wilks

“…The question is central to the expanding study of material religion - the theory that things, like images, have agency because they are 'caught up', as Ingold (2007:1) states, in the currents of our life worlds and epistemologies (cf. …”

The Stochastic Resonance Phenomenon of Different Noises in Underdamped Bistable System by Shan Yang, Zening Fan, Ruibin Ren

“…In this paper, the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon of four kinds of noises (the white noise, the harmonic noise, the asymmetric dichotomous noise, and the Lévy noise) in underdamped bistable systems is studied. By applying theory of stochastic differential equations to the numerical simulation of stochastic resonance problem, we simulate and analyze the system responses and pay close attention to stochastic control in the proposed systems. …”
