New renormalization group study of the 3-state Potts model and related statistical models by José Gaite

“…In particular, the phase transition of the 3-state Potts model in three dimensions is believed to be of the first order, without a definitive proof of absence of scale invariance in three-dimensional field theory with S3 symmetry. This scale invariance should appear as a non-trivial fixed point of the renormalization group, which has not been found. …”

An Intelligent Wireless Sensing and Control System to Improve Indoor Air Quality: Monitoring, Prediction, and Preaction by Tsang-Chu Yu, Chung-Chih Lin

“…We combine three technologies including (1) wireless sensing technology to develop an extendable system for monitoring environmental indicators such as temperature, humidity and CO 2 concentration, (2) ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average) to predict air quality trends and take action before air quality worsens, and (3) fuzzy theory which is applied to build an energy-saving mechanism for feedback control. …”

Observaciones sobre la relación entre la “cosmo-lógica” y la construcción de la persona en el espiritismo cubano by Diana Espirito Santo

“…In this paper I suggest that popular forms of Cuban spiritism (espiritismo) offer a genuine “anthropology” or indigenous theory of personhood that acts as a dynamic driving force towards, and for, its sister Afro-Cuban religions, diversifying personal practices through the demands of the dead with whom the mediums communicate. …”

‘Fine, Invisible Threads’: Schopenhauer on the Cognitively Mediated Structure of Motivation by Sean T. Murphy

“…First, it unmasks an important structural role for Besonnenheit (reflectiveness) in his account of practical agency, thereby revealing a unified thread running throughout his system; second, we alight on a possible ‘expressivist’ picture of his account of motivation, something it shares with his broader theory of action.…”

Crankshaft high cycle bending fatigue test method based on the combined extended Kalman filtering algorithm and different failure criterion parameters. by Zhang Wei, Yan Ruidong, Songsong Sun, Gong Xiaolin, Liu Zhentao

“…First the intrinsic frequency of the system and the fatigue crack depth were chosen to be the failure criterion parameters based on the test regulation and the theory of fracture mechanics. Then the extended Kalman filtering method was adopted in predicting the remaining high cycle fatigue life of the crankshaft during the experiment process. …”
