Damped Iterative Explicit Guidance for Multistage Rockets with Thrust Drop Faults by Zongzhan Ma, Chuankui Wang, Zhi Xu, Shuo Tang, Ying Ma

“…Based on the iterative guidance mode (IGM) and powered explicit guidance (PEG), this method is enhanced in three aspects: (1) an accurate transversality condition is derived and applied in the dimension-reduction framework instead of using a simplified assumption; (2) the Gauss–Legendre quadrature formula (GLQF) is adopted to increase the accuracy of the method by addressing the issue of excessive errors in calculating thrust integration using linearization methods based on a small quantity assumption under fault conditions; and (3) a damping factor for solving the time-to-go is introduced to avoid the chattering phenomenon and enhance convergence. …”

Upper Bound Limit Stability Analysis for Soil Slope with Nonuniform Multiparameter Distribution Based on Discrete Algorithm by Zhen Wang, Xumeng Yang, Ang Li

“…This method starts from the perspective of energy balance, establishes a slope failure mechanism which meets velocity separation requirements, deduces its calculation formula for external force power and internal energy dissipation power, develops a cycle program for the most dangerous slip surface searching and stability coefficient calculation through computer programming technology, and finally forms a calculation method of upper bound limit stability analysis for the soil slope with nonuniform multiparameter distribution. At the same time, this method takes a dump slope in an open-pit mine as the engineering background, considers the nonuniformity of density, cohesion, and internal friction angle of the slope soil under subsidence, applies upper bound limit analysis to analyze the slope stability, and evaluates the accuracy of analysis results by using the residual thrust method. …”

Teaching Islam in the Palembang Malay During the Dutch Colonial Era by Dayun Riyadi, Ahmad Suradi, Qolbi Khoiri, Siti Marpuah

“…In Palembang, traditional Islamic education was the dominant system during the Sultanate period, but with the rise of Dutch colonial power, Islamic education became marginalized, with a particular emphasis on the role of ulama and traditional Islamic teaching. Over time, the local society began to recognize the need for Dutch-style education, driven by the promise of better job opportunities for those holding Dutch school diplomas. …”

Evidence for Transfer of Membranes from Mesenchymal Stem Cells to HL-1 Cardiac Cells by Robert A. Boomsma, David L. Geenen

“…Very little fusion was observed since more than 90% Sca-1 positive MSC gained DiO from HL-1 cells while less than 9% gained gap junction impermeant CMFDA after 20 hours with no Sca-1 transfer to HL-1 cells. Time dependent transfer of membrane DiD was observed from HL-1 cells to MSC (100%) and vice versa (50%) after 20 hours with more limited transfer of CMFDA. …”
