Switching categories in syntax by Paula Armelin, Dalila Maria de Souza, Lydsson Gonçalves

“…In passives, this operation results in participles, which behave like adjectives: they do not admit a determiner, they have unvalued φ-features and they need a copular verb to be projected into a verbal structure. …”

Effects of Voids on Concrete Tensile Fracturing: A Mesoscale Study by Lei Xu, Yefei Huang

“…Aggregate is assumed to behave elastically, while a continuum damaged plasticity model is employed to describe the mechanical behaviors of mortar and ITZ. …”

Reliable Shape Optimization of Structures Subjected to Transient Dynamic Loading Using Genetic Algorithms by Sabyasachi Chand, Anjan Dutta

“…The combinations of automatic mesh generator with proper boundary definition capabilities, analysis tool with error estimation and Genetic algorithm as optimization engine have been observed to behave as a satisfactory shape optimization environment to deal with real engineering problems.…”

Notes from the Packaging Laboratory: Hot Tack Measurements of Thin Sealant Films by Kenneth R. Berger, Matthew Knoelke, Bruce Welt

“…A design of experiments approach was used to explore the rank importance of these factors and any interactive effects that may occur. A generally well-behaved ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) sealant on a high density polyethylene (HDPE) film was used for these tests. …”

Probabilistic Trust Evaluation with Inaccurate Reputation Reports by Bin Liu, Geng Yang

“…In such systems the truster agents have to interact with other trustee peers to achieve their goals, while the trustees may not behave as required in practice. The truster therefore has to predict the behaviors of potential trustees to identify reliable ones, based on past interaction experience. …”

Refining potential energy surface through dynamical properties via differentiable molecular simulation by Bin Han, Kuang Yu

“…In this work, through a comprehensive application of adjoint and gradient truncation methods, we show that both memory and gradient explosion issues can be circumvented in many situations, so the dynamical property differentiation is well-behaved. Consequently, both transport coefficients and spectroscopic data can be used to improve the density functional theory based MLP towards higher accuracy. …”

Customer Churn Modeling via the Grey Wolf Optimizer and Ensemble Neural Networks by Maryam Rahmaty, Amir Daneshvar, Fariba Salahi, Maryam Ebrahimi, Adel Pourghader Chobar

“…In recent years, many methods have been developed including data mining for predicting the customer churn and manners that customers are likely to behave in the future and therefore, taking action early to prevent their leaving. …”

Circulation d’un modèle urbain "alternatif" ? by Nicolas Douay, Maryvonne Prévot

“…If the tactical planning endeavors to show that everyone has the capacity to transform, at the local level, how to think and plan the city, not as in his own name but on behalf of interest shared by other members of his community, alternative urban model relies thus on a large community connected to social networks that allow the movement to adopt new practices and initiatives and to adapt it in different local contexts. …”

Detecting and Defending against Replication Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks by Xiang-yi Chen, Li-xia Meng, Yong-zhao Zhan

“…In this paper, we make the following contributions: first, we point out the unrealistic assumption that the replica node would behave honestly as the benign sensor nodes; thus the existing detection schemes would fail if the replica nodes cheat or collude with the compromised node. …”

An experimental approach to a variable-period damped oscillatory system similar to a bouncing ball and an adaptation to an electromagnetic brake by Tiago S. Pacheco, Edinei C. Paiva, Sebastião B. Amorim

“…Furthermore, we also propose equations to adjust experimental data that behave reasonably within a certain oscillation limit. …”

Скандал в эго-документах позднесоветских писателей: попытка “насыщенного описания” by Maria Mayofis

“…Since the primary audience for such scandals was international public opinion, prominent writers frequently leveraged the threat of an ‘international scandal’ to secure desired outcomes from editors, censors, and – most critically – special ‘curators’ responsible for overseeing literature on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. …”
