PHILOLOGY AS A SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL PROJECT by Pavel P. Shkarenkov

“…The most important impetus to the creation and subsequent development of philological education in the RSUH was the idea of the fruitfulness of the comparative approach to the content of the educational process and to the research work supplying this content as well as the necessity to actualize the logic of the «general and special» in the formation of ideas about the development of culture and civilization. …”

Le climat est-il une ressource ? Perspectives historiques à partir de la conception bioclimatique en architecture by Clément Gaillard

“…Following this historical analysis, the article focuses on the case of "solar deposits" and the difficulties of capturing this resource. In our view, these difficulties, as well as problems of equality in terms of access to favorable climate inputs, reflect the equivocal nature of the climate as a resource, which we believe is relevant today.…”

Microstructural, mechanical, and acoustic analyses of concrete with EPS and silica fume by Victor Gaspar Silva e Silva, Cimark Guimarães Sandes Filho, Andressa Fernanda Angelin, Antonio Ernandes Macedo Paiva, Stella Stopa Assis Palma, Raquel Gonçalves, Rosa Cristina Cecche Lintz, Luísa Andréia Gachet, Edson Jansen Pedrosa de Miranda Jr.

“…The mechanical properties decreased, but not enough for the EPS concrete to be considered as non-structural; the microstructure showed disorder in its transition zone, and this disorder was captured by the acoustic analysis. Moreover, the sound wave attenuation increased at 10 and 20% of EPS.…”

Adaptive Finite-Time Command Filtered Fault-Tolerant Control for Uncertain Spacecraft with Prescribed Performance by Zhongtian Chen, Qiang Chen, Xiongxiong He, Mingxuan Sun

“…Then, an adaptive fuzzy finite-time backstepping controller is developed to achieve the finite-time attitude stabilization subject to inertia uncertainty, external disturbance, actuator saturation, and faults. Through using an error transformation, the prescribed performance boundary is incorporated into the controller design to guarantee the prescribed performance of the system output. …”

The Drug-Trafficking Economy and Its Dynamics in Latin America by Daniel Pontón C.

“…It is argued that with an economic understanding of drug trafficking one can capture the true capacity of infiltration and cooptation, analyze the wide variations in the supply and demand of these products and their impact on current dynamics of criminality in Latin America, and, lastly, de-construct several myths surrounding this economy. …”

Low Complexity Cyclic Feature Recovery Based on Compressed Sampling by Zhuo Sun, Jia Hou, Siyuan Liu, Sese Wang, Xuantong Chen

“…To extract statistic features of communication signal from compressive samples, such as cyclostationary property, full-scale signal reconstruction is not actually necessary or somehow expensive. However, direct reconstruction of cyclic feature may not be practical due to the relative high processing complexity. …”

Extension of Nunokawa Lemma for Functions with Fixed Second Coefficient and Its Applications by Mostafa Amani, Rasoul Aghalary, Ali Ebadian

“…The methodology of differential subordination is used for modification and improvements of several well-known results for subclasses of univalent functions by restricting the functions with fixed initial coefficients. Actually, by extending the Nunokawa lemma for fixed initial coefficient functions, we obtain some novel results on subclasses of univalent functions, such as differential inequalities for univalency or starlikeness of analytic functions. …”
