A Calabi-Yau-to-curve correspondence for Feynman integrals by Hans Jockers, Sören Kotlewski, Pyry Kuusela, Andrew J. McLeod, Sebastian Pögel, Maik Sarve, Xing Wang, Stefan Weinzierl

“…Abstract It has long been known that the maximal cut of the equal-mass four-loop banana integral is a period of a family of Calabi-Yau threefolds that depends on the kinematic variable z = m 2/p 2. We show that it can also be interpreted as a period of a family of genus-two curves. …”

OPERA AND FILM – AN UNLIKELY MARRIAGE by Julianna KÖPECZI

“… The aim of the following study is to analyze the manner in which opera music influenced film and became a crucial building block of certain cinematic narratives, in such films as Jonathan Demme’s Philadephia (USA, 1993), Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element (France, 1997) and Liliana Cavani’s Il portiere di note / The Night Porter (Italy, 1974). …”

A novel motion control approach for tethered wheeled mobile robot on extreme terrain by Xiaotao Wang, Xingyu Wang, Jiayou Zhang

“…Since the model of the tethered mobile robot can be formulated as a cascade of kinematics and dynamics, a novel backstepping motion control approach is proposed in this paper, in which the kinematic and dynamic controllers are designed independently in a recursive way. …”

Estimating Ground Inclination Using Strain Sensors with Fourier Series Representation by Wolfgang Svensson, Ulf Holmberg

“…With a Fourier series representation of the strain during a gait cycle, ground angle at different walking speeds and inclinations could be estimated with similar accuracy as previous studies using kinematically based estimators. Furthermore, if the angle of the mechanical foot ankle was changed, the sensing technique still could estimate ground angle without need for recalibration as opposed to kinematical sensors. …”

Pelvic Drop Changes due to Proximal Muscle Strengthening Depend on Foot-Ankle Varus Alignment by Aline de Castro Cruz, Sérgio Teixeira Fonseca, Vanessa Lara Araújo, Diego da Silva Carvalho, Leonardo Drumond Barsante, Valéria Andrade Pinto, Thales Rezende Souza

“…However, the varus alignment of the foot-ankle complex (FAC) may influence the effects of muscle strengthening, due to the relationship of FAC alignment with pelvic and hip kinematics. This study evaluated the effects of hip and trunk muscle strengthening on pelvis and hip kinematics during walking, in subgroups with larger and smaller values of FAC varus alignment. …”
