Vibro-isolation suspension with quasi-zero stiffness for vibroactive equipment by Yu. A. Burian, M. V. Silkov

“…A new design of vibration isolation suspension with quasi-zero stiffness is proposed, its mathematical model is obtained, which allows choosing its main parameters. Computer calculations have been performed that show that a significant shift in the natural frequency of the suspension towards low frequencies in comparison with relying only on coil springs with the same static load allows reducing the coefficient of transmission of force to the base at operating frequencies. …”

An Area Rescaling Ansatz and Black Hole Entropy from Loop Quantum Gravity by Abhishek Majhi

“…The statistical mechanical calculation leading to the entropy provides a unique choice of the rescaling function for which the Bekenstein-Hawking area law is yielded without the need to choose the Barbero-Immirzi parameter (γ). γ is determined, rather than being chosen, by studying the limit in which the ‘renormalized’ gravitational constant on the horizon asymptotically approaches the ‘bare’ value. …”
