Influence of cultural distance on the internationalisation of Spanish hotel companies by Germán Gémar

“…We refer to the variables deal-focus or relationship-focus cultures, formal or informal cultures, rigid-time or fluid-time cultures and expressive or reserved cultures. As a goal, we propose to discover if these have a measurable influence, how “cultural distance” affects choice of a destination at which to internationalise a chain, and if countries chosen by Spanish hoteliers are more culturally compatible with Spain. …”

Particle approximations of Wigner distributions for n arbitrary observables by Ralph Sabbagh, Olga Movilla Miangolarra, Hamid Hezari, Tryphon T. Georgiou

“…We specialize to bivariate quasiprobability distributions for the spin measurements of spin-1/2 particles and derive their closed-form expressions. As a side result, we point out a connection between the convergence of these particle approximations and the Mehler-Heine theorem. …”

De la rage métaphysique au calme scientifique : religion et sciences naturelles chez Flaubert by Juliette Azoulai

“…Thus it offers an experience that belongs to the sacred, so that the natural sciences, far from being opposed to Metaphysics, lead to the understanding of an “immanent surnaturalism”, to use one of Victor Hugo’s expressions, which is a combination of grotesque irrationality and sublime wisdom.…”

Synthesis of Scalar Control System of Asynchronous Motor Drive by B. I. Firago, O. F. Opeiko

“…The purpose of the paper is to make synthesis of a scalar control system of asynchronous motor drive that ensures the required quality indices in the specified range of parameter changes of a linearized electric motor model. Expressions have been obtained that make it possible to estimate change limits of main linear model parametersThe paper considers a structure of a closed loop system with dynamical output feedback and its derivative. …”

A Multimode Approach to Geometrically Nonlinear Free and Forced Vibrations of Multistepped Beams by Issam El Hantati, Ahmed Adri, Hatim Fakhreddine, Said Rifai, Rhali Benamar

“…The scope of this study is to present a contribution to the geometrically nonlinear free and forced vibration of multiple-stepped beams, based on the theories of Euler–Bernoulli and von Karman, in order to calculate their corresponding amplitude-dependent modes and frequencies. Discrete expressions of the strain energy and kinetic energies are derived, and Hamilton’s principle is applied to reduce the problem to a solution of a nonlinear algebraic system and then solved by an approximate method. …”

Possibilities to improve accuracy of contact measurements by using corundum tips and video recording of contact area by E. V. Leun, A. E. Shakhanov, A. V. Nickel

“…The combined use of corundum measuring tips and a built-in measuring microscope allows this to be achieved by video recording of the contact area. The expressions for the dependency of the contact elastic deformation of the contact areas for the three options of contacting the spherical terminal are obtained for: flat, convex and concave surfaces of products. …”

Medullary Sponge Kidney and Testicular Dysgenesis Syndrome: A Rare Association by Stefano Masciovecchio, Pietro Saldutto, Giuseppe Paradiso Galatioto, Carlo Vicentini

“…A question still remains unanswered: are the MSK and TDS completely independent malformation syndromes occurring, in this case, simultaneously for a rare event or are they different phenotypic expressions of a common malformative mechanism? In the future we hope that these questions will be clarified.…”

Propagation of Electromagnetic Wave into an Illuminated Polysilicon PV Cell by Vinci de Dieu Bokoyo Barandja, Bernard Zouma, Auguste Oscar Mackpayen, Martial Zoungrana, Issa Zerbo, Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo

“…In order to study the effect of radio waves on the performance of a polycrystalline silicon solar cell in a three-dimensional approach, it is necessary to assess the attenuation of the radio wave in the illuminated polysilicon grain and also to find the expressions of its components. This work investigated the attenuation of radio waves into a polycrystalline silicon grain by analyzing, firstly, the behaviour of the penetration length of the radio waves into the polysilicon grain and secondly, the behaviour of the attenuation factor. …”
