Quand la liberté de lire est menacée : la lutte de la Campaign for Reader Privacy contre l’article 215 de la loi USA PATRIOT. by Cécile Cottenet

“…In order to amend this section and to restore the protection of the privacy of Americans’ readings, it has developed a network of militants. This article examines the reasons that pushed the different associations to coalesce and tries to shed some light on the imperious necessity to fight for a fundamental right in American life, the privacy of personal information.…”

Multidimensional Fixed-Point Theorems in Partially Ordered Complete Partial Metric Spaces under ()-Contractivity Conditions by A. Roldán, J. Martínez-Moreno, C. Roldán, E. Karapınar

“…We study the existence and uniqueness of coincidence point for nonlinear mappings of any number of arguments under a weak ()-contractivity condition in partial metric spaces. The results we obtain generalize, extend, and unify several classical and very recent related results in the literature in metric spaces (see Aydi et al. (2011), Berinde and Borcut (2011), Gnana Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham (2006), Berzig and Samet (2012), Borcut and Berinde (2012), Choudhury et al. (2011), Karapınar and Luong (2012), Lakshmikantham and Ćirić (2009), Luong and Thuan (2011), and Roldán et al. (2012)) and in partial metric spaces (see Shatanawi et al. (2012)).…”

Waste Tire Particles and Gamma Radiation as Modifiers of the Mechanical Properties of Concrete by Eduardo Sadot Herrera-Sosa, Gonzalo Martínez-Barrera, Carlos Barrera-Díaz, Epifanio Cruz-Zaragoza

“…The results show diminution on mechanical properties in both kinds of concrete without (or with) irradiated tire particles with respect to plain concrete. Nevertheless such diminutions (from 2 to 16%) are compensated with the use of high concentration of waste tire particles (30%), which ensures that the concrete will not significantly increase the cost.…”

Massive Spinning Relativistic Particle: Revisited under BRST and Supervariable Approaches by A. Tripathi, B. Chauhan, A. K. Rao, R. P. Malik

“…We discuss the continuous and infinitesimal gauge, supergauge, reparameterization, nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST), and anti-BRST symmetries and derive corresponding nilpotent charges for the one 0+1-dimensional (1D) massive model of a spinning relativistic particle. We exploit the theoretical potential and power of the BRST and supervariable approaches to derive the (anti-)BRST symmetries and coupled (but equivalent) Lagrangians for this system. …”

Distributed SLAM Using Improved Particle Filter for Mobile Robot Localization by Fujun Pei, Mei Wu, Simin Zhang

“…The distributed SLAM system has a similar estimation performance and requires only one-fifth of the computation time compared with centralized particle filter. However, particle impoverishment is inevitably because of the random particles prediction and resampling applied in generic particle filter, especially in SLAM problem that involves a large number of dimensions. …”
