Environmental Landscape Design Based on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Space Technology by Weina Wang

“…Moreover, this study uses polygons to model external landscape plants instead of modeling the microelement structure of landscape plants and re-polygonize them, which simplifies the model structure of landscape plants and improves computational efficiency. …”

Modification of the No-Touch Technique during Renal Artery Stenting by John A. Stathopoulos

“…We describe a modification of the no-touch technique by using an over-the-wire (OTW) balloon or a Quickcross catheter with a coronary wire inside, instead of the rigid  J wire. The reported technique, while it prevents direct contact of the guiding catheter with the aortic wall, at the same time it allows for a closer contact with the renal arterial ostium and a more favorable guiding catheter orientation, compared to what is achieved with the use of the more rigid  J wire, thus improving visualization, reducing the amount of contrast required, and potentially decreasing complications.…”

The Social Cartography of Chapiquiña: Revindicating Indigenous Territorial Rights in the Highlands of Arica, Chile by Joselin Leal Landeros, Alan Rodríguez Valdivia

“…This process led us to infer the hypothesis that the process of rural-urban migration from these Aymara communities to the city of Arica is not a process of indigenous de-territorialization. Instead we argue that these processes represent the transformation and construction of contemporary rural-urban Aymara territory.…”

Du cadre d’action collective au programme partisan  : ancrages patronaux des islamismes en Turquie et en Tunisie by Dilek Yankaya

“…The analysis focuses on Ennahdha in Tunisia and the Justice and Development Party in Turkey, whose programs are seen to bring no model of alternative development and to make the Islamic reference an element of rhetoric. Instead of evaluating the failure or success of these movements by the influence of a religious orthodoxy, the text focuses on the framing work carried out by partisan groups in interaction with their social properties and according to specific temporalities and scales of action. …”

An Iteration-Time Combination Method to Reduce the Dynamic Degradation of Digital Chaotic Maps by Yao Wu, Lingfeng Liu

“…We construct a control function by introducing iteration time instead of external systems, thereby replacing the control parameters in the original chaotic map. …”

Les liminalités dans les représentations du cycle solaire quotidien by Danièle Dehouve

“…The article studies the division of the daily solar cycle in Mexico, among the Aztecs of the 16th century based on ethnohistorical documents, and among the contemporary Tlapanec people based on ethnographic observations. Instead of viewing the cycle as built upon two points (sunrise and sunset) and two categories (day and night), I show that it hinges on four points (also including noon and midnight) and four categories (also including the rising sun and setting sun). …”

Le Paris d’Hemingway : une question de style by Clara Mallier

“…Finally, in The Sun Also Rises the narrator presents streets, cafés and restaurants as familiar places instead of introducing them for the benefit of the (unknowledgeable) implied reader; this closes the cognitive gap between narrator and reader, thus imparting greater immediacy to the latter’s sense of the city.…”

The Emergence of the Dutch Housewife Revised. How Shifts in Local Labour Market Structures Shaped Dutch Unmarried Women’s Labour Force Participation, 1812–1929 by Corinne Boter

“…However, the majority of these conclusions apply to married women. Instead, this study zooms in on unmarried women. Based on nearly 2 million marriage records that have been digitised by Kees Mandemakers' LINKS project, it shows that there were large regional differences in the levels of labour force participation that were closely connected to local job opportunities. …”

Geometric Mechanics on Warped Product Semi-Slant Submanifold of Generalized Complex Space Forms by Yanlin Li, Ali H. Alkhaldi, Akram Ali

“…In this study, we develop a general inequality for warped product semi-slant submanifolds of type Mn=NTn1×fNϑn2 in a nearly Kaehler manifold and generalized complex space forms using the Gauss equation instead of the Codazzi equation. There are several applications that can be developed from this. …”

Esthétiques sonores et transsensorielles du rapport à la ville dans les parcs et jardins urbains by Jeanne Lafon

“…In urban areas such spaces are permeable to urban sounds. Instead of considering the acoustic quality of gardens in relation to the city from a binary perspective with, on the one hand, isolated gardens, and on the other, gardens which are acoustically transparent, the article reveals the fact that there are diverse acoustic city-garden interactions, based on the different senses and on symbolic, emotional and functional values pertaining to different landscape structures.…”
