Contribution Degree of Different Surface Factors in Urban Interior to Urban Thermal Environment by Jikang Wan, Min Zhu

“…This study first classifies the ground features with different attributes, conducts LST statistics for each category, and conducts multivariate linear analysis, instead of setting some fuzzy exponent and forcing a threshold to calculate. …”

RadalyX: Portable Multimodal Robotic Scanner by Josef Uher, Jana Boháčová, Richard Kadeřábek, Jakub Veselý

“…In other words, the object does not have to “go to the CT machine”; instead, the CT machine “can go to the object.” Advanced inspection of regions of interest is therefore possible. …”

New Bifurcation Critical Criterion of Flip-Neimark-Sacker Bifurcations for Two-Parameterized Family of n-Dimensional Discrete Systems by Shengji Yao

“…The criterion is built on the properties of coefficients of characteristic equations instead of the properties of eigenvalues of Jacobian matrix of nonlinear system, which is formulated using a set of simple equalities and inequalities consisting of the coefficients of characteristic polynomial equation. …”

Mužnost jako ctnost uvědomělého homosexuála ve třicátých letech by Jan Seidl

“…On the pages of the Hlas, we can observe a gradually increasing tendency to keep aside the original goal to obtain the decriminalization of homosexuality and, instead, to accomplish at first a change in the behaviour of homosexuals themselves. …”

L’École d’architecture et après ? Enquête sur les bifurqueurs et reconvertis, le cas des jeunes diplômés de l’ENSA Nantes by Bettina Horsch, Pauline Ouvrard

“…This is reflected in aspects such as the academic careers of students, along with the different ways in which they relate to training, shape their careers and imagine their professional futures. Instead of adopting the canonical practice of architecture, a growing number of architecture graduates are pursuing ‘atypical’ occupations, veering towards other architectural worlds or turning away from it altogether, as the profession fails to offer sufficient opportunities in line with their values. …”

Forest Tent Caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria Hübner (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) by James R. Meeker

“…Although this univoltine insect is called a tent caterpillar, it is unlike other Malacosoma species in that the larvae do not construct tents. Instead, forest tent caterpillars spin silken mats on the trunks and large branches where they congregate to molt or rest from feeding. …”

“Here Lies the Possibility of Bodies Turning Elemental”: by Jenny Andrine Madsen Evang

“…I argue that Serpent Rain rejects this binary of erasure vs. contained representation in its treatment of slavery, enacting instead another type of (non)representation that moves beyond “the limits of most available narratives to explain the position of the enslaved” (Hartman and Wilderson 2023, 184). …”

Fitting Geometric Shapes to Fuzzy Point Cloud Data by Vincent B. Verhoeven, Pasi Raumonen, Markku Åkerblom

“…The data are considered as a continuous fuzzy point cloud, instead of a discrete point cloud. Shape fitting is commonly performed by minimizing the discrete Euclidean distance; however, we propose the novel approach of using the expected Mahalanobis distance. …”

Accompagner sans financer : une nouvelle doctrine d’investissement de l’État au capital des ETI by Laure-Anne Parpaleix, Kevin Levillain, Blanche Segrestin

“…This diagnosis suggests new doctrines for public investment (e.g. market shaping instead of market fixing), but also new ways to support more sustainable and responsible forms of corporate growth.…”

A model for operational risk of industrial facilities including ageing/test degradation effects and maintenance effectiveness by S.F. Quintão Ribeiro, J.J. Rivero

“…The proposed methodology considers the time dependency of standby failure probabilities through instantaneous unavailability models, depending on the specific standby time for each component at the given moment, instead of using the same constant values. It also incorporates ageing, testing degradation effects and maintenance effectiveness, not explicitly considered in traditional models, as well as the instantaneous reevaluation of common cause failure probabilities. …”
