Design of High-Order Iterative Methods for Nonlinear Systems by Using Weight Function Procedure by Santiago Artidiello, Alicia Cordero, Juan R. Torregrosa, María P. Vassileva

“…We perform numerical tests to compare the proposed methods with other schemes in the literature and test their effectiveness on specific nonlinear problems. Moreover, some real basins of attraction are analyzed in order to check the relation between the order of convergence and the set of convergent starting points.…”

From subduction to collision and subduction again, the drivers of crustal-scale deformation in the Hellenides-Aegean region by Ferriere, Jacky, Jolivet, Laurent, Chanier, Frank

“…Here we take a modern look at this Hellenic/Aegean region which as a concentrate encompasses all the main geodynamic processes known in orogens. This region documents the fundamental characteristics of the geodynamic processes related to mountain building, namely continental rifting, oceanic spreading, oceanic then continental subduction, collision i.e., closure of oceanic basins. …”

Trois enclaves agricoles dans la périphérie de Lyon, vers des agricultures urbaines ? by Rémi Janin

“…This article is based on three examples located in the Lyon periphery presenting different agricultural forms and situations : one in truck farming in Caluire/Rillieux-la-Pape, one in intensive agriculture in les Grandes Terres/Feyzin and one in breeding bovine farming in Saint-Foy-lès-Lyon. The analysis questions the current status of these agricultural enclaves, their forms and the status of these new farmers. …”
