Analysis of conditions and criteria for shock pulse reproducibility on mechatronic test stands by A. K. Vasiliev, V. A. Dyachenko

“…In order to expand the range of functional parameters of mechatronic stands of multiple blows, the following are proposed: criteria for choosing the parameters of an air suspension, a method for predicting changes in the stiffness of a shaper during stand operation, and a method for assessing the effect of the reproducibility of controlled parameters on the stability of a shock pulse. In contrast to the known works, the proposed criteria and methods take into account the requirements for the reproducibility of the shock impulse.…”

The spatial relationship and influence mechanism of traditional villages and intangible cultural heritage: a case study of the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin by Qianming Xue, Yuehao Huang

“…TVs exhibit a “multi-core aggregation, dispersed concentration” pattern, with a high degree of imbalance at the provincial (or autonomous region) level. In contrast, ICH shows a “sparse south, dense center, and sparse north” distribution, with a lower degree of imbalance at the provincial level. (2) Although there is generally a high degree of spatial alignment between TVs and ICH, but at the provincial (or autonomous region) level, three types of regional displacements have been identified: high positive displacement, low positive displacement, and high negative displacement. (3) Factors such as altitude, river systems, temperature conditions, regional economy, accessibility, population density, urbanization rate, cultural characteristics, and funding policies significantly influence the spatial distribution of TVs and ICH. urbanization rate has a common influence and explanatory power on the spatial distribution of both TVsand ICH in the YRB, with altitude, financial policies, cultural history, and other factors having secondary influence and explanatory power.These factors are crucial in determining the pathways for their integrated development.…”

Qualified Legislator’s Silence: Problem of Recognition by Yu. I. Chalyy

“…One of the methodological approaches in solving the problem of recognition of the legislator’s qualified silence and the gaps of the legislation is the extension of the relevant research tools. In contrast to the legal position existing in the legal doctrine, the author of the article has critically assessed the ability of systematic interpretation of the law norms to be a self-sufficient method of revealing the legislator’s qualified silence. …”

Larvicidal Effect of Vorticella microstoma (Ehrenberg, 1830) on Mosquito Larvae, and Morphological Changes under Induced Environmental Conditions by Achini Koshila Ranasinghe, L. D. Amarasinghe

“…We found that V. microstoma causes the 100% death of the third instar larvae of Culex tritaeniorhynchus (Giles, 1901) within 48 h of exposure. In contrast to that, this species did not cause any mortality to Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) and Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus in Hasselquist, 1762) mosquito larvae in repeated trials. …”

Large N limit of the Yang–Mills measure on compact surfaces II: Makeenko–Migdal equations and the planar master field by Antoine Dahlqvist, Thibaut Lemoine

“…Our result on the torus justifies the introduction of an interpolation between free and classical convolution of probability measures, defined with the free unitary Brownian motion but differing from t-freeness of [5] that was defined in terms of the liberation process of Voiculescu [67]. In contrast to [20], our main tool is a fine use of Makeenko–Migdal equations, proving uniqueness of their solution under suitable assumptions, and generalising the arguments of [21, 33].…”

Effects of Patterned Sound Deprivation on Short- and Long-Term Plasticity in the Rat Thalamocortical Auditory System In Vivo by Chloe N. Soutar, Laura G. Rosen, Simon G. Rodier, Hans C. Dringenberg

“…Relative to age-matched control animals reared under unaltered sound conditions, rats raised in WN (from postnatal day 5 to 50–60) showed greater levels of long-term potentiation (LTP) of field potentials in A1 induced by theta-burst stimulation (TBS) of the medial geniculate nucleus (MGN). In contrast, analyses of short-term plasticity using paired-pulse stimulation (interstimulus intervals of 25–1000 ms) did not reveal any significant effects of WN rearing. …”
