Un scrutin pour trois pays : la nouvelle géographie politique italienne suite à l’élection législative du 4 mars 2018 by Matteo Cavallaro, Davide Policastro, Guido Salza, Massimo Angelo Zanetti

“…We argue that, from this point of view, Italy appears as a tripolar-but-imperfect political system with two major poles (centre-right and M5S) and a non-competitive pole, the centre-left. We then observe the relationship between the distribution of electoral preferences and the distribution of a series of socio-demographic variables, in order to identify the main elements describing these “three Italies”: (i) the country of the small northern cities, with leghista hegemony, (ii) an Italy made of large and well-educated urban areas, which votes for the centre-left, and finally (iii) the poor regions of the South, newly acquired areas for the M5S.…”

Trimetallic ferrite functionalized by guaninium tartrate ionic liquid (Co0.2Zn0.6Cu0.2Fe2O4-SiO2@[GuaH]+[Tar]2‒[GuaH]+) as a novel inorganic-bioorganic nanostructure to promote aqua-mediated synthesis of polyhydroxy-substituted pyridine-dipyrimidine fused heterocycles by Zahra Khademi, Kobra Nikoofar, Mansoureh Zahedi-Tabrizi

“…In this work, a Cobalt-Zinc-Copper ferrite (Co0.2Zn0.6Cu0.2Fe2O4, CZCF) was synthesized and functionalized with silica and guaninium tartrate ionic liquid (Co0.2Zn0.6Cu0.2Fe2O4-SiO2@[GuaH]+[Tar]2‒[GuaH]+). The novel bio-nanostructure was characterized by various techniques such as fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), EDAX mapping, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric/differential thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and zeta potential analysis. …”

Forecasting Chinese Wind Power Installed Capacity Using a Novel Grey Model with Parameters Combination Optimization by Xiaoshuang Luo, Bo Zeng, Hui Li, Wenhao Zhou

“…Secondly, as different orders of accumulation generation correspond to different parameter matrixes, the background value coefficient of the grey prediction model is optimized based on the optimal accumulation order. Finally, the novel model of combinational optimization is employed to simulate and forecast Chinese WPIC, and the comprehensive error of the novel model is only 1.34%, which is superior to the other three grey prediction models (2.82%, 1.68%, and 2.60%, respectively). …”
