On the non existence of periodic orbits for a class of two dimensional Kolmogorov systems by Rachid Boukoucha

“…In this paper we characterize the integrability and the non-existence of limit cycles of Kolmogorov systems of the form $$ x^{\prime}=x\left(B_{1}(x,y)\, \ln \left| \frac{A_{3}(x,y)}{A_{4}(x,y)}\right| + B_{3}(x,y)\ln \left| \frac{A_{1}(x,y)}{A_{2}(x,y)}\right| \right), $$ $$ y^{\prime}=y\left(B_{2}(x,y)\ln \left| \frac{A_{5}(x,y)}{A_{6}(x,y)}\right| + B_{3}(x,y)\ln \left| \frac{A_{1}(x,y)}{A_{2}(x,y)}\right| \right) $$ where $A_{1}\left( x,y\right) ,$ $A_{2}\left( x,y\right) ,$ $A_{3}\left( x,y\right) ,$ $A_{4}\left( x,y\right) ,$ $A_{5}\left( x,y\right) ,$ $A_{6}\left( x,y\right) ,$ $B_{1}\left( x,y\right) ,$ $B_{2}\left( x,y\right),$ $B_{3}\left( x,y\right) $ are homogeneous polynomials of degree $a,$ $a,$ $b,$ $b,$ $c,$ $c,$ $n,$ $n,$ $m$ respectively. Concrete example exhibiting the applicability of our result is introduced.…”

Analysis of the Distribution of Forest Management Areas by the Forest Environmental Tax in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan by Yuta Uchiyama, Ryo Kohsaka

“…In this paper, we examine the spatial distribution of management areas using subsidies from the central government, the Forestry Agency of Japan, and prefectural forest environmental taxes in Ishikawa. In concrete terms, the spatial correlations of the management areas under two tax schemes are compared with the natural hazard areas (as a natural environmental factor) and areas with high aging rates (as a social factor). …”

„...a proto odměněn byl stipendiem seminarním.“ Příspěvek ke studiu studentské kapsy na přelomu 19. a 20. století by Dagmar Blümlová, Josef Blüml

“…The model of a student as a socially unanchored and financially dependent person, which can be found in the history from medieval times, these authors confront with the new situation of so-called modern times. Using concrete examples, the authors illustrate the fact, that from the 19th century students' financiall indemnity started to increase and gradually shaped some kind of system. …”

Scattering amplitudes from Euclidean correlators: Haag-Ruelle theory and approximation formulae by Agostino Patella, Nazario Tantalo

“…Our result generalizes and extends the range of applicability of a result previously obtained by Barata and Fredenhagen [1]. We provide a concrete procedure to construct such approximations, making our formulae ready to be used in numerical calculations of non-perturbative QCD scattering amplitudes. …”
