Modal Appropriation for Use with In-Operation Modal Analysis by M. Abdelghani, D. J. Inman

“…We propose in this paper a numerical modal appropriation method for use with in-operation modal analysis (INOPMA). The key idea is to realize that the correlation sequence of the system output is the sum of decaying sinusoids with a certain phase shift and therefore it may be considered as an impulse response. …”

An Algorithm for Inter-Modulation Interference Suppression Based on Frequency Optimization by Zhidong Hu, Weichao Zeng, Zhuoyi Tang

“…The mechanism of the fifth-order inter-modulation was discussed,and a frequency optimization algorithm for reducing the network inter-modulation interference was proposed.The inter-modulation interference produced by frequency combination can be suppressed when the TCH frequencies combination of the cell meets the following requirement:935×10⁶≤f_min＜f_max≤954×10⁶Hz,and the difference between the maximum number and minimum number of frequency points is less than 65.This method can suppress the inter-modulation interference from the source,and provides an innovative idea for inter-modulation interference optimization.…”

Perennial Peanut as a Potential Living Mulch and Nitrogen Source for Citrus and Other Orchard Crops in Florida by M.A. Shahid, K. Leaks, A.R. Blount, Cheryl Mackowiak

“… The concept of using a perennial peanut as a living mulch and source of biological nitrogen in fruit and nut crop orchards is not a new idea. In Central and South America, perennial peanuts have long been incorporated as a living groundcover into palm, coffee, cacao, plantain, and citrus, as well as into other fruit and nut production orchards. …”

Évanescence du joi et joie de l’évanescence : éthique et esthétique courtoises dans le Roman de la Rose de Jean Renart by Corinne Cooper

“…An analysis of the link between curial rhetoric, amorous feeling and literary practice in Jean Renart’s text, around the idea of gap, play, non-coincidence, perhaps invites us to rethink the relationship of this novel with its hypotext and thus to question the links between joy, literary seduction, and the construction of a courtly ideal.…”

Probability-based heuristic content placement method for ICN caching by Hai-bo WU, Jun LI, Jiang ZHI

Improving achievable traffic load of cognitive wireless networks under GoS constraints by Liang YU, Tao JIANG, Yang CAO

“…To improve the achievable traffic load of secondary user(SU) under grade of service (GoS) constraints in cognitive wireless networks with heterogeneous traffic,a novel spectrum sharing scheme was proposed.The key idea of the proposed scheme was to introduce preemptive priority and buffering mechanism for real-time traffic and non-real-time traffic,respectively,according to their different delay characteristics.The proposed scheme could reduce the forced termination probability and the blocking probability for heterogeneous calls simultaneously.Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the achievable traffic load of SUs under GoS constraints.…”

Théologie du désordre. Islam, ordre et désordre au Sahara by Abdel Wedoud Ould Cheikh

“…Some of these theologians declared themselves in favour of a jihâd aiming at the coming of such a power; others, to the contrary, firmly opposed this idea. Turning back to this old controversy helps to show the historicity of the problem of the jihâd which arose recently in the Saharan areas, in close connection with a noticed growth of insecurity in these mentioned areas, associated with all kinds of illegal activities (kidnappings, assassinations, diverse trafficking, etc.), sometimes legitimized by jihâdist motives.…”

LOS SENTIMIENTOS ANTE LA (NADA TERRIBLE) MUERTE EN LA FILOSOFÍA ESTOICA by Francisco Miguel Ortiz Delgado

“…En el presente artículo exploramos la carencia de valor que tiene la muerte, el cese de la vida de una persona, para la filosofía estoica, que considera a aquellas como uno de los factores indiferentes o adiáphora ("no preferibles") para la felicidad humana. La idea del "temor hacia la muerte", como un sentimiento incorrecto, repercutió en la política cotidiana de la Roma imperial; según concluimos, esta circunstancia demuestra el carácter pragmático y terapéutico de la Stoa, escuela que siempre buscó eliminar tal temor.…”
