The Political Economy of International Relations

After the end of World War II, the United States, by far the dominant economic and military power at that time, joined with the surviving capitalist democracies to create an unprecedented institutional framework. By the 1980s many contended...

Addressing Stakeholder Concerns Regarding the Effective Use of Bio-Based and Biodegradable Plastics

Bio-based and biodegradable materials have the potential to replace traditional petroleum-based plastics across a range of products and contribute to a more circular economy. However, the uptake of these materials will not succeed unless co...

Understanding the relationship: Financial inclusion's influence on bank stability in emerging economies

This study examines the impact of financial inclusion on bank stability across 36 emerging economies, utilizing bank-level data from over 1,500 commercial banks spanning the period 2004 to 2023. Despite the recognized benefits of financial ...

Lightweight MS-DSCNN-AttMPLSTM for High-Precision Misalignment Fault Diagnosis of Wind Turbines

Wind turbine (WT) misalignment fault diagnosis is constrained by critical signal processing challenges: weak fault features, intense background noise, and poor generalization. This study proposes a lightweight method for high-precision faul...

THE OPTIMIZATION OF PLUSH YARNS BULKING PROCESS

This paper presents the experiments that were conducted on the installation of continuous bulking and thermofixing “SUPERBA” type TVP-2S for optimization of the plush yarns bulking process. There were considered plush yarns Nm 6.5/2, made o...

Los moluscos terrestres (Mollusca: Gastropoda) de Costa Rica: clasificación, distribución y conservación

Los moluscos terrestres son un grupo muy poco estudiado a nivel mundial. Hay 183 especies reportadas para Costa Rica, 30% son endémicas y 7% posiblemente están extintas. Se espera que en el país haya alrededor de 400 especies, de más del 95...

Contribuciones sociológicas de Durkheim y Bernstein sobre la diversidad sociocultural en la escuela

Existe consenso en torno a que la disciplina sociológica brindó un marco para comprender las relaciones entre los sistemas educativos y los contextos sociales más amplios en que se emplazan. No obstante, los retratos que ha esbozado aquella...

Poznań School of Public Finance was created in 1919 by professor Edward Taylor, a member of the Law and Economy Faculty of the Poznan´ University, and a mentor and moral role model for thousands of Polish lawyers and economists that followe...

An Investigation of Disk Thickness in M51 from Hα, Paα, and Mid-infrared Power Spectra

Power spectra (PS) of high-resolution images of M51 (NGC 5194) taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have been examined for evidence of disk thickness in the form of a change in slope between large ...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

Asteroseismology of the Nearby K Dwarf σ Draconis Using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS

Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging owing to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here we present the asteroseismic detection of solar-like oscillations at 4-minute timescales ( ${\nu ...

Adverse skin reactions to antiepileptic drugs - a review

Introduction and objective: Treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is frequently used all around the world. Just like in the course of all the drugs administration, side effects may appear, including characteristic side effects presentin...

Medicine in Europe: Complementary medicine in Europe

Complementary or unconventional treatments are used by many doctors and other therapists throughout Europe. The major forms are acupuncture, homoeopathy, manual therapy or manipulation, and phytotherapy or herbal medicine. The relative popu...

COMPUTER GRAPHICS USED TO OVER CONSTRAINED MECHANISMS’ MOBILITY

The objective of this study is the use of computer graphics as teaching methodology in the field of robotics, focused on over constrained mechanisms’ mobility. Because the analytical methods applied to calculate the mobility of robots have ...

Multigait soft robot

This manuscript describes a unique class of locomotive robot: A soft robot, composed exclusively of soft materials (elastomeric polymers), which is inspired by animals (e.g., squid, starfish, worms) that do not have hard internal skeletons....

PeriSim: A Simulator for Optimizing Peristaltic Table Control

Peristaltic conveyance can be used for the sorting and transport of delicate and nonrigid objects such as meat or soft fruit. The non‐linearity and stochastic behavior of peristaltic systems make them difficult to control. Optimizing contro...
