Connecting scalar amplitudes using the positive tropical Grassmannian by Freddy Cachazo, Bruno Giménez Umbert

“…The first result in this work is an extension to all partial amplitudes m n (α, β) using a limiting procedure on kinematic invariants that produces indicator functions in the integrand. The same limiting procedure leads to an integral representation of ϕ 4 amplitudes where indicator functions turn into Dirac delta functions. …”

Les bains-douches en Limousin, une hygiène populaire au début du XXe siècle by Colette Aymard

“…This regional corpus was an opportunity for carrying out some historical and architectural research on these popular bathing houses known as ‘bains de propreté’, or cleanliness baths. They were functional constructions, often of modest appearance and scale and they bear witness to evolving practices of hygiene in a social organisation that has now disappeared. …”

Optimization of Flexible Rotor for Ultrasonic Motor Based on Response Surface and Genetic Algorithm by Bo Chen, Jiyue Yang, Haoyu Tang, Yahang Wu, Haoran Zhang

“…During the optimization process, the contact surface between the stator and rotor is taken as the optimization target, and an objective function is established. The Kriging response surface model is constructed using Latin hypercube sampling, and an MOGA is employed to optimize this model, allowing the selection of the optimal balanced solution from multiple candidate designs. …”

Intermittent Finite-Time Synchronization for Reaction-Diffusion Competitive Neural Networks with Different Time Scales by Renxi Hu, Jie Liu

“…To reduce the waste of network resources, a periodically intermittent control strategy is presented based on two time scales (short and long memory) and time-varying delay. By constructing the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, with the help of Lyapunov stability theory and auxiliary inequality technique, the finite-time synchronization can be guaranteed and the settling time is exactly estimated. …”
