LAND DEGRADATION AS A COMPLEX STABILITY PROBLEM by John B Thornes

“…The approach is through dynamical systems models represented by differential equations and expressed by the phasespace diagrams for systems. The trophic web concept constrained by competitive and societal objective functions is found to be suitable to free-range grazing in environments that are spatially variable in their productivity. …”

Solution of the κ-Deformed Dirac Equation with Vector and Scalar Interactions in the Context of Spin and Pseudospin Symmetries by Claudio F. Farias, Edilberto O. Silva

“…We verify that the particular choice of a linear potential induces a Coulomb-type term in the equation of motion. Expressions for the energy eigenvalues and wave functions are determined taking into account both symmetry limits. …”

Two-queue polling system as a model of an integrated access and backhaul network node in half-duplex mode by Dmitry I. Nikolaev, Vitalii A. Beschastnyi, Yuliya V. Gaidamaka

“…This paper introduces a mathematical model for the boundary node in an IAB network functioning in half-duplex mode. The proposed model is structured as a polling service system with a dual-queue setup, represented as a random process in continuous time, and is examined through the lens of queueing theory, integral transforms, and generating functions (GF). …”

Modification of Level Dependent ASE-Signal Beat Noise by Optical and Electrical Filtering in Optically Preamplified Direct Detection Receivers by J. Witzens, J. Muller, A. Moscoso-Martir

“…While the modeling assumptions and the accuracy of the predictions are in line with models previously reported in the literature, derived expressions allow straightforwardly tying the modification of the level dependent noise to signal levels, baud rate, signal spectrum, and filter transfer functions.…”

ORDER EQUALITIES IN DIFFERENT METRICS FOR MODULI OF SMOOTHNESS OF VARIOUS ORDERS by Niyazi A. Il'yasov

“…In this paper, we obtain order equalities for the \(k\)th order \(L_{q}(T)\)-moduli of smoothness \(\omega_{k}(f;\delta)_{q}\) in terms of expressions that contain the \(l\)th order \(L_{p}(T)\)-moduli of smoothness \(\omega_{ l }(f;\delta)_{p}\) on the class of periodic functions \(f\in L_{p}(T)\) with monotonically decreasing Fourier coefficients, where \(1<p<q<\infty,\) \(k,l \in \mathbb{N},\) and \(T=(-\pi,\pi].\)…”

Elastic Properties of the Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by O.B. Protsenko, V.V. Yemelyanenko

“…The aim of this work is investigation and comparison of Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio variations of different types of tubes as functions of diameter. We obtained a set of closed-form expressions for the size-dependent elastic properties of armchair (n, n) and zigzag (n, 0) tubes, which are basic for constructing mathematical models. …”

We have to change mind. Neural Plausibility and the Crisis of Cognitive Explanations by Francesco Galofaro

“…The crisis regards three points:(1) When shifted from a psychological context to the neuroscience, the meaning of cognitive metalanguage does not refer any more to mental functions but moreover to brain anatomical regions and their metabolism.(2) The criterion of psychological plausibility is not sufficient to choose between alternative models;(3) Both the innatist and the experience-based explanations are not in grade to express the relation between “mental” functions, cortical anatomy and its biological morphogenesis and phylogenesis.Showing a series of examples referred to vision and space representation in language, the article aims to a different model of explanation, based on the criterion of neural plausibility, focused on learning and cortical plasticity, in which a central role is played by phylogenesis and morphogenesis, allowing feedback relationships between nature and culture.…”
