Near-Zero Parasitic Shift Flexure Pivots Based on Coupled n-RRR Planar Parallel Mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Flexure pivots, which are widely used for precision mechanisms, generally have the drawback of presenting parasitic shifts accompanying their rotation. The known solutions for canceling these undesirable parasitic translations usually induce a loss in radi ...

Local Well-Posedness And Blow-Up For The Half Ginzburg-Landau-Kuramoto Equation With Rough Coefficients And Potential

Luigi Forcella

We study the Cauchy problem for the half Ginzburg- Landau-Kuramoto (hGLK) equation with the second order elliptic operator having rough coecients and potential type perturbation. The blow-up of solutions for hGLK equation with non-positive nonlinearity is ...

Generalized reproduction numbers and the prediction of patterns in waterborne disease

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto, Marino Gatto

Understanding, predicting, and controlling outbreaks of waterborne diseases are crucial goals of public health policies, but pose challenging problems because infection patterns are influenced by spatial structure and temporal asynchrony. Although explicit ...
