The future of the international trading system under modern challenges is uncertain. surge protectionism, re-balancing power between nations, and a recent pandemic along with expanding digitalization demonstrate necessity rethinking global trade governance. paper aims to reveal key provide possible ways address them. Participants in debate indicated that protectionism inevitably remains policy,...

The present paper deals with the development of a multi-purpose floating tension leg platform (TLP) concept suitable for combined offshore wind and wave energy resources exploitation, taking into account prevailing environmental conditions at selected locations along European coastline. examined Renewable Energy Multi-Purpose Floating Offshore System (REFOS) encompasses an array hydrodynamicall...

BACKGROUND: We evaluated the effect on the respiratory gas exchange of the 30 degrees head-down position and the complete covering of the face by sterile drapes. These are used to cannulate the internal jugular vein and position the pulmonary artery catheter in the cardiosurgical patient. During the two manoeuvres, 20 coronary patients and 10 patients with end-stage heart disease were supplied ...

This paper concerns the tension control of roll-to-roll systems. In such systems, each driven roller speed is controlled separatly. The impact of the master roller position on tension control performances is studied using optimized web tension control synthesis. The tension disturbance rejection property and the system robustness regarding web elasticity variations are analysed for each configu...

Yoga is an ancient and profound Indian philosophy-based practise. The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root "Yuj," which meaning "to unite" or yoke." practise of calming down mental fluctuations patterns. Asanas are certain postures used in yoga. An asana a body posture that to improve one's health well-being. lubricate muscles, joints, ligaments, other parts body. This aids circulation flex...

We study the system of equations of motion for inextensible strings. This system can be recast into a discontinuous system of conservation laws as well as into the total variation wave equation. We prove existence of generalized Young measure solutions with non-negative tension after transforming the problem into a system of conservation laws and approximating it with a regularized system for w...

The neural integrator, which converts eye velocity signals into position signals, is central to oculomotor theory. Similar integrators are probably necessary in any neural system that changes and maintains muscular tension. The integrator for horizontal eye position is in the pons, but the locations of the vertical and torsional integrators have not been clearly defined. Recording three-dimensi...
