TL;DR: In this paper, atactic polybutene-1 in the alkanes were measured at 25° with a Calvet microcalorimeter and the enthalpy parameter XH was found to be very close for the two sets of systems.

TL;DR: The uptake of radioactivity in the pituitary and uterus is reduced more by norethindrone than by norgestrel treatment when these Steroids were injected 15 min after estradiol-17β injection, and it appears that there exists a competitive inhibition of estradio-17 β by these contraceptive Steroids in the rat.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the stability circle criterion, and some variants, for non-linear feedback systems with distributed parameter is presented, where the nonlinearity is assumed to be bounded by two gains which depend on the time and the parameter.
Abstract: To begin with we present an extension of the stability circle criterion, and some variants, for non-linear feedback systems with distributed parameter. The non-linearity is assumed to be bounded by two gains which depend on the time and the parameter and the criteria stated involve the spatial mean square of the upper and lower gain. Then systems with periodical space and time-varying gain are considered ; and for such systems, a stability criterion explained by means of the spatial mean of the mean power of the signals is stated. It is shown that this criterion is less restrictive than the similar one stated in L2 space. On propose d'nbord une extension du critere de stabilitye du ecrcle, et quolques variantes, pour los systemes non lineaires a parametro reparti. La non-linearite est comprise entre deux gains extremes qui dependent explieitement du temps et du parametro, et les criteres sunt aenonces a l'aide de la moyenne quadratique spatinle de ces gains. Ensuite on considere des systemes avec...

TL;DR: In general, les milieux d'education ne sont guere innovateurs. as discussed by the authors states that "les usages s'y perpetuent par tacite reconduction, meme lorsqu'ils ont perdu leur premiere raison d'etre".
Abstract: En general, les milieux d'education ne sont guere innovateurs. On y repete d'annee en annee plus ou moins les memes cours, selon a peu pres les memes methodes, le tout coiffe du traditionnel examen. Sauf de rares exceptions, l'ecole est statique; "les usages s'y perpetuent par tacite reconduction, meme lorsqu'ils ont perdu leur premiere raison d'etre." Les milieux universitaires n'echappent pas a une telle description. Ils sont, eux aussi, plutot jaloux de leurs us et coutumes. Les structures et le personnel des universites font preuve, habituellement, d'un conservatisme quasi fondamental, meme si a l'occasion, on y favorise de superficielles reformes. Dans son ensemble, l'universite demeure fidele a son passe, et contrairement a l'industrie, ne se prepare que tres peu a affronter le XXIe siecle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with zero-sum two-person differential games in which one player has a deferred information on the state vector and uses an adaptative deterministic extrapolation to estimate the plant state, and then, makes his decisions by means of the datas so obtained.
Abstract: This paper deals with zero-sum two-person differential games in which one player has a deferred information on the state vector. This player mends this lack of information by using an adaptative deterministic extrapolation to estimate the plant state, and then, makes his decisions by means of the datas so obtained. An analysis of the phenomenon yields a criterion for optimizing the estimation which is based upon the Hamiltonian estimation of the perfect information game. A class of extrapolators is given by its dynamical equation. Then, the initial game is reduced to a new game containing pure time delay in the state and the controls.

TL;DR: In this paper, a deterministic describing function was proposed for a class of non-linear distributed parameter systems which exhibit a structure similar to that of usual nonlinear closed-loop systems.
Abstract: A describing function method is stated for a class of non-linear distributed parameter systems which exhibit a structure similar to that of usual non-linear closed-loop systems. The non-linear part F(x, z) and the transfer function W(p, q) are described by their frequency responses in time and space. A deterministic describing function is stated. Concerning the self-oscillations which are symmetrical with respect to z and t respectively, we give an existence criterion and a stability criterion. By using the results so obtained, we give a new stability criterion for the state zero. Storting from this deterministic formulation, a stochastic approach is proposed in the presence of noise frequencies which are outside the passband of W(p, q). A class of statistical linearizations and optimizations is described. The problem of self-oscillations in the presence of noise is determined. Some examples are solved On propose une methode du premier harmonique pour une classe de systemes non-lineaires e parame...

TL;DR: In this paper, a priori, the authors have decrited un article precedent (Ann. Telecommunic,27, n∘ 11-12, pp. 469-476) and decrits dans un article priori (ANN. TeleCommunic, 27, n ∘ 11 and 12, pp 469 and476), permettent d'aborder l'etude des auto-oscillations periodiques des systemes non lineaires a parametre reparti and d'enoncer un critere de non
Abstract: Les resultats decrits dans un article precedent (Ann. Telecommunic,27, n∘ 11–12, pp. 469–476), permettent d’aborder l’etude des auto-oscillations periodiques des systemes non lineaires a parametre reparti et d’enoncer un critere de non-existence et un critere de stabilite. L’exploitation de ces resultats conduit a quelques theoremes sur la stabilite et la grossierete a l’origine de ces systemes. En dernier lieu, l’auteur etablit un critere du cercle de stabilite globale valable dans le cadre de l’approximation du premier harmonique spatial.

TL;DR: The Bibliotheque des Archives de Philosophic comprend maintenant un ouvrage ou l'on trouve la traduction francaise de quatre textes importants for l'historien du savoir.
Abstract: La Bibliotheque des Archives de Philosophic comprend maintenant un ouvrage ou l'on trouve la traduction francaise de quatre textes importants pour l'historien du savoir. Le texte central est celui du Collogue Cassirer-Heidegger qui eut lieu a Davos en mars 1929, ou les deux philosophes confronterent leur lecture de Kant. Les trios autres textes ont pour but de mettre un peu mieux en lumiere le sens de cette confrontation: il s'agit1. du resume anonyme des « Conferences du Professeur Martin Heidegger sur la Critique de la Raison Pure de Kant et sur la tâche d'une fondation de la Metaphysique » et du resume des « Conferences du Professeur Ernst Cassirer »;2. du compte rendu fait par Cassirer du Kant-Buch de Heidegger;3. du compte rendu fait par Heidegger du deuxieme volume de la Philosophie der symbolischen Formen de Cassirer.
