Laws of large numbers for the frog model on the complete graph
The frog model is a stochastic model for the spreading of an epidemic on a graph, in which a dormant particle starts to perform a simple random walk on the graph and to awake other particles, once it becomes active.

The design employs heterogeneous wettability surfaces that construct stable oil‐water interfaces to achieve robust and rapid reversible adhesion. Linear enhancement of adhesion strength is realized through multi‐interface patterning. This adhesive enables rapid on‐demand detachment within five seconds via voltage‐induced electrolysis, offering a level ...

Investigation of Hexagonal Honeycomb Topology for Impact Optimization in Energetic Material
ABSTRACT The regulation of the mechanical properties of energetic materials manufactured by traditional processes is constrained. However, the introduction of lattice structures can facilitate the regulation of mechanical properties without necessitating alterations to the materials themselves. Using finite element analysis and experimental validation,

Distribution of amphibians and reptiles in central Poland: 1980-2000 [PDF]
Based on 3047 records from 97 recorders distribution maps were drawn for the amphibians and reptiles of central Poland (lirom 51°00’N to 52°15’N and from 18°20’E to 20°20’E). The study area was divided into 180 atlas fields based on the geographic grid.
