The interrelation of EU law with inter se international agreements of the EU member states by Georgaki, K, Eleftheriadis, P

“…Chapter Five explores the available conflict avoidance techniques, identifying two interrelated, yet distinct interpretative methods applicable to the context of this thesis: first, the principle of systemic integration, enshrined in Article 31(3)(c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT); and second, the principle of a consistent-with-EU-law interpretation of inter se agreements, as a special application of the principle of harmonious interpretation applied in international law. Finally, Chapter Six identifies the rules governing conflict resolution in the interrelation of EU law with inter se agreements: first, Article 59 VCLT on the implicit abrogation of an earlier agreement by the conclusion of a later one between the same contracting parties; second, Article 30 VCLT, to the extent that it codifies the pacta tertiis principle of public international law; and third, the principle of primacy of EU law, which operates as a lex specialis, carving out the lex posterior conflict rule enshrined in Articles 30(3) and 30(4)(a) VCLT.…”

Exploiting dynamic bifurcation in elastic ribbons for mode skipping and selection by Huang, Weicheng, Yu, Tian, Vella, Dominic, Hsia, K. Jimmy, Liu, Mingchao

“…The results show that, since the snap-through processes of both planar beams and 3D ribbons are governed by the saddle-node bifurcation, the same scaling law for the delay applies. We further demonstrate that, in elastic ribbons, by controlling the rotating velocity at the end, distinct snap-through pathways can be realized by selectively skipping specific modes, moreover, particular final modes can be strategically achieved. …”
