DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF TBM DRIVING SYSTEM IN UNCERTAIN GEOLOGY by ZHU QingDong

“…Finally,by comparing the dynamic response intervals of different driving modes under maximum thrust conditions,the results are as follows:（ 1） When the geology of TBM tunneling is complex rock strata,the driving form of symmetrical distribution is relatively stable.（ 2） When the geology is homogeneous strata,the uniform distribution is stable.（ 3） With the increase of the number of hard rock in geology,the influence of the layout of driving system on vibration is gradually increasing.…”

Energy-efficient chain-based data gathering applied to communicating concrete by Hang Wan, Michael David, William Derigent

“…Realizing aggregation at nodes significantly reduces energy consumption and avoids hot-spot problem with homogeneous consumptions along the chain. Models give an approximate lifetime of the wireless sensor network and communicating concretes services. …”

Effects of coarse sand dosage on the physic-mechanical behavior of sand concrete by Saloua Melais, Meriem Fakhreddine Bouali, Ahmed Melaikia, Amine Amirat

“…In the hardened state, the results show that optimization of the compressive strength is achieved when a good homogeneity of the concrete is achieved and when a large percentage of coarse sand is mixed with a small percentage of fine sand.…”

Tradition et évolution dans l’art du Powwow contemporain by Jeanine Belgodère

“…If the so-called traditional dances such as the Grass Dance reveal a less significant mix of tribal styles, others such as the Fancy Dance — one of the newest — would tend to reflect a more homogeneous identity. Indeed, the Fancy Dance integrates some steps and elements of the dress belonging to a greater number of tribes into the style. …”

Le rôle des acteurs de la société civile dans le déploiement des projets économiques et politiques alternatifs : l’expérience mexicaine de la 4T by Max-Amaury Bertoli, Solène Morvant-Roux, Ilán Bizberg

“…In spite of an innovative agroecological approach, we show that this program falls into a reductive and homogenizing vision of territories and communities by refusing to acknowledge the primary role of reciprocity, horizontal solidarity and pre-existing collective dynamics, just like López Obrador’s overall policy, both of which then fail to emerge from a sterile opposition between the State and the Market.…”

Shifting Geological and Literary Lines in H. G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau and Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim: A Geoliterary Approach by Julie GAY

“…As the hero is put to the test, these spatial chasms sometimes reveal and even mirror the fault lines in his very identity, but also in the homogeneity and consistency of the narratives. The faulty travellers’ narratives are indeed often fraught with gaps and contradictions, which some critics have interpreted as symptomatic of the work’s flawed nature. …”

Highly attenuating tracer fibers for fiber orientation determination in short-fiber-reinforced plastics by Mike Kornely, Marc Kreutzbruck

“…  Due to their high specific stiffness and strength by low production costs short fiber reinforced plastics (sFRP) replace increasingly common materials like steel or aluminum in technical devices. Even if sFRP act homogeneously as a material on a macroscopic level, anisotropies are formed on a microscopic level due to the fiber morphology (orientation, length and volume content). …”

New Bouguer Gravity Maps of Venezuela: Representation and Analysis of Free-Air and Bouguer Anomalies with Emphasis on Spectral Analyses and Elastic Thickness by Javier Sanchez-Rojas

“…A new gravity data compilation for Venezuela was processed and homogenized. Gravity was measured in reference to the International Gravity Standardization Net 1971, and the complete Bouguer anomaly was calculated by using the Geodetic Reference System 1980 and 2.67 Mg/m3. …”

Seeing the Ice. An Overview of Alpine Glacier Tourism Sites, Between Post- and Hyper-Modernity by Emmanuel Salim, Christophe Gauchon, Ludovic Ravanel

“…Spatial analysis also shows that the premium and distinctive sites are mainly located around the major Alpine tourist destinations (Chamonix, Zermatt and Grindelwald), while the others are more homogeneously distributed. These results raise questions about the way in which these sites was and will develop and the role climate change plays, both of which constitute potential research topics for the future.…”

Alignment-induced self-organization of autonomously steering microswimmers: Turbulence, clusters, vortices, and jets by Segun Goh, Elmar Westphal, Roland G. Winkler, Gerhard Gompper

“…Instead, the collective motion of pushers is characterized by active turbulence, with nearly homogeneous density and a Gaussian velocity distribution; strong self-steering enhances the local coherent movement of microswimmers and leads to local fluid-flow speeds much larger than the individual swim speed. …”
