De volta para casa: a distribuição dos brasileiros retornados do exterior by Wilson Fusco, Sylvain Souchaud

“…In South America, the study of return migration has been little considered because, at first, the migration flows, from Europe, Asia and Africa, were regarded in one direction only. The progress of the systematic approach has given importance to the theme of return. …”

Empirical case study of a digitally enabled energy community with prosumers and P2P trading by Philipp Staudt, Bent Richter

“…This diminishes the appeal of corresponding business models. One direction to make energy communities more attractive to regulators and utilities is the conceptualization, design, and empirical evaluation of systems that lead to low perceived complexity for participants while enabling high levels of external automated control.…”

Preliminary Investigation of Wavefield Depth Extrapolation by Two-Way Wave Equations by Bangyu Wu, Ru-Shan Wu, Jinghuai Gao

“…Most of the wavefield downward continuation migration approaches are relying on one-way wave equations, which move the seismic energy always in one direction along depth. The one-way downward continuation migrations only use the primaries for imaging and do not treat secondary reflections recorded on the surface correctly. …”

Experimental Study on Crack Extension Rules of Hydraulic Fracturing Based on Simulated Coal Seam Roof and Floor by Lu Gao, Xiangtao Kang, Gun Huang, Ziyi Wang, Meng Tang, Xiaoying Shen

“…The angle between the extension direction of the hydraulic fracture and the horizontal maximum principal stress decreases. (2) Under the condition of triaxial equal confining pressure, the extension of hydraulic fractures in the coal seam are random, and the hydraulic fracture will expand along the dominant fracture surface and form a unilateral expansion fracture when a crack is formed. (3) When the pressure in one direction is unloaded under the condition of the triaxial unequal pressure, the hydraulic fractures in the coal seam will reorientate, and the cracks will expand in the direction of the decreased confining pressure, forming almost mutually perpendicular turning cracks.…”

A Decentralized Energy Flow Control Framework for Regional Energy Internet by Guofeng Wang, Kangli Zhao, Yu Yang, Junjie Lu, Youbing Zhang

“…As a new form of smart grid, the energy transmission mode of the Energy Internet (EI) has changed from one direction to the interconnected form. Centralized scheduling of traditional power grids has the problems of low communication efficiency and low system resilience, which do not contribute to long-term development in the future. …”

Various scenarios of measurements using a smartphone with a LiDAR sensor in the context of integration with the TLS point cloud by Janicka Joanna, Błaszczak-Bąk Wioleta

“…The research consisted of comparing various scenarios of measuring using a smartphone with a LiDAR sensor (a smartphone held in hand, a smartphone on a selfie stick, and a smartphone mounted on a gimbal), two acquisition strategies (one direction and zigzag) and two registration methods (point to point and cloud to cloud). …”

A left-to-right bias in number-space mapping across ages and cultures by Elena Eccher, Mathilde Josserand, Serge Caparos, Esther Boissin, Marco Buiatti, Manuela Piazza, Giorgio Vallortigara

“…We found that, when explicitly asked to order numerosities, only Italian adults showed a consistent left-to-right preference, while preschoolers and Himba adults did not have a consistent preference for one direction or the other. On the other hand, in a numerosity comparison task, all groups performed better when small numerosities were presented in the left hemispace. …”

A New Approach for Estimating Rock Discontinuity Trace Intensity Based on Rectangular Sampling Windows by Xiaoxue Huo, Qiong Wu, Huiming Tang, Zhen Meng, Di Wang, Yuxin Liu, Shiyu Li

“…Results indicate that the proposed new method based on rectangular windows shows close accuracy and less variability than that of the method based on circular windows due to the influence of finite sample size and the variability of location of the window and has advantage in application to sampling surfaces longer in one direction than in the other such as tunnel cross sections and curved sampling surfaces such as outcrops that show some curvature.…”

PaySwitch: Smart Contract-Based Payment Switch for Off-Chain Payment Channel Networks by Anan Jin, Yuhang Ye, Brian Lee, Xiang Li, Yuansong Qiao

“…The payment channel cannot be used when its deposit is depleted, which hinders the payment completion, such as it is overly utilized in one direction. However, they cannot migrate the deposit from one channel to another to facilitate payment completion when a depletion in the channel deposit arises. …”

Snow-cover seasonality in Kyrgyzstan: variation and change over 20 years (2001–2021) as observed by the MODIS Terra snow product by Geoffrey M Henebry, Monika A Tomaszewska

“…To attenuate the risk of false-positive trends, we reported as ‘notable’ only those significant ( p < 0.05) nonparametric trends that were also (i) strongly asymmetric (at least twice as many significant pixels in one direction) within an elevational range of the oblast or rayon and (ii) covering at least 5% of the elevation range in oblast or rayon and more than 10 pixels. …”

Effect of Tilted Nanostructures on Anisotropic Wetting Behavior on PET Surfaces by Oxygen Plasma Modification by WANG Yitian, LI Yupeng, HUO Lei, LEI Mingkai

“…In order to improve the wettability of polymer surfaces， oxygen plasma modification technology was used to treat the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) under the condition of 200 W for 90 min using sample holders with inclination angles of 30&#x00B0;， 45&#x00B0; and 60&#x00B0;.The nanostructures with tilt angles and lengths of 32.5&#x00B0; and 2.36 μm，45.2&#x00B0; and 2.15 μm，59.5&#x00B0; and 2.00 μm were prepared， respectively.Anisotropic wetting of liquid droplets and directional flow behavior of liquid were studied on the PET surfaces after modified by plasma.Additionally，the direction opposite to the tilted nanostructure was referred to as the Y＋direction， the direction along the tilted nanostructure was referred to as the Y－ direction， and the direction perpendicular to Y&#x00B1; was referred to as the X&#x00B1; direction.Results showed that the contact angle of the droplet on the PET surfaces modified by plasma decreased， and the wetting length increased with the increase of inclination angle of the sample holders.Meanwhile， the static contact angle of the droplet in the X&#x00B1; direction was greater than that in the Y&#x00B1; direction，and the wetting length in the X&#x00B1; direction was smaller than that in the Y&#x00B1; direction.Continuous water injection was carried out on the PET surfaces modified by plasma.The droplets were pinned in the Y－ direction and flowed in the Y＋direction.Furthermore， the average flow velocities of droplets on the plasmamodified surface at 30&#x00B0;，45&#x00B0; and 60&#x00B0; inclination angles were 0.017 0，0.021 0 and 0.022 7 mm/s，respectively.Among them，the droplets on the PET surfaces after modified by plasma at 60&#x00B0; inclination angle had a flow velocity of 2.39 times that of the original surfaces in the Y＋direction.…”
