The air and noise situation in the alpine transit valleys of Fréjus, Mont-Blanc, Gotthard and Brenner by Jürg Thudium

“…With regard to noise, the valleys are affected equally bad: The “amphitheatre effect” carries the noise to the higher reaches that would not be exposed to so much acoustic irradiation if the source of noise was situated at the same distance in the open country; furthermore, protection from the noise reflected by the slope is difficult. …”

Une transition planétaire juste ? Comment la rendre inclusive et juste ? by Dimitris Stevis, Romain Felli

“…Assuming that inclusion does not automatically translate into procedural or substantive justice we then propose that jt proposals should also be evaluated in terms of their socioecological purpose specifically social equality and standing for nature. We then argue that a full understanding of jt must combine inclusiveness and justice and suggest ways in which we can advance the practice and study of Planetary Just Transition.…”

Borders within. An Ethnographic Take on the Reception Policies of Asylum Seekers in Alto Adige/South Tyrol by Stefano degli Uberti

“…These studies develop through sophisticated and erudite conceptual analysis, not always balanced by equal empirical anchorage. Conversely, based on an ethnographic account of asylum seekers’ reception policies in Alto Adige/Südtirol, the article empirically frames the concept of “border” by retracing the experiences of the so-called “out-of-quota” asylum seekers (profughi fuori quota/Asylbewerber fuori quota) in light of their categorization prompted by local policy and media discourses. …”

Operaie in casa, Operaie in fabbrica by Maurizia Morini

“…Other themes highlighted differences between groups: emancipation/liberation, specificity/equality, wages for domestic work, paid work. In Emilia, a region where women achieved emancipation and were able to work, the groups that campaigned for a domestic wage had a short and limited life, but it was amid the realities of Padua and Naples that women were most strongly and lastingly committed to the campaign for domestic wages. …”

Research of the Geometric Characteristic of Undercutting and Limit Normal Point in Gear Geometry by Chen Ningxin

“…The undercutting phenomena and the limit normal point are two important concepts in gearing theory,design and manufacturing.Based on the different opinions about them in the current research of limit normal point and the geometry and movement characteristics of undercutting neighborhood research is not sufficient,the study on undercutting and limit normal point of the following different gears is carried out by using TCA technology,they include spur and helical involute gears,straight bevel gear,cylindrical worm-gears including I type,K type and C type worm-gear,face-milled and face-hobbed spiral bevel and hypoid gear,as well as single-enveloping and double-enveloping globoidal worm-gear.The study results show that,the sliding velocity on the undercutting line of the generated surface is not equal to zero as the traditional result but moves along the tangent of the undercutting line for most gears except for spur involute and straight bevel gears,the limit normal point is the tangent point of the undercutting line and contact boundary line indeed.…”

High-cycle fatigue strength of a pultruded composite material by C. Colombo, M. Guagliano, L. Vergani

“…However, their use is still limited by the partial knowledge of their fatigue behaviour; in many applications it is, indeed, required a duration of many millions of cycles, while most of the data that can be found in literature refer to a maximum number of cycles equal to 3 millions. In this paper a pultruded composite used for manufacturing structural beams is considered and its mechanical behaviour characterized by means of static and high-cycle fatigue tests. …”
