General Design and Layout of Datengxia Hydropower Station by ZHANG Xiao, YIN Shaoqing

“…Datengxia hydropower station is a riverbed power station with a low water head and large flow.It is installed with eight 200 MW axial-flow paddle turbine generating sets,with an average annual generating capacity of 6.055 billion kW·h,which makes early and remarkable economic benefits of generating sets possible.The buildings in the station mainly include the main engine room,installation room,outgoing line yard,sand retaining barrier,and drift retaining row.In combination with the construction diversion,the station adopts a left-and-right bank layout scheme and employs measures to optimize the prestressed reinforced concrete spiral case and layers and blocks in structural design,so as to minimize the project's total construction period and ensure the earliest power generation of the first set.The layout scheme and the optimal design of the station can provide a reference for other similar engineering designs.…”

La construction des liens entre situations de travail et situations d’apprentissage dans la formation professionnelle by Catherine Delgoulet

“…These reveal three situation interpretation incompatibilities (related to technical means, production logic and operator status) which remain without a concrete solution at the end of training. The construction of the external pertinence of training in relation to work situations is then discussed so that trainees no longer have to develop by themselves the links between continuing training and their daily work.…”

The concrete, ordinary situation of the human body as it acts on, perceives the landscape, and verbalises its perception of it would allow us to account for the complexity of local uses, common knowledge and the practices of symbolisation often involved in the elaboration of our relationship with the perceived object. …”
