On the Inertia Term of Projectile's Penetration Resistance by Yu Shan, Haijun Wu, Fenglei Huang, Jinzhu Li

“…For the ogive-nose projectile with CRH of 3, when the target is aluminum, steel, or other metals, the threshold velocity for the constant resistance is at least 1258 m/s; when the target is concrete, rock, or other brittle materials, if the velocity of the projectile is greater than 400 m/s or so, the damage number would be very large, and the penetration resistance would clearly depend on the projectile’s velocity. …”

Discours et parcours d’enseignants renonçant au bénéfice du concours en début de carrière by Richard Étienne, Céline Avenel

“…The analysis reveals a first obstacle stemming from the administrative rigidity of the system, a second created by assignments imposed by the management of absences, a third residing in the paradox of a training more focused on didactic knowledge than on pedagogical competence, a fourth determined by an absurd inversion between practice and training, a fifth confirming the weakness of guidance education and the absence of work on a professional project and a sixth on the reception in the profession left to chance placements. From these concrete situations we can generalize the emergence of avenues for the development of training and the organization of the system. …”
