La pluie de sang au Moyen Âge. Perspectives culturelles sur une expérience cosmologique engleza by Andrei Mirea

“…Due to its reddish colour, this peculiar rain was most often perceived as real blood. Although generally associated with a range of rather negative emotions or events, the shower of blood meant an experience felt differently by various communities: predicting death and war, blood rain could also signify the injures of the combatants, the bodily suffering of Christ, the end of the world, God’s anger and his divine punishment, or simply a natural phenomenon caused by material and physical factors. …”

Study of Steam Turbine Unit Operation Using Natural Gas Combustion in Pure Oxygen to Ensure Decarbonisation through Gas Path Modernization (using the Example of a TGM-94 (EP-500/14... by Shaposhnikov V.V., Kuban State Technological University, Krasnodar, Russian Federation, Kocharyan E.V., Batko D.N., Shelest N.A.

“…To achieve this aim, the following problems were solved: the development of a mathematical model of a steam turbine power unit for operation when burning natural gas in pure oxygen, a numerical study of the power unit operation when replacing air with oxygen from 0 to 100%, and an assessment of the efficiency of the equipment in these modes. The most important result is an increase in the efficiency of the steam turbine power unit when switching to burning natural gas in an environment with a high oxygen content. …”

Efficiency of lift production in flapping and gliding flight of swifts. by Per Henningsson, Anders Hedenström, Richard J Bomphrey

“…We hypothesised that, if a bird is limited in its ability to morph its wings and adapt its wing shape to suit both flight modes, then a preference towards flapping flight optimization will be expected since this is the most energetically demanding flight mode. We tested this by studying a well-known flap-gliding species, the common swift, by measuring the wakes generated by two birds, one in gliding and one in flapping flight in a wind tunnel. …”

Study on the Influencing Factors of Grouting Anchorage for Self-Drilling Bolts in Sandy Pebble Strata by Xiaojuan Gao, Mingchong Zhao, Chaosheng Wang, Xianglin Chen, Yugang Zhang

“…The results demonstrate that: fine particle content exerts the most significant impact on anchoring performance, with higher content reducing peak pullout resistance; the grout diffusion radius exhibits a positive correlation with grouting pressure but a negative correlation with drilling speed and grout viscosity, with viscosity having the strongest influence, followed by pressure and speed; the diffusion pattern follows a gradually decreasing trend along the drilling direction, while the radius increases at a diminishing rate with elevated pressure; when viscosity ranges from 83.3 to 833.3 mPa·s, the diffusion radius decreases by 72%; and multivariate regression analysis indicates a power function relationship between the diffusion radius and these three parameters.…”
