Method for Calculating Transients in a Gas Pipeline by A. S. Fikov

“…In the course of the research, the task was set to obtain a mathematical model of the process taking into account the inertial term of the equation of motion, the neglect of which is possible only if the friction losses are exceeded by 3.5–4 times over the shock pressure. An important feature of the solution that have been found is its universality, which makes it possible to significantly reduce labor costs when using it to find partial solutions to practical problems that differ in boundary conditions. …”

Risk assessment of rail transit systems with variable renewable energy based on uncertain random theory by Yanbo Chen, Xiaoxue Li, Zhi Zhang

“…Firstly, the uncertainty random theory is applied to take the first failure time of the new energy generation equipment and the traditional equipment as an uncertain variable and a random variable, respectively, the value-at-risk function is defined in combination with the consequences of the system failure; next, the competing failure model for the random system is established by thoroughly considering degradation and shock failures; for the uncertain system, the evidence theory’s framework is used to establish the multiple sources imprecise information conflict and fusion model; finally, the consequences of failure of the system are quantified and the value-at-risk calculation method for the rail transit systems with variable renewable energy is propose. …”

Des (dés)accords grammaticaux dans la dénomination écrite de la personne en France : un tumulte graphique entre passions tristes et passions joyeuses by Manuel Perez, Katy Barasc, Hélène Giraudo

“…Today, grammatical gender is crossed by shock waves where person denomination is caught in the conflicting uses of a grammatical police and a lot of writing practices aiming only at denouncing the language phenomenological contract, i.e. the injunction of visibilization by grammatical labels, of the subpoena to the gender difference and the appropriation of the universal-generic-neutral by the masculine.Our work notes the report published by Académie française the 1st March 2019: La féminisation des noms de métiers et de fonctions, in order to question its resistant (im)postures.The critical thinking we are opening here analyses a double hegemony: the hegemony of gender social relations or police of grammatical gender and the hegemony of the phonè on the graphè or phonocracy. …”
