RETRACTED: An Adaptive Hierarchical Network Model for Studying the Structure of Economic Network by Xiaoteng Yang, Zhenqiang Wu, Shumaila Javaid

“…When the preference of nodes in the network for higher ranks exceeds a certain threshold value, the equality state in the network becomes unstable and rank states emerge. Meanwhile, we select four real data sets for model evaluation and observe the resilience in the network hierarchy evolution and the differences formed by different patterns of hierarchy preference mechanisms, which help us better understand data science and network dynamics evolution.…”

A Cable-Passive Damper System for Sway and Skew Motion Control of a Crane Spreader by La Duc Viet, Youngjin Park

“…While the crane control problem is often approached by applying a certain active control command to some parts of the crane, this paper proposes a cable-passive damper system to reduce the vibration of a four-cable suspended crane spreader. The residual sway and skew motions of a crane spreader always produce the angle deflections between the crane cables and the crane spreader. …”

Territorial Reforms and Changing Relationships Between Urban and Mountainous Regions in the Alpes-Maritimes département by Lauranne Jacob

“…The objective of this paper is to present a case study specific to the Alpes-Maritimes département; a region of France characterised by its dual maritime and alpine nature, and one that has undergone significant territorial restructuring susceptible to alter relationships between urban and mountainous regions.Almost four years after territorial reforms were implemented, analysis of new territorial divisions, informed by historical, political and sociological aspects, suggests that they have not, for the time being, resulted in radical changes to the current balance between urban and mountainous regions in the Alpes-Maritimes département. …”

Status and Prospect of Reclaimed Water Reuse in China by GUO Xingxing, LUO Huan, LI Ning

“…The shortage of water resources is the main obstacle to China's economic development,and the reuse of reclaimed water is an effective way to solve this problem.It is urgent to clarify the development status and existing problems of the reclaimed water industry in China,so as to achieve urban ecological and sustainable development.This study reviewed the policies,regulations,and standards of reclaimed water reuse in China and summarized the main ways to reuse reclaimed water.The development status and application examples of reclaimed water treatment technology were introduced,and future development was predicted.In summary,this paper put forward four suggestions for the reuse of reclaimed water in China:①perfecting the standards and specifications of reclaimed water reuse;②strengthening the transformation of the reclaimed water treatment process in sewage treatment plants;③establishing risk assessment system of reclaimed water;④intensifying the construction planning for the urban reclaimed water reuse.…”
