PRECISION AND STABILITY OF THE PREDICTION FORMULA FOR BURST STRENGTH OF PRESSURE-BEARING CYLINDER by LIU Cen, YANG Fan, WU SengLin, HONG Kai, ZHANG Shu, LIU XiaoNing

“…When the applied range of the Rheological stress formula for measured burst pressure was not less than 220 MPa,and the applied range of the Faupel formula for measured burst pressure was not less than 250 MPa,the precision of the two formulas is not significantly different,and the stability of Rheological stress formula is obviously better than Faupel formula.For Mid-diameter or Tresca formula with measured burst pressure not exceeding 329. 6 MPa,and for Rheological stress formula with measured burst pressure not less than 220 MPa,the stability of Mid-diameter or Tresca formula is obviously better than the Rheological stress formula,and the precision is higher than the Rheological stress formula.（ 3） For flat steel ribbon wound pressure vessel with measured burst pressure was not exceed 209. 7 MPa,the precision and stability of Mid-diameter formula is lower than that of four predictor formulas of burst pressure for pressure-bearing single-layer cylinder.…”

¿Promover la diversidad y la inclusión de la mano del estado? Análisis de la política pública LGBT en Bogotá by Jhandra Melissa Díaz López, Luis Carlos Ávila, Carlos Mario Navarrete Duque

“…Durante este periodo, se ha materializado a través de programas que han tenido por objetivo general “garantizar el ejercicio pleno de derechos de las personas de los sectores LGBT como parte de la producción, gestión social y bienestar colectivo de la ciudad” (Consejo de Bogotá, 2009, p. 2); esto, por medio del desarrollo de cuatro procesos estratégicos: i) el fortalecimiento institucional en los niveles distritales y locales; ii) la corresponsabilidad en el ejercicio de derechos; iii) la comunicación y educación para el cambio cultural; y iv) la producción y aplicación de conocimientos y saberes (Acuerdo 371, 2009).Este documento analiza los factores que llevaron a su adopción en Bogotá, presenta algunos de sus principales logros y ofrece recomendaciones para su fortalecimiento.Para el análisis se recurre a la aplicación del enfoque de las corrientes múltiples como modelo teórico principal; este enfoque se concentra en entender las dinámicas y procesos políticos que, en distintos niveles y ocurriendo de manera independiente y paralela, han logrado confluir en un momento específico (ventana de oportunidad) para posicionar a la política como una alternativa institucional viable a partir de la acción de unos emprendedores de política (Zahariadis, 2010). …”
