Fire Behavior of the Assembled Monolithic Hollow-Ribbed Slabs by B. Li, Y. Q. Lin, H. L. Zhang, M. J. Ma

“…Comparison of the results from the two fire tests indicates that the covered box shows better fire resistance compared to the open box; thus, the covered box is recommended to adopt in structural fire-resistant design. However, they are both prone to cracking or spalling at their bottom surfaces during the fire tests, so the AMH slab still needs further optimum design to meet its requirements of fire resistance and service function. …”

The Limits of Computer Science. Weizsäcker’s Argument by Olszewski Adam

“…We base the critique on two well-known results: the theorem of the unsolvability of the halting problem and Gödel’s first incompleteness theorem, and we formulate two objections interpreted without adopting Church’s thesis. In the crucial fourth section, we present a third objection in the form of a hypothesis for which we argue that AI (AH), understood as a subject, will always be solipsistic.…”
