Influence of Stone Shape Factor on the Pull-Out Resistance of Geogrid in the Soil-Rock Mixture by Yongshuai Sun, Xuefeng Li, Guihe Wang

“…By comparing the mechanical behavior of soil-rock mixture composed of rock blocks with different rock material shape factors in the geogrid pull-out tests under different working conditions, we studied its changing laws. The research shows that with the increase of the shape factor of the stone, the pull-out resistance of the geogrid gradually decreases. …”

Experimental Evaluation for the Microvibration Performance of a Segmented PC Method Based High Technology Industrial Facility Using 1/2 Scale Test Models by Sijun Kim, Se Woon Choi

“…The precast concrete (PC) method used in the construction process of high technology industrial facilities is limited when applied to those with greater span lengths, due to the transport length restriction (maximum length of 15~16 m in Korea) set by traffic laws. In order to resolve this, this study introduces a structural system with a segmented PC system, and a 1/2 scale model with a width of 9000 mm (hereafter Segmented Model) is manufactured to evaluate vibration performance. …”

Professor Vanda Zaborskaitė: Why Classic? by Dalia Čiočytė

“…She considered it important to put a literary work in the contextual frame of the literary history; however, she did not accept the view according to which literature is ruled by the laws of the social and cultural history. The philosophical position of Vanda Zaborskaitė was modernisation of the classical literary criticism, which is a tradition of the literary study sourced from the times of Aristotle’s Poetics. …”

Lomi And Totò : An Ethiopian-Italian Colonial or Postcolonial “Love Story”? by Giovanna Trento

“…Giovanna Trento in this article, thanks to the observation of this “private history”, highlights a certain controversial and unstable degree of fluidity between colonial and postcolonial periods, also questioning the degree of freedom individuals might have within a given social framework, thus suggesting some crucial and sometimes ambiguous issues related to: the use of racial laws in the fascist period; notions of concubinage, marriage and citizenship; gender and power relations; subaltern conditions and marginality within Italian colonialism; discrepancies between portraying African women and relating to them; new African-Italian identities; building collective memory and family storytelling; reproducing, suffering, or overcoming the “colony” today.…”
