Evaluation of Nanomagnetite–Biochar Composite for BTA Removal by Carolina Guida, Nathaniel Findling, Valérie Magnin, Fabienne Favre Boivin, Laurent Charlet

“…Within the short time scale (up to 8 h), the removal of BTA by nanomagnetite–biochar composite was shown to be due to BTA deprotonation by the nanomagnetite surface. Through proton liberation, Fe²⁺ is released in accordance with the reaction Fe₃O₄ + 2H⁺ → Fe₂O₃ + Fe²⁺ + H₂O, which likely influences BTA complexation and its possible redox degradation. …”

War and negotiations. How Vietnam defeated the American Colossus by A. M. Vasiliev

“…To achieve this goal the war and negotiations dragged on for years, and on the eve of the signing of the agreements, the most fierce bombing of the DRV was carried out.Thanks to the powerful air defense created with the help of the USSR, the DRV won the “air Dien Bien Fu”.The United States was forced to sign a peace agreement, which provided for the complete cessation of all US military operations in Vietnam, the withdrawal of all American troops, but left the North Vietnamese forces in South Vietnam together with the armed forces of the National Liberation Front along with the decaying and doomed to death Saigon regime. …”

Black Orpheus by Hlonipha Mokoena

“…The fate of African Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, Negritude and Black Internationalism was also bundled up with Cold War politics and this has in some ways resulted in the conclusion that the thawing of American and Soviet Union also led to the depreciation of these liberation and anti-colonial ideas. This aftermath has bred a certain type of continental fatalism in which all our dead, dying and barely alive utopias are inevitably read from the vantage point of Cold War politics and after. …”

L’École de journalisme d’Alger (1964-1990) : les défis d’une formation professionnelle by Chloé Nejma Rondeleux

“…During this period, the establishment of the single party translated into a monopoly of political power over the media as a whole (newspapers, radio, television and press agencies), placed either under the supervision of the Ministry of Information or under the party of the National Liberation Front (FLN). With the evolution of this university institute, the only place in Algeria for training in the information trades, there emerge different visions of the figure of the journalist and the great transformations of higher education in Algeria, of which the most striking is Arabisation.By considering, on the one hand, ministerial supervision and, on the other, the socialist and Third World positions adopted by Algerian political managers from 1962, this article favours an internal view of the institute. …”
