Analytical Method for Capped Pile–Soil Interaction considering the Load Action of Soil under the Pile Cap by Shilin Luo, Mingquan Liu, Jianqing Jiang, Ailifeila Aierken, Jin Chang, Xuewen Zhang, Rui Zhang

“…Comparison of calculation results with the ordinary pile indicates that soil load under the pile cap reduces the lateral friction value; the influenced depth is about four times of the load action radius. The axial force and the load-settlement curve data are verified by a case history data. …”

The politics of subterranean atmospheres in China: a study of contemporary chinese mining art by Marijn Nieuwenhuis

“…The real number could be 10 times as high (SCMP, 2021). The respiratory condition is a powerful reminder of the shared geological intimacy that exists between the bodies of miners and the materiality that constitutes the enveloping atmospheres of the underworld.Inspired by Hawkins’ (2020b, p. 4) idea of the “underground’s imaginative force” and the so-called “geologic turn” (Ellsworth & Kruse, 2013), this paper explores the politics of subterranean atmospheres in China by problematising the relationship between the ground above and the ground below. …”

Hollywood sur la Lune : les « Scientifilms », les Pulps et l’imaginaire science-fictionnel by Jay P. Telotte

“…It measures that early film/literature relationship by surveying the primary pulp magazines associated with the beginnings of sf publishing in the United States and framing them in the context that Francesco Casetti applies to early cinema when he suggests that the movies, as a pre-eminent modernist form, provided a kind of “script for reading the modern experience,” one that “not only proposed a reading of that experience, but at times imposed a pattern for its expression and communication” (5). …”

Intelligent anti-jamming decision algorithm based on proximal policy optimization by MA Song, LI Li, LI Wei, HUANG Wei, WANG Jun

“…The existing intelligent anti-jamming methods based on deep reinforcement learning are applied to space-ground TT&C and communication links, in which the deep neural network used for decision-making has a complex structure, and the resources of satellites and other vehicles are limited, making it difficult to independently complete the timely training of complex neural network under the constraints of limited complexity, and the decision-making of anti-jamming cannot converge. …”
