Ambrosia Beetles, Platypus spp. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Platypodidae) by T. H. Atkinson

“…All species found in Florida are borers of trunks and large branches of recently killed trees and may cause economic damage to unmilled logs or standing dead timber. The most recent key to species was published 60 years ago (Chamberlin 1939), does not include all species known from the United States (Wood 1979), and has long been out of print. …”

These men in love with mining companies and pickup trucks: Moralities and knowledge practices of the deserts and movements of the economy by André Dumans Guedes

“…I thus bring to the foreground certain moral dimensions of their lives and occupations and the role of pickup trucks as signs and operators of the knowledge practices to which they resort to situate themselves in the face of both long-standing anxieties and these new realities. Finally, I show how this ‘economy of the city’ is outlined by an interweaving of certain branches and productive activities with practices, stories, circulations, rivalries that are markedly masculine, and which are updated in those places and paths where pickup trucks are present.…”

FRACTURE CHARACTERS OF SURFACE CRACK IN THE INNER UPSET TRANSITIONAL SECTION OF DRILL PIPE by ZHAO GuangHui, ZHAO Li, TANG Song, LI Ju

“…During the drilling operation,the drill pipe near the surface usually stands the largest tension and torsion.Stress concentration is relatively serious in the upset transitional section of the drill pipe,where initiation of fatigue cracks,washouts and even fracture accidents are prone to happening.Based on the actual operating loads of G105 drill pipe,which is near the well head of an ultra-deep vertical well,finite element model of the inner upset transitional section containing a circumferential semielliptical surface crack was established.The fracture characters of the cracked model were simulated under the combination of tension and torsion.For different loading ratios and crack depths,the transition aspect ratios are determined and variation laws of the dimensionless stress intensity factor are fitted along with the crack propagating.This paper provides a basis for study on the fatigue life of drill pipe which is subjected to combined loads.…”
