Principles of administrative legal proceedings in modern conditions: scientific and legal aspect by M. V. Dzhafarova

“…The article is devoted to a scientific and theoretical study of the principles of administrative legal proceedings in the updated conditions of the Ukrainian State development, based on the needs for high-quality provision and implementation of legal rights, freedoms and interests of individuals and legal entities in the field of public law relations. It has been established that the principles of administrative proceedings at the current stage of development of administrative procedural law should be understood as the basic, initial rules which are stipulated by the provisions of national legislation, as well as generally accepted provisions of international law and standards of administration of justice, and which determine the organisational and functional (procedural) conditions for the administration of justice in administrative cases, and which are reflected and enshrined in the relevant provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine. …”

Characterization of Acoustic Emission Parameters during Fracture Process of Siltstone with Prefabricated Void by Xiaorong Liu, Lulin Zheng, Hengyi He, Qing Qiu, Ziqi Liu, Xuefeng Li, Lin Yan, Gang Huang

“…The research results show that there are multiple stress drops before the deformation and failure of the rock sample with prefabricated drill holes; there is a positive correlation between the diameter of the drill hole and the power law index of the stress drop distribution; the acoustic emission activity of the rock during the deformation and failure process can be indirectly reflected the evolution of microfractures; the energy probability density function under different borehole diameters conforms to the power law distribution; the critical exponent obtained by the maximum likelihood estimation has an optimal plateau value, which can accurately characterize the power exponent of the energy distribution; the launch waiting time and aftershock sequence have a good power-law distribution in logarithmic coordinates. …”

A mathematical analysis of thermal explosions by Kazuaki Taira

“…This paper is devoted to the study of semilinear degenerate elliptic boundary value problems arising in combustion theory which obey the simple Arrhenius rate law and a general Newton law of heat exchange. We prove that ignition and extinction phenomena occur in the stable steady temperature profile at some critical values of a dimensionless rate of heat production.…”

“…I argue that in the work of Okediji, the term is used to renew the radical debates of the 1970s on the right to development in order to undo international law and IP’s imperialist correlates. In the work of Ncube, on the other hand, the term is used to disarticulate the “literal” meaning of decolonisation (1955–1975) from the historical exigencies which necessitated the emergence of African approaches to international law. …”
