Algunas reflexiones sobre la representación del tiempo en la imaginería maya antigua by Erik Velásquez García

“…This work registers and explores some of the many strategies that Mayan artists of the Classic period (AD 250-900) used to represent or suggest the flow of time: the containment of sculptural volumes, the manipulation of dates, the conventional distribution of figures in the pictorial field, the juxtaposition of different times and spaces, the simultaneous angles of view, the displacement between causes (indicated in the texts) and their effects (represented in the images), the sequence in praesentia, the sequence in absentia, and the peripeteia or eloquent instant that suggests psychologically the feeling of change or turning. …”

Failure Mechanism and Stability Control of Surrounding Rock of Docking Roadway under Multiple Dynamic Pressures in Extrathick Coal Seam by Xiangye Wu, Shuai Wang, Chen Tian, Changxing Ji, Jingya Wang

“…The results show that (1) through the analysis of the superimposed stress under the concentrated coal pillar and the coal seam in advance, the specific butt joint position is arranged at 860 m away from the open-off cut, which is 10 m away from the goaf of No. 12 coal seam. (2) With the working face 031604 advancing through the process, the deviatoric stress value of the withdrawal roadway gradually increases, the maximum principal stress of the two sides of the roadway deflects clockwise from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, its angle also gradually increases, and the shape of the plastic zone gradually expands from symmetry to asymmetry. (3) It is revealed that the peak value of deviatoric stress on both sides of the docking position of docking roadway increases gradually under the influence of mining and deflects anticlockwise to the vertical direction with the principal stress angle. …”
