You want peace ? Get ready for war...in cyberspace by Zbigniew Witkowski

“…Remaining in international law and domestic constitutional law in the blissful conviction of the legitimacy of persisting in a sphere of terminology that excludes or weakens at least the meaningfulness of the concept of "war" and abrogating it in favour of a softer-sounding concept of, for example, a "state of defence" and in the need to emphasise one's entirely peaceful attitude in international relations, ceases to have its hitherto undisputed justification. …”

Dynamic Response of a Casting Crane Rigid-Flexible Coupling System to High Temperature by Yunsheng Xin, Qing Dong, Qisong Qi, Qinglu Shi

“…To determine the influence of temperature on the mechanical properties of crane metal structures, three Q355 alloy steel samples were processed and their elastic moduli were tested at different temperatures using a metal tension test bed. The constitutive equation for the elastic modulus of Q355 alloy steel at different temperatures was predicted using test data and a neural network algorithm. …”
