Investigation on Hydration and Deformation Characteristics of Shale Using X-ray Computed Tomography by Yong-Ting Duan, Xiao Li, Bo Zheng, Bai-Cun Yang

“…Based on the CT results, the image gray variance value in each hydration specimen was extracted; the evolution results show that the water imbibition has a significant influence on the structure of shale in the early soaking stage, and the influence degree is more evident in the external region. Moreover, the water influence on the mechanical property of shale was analyzed by comparing the failure characteristics of specimens with and without hydration; the CT results show that the hydration treatment affects the failure mode of shale. …”

Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate in Foetal Lung Mice: Sexual Dimorphism by Olga Carvalho, Carlos Gonçalves

“…In the vitamin A group, we detected retinol and retinyl palmitate in both genders, and we observed a more evident sexual dimorphism for both retinoids. Our study also indicates that, from developmental day E15 to E19, there is an increase in the retinoids content in foetal lung and a gender difference in the retinoids metabolism. …”

Fuel Consumption and Traffic Emissions Evaluation of Mixed Traffic Flow with Connected Automated Vehicles at Multiple Traffic Scenarios by Bin Zhao, Yalan Lin, Huijun Hao, Zhihong Yao

“…The higher the penetration rate, the more significant the reduction in fuel consumption and traffic emissions. (2) In the three typical traffic scenarios, the advantages of CAVs are more evident in the signalized intersection. When the penetration rate of CAVs is 100%, the fuel consumption and traffic emissions reduction ratio is as high as 32%. …”

Žemininkai Literary Movement in Vilnius: Relationship with the Space of a Multinational City by Mindaugas Kvietkauskas

“…However, as early as during the war years, and especially in the post-war period, a shift in the individual attitudes of some of the žemininkai is evident. The initial nationalistic schemes are loosened or questioned, and signs of the ‘Other’ are integrated, which is first of all manifested in their poetry and poetic prose about Vilnius. …”

Artificial Intelligence and Inequality: A Legal Aspect by A. I. Rybin, E. O. Chashhukhin

“…The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of artificial intelligence (hereinafter also referred to as AI) on social inequality. It is evident that AI not only brings about advantages but also serves as a means of infringing upon human rights, exacerbating social stratification at both the level of individual societies and on a global scale. …”

More than Mounts the Eye: Coleridge, Byron, De Quincey by Marc Porée

“…Thomas De Quincey fait le cheminement inverse dans Recollections of the Lakes and the Lake Poets (1838-1840), lorsqu’il affirme que ces "humbles montagnes", peuplées de montagnards humbles mais d’une grande force morale, bien qu’ayant la préférence de Wordsworth, méritent toute l’attention critique possible.Les deux parties devraient converger autour de la question suivante: pourquoi les romantiques de la première génération ont-ils dû de façon répétée repousser les accusations de modération et d’esprit de clocher, quand il n’était que trop évident de voir que le rang éminent de leurs productions dépassait de loin la prétendue "humilité" de leur cadre indigène ?…”

Damping Torque Analysis of the PMSG-Based WT with Supplementary Damping Control for Mitigating Interarea Oscillations by Yanan Yang, Yujun Li, Xiaotian Yuan, Jiapeng Li, Zhengchun Du

“…Based on this, the damping torque analysis (DTA) method is applied to explore the contribution of the PMSG-based WT with an auxiliary damping controller to LFO damping enhancement, whose analytical expressions of the damping torque coefficients reveal the impacts of the control parameters and the operation conditions on the system damping characteristics. It is evident that the installation location of the wind power plant (WPP) plays a leading role in determining whether the damping provided by the PMSG controller is positive or negative. …”
