Path Loss Channel Model for Inland River Radio Propagation at 1.4 GHz by Junyi Yu, Wei Chen, Kun Yang, Changzhen Li, Fang Li, Yishui Shui

“…Specifically, parameters optimization uses Okumura-Hata model in dB scale to replace the equation transformed from the free space loss in REL model; secondly, diffraction loss caused by the obstacles (e.g., large buildings, bridges, or some other facilities near the river bank) is also taken into account; mixed-path methodology as another improvement is used for Inland River (IR) model because the actual propagation environment between transmitter (TX) antenna and receiver (RX) antenna contains both land part and water part. …”

New Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System Using Piezo-Bearing by Jinkyo F. Choo, Dong-Ho Ha, Seok-Gi Chang, Dong-Ho Lee, Chang-Beck Cho

“…However, the application of the BWIM system is subordinated to the type of superstructure, composition, geometry, materials, and shape of the bridge, the location of the strain sensors used in the system, and the need to calibrate the measured strain curve and of a precise model of the structure at hand. In order to be free from these constraints, this paper proposes a simpler BWIM system using the bridge bearings as a weighing scale to measure the reaction forces at the supports resulting from the passing traffic. …”

Business culture of entrepreneurship: Analysis of maturity in Ukraine and Russia by Larysa Ligonenko

“…To conduct a comparative study of the maturity of the business culture of entrepreneurship, an evaluation system was formed, which includes 21 evaluation objects, grouped into 4 components: 1) basic values (independence, security, equality); 2) ethical values (justification (perception) of unjust enrichment, appropriation of property, violence); 3) personal values (importance of family, friends, work, free time, politics); 4) economic values (recognition of the possibility of obtaining high entrepreneurial income and business development based on hard work, understanding the positives of the development of competition; giving priority to the development of private property over the state, personal economic responsibility over social dependence). …”

Blasting for Fracturing and Improving the Permeability of Deep, Soft, Outburst Prone Coal Seams Using Blasthole and Relief Hole Drilled into the Underlying Stratum: Optimal Hole Di... by Jianyu Zhang, Xingguo Zhao, Shigui Fu, Guodong Qiao, Xin Zhang, Shuai Yang

“…The results showed that the blasting-induced stress wave was reflected from the coal–rock interface and transformed into a tensile wave owing to the different wave impedances of coal and rock, thereby fracturing the rock and coal masses better and achieving the intended permeability improvement effect. A free surface effect was produced near the relief hole during the blasting process, which directed the stress wave to propagate in the direction of the relief hole, thereby promoting fracturing in that direction. …”
