Influence of Natural Gas Hydrate’s Property Weakening from Dissociation on Subsidence of Seabed Sediments: A Simulation Study by Shuzhi Ma, Hongbo Li, Hongbiao Jia

“…The simulation results show that the subsidence of sediments is centrally distributed within the dissociation area and the subsidence of hydrate-bearing sediment’s top surface is much more severe than that of the overlying layer. Subsidence on the horizontal section above the hydrate reservoir presents an essentially symmetric dish-like subsidence trough, with the greatest subsidence in the centre and approximately constant subsidence beyond the trough range. …”

The Study on Large-Diameter Drilling Prevention Method of Rock Burst in the Xinxing Coal by Gao Xu, Zuo Minghui, Shu Yanmin

“…On the basis, combined with theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, studying the rock burst prevention and treatment mechanism in large drilling, through the statistics of the Xinxing mine pressure characteristics, the measurement of the physical parameters of coal and rock and the test of ground stress finding is that the coal satisfies “Three hard” condition in Xinxing mine and is affected by larger horizontal tectonic stress. Combined with the real geological conditions, the layout parameters of relief pressure large drilling are simulated, and the result shows that the drilling of 600 diameters and 10 m pitch of hole and throughout the working face is reasonable, and the effect is obvious about pressure relief. …”

Por uma anatomia do gesto literário: design de si e exercício crítico em Laura Erber by Edma de Góis

“…En el caso de Laura Erber y, en cierta medida relativizando la noción de autonomía de lo literario, nos interesa explorar la construcción de un diseño de sí (Groys, 2016) y el ejercicio crítico (Laddaga, 2013) de la autora, ambos vinculados a la forma, en que varios índices textuales buscan orientar la recepción, aunque haciendo colapsar el horizonte de expectativas de sus lectores (Jauss, 1994).…”

Pedagogía de la resistencia: la negación como pieza de (de)formación / Pedagogy of resistance: the denial as a key element of (de)formation by Rodrigo Matos de Souza, Ricardo Castaño Gaviria, Elizeu Clementino de Souza

“…La negación o mejor, una filosofía de la negatividad (Adorno, 2009), se presenta como lugar de reconfiguración del pensamiento pedagógico y de sus  posibilidades para cuestionar el carácter antropológico e histórico de lo que se nos presenta como la verdad; la actitud de resistencia constituye aquí una pieza clave de esa posible filosofía de la negación, que nos permite ampliar nuestro horizonte de pensamiento y acción. El sentido último no es llegar a concluir nada, por el contrario, intentamos abrir una provocación que desestabilice tanto la idea de sujeto cognoscente como de sus relaciones con el mundo, consideramos que de esta manera se abren las posibilidades a otras experiencias y narrativas sobre los procesos de formación y (de) formación en la educación. …”

Characteristics of Water Distribution in Vadose Zone in the Soil Site and Its Impact on Site Preservation by ZHANG Xiaozhou, YUN Zhihan, YUAN Wei, LI Yi, ZHAO Fan

“…Affected by water,ruins of soil texture are prone to crack,crispness,salt accumulation,moss and other hazards,which is not conducive to their preservation.In order to find out the source of soil water damage in the soil site so as to provide a reliable basis for the preservation of this site,based on the refined hydrogeological survey,this paper used the Solinst Levelogger groundwater recorder and MW307GD-M4 wireless gradient soil three-parameter monitoring terminal to continuously monitor the water trend in vadose zone in a long time sequence,and analyse the cause and mechanism of water damage in the archeological shed.The results show that the moisture content of the vadose zone of the ruin is generally high,with that of the same layer outside the shed about 10% higher than that inside the shed,but the soil permeability coefficients mainly range from 2.07×10^-5 to 3.41×10^-5cm/s,suggesting the weak effect of the rainfall outside the shed on the soil in the shed through horizontal infiltration.The phreatic water level ranges from 3.2 to 5.6 m,with an amplitude of about 0.25 m within the hydrological year.The rising capillary water subject to its fluctuation can directly affect the excavation interface under extreme rainfall conditions as the main control factor of the water damage of the ruin of soil texture.By reference to the engineering-geological concept of “upstream flow interception,downstream flow discharge and local flow control”,regulating the moisture content of the soil body in the sacrificial area casts new light on the preservation of ruins of soil texture.…”
