Administrative Contract as a Legal Form of Public Administration: Updating Doctrinal Approaches by V. R. Bila

“…Contractual regulators can be both formalized in the form of administrative contracts or unformalized, when the agreement between the authorities is fixed at the level of legal acts or when laws provide the possibility of reaching a consensus in vertical and horizontal administrative legal relations. The author has established the correlation between administrative contracts and other types of legal forms, including with administrative acts, the common legal acts. …”

Dissertation Overview: Numerical modelling of the hydrodynamics and energy generation of an oscillating wave surge converter system by Guilherme Fuhrmeister Vargas, Alexandre Beluco

“… The Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC) is one of the most relevant systems for harnessing energy from ocean waves, generating energy by capturing the horizontal component of wave motion. This technology, which is on a pre-commercial development scale, presents one of the greatest potentials for electricity generation, due to its operating principle and the great improvement in design experienced over the last few years. …”

Reproduction of Local Strong Wind Area Induced in the Downstream of Small-Scale Terrain by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Approach by Takanori Uchida, Keiji Araki

“…It was clarified that in order to simulate the air flow characteristic of the separated flow originating from the small-scale terrain (at an altitude of approximately 180 m) targeted in the present research, approximately 10 m of spatial resolution of computational cell in the horizontal direction is required. In addition, the effect of stable stratification on the flow was also examined. …”

Development of a high-order global dynamical core using the discontinuous Galerkin method for an atmospheric large-eddy simulation (LES) and proposal of test cases: SCALE-DG v0.8.0 by Y. Kawai, H. Tomita, H. Tomita

“…<p>Focusing on the future global atmospheric simulations with a grid spacing of O(10–100 m), we developed a global nonhydrostatic atmospheric dynamical core with high-order accuracy by applying a discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) for horizontal and vertical discretization. Furthermore, considering a global large-eddy simulation (LES), a Smagorinsky–Lilly turbulence model was introduced to the proposed global dynamical core in the DGM framework. …”

Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Tidal Current in the Eastern Waters of Macao in Summer by FANG Shenguang, HUANG Chunhua, YU Fenghua, WANG Shijun, HE Yong

“…The eastern waters of Macao at the Pearl River Estuary are an important channel for water and sediment discharged by the west beach of Lingdingyang Estuary and Macao waterway.The measured data during the flood seasons shows that the waters feature semi-diurnal tidal currents,and the average velocity in this area is about 21~23 cm/s during the flood and 18~29 cm/s during the ebb.The flowing direction is stable,namely,N—NNW trending during the flood and S trending during the ebb,and tidal power is stronger in the south.The average velocity in the waters is mainly dependent on the tidal type,and the flood runoff mainly affects residual currents and tidal duration.A stagnant area is formed in the north of the waters during the flood,and the water and sediment in the south are transported outside the Lingdingyang Estuary.Wind on the sea surface has a significant impact on the vertical dynamic structure of flow in the range of 40% water depth,and residual flow direction in the range of 10% water depth near the sea surface has a good follow-up.During southwest wind,the maximum horizontal flow velocity gradient appears in the second flood and ebb stage and corresponds to the occurrence of the maximum sediment concentration in the tidal cycle.Due to the shallow water depth in the north of the waters,the bed shear gradient force is generally greater than that in the south.As a result,the sediment concentration observed in the north of the waters is significantly higher than that in the southeast.According to the comprehensive analysis,astronomical tides,flood runoff,and wind are the main controlling dynamic factors in the waters.The friction resistance of shallow water in the north is drastically larger than that in the south,which leads to a significant difference in tidal duration and phases of vertical floods and ebbs.As a consequence,the special vertical dynamic structure of convergence on the surface and dispersion at the bottom is formed in the waters,which is strengthened by massive freshwater runoffs during the flood seasons.This leads to the trend of surface diluted water drifting to the east and the invasion of the nearshore by bottom high-salt water.…”

SÍNDROME DE EMACIACIÓN POSDESTETE PORCINO: ASPECTOS EPIDEMIOLÓGICOS by CA Díaz, J Jaime, V Vera, N Rodríguez, GA Casas, JD Mogollón

“…el propósito de este trabajo fue revisar los aspectos relacionados con el síndrome de ema-ciación posdestete (Postweaning Multysistemic Wasting syndrome, PMWs) enfatizando en sus características epidemiológicas. el PMWs pertenece a un grupo de enfermedades asociadas al Circovirus porcino tipo 2 (PCvd), cuya presentación podría relacionarse con otro agente infeccioso aún no identificado o con la interacción de múltiples factores vincu-lados con el manejo zootécnico y con la presencia de otros agentes infecciosos. el patrón epidemiológico de la enfermedad no está claramente definido pero se ha observado que la infección con PCv2 dentro de la población porcina sigue un curso enzoótico, mientras que el desarrollo del PMWs genera una presentación epizoótica. se han reportado tan-to la transmisión vertical como la horizontal, pero el impacto sobre el desarrollo de los animales podría involucrar, además del PCv2, otras etiologías. …”
