Effect of Water on Mechanical Properties of Coal Measures Mudstone Using Nanoindentation by Wenshuai Li, Bangyou Jiang, Shitan Gu

“…The results showed that the indentation modulus varied significantly, from as low as 0.2 GPa to a quite high value of 125 GPa, indicating a strongly heterogeneous distribution of mudstone. The water illustrated a significant effect on the microscale mechanical properties of water-sensitivity minerals like clay minerals. …”

Study on the Effect of Clearance on Eliminating Flexible Impact of Series Geneva Mechanism by Zhao Yong, Huang Chunqiang, Yao Jin, Li Hua

“…Then the experiment group aiming at finding the influences of different clearances of two stages geneva mechanism on the last geneva wheel is set up. The results illustrate that when the clearances exists,although the output geneva mechanism can eliminate the flexible impact,the impact brought by the clearances has greater influence on it. …”

The territory between Veii and Rome in the Archaic period: Rural structures as territorial markers of cultural frontiers by Marco Arizza, Daniela Rossi

“…The archaeological evidences–pertaining to residential structures–are rare and sporadic, although gradually increasing. The case illustrated here of the excavation in the Lucchina area (Via Trionfale, Ottavia) represents a rare opportunity to examine a ‘border’ culture in depth through information provided by investigations–still under way–into a complex of Etruscan-Veian dwellings: houses with a tripartite layout of which there remain the bases in tufa blocks and collapsed tiles. …”

La guerre des voix by Raphaël Baroni

“…Je tenterai de montrer que cette question ne recouvre pas seulement un problème d’attribution, potentiellement insoluble, mais qu’il engage la question fondamentale de la valeur des énoncés fictionnels, que ces valeurs soient esthétiques ou éthiques, ou qu’il s’agisse de la prétention de la fiction à représenter une « vérité », ou du moins un aspect objectif de la réalité. Pour illustrer mon propos, je me servirai d’un court extrait tiré du roman de Michel Houellebecq, La Carte et le territoire. …”
