RESEARCH ON VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF LINEAR CONJUGATE PLANETARY GEAR REDUCER WITH SMALL TOOTH DIFFERENCE (MT) by CUI JianKun, XIA Juan, ZHOU KongTao

“…Combining the linear conjugate tooth profile with the planetary gear transmission with small tooth difference, taking the linear conjugate small tooth difference planetary gear reducer as the research object, the structure natural frequency and vibration mode of the reducer are obtained through finite element modal analysis, which shows the reducer has good structural dynamic characteristics; through the simulation analysis of vibration characteristics, the vibration law of the reducer under typical working conditions is obtained, and the vibration test experiment is carried out. …”

Los peligros de naturalizar la política. Una reflexión a partir de la filosofía de Hannah Arendt by María Soledad Sanhueza Poblete

“… La tesis que desarrollamos en el presente artículo, basándonos en la filosofía de Hannah Arendt, es que la política no sólo es antinatural, sino que tratar de buscar un fundamento natural para ella —como lo hacen las ideologías racistas, pero también la de los Derechos Humanos— resulta tremendamente peligroso para la propia política. …”

Fascisme et science-fiction by Aaron Santesso

“…A great deal of recent criticism has made the case that sf is “naturally” liberal and progressive. This essay will argue that such claims underestimate the diversity of the genre, overlooking the ways in which certain foundational tropes and narrative structures (evident most clearly in pulp-era sf) invite plots and figures aligned more closely with fascism than with progressive thought. …”
