Characteristics of the Interface between Bamboo Grids and Reinforced Soil of High-Filled Embankments in Loess Areas by Jingwei Zhang, Jia Li, Julong Wang, Shuaiqi Xu

“…Bamboo grids enhance the stability and shear resistance of soils because of their good deformation performance, and thus, the shear rate effect within 7 mm/min can be negligible. The greater the relative compaction of the subgrade soil, the better the reinforcement effect owing to the greater cohesive force, greater internal friction angle, and better bite force. …”

Dissociable genetic influences on eye movements during abstract versus naturalistic social scene viewing in infancy by Ana Maria Portugal, Mark J. Taylor, Kristiina Tammimies, Angelica Ronald, Terje Falck-Ytter

“…We observed significant genetic influences in both conditions (h 2 naturalistic  = 0.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14 to 0.44; h 2 abstract  = 0.25, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.39), while shared environmental influences were negligible. Although some genetic influences were shared between the two conditions, unique genetic factors were linked to naturalistic scene viewing, indicating that fixation durations index different phenomena dependent on the context. …”

Analysis of the Bearing Characteristics of Single Piles under Vertical and Torsional Combined Loads by Shun-Wei Wang, Jie Jiang, Chen-Zhi Fu, Xiao-Duo Ou, Juan Tang

“…When the aspect ratio is comparatively small, the influence of the loading path is negligible; however, when the aspect ratio is comparatively large, it is necessary to avoid the preliminary application of the torque to a single pile to prevent the decrease in the ultimate bearing capacity on account of the formation of the T⟶V loading mode. …”

FUNDAMENTALS OF THE THEORY OF VENTILLATION PROCESSES IN THE STEAM TURBINES TPP by V. M. Neuimin

“…Seven ordinary formulae obtained on its basis provide a separate stage ventilation-losses immediate evaluation (with rotation blades of the finale stage not unwinding from the turning, with rotation blades of the finale and intermediate stages unwinding from the turning), in the turbine altogether-vapor-evacuated including by readings of the regular instruments located at the connecters of the exhaust part of the lowpressure cylinder.As the cornerstone of the new ventilation heating-up evaluation system the author lays two experimentally established facts: the ventilating capacity losses are practically constant at working steam negligible volumetric flow rates; symmetrical ventilating flows in the blade channel mingle entirely to the moment of their split up at the periphery. …”

Solar Hydrogen Production Coupled with the Degradation of a Dye Pollutant Using TiO2 Modified with Platinum and Nafion by Jungwon Kim, Yiseul Park, Hyunwoong Park

“…However, the activity of TiO2 modified with either platinum or nafion for H2 production was negligible under the same experimental conditions. The negatively charged nafion layer enhances the adsorption of cationic RhB and pulls protons, a source of hydrogen, to the surface of TiO2 through electrostatic attraction. …”
