The Evolution of the NATO-Russia Relations by V. I. Batyuk

“…At the same time, for a variety of reasons, in the post-bipolar world the military-political dependence of the Western European subregion on Washington did not decrease, as many hoped, but, on the contrary, has increased, thus excluding for Moscow the very possibility to play on the contradictions between the United States and its European allies. …”

Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Basic Law of Dense Linear Multihole Directional Hydraulic Fracturing by Xin Zhang, Yuqi Zhang

“…The results show the following: (1) Using the dense linear holes to control directional hydraulic fracturing can effectively form directional hydraulic fractures extending along the borehole line. (2) The hydraulic fracturing simulation program is very suitable for studying the basic law of directional hydraulic fracturing. (3) The reason why the hydraulic fracture can be controlled and oriented is that firstly, due to the mutual compression between the dense holes, the maximum effective tangential tensile stress appears on the connecting line of the drilling hole, where the hydraulic fracture is easy to be initiated. …”

Parameter Optimization of a Vertical Spring-Viscous Damper-Coulomb Friction System by Biao Wei, Yi Zhuo, Chaobin Li, Menggang Yang

“…Although other papers propose that an increase of spring force and a decrease of friction force can reduce the structural residual displacement, this paper can minimize the residual displacement value to be 0 by using a super lubrication in the middle of contact surface and a variable increment ratio of concave friction distribution. The reason is that the horizontal component of spring force is always greater than the friction force within any relative displacement between the structure and the ground in this paper. …”

Benchmarking of key performance factors in textile industry effluent treatment processes for enhanced environmental remediation by M. U. Shakeel, S. Z. J. Zaidi, A. Ahmad, A. A.M. Abahussain, M. H. Nazir

“…While the efficiency of the ETP plant was calculated about 88% using a Compact photometer at elevated conditions of temperature such as > 45°C, while at other temperatures the efficiency decreases significantly due to several reasons. The operating time of water treatment was decreased due to the variations in temperature of wastewater while other conditions kept constant like pressure, flow rates of water and chemicals (Polyacrylamide and Polymeric Ferric Sulfate). …”
