Research Progress of Hydrological Big Data Based on CiteSpace Knowledge Graph by MENG Lu, YANG Haibo

“…Research related to hydrological big data has been a focal point and core issue in the field of hydrology in recent years.It is also an important component for improving the efficiency of hydrological affairs processing and enhancing the authenticity and credibility of hydrological patterns.This study utilized a sample dataset comprising 264 papers collected from China Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and 219 papers collected from Web of Science (WOS).Using CiteSpace software,this paper analyzed the researchers,institutions, and research hotspots and explored the development trend of research in this field in depth.The findings indicate that,overall,both Chinese and international publications show an increasing trend.Regarding researchers and research institutions,there is a phenomenon of “large scattering and small gathering” among Chinese scholars and institutions.Examining research hotspots reveals that keywords such as “intelligent hydrology,”“early warning system,”“big data testing” signify that the focus of research in this field is gradually shifting towards technological and digital directions.Whether domestically or internationally,modern hydrological monitoring technologies and hydrological methods,in comparison to traditional technologies and methods,demonstrate higher accuracy and stability.They can more fully meet the practical application requirements,and the combination of hydrology and big data has gradually become a research trend in this field.…”

« C’est eux contre nous » ou « Qui a peur de qui ? » : la rhétorique post-11 septembre de l’administration américaine vue par la caricature de presse by Dominique CADINOT

“…However, despite the context, on December 15th, three months after the attacks, Atlanta’s major daily newspaper, TheAtlanta Journal-Constitution, ran an editorial cartoon drawn by Mike Luckovich questioning John Ashcroft’s management of the USA PATRIOT Act.The apparent purpose of the caricature is to satirize the way the Arab or Muslim communities are stigmatized as “enemies within” and to critique the artificial dichotomy used by the administration: “Us versus them”.However, the decision to depict John Ashcroft, leader of the domestic war-on-terror apparatus and prominent evangelist, indicates that what is at stake here is the thorny issue of the relations between state power and religion.Since cartoons may provide scholars with a glimpse of the political debate or public opinion surrounding past events, this essay will seek to highlight and reflect on the feelings of millions of Americans who, a few months after the implementation of the national security strategy, initiated a response to those confounding patriotism and bigotry.…”

Research Status and Development Trend of High Strength Steel in Marine Corrosive Environment by WEI Huanhuan, CHEN Chen, ZHENG Dongdong, DU Xiaoyun

“…The marine environment has the characteristics such as high humidity and high salinity.Offshore buildings and structures are affected by splash erosion and damage,and durability of steel structure is subject to severe challenges and tests.The failure mechanism of high strength steel in marine corrosive environment,the reliability assessment of structural system,and surface protection technology have received extensive attention from scholars in China and abroad.Based on the division of marine environment,the corrosion causes and damage mechanism of high strength steel,and the relationship between mechanical property degradation and corrosion,this paper discusses the influence of Cl^- concentration,temperature and humidity on the mechanical properties of high strength steel in marine environment,combined with the previous simulation research on high strength steel base metal and weld joint in ocean splash zone.The relationship between corrosion cycle and mechanical properties is introduced,and finally the trend and main directions of future research are proposed.It is expected to provide a reference for the in-depth study of localized corrosion behavior of high strength steel in marine environment,the performance optimization of new connection joints and the application of safety protection technology in the future.At the same time,it will provide a strong support for the establishment of life prediction and failure assessment method for high strength steel in marine environment.…”
