La ville durable, un territoire d’avenir pour la biodiversité urbaine ? by Delphine Gramond

“…By nature, it is composite, bringing together within the city indigenous, exotic, wild and other introduced species in public and private spaces. The complex task of characterising this biodiversity stems from a shift away from the scientific naturalist approach based on the knowledge of the diversity of living organisms towards multiform notions integrating systems and representations. …”

Les territoires agriurbains en Île-de-France : entre paysage ordinaire, paysage agricole et paysage alimentaire ? by Monique Toublanc, Monique Poulot

“…Agri-urban areas, the latest-born "project territories" (in French, territoires de projet) in the Île-de-France region (1999), integrate farming spaces and landscapes in urban development. This article looks at the territorial and landscape features promoted by the stakeholders, the term landscape being understood in both its tangible and intangible dimensions. …”

Study on Accessibility of Feeder Lines with Different Geometric Shapes by Qing Tang, Peng Du

“…The finding emerging from this study is that the accessibility of feeder lines differs obviously due to their shapes, given the same conditions of total line length, stop spacing, and vehicle fleet size. The service area of feeder lines with branches or a loop is closer to the rail station compared with that of linear lines, thus leading to fewer passengers served but shorter average travel time under specific routing plans. …”

The Environmental Impact of a Wave Dragon Array Operating in the Black Sea by Sorin Diaconu, Eugen Rusu

“…Comparisons of the wave model outputs have been carried out in both geographical and spectral spaces. The results show that although a significant influence appears near the wave farm, this gradually decreases to the coast line level. …”

Optimal Pattern Synthesis of Linear Antenna Array Using Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm by Prerna Saxena, Ashwin Kothari

“…In this work, GWO has been applied to linear antenna arrays for optimal pattern synthesis in the following ways: by optimizing the antenna positions while assuming uniform excitation and by optimizing the antenna current amplitudes while assuming spacing and phase as that of uniform array. GWO is used to achieve an array pattern with minimum side lobe level (SLL) along with null placement in the specified directions. …”

Bending performance and design of reinforced concrete ribbed bridge deck slabs retrofitted with steel-plate reinforcement by Jianshuai Liu, Shuai Tian, Tao Li

“…The bridge deck is best stressed when the bolt (M12 mm × 200 mm) spacing is 0.8 times the slab thickness. To prevent brittle damage to the bridge deck, a steel plate with a width of 160 mm and thickness of 10 mm should be used for strengthening. …”

Non-metric variations in individuals who died during the perinatal period in past populations: recording protocol and comparative data by Caroline Partiot, Dominique Castex, Valérie Delattre, Bruno Maureille, Mark Guillon

“…They are classically identified during osteological analysis to develop an individual profile, analyse biological affinities between individuals and outline possible genetic relatedness clusters in burial spaces. However, although numerous studies have focused on their occurrence in adult archaeological samples, data on their development, expression and frequency in skeletally immature individuals are still scarce. …”

INTERNATIONAL CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS: ESTABLISHMENT, DEVELOPMENT AND FEATURES OF FUNCTIONING by Петро ПІДСАДНЮК

“…Such non-governmental actors are able to respond adaptively and act more quickly and locally on the world stage to address the most pressing issues, providing assistance and support to the most vulnerable categories and in the most critical geopolitical spaces. With the help of an interdisciplinary approach, it was possible to identify the historical background of the origin of the phenomenon of selfless human activity, a systematic political and legal analysis of international and domestic legislation helped to identify the peculiarities of the functioning of international charitable organizations in the United States, Europe and Ukraine, and a generalization of the obtained results crystallized the foundations and features of their direct involvement in problem areas. …”

Behaviour of Eccentric Concrete Columns Reinforced with Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Bars by Zrar Sedeeq Othman, Ahmed Heidayet Mohammad

“…The following parameters were included in this study: the replacement of steel with CFRP bars, eccentricity of load, longitudinal reinforcement ratios, and tie spacing. Test results in terms of load-strain, load-mid height deflection curves, and crack patterns showed that the column reinforced with CFRP bars behaved similarly to the concrete column reinforced with conventional steel bars with a slight difference in axial and flexural capacity. …”
