The biopolitics of Arctic tourism development and sustainability by Aapo Lunden

“…The article claims, from a biopolitical perspective, that arctified visions of tourism and sustainable tourism in the Arctic can be understood as the production of heterotopic spaces. By engaging with Foucault’s concept of heterotopia as spaces of exception based on deviation (alterity) and compensation (sustainability), the article further claims that it provides a valuable framework for analysing contemporary challenges and paradoxes of sustainability and tourism growth strategies in the Arctic. …”

Deformation and Failure Law of Roadway along Goaf and Reserve Width of Section Coal Pillar by Yunsheng Chen, Jian Sun, Di Pang, Ruofei Zhang

“…On this basis, the deformation failure law of 7 m and 8 m coal pillars and surrounding rock of roadway along goaf under different supporting conditions (bolt and cable with different row spacing) were further simulated and analyzed. The results showed that when 7 m coal pillars were reserved in 9106 roadway along goaf, the optimal bolt row spacing was 800 mm. …”

Dust deposition characteristics on photovoltaic arrays investigated through wind tunnel experiments by Juan Wang, Weiwei Hu, Yunyun Wen, Fei Zhang, Xingcai Li

“…The results indicate that the dust accumulation on the first panel exponential growth with increasing tilt angle, incoming flow angles, and height, while subsequent panels displayed a trend of initial increase followed by a decrease, with a maximum increasing ratio achieved at specific installation configurations, the difference of dust mass on each panel can even be several times. Notably, when the spacing between panels exceeds twice the panel height, the mutual influence on dust deposition becomes negligible, providing a quantifiable threshold for optimal panel spacing. …”
