The Joola civilization and the management of mangroves in Lower Casamance, Senegal by Claudette Soumbane Diatta, Malick Diouf, Amadou Abdoul Sow, Charlotte Karibuhoye

“…These practices are animated by various representations that crystallize their behaviors in totems, taboos, rituals and the sacredness of natural spaces. However, with the adoption of monotheistic religions notably Islam and Christianity, certain prohibitions and beliefs that have preserved these spaces are disappearing and that mangroves are deteriorating. …”

Urban redevelopment, governance and vulnerability: thirty years of ‘regeneration’ in Dublin by Niamh Moore-Cherry

“… Over the last three decades, state intervention through urban regeneration has focused on ‘fixing’ perceived social and spatial vulnerabilities within particular neighbourhoods, communities or city spaces but has often generated new urban crises. Previous research examining regeneration over significant periods of time in the UK and Ireland, suggests that often the same spaces and communities are subject to repeated rounds of intervention. …”

Research on time–frequency characteristics of contact force based on wavelet transform by Fang He, Jian Zhang

“…Abstract When a train runs at high speed, affected by the structural characteristics of the catenary, the contact force changes periodically with span and dropper spacing. However, as the running speed of the train increases, the periodic signal of the contact force changes owing to the fluctuation of the catenary and the vibration of the pantograph, which directly affects the stable contact between the pantograph and catenary. …”

Low-latency algorithm for improving data persistence in mobile low-duty-cycle wireless sensor network by Chan JIANG, Taoshen LI, Junbin LIANG

“…Mobile low-duty-cycle wireless sensor network (MLDC-WSN) are a kind of new ad hoc networks that are appeared in recent years.In MLDC-WSN,the nodes only have limited storage spaces.Moreover,the nodes would move or sleep from time to time.Therefore,these networks have some problems such as connectivity is hard to be maintained and data are hard to be transmitted to their destinations for storage in time.As a result,data persistence (i.e.…”
