Design and Application of Series Flexure Mechanism based on Elliptical Flexure Hinge by Shan Mingcai, Liu Shuang, Kong Xiangjie

“…To increase the stroke of precision positioning system,a large stroke series flexure mechanism based on elliptical flexure hinge is presented.The method of pseudo-rigid-body model is applied to analyze the motion process of the series flexure mechanism,and the theoretical model of stiffness and maximum stress is established.Taking the ultrasonic linear motor as the driving element,a unidirectional 2.5 mm stroke as design objectives,the structural parameters of the series flexure mechanism are achieved,the result error between finite element analysis and theoretical calculation is less than 5%,which proved the correctness of the design.A positioning system which having millimeter stroke is built,and a continuous stepping experiment is carried out,the experimental results proved that the system which could realize the precise positioning and has large stroke.…”

Marine survey unmanned surface vessel:platform design and application by Weiping WANG, Xi HE, Chao DONG, Bing ZHENG, Xue LI

“…Marine survey unmanned surface vessel (USV) has a wide range of applications.However, the attitude of USV is easily affected by wind, waves, currents and floating debris, which may cause structural damage or low precision observation.Double hull and wide deck platform of unmanned surface vessed was designed, and the transducer of multi-beam echo sounder was installed on the lifting mechanism.These designs improved the sailing attitude of the platform, the safety of the transducer and the accuracy of the observed data.In 2020, this USV was participated in the dike-inspection mission of Jiangxi’s emergency flood relief.It successfully inspected the sediment environment of 14 km dike, affected by the unfavorable working conditions like rapid water flow, turbid water and floating garbage.Four risks were located, which provided important data support for the anti-flood campaign.…”

FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS AND THEIR IMPACT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH by Yassine MIMOUNI, Mouna BESSOUYAH

“…The error correction model ECM was used, and the results of the estimates showed that there is no causal relationship between the two variables in the short term; and after testing After valuation of transactions, it turned out that the error correction coefficient CointEq is negative and significant; this explains the existence of a long-term equilibrium relationship between the study variables, and from the test of the analysis of the statement, The shocks that reflect any change in the level of GDP variable by explaining the variance that the occurrence of any single structural shock in financial technology investments by 1% has a positive impact on GDP,  and after analyzing the response functions to random shocks, it was found that the degree of response of both variables has been achieved since the first period.…”

A crítica pós-moderna: analítica da interação e da sociabilidade by Carlos A. Gadea

“…This article discusses these contributions on the basis of those theoretical elements that are presented as heirs of a neglected sociological tradition in the academia because of the occasional hegemony of analytical perspectives that are more rooted in structural determinism. When the post-modern critique reformulates issues of sociability and political and cultural behavior and resorts to an analytical framework in which concepts such as plurality, multiplicity, fragmentation and relativism gain importance, it is doing nothing else than reintroducing a theoretical legacy and a sociological adventure that arise, for instance, from the sociological impressionism of Simmel, the pragmatism of William James and psychosocial studies of Georg H. …”
