Modeling and Analysis of Magnetic Nanoparticles Injection in Water-Oil Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media under Magnetic Field Effect by Mohamed F. El-Amin, Ahmed M. Saad, Amgad Salama, Shuyu Sun

“…As a proof of concept, the proposed model is applied on a countercurrent imbibition flow system in which both the displacing and the displaced fluids move in opposite directions. Physical variables, including water-nanoparticles suspension saturation, nanoparticles concentration, and pore wall/throat concentrations of deposited nanoparticles, are investigated under the influence of the magnetic field. …”

Equity of access and participation in tertiary education in Aotearoa New Zealand: the tale of three regions by Sharon Brownie, Patrick Broman, Cathy Cooney, Leith Comer

“…Five considerations arise for policy and leadership practice: (1) the impact of centralisation in creating ‘educational deserts’; (2) the relationship between funding models and an entity’s ability to deliver regionally; (3) the possible impact of international students on domestic students and host organisations; (4) the relationship between ‘belonging’ and tertiary education participation; and (5) an entity’s role in closing equity gaps. Current reforms must move beyond rhetoric and avoid overly centralised education and training provision. …”

Keys for transforming the curriculum of the Chilean education system after the pandemic by Alexis Moreira-Arenas, Israel Ferreira-Pinto, Jennifer Obregón-Reyes, Máximo Quiero-Bastías

“…We present three proposals to move forward: 1) educational policies aimed at greater curricular decentralization, based on a limited set of learning objectives at the national level and flexibility to incorporate objectives at the regional level; 2) professional development coherent with curricular design and implementation in regional teams; and 3) specific spaces for school principals to analyze pedagogical practices that allow for relevant curricular implementation.…”

Cyclic Behavior of Steel Beam to CFT Column Connections with Gusset Plates by Peng Wang, Zhan Wang, Jianrong Pan, Yanjun Zheng, Deming Liu

“…Experiment results indicated that the gusset plates in BBC (beam-brace-CFT) connections could effectively move the plastic hinge on beam away from the column face, reduce the strain concentration between the beam end and column face, and notably improve the hysteretic behavior; the plastic rotation was able to achieve at least 4% story drift angle before 20% strength degradation. …”

La vie des Gommes : pour une approche biographique des pneus de Carol Rama by Carolina Spovieri

“…If these rubber strips have aroused any interest, it has generally been to study them from the point of view of Rama’s past, by bringing them back to the family tragedy of her father’s suicide. But if we move beyond this biographical approach, leaving behind the life of the artist to follow the historical trajectory of rubber strips (the ordinary use and function of the tyre, its use as an artistic material), it becomes possible to raise new hypotheses for reading the work in a different way. …”

Simulation Study on Dynamics of Hydraulic Turbines Used in Drilling Engineering by Yijin Zeng, Jin Wang, Shidong Ding, Haobo Zhou, Yanbin Zang, Fangtao Li

“…The simulation results show that, under the action of fluid, when the starting torque of turbine is larger than the external load, the turbine starts to move, the angular velocity increases until it remains constant, the absolute value of impact force decreases, and the impact torque decreases until it is equal to the external load; while the starting torque of turbine is smaller than the external load, the turbine stays still. …”
