Research on Dynamic Characteristics and Compensation of Wire Rope Tension and Load Measurement Based on Hydraulic Connection Device by Di Song, Gui-Yun Xu, Gao-Yang Lei, Xiao-Guang Zhang, Bao-Lai Tian

“…The Leuven friction model is used to compensate the pressure loss along the course and local pressure loss and calculate the friction force, where specific parameters are determined by experiments. The real-time compensation experiment of the tension balance hydraulic connecting device proves that the device effectively improves the accuracy of wire rope tension and load monitoring.…”

CORRUPTION'S EFFECT ON FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT – THE CASE OF MONTENEGRO by Elvira Pupović

“…Because of the need that assessing risk and potential investment returns should be in the context of goals and the time that we have to achieve our objectives, we have to immediately consider the linkage between corruption and investment inflows and to teach how to manage this phenomenon like an old risk of a new model.  …”

Modulation of diurnal variation in rainfall associated with tropical cyclones over the East Asia–Western North Pacific region by environmental vertical wind shear by Na Wei, Qian Wang, Xinghai Zhang, Dajun Zhao

“…The convection concentrated in the downshear‐left quadrant strengthens markedly when VWS becomes large, thereby delaying the peak rainfall in the inner core of the TC and enhancing the amplitude of the diurnal cycle of TCR at ~09 local standard time. Over CEC, the diurnal signal of TCR is very weak but statistically significant in the downshear‐left and upshear‐right quadrants with opposite phase, illustrating the change in asymmetry of the spatial distribution of TCR induced by the large VWS diurnal cycle. …”
