Prediction and Evaluation of Rockburst Based on Depth Neural Network by Jin Zhang, Mengxue Wang, Chuanhao Xi

“…Based on the division of rockburst risk areas, according to different rockburst levels, the corresponding treatment methods are put forward to avoid the occurrence of rockburst disaster. Based on the field measured data and test data, combined with the existing rockburst situation, numerical simulation and neural network method are used to predict the rock burst classification, which is of great significance for the early and late construction safety of the tunnel.…”

Maquiavel e a Literatura Pop Management: o mundo das incertezas e o convite às fantasias organizacionais by Luis Fernando Tosta Barbato, Mateus Henriques Patrício

“…Through the analysis of these two works, we were able to conclude that the leadership exercised by Hunter’s benevolent and servant leader, despite seeming so far from Machiavelli’s cold and rational leader, paradoxically does not avoid using the most appropriate strategies to maintain power and win the loyalty of his employees, which shows that Hunter’s conception of leadership does not fail to rely on elements characteristic of Machiavelli.…”
