Operational Method of Stem Turbine Installation under Non-Conventional Modes by V. P. Kashcheev, E. O. Vоrоnоv, V. A. Khаimоv, A. V. Kashcheev, V. N. Sоrоkin

“…While starting turbines from cold and non-cooled-down states rotors are heated quicker than cylinders due to significantly less weight and more intensive interaction with steam and the value of their differential expansion reaches up to the rated ones in the period of 4-5 hours.The investigations have revealed that while using a swirling steam attemperator it is possible to feed steam to turbine seals of the required temperature and at the required time during its variable operational conditions. …”

Faster-than-Nyquist transmission based on multi-layer superposition by Shuang-yang LI, Lei PING, Bao-ming BAI, Xiao MA

“…Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling technique has received much attention recently as an effective way of enhancing the spectral efficiency.In order to reduce the detection complexity for FTN signals,a multi-layer superposition transmission approach was present.In addition,how to calculate upper bounds on the highest information transmission rate was shown and how to choose suitable component codes was suggested.Numerical results show that the system with different code rates and power on each layer outperforms the system with only power variance on each layer,meanwhile results also imply that given the roll-off factor of the pulse shaping function is not zero,the proposed system is superior to the orthogonal system with a higher modulation format.…”

Mimikra jako przykład decepcji w przyrodzie a przejawy oszustwa w ekonomii - wybrane problemy by Kamila Musiał, Wiesław Musiał

“…Do wykształcenia złożonych form oszukiwania, czy zwodzenia w świecie zwierząt doprowadziło rozpowszechnienie modelu drapieżca-ofiara, który poprzez maskowanie się lub udawanie kogoś innego, miał zapewnić ochronę przed atakiem lub taki atak ułatwić. W ekonomii można natomiast spotkać postawy przybierające postać mimikry, a więc analogicznego do przyrody kreowania się na kogoś innego, poprzez oszukańcze strategie stosowane przez różnorodnych wyzyskiwaczy, żerujących na naiwności stereotypach i automatyzmach ludzkich reakcji. …”

Walking into the wild. A transition to a co-evolutionary landscape by Adriano Dessì

“… This research paper attempts to shift the approach and the possible attitudes of architectural and landscape design towards an interpretation of ecological transition based on the dimension of the ‘wild’, that is, on the possibility that the transformation of places by man contemplates other and the most diverse forms of life, spheres of proximity in which human activities give way to third and fourth natures, which develop their own habitats in an autonomous, dynamic and vital manner. …”
