Crises and the history of science: a materialist rehabilitation by Gianamar Giovannetti-Singh, Rory Kent, James Poskett

“…Over the past four decades, historians of science have come to discard crisis as a guiding heuristic in ‘big-picture’ narratives of scientific change. In this article, we argue that it can be rehabilitated without reintroducing the conceptual drawbacks of earlier historiographies. …”

Spaceborne Optical Switching Technology for Satellite Internet by Jiacheng MENG, Ningbo XIE, Zhaofeng BAI, Jiaxuan ZHU, Junxia WU, Duorui GAO, Wei WANG, Xiaoping XIE

“…With the increasing demands for ultra-high speed and large-capacity information transmission such as satellite remote sensing, big data super computing center, video battlefield and 6G mobile communication.The satellite laser communication technology using laser instead of traditional microwave as information carrier has become development trend.It is an eff ective mean to solve the bottleneck of microwave communication bandwidth and reduce the shortage of spectrum resources.In the future, we need to build a satellite internet with global coverage, which are needed to provide the capabilities that terrestrial optical fi ber networks do not have (large coverage, low-delay, services in sparsely populated areas, no geographical obstacles, etc.).The spaceborne optical switching technology is the key and core for the ultra-high speed and large capacity information processing on satellite nodes.Firstly, the development context of satellite internet based on laser communication was introduced, the importance of spaceborne optical switching technology for satellite internet was analyzed.It focused on the detailed classifi cation and comparison, system and information processing mode of space-borne optical switching technology, and showed the potential technical scheme in the future.Then, the characteristics and application schemes of optical switching core devices were analyzed and studied to provided reference for the next generation of satellite internet technology research.…”

Sensitivity Analysis of Axial Compressive Bearing Capacity of CFRP Concrete-filled Steel Tube by WU Jian, ZOU Hong, XU Zhichun, WANG Kunyun

“…The axial compressive bearing capacity of CFRP concrete-filled steel tube is related to many factors.Due to material manufacturing and use,these parameters are not a definite value.Based on this,this paper carries out the sensitivity analysis of axial compressive bearing capacity of CFRP concrete-filled steel tube with consideration of the uncertainty of parameters,conducts the parametric modeling of CFRP concrete-filled steel tube with Python,ABAQUS scripting language based on nine parameters and parameter sample values,calculates the ultimate bearing capacity by ABAQUS batch processor,analyzes the local and global sensitivity of ultimate bearing capacity,establishes the fitting function relation by the second order response surface aiming at the problem of large amount and long time of global sensitivity calculation,and calculates the global sensitivity index by the extended Fourier amplitude sensitivity test.The results show that:The inner diameter of steel tube has the greatest influence on the ultimate bearing capacity.By comparing the two methods of local sensitivity and global sensitivity,the parameters vary in a small range,and the ideal results can be obtained quickly through local sensitivity analysis.If the difference in variability of each parameter is too big,the results from global sensitivity analysis are more accurate.…”

Suicide from a Holistic Point of View by Søren Ventegodt, Joav Merrick

“…In holistic existential therapy, it is our experience, when the patient is well supported in the confrontation of the fundamental questions related to assuming responsibility for the coherence, that this confrontation will almost always lead to a big YES to life. Without confronting the fundamental question of “to be or not to be”, life can never be chosen 100% and thus never be lived fully.…”
