Evaluación a lo largo del tiempo de las propiedades mecánicas de los bloques de suelo-cemento utilizados en pavimentos semipermeables by M. Carvalho, F. Ramos, J. Zegarra, C. Pereira

“…Los resultados demostraron que no hubo mudanzas en las propiedades de absorción y de durabilidad de los bloques, después de 1650 días. La resistencia a la compresión tuvo un leve incremento de 9MPa (28 días de moldeados) para 12MPa (1650 días de moldeados, bloques del pavimento en uso), lo que puede ser atribuido a las reacciones que todavía suceden entre cemento, suelo y agua o a la variabilidad de materia prima y de los equipamientos utilizados. …”

Experimental Study on Anisotropic Strength and Deformation Behavior of a Coal Measure Shale under Room Dried and Water Saturated Conditions by Jingyi Cheng, Zhijun Wan, Yidong Zhang, Wenfeng Li, Syd S. Peng, Peng Zhang

“…The test results indicate that (1) the compressive strength, cohesion, internal friction angle, tangent Young’s modulus, and axial strain corresponding to the peak and residual strengths of room dried specimens exhibit anisotropic behavior that strongly depends on the orientation angle (β); (2) in comparison to the room dried samples, the compressive strength and Young’s modulus as well as the anisotropy are all reduced for water saturated specimens; and (3) the failure mechanism of the samples can be summarized into two categories: sliding along lamination and shearing of rock material, with the type occurring in a particular situation depending strongly on the lamination orientation angles with respect to the major principal stress. …”

Desintegración y recomposición de la unidad familiar de las víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia by Iván Darío Moreno-Acero, Sergio Emiro Díaz-Santos, Andrea Del Pilar Rojas-García

“…Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó la hermenéutica y el análisis conversacional, lo que facilitó una codificación axial y abierta. Participaron dos familias víctimas del conflicto armado, una del Chocó y otra de Santander: Los principales hallazgos indican que el conflicto generó en sus integrantes sentimientos de tristeza, temor desconfianza y pérdida de identidad como grupo, provocando el debilitamiento de las relaciones familiares, un cambio de roles y como consecuencia, el distanciamiento entre los integrantes; asimismo, las mujeres se empoderaron en su función como cabeza de familia, dando soporte emocional y económico, mostrando su resiliencia, emprendimiento y generosidad, lo que permitió la posterior recomposición de la familia.…”

Deterioration of the Internal Structure of Loess under Dry-Wet Cycles by Wanjun Ye, Yang Bai, Chenyang Cui, Xu Duan

“…The stress-strain curves of undisturbed loess samples at different cycling times vary under different compacted loess cycles. Under the same axial strain, the stress value of the undisturbed loess is higher than that of the loess sample after a dry-wet cycle, indicating that such cycle can reduce the strength of loess. …”

“Dancing Eye Syndrome” Secondary to Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome in Small-Cell Lung Cancer by S. Laroumagne, Xavier Elharrar, B. Coiffard, J. Plojoux, H. Dutau, D. Breen, P. Astoul

“…Among paraneoplastic neurologic disorders (PND), opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome, so-called “dancing eye syndrome,” is a rare disorder combining multivectorial eye movements, involuntary multifocal myoclonus, and cerebellar ataxia. Although several paraneoplastic antibodies against postsynaptic or cell-surface antigens have been reported, usually most patients are serum antibody negative. …”

Numerical study for the effect of angle between inner wall of Wehnelt electrode and its axis on beam dynamics in a thermionic electron gun by Hanyu Gao, Guoquan Ding, Xin Zhou, Dongbo Chang, Ying Tian, Mengxiang Dang

“…In this study, the COMSOL software is used to carry out finite element simulations; under temperature-limited emission conditions, the influence of changing α, which is the angle between the inner wall of the Wehnelt electrode and its central axis, on the beam is mainly analyzed. The results indicate that a change in α causes a variation in the potential on the axis and its first and second derivatives to the axial distance, which in turn causes changes in the beam current and emittance and the radius and position of the beam waist; however, it has no significant effect on the kinetic energy of the electrons. …”
