Velimir Chlebnikov in Italy, before Ripellino by Luca Cortesi

“…The purpose of this contribution is to present and discuss two Italian translations of two different prose works by Velimir Chlebnikov, published in 1934 and 1943 respectively, in a period prior to Ripellino’s translation, which is generally considered the starting point of the diffusion of Chlebnikov’s output in Italy. The brief analysis of these two translated texts aims to contribute to the reconstruction of the history of the reception of Chlebnikov’s works in Italy.…”

A Cause Analysis of the High-Content Nitrogen and Low-Content Hydrocarbon in Shale Gas: A Case Study of the Early Cambrian in Xiuwu Basin, Yangtze Region by Yizhou Huang, Kun Zhang, Zhenxue Jiang, Yan Song, Shu Jiang, Chengzao Jia, Weiwei Liu, Ming Wen, Xuelian Xie, Tianlin Liu, Xin Li, Xin Wang, Xiaoxue Liu, Ye Zhang, Ling Tang

“…The bedding planes and the detachment layer at the bottom of the lower Cambrian compose the lateral pathways, and the widespread deep faults are the vertical pathways for shale gas migration and diffusion. Combining these two, an effective pathway network was built, favorable to gas exchange between the shale gas interval and the atmosphere, partly leading to the concentration of nitrogen and the diffusion of hydrocarbon gas. …”
