Overcoming the “Coloniality of Doing” in International Law: Soft Law as a Decolonial Tool by Tatiana Cardoso Squeff

“…The case of international law is even harder due to the limits of its positivist normative structure, formulated not only by countries that hold military/economic power in the international arena, but also in a modern/colonial historical moment that has guaranteed their legitimacy for more than five centuries, which makes it extremely difficult to have rules that contemplate the desires of the Third World. …”

Restoration of Load-Bearing Structures of Buildings after Accidents by O. A. Simakov

“…In accordance with the current regulatory documents, the calculation for a special limit state is carried out with reduced coefficients for loads and taking into account the dynamic hardening for the design resistance of materials. After an emergency impact, it is necessary to perform a calculation for limit states taking into account all reliability factors, which usually leads to a deficit in the bearing capacity of a significant number of load-bearing structures taking into account the damage to individual structures and the redistribution of forces to others that are not damaged. …”

Mechanical Behaviour of Polymer Matrix Composite Reinforced by Silicon Carbide Particles by Muna Noori Ismael, Hazim F. Hassan

“…SiC particles were utilized as reinforcement with the epoxy with hardener according to the mixing of (3:1) ratio. The experimental results found that hardness, flexural strength and impact strength can be increased by increasing the weight percentage of Silicon carbide, while tensile strength is decreased with an increased weight fraction of silicon carbide.  …”

La participación en Quito. Miradas plurales de Víctor Hugo Torres, Viviana Maldonado, Inés Martínez y Lola Vásquez by Karina Gallegos Pérez

“… Con la implantación del Sistema de Gestión Participativa (SGP) en Quito se inicia una nueva etapa en las relaciones municipio-comunidad. El SGP debió haberse convertido en la principal herramienta política de la actual gestión; sin embargo, la propuesta ha sido descuidada desde los más altos niveles del gobierno local y su difusión a través de los medios de comunicación ha sido incipiente. …”

Mechanistic Study of Rail Gouging during Hypersonic Rocket Sled Tests by Xuewen Zhou, Huadong Yan, Cheng Chen, Yuanfeng Yu

“…The results showed the following. (1) Adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) form when stress reduction under the combined action of frictional heating and high-speed deformation exceeds the strain-hardening effect of the rail material. (2) The nonuniform deformation of the edges of ASBs leads to the generation of cracks that split the rail surface. …”
