Ámbitos de conflicto y repertorios de violencia en el Suroccidente Colombiano by Carlos Enrique Moreno León

“…Los repertorios de violencia son demostraciones coercitivas de los mecanismos políticos de los actores armados con el ánimo de hacerse al control territorial. No obstante, los actores armados emplean la violencia de una manera estratégica en la que, por un lado, evalúan el grado de frecuencia y diversidad que deben aplicar en cada territorio para subvertir la resistencia del enemigo y, por otro, tienen en cuenta si el territorio en el que se encuentran es una zona de alta confluencia de agentes militares (centro) o si es una zona en la que el encuentro de dos o más actores es relativamente baja (periferia). …”

Transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) due to precipitation during continuous tempering of quenched and tempered steels by Niki Nouri, Elena Hillenmeyer, Thanusan Thavarajan, Stefan Dietrich, Volker Schulze

“…In practice, many parts already contain residual stresses, for example due to the temperature gradients during surface hardening, and therefore tempering takes place under the influence of these stresses. …”

Optimizing UHPC Layers to Improve Punching Shear Performance in Concrete Slabs by Ahmed A. Hassoon, Rafea F. Hassan, Husam H. Hussein

“…UHPC has a higher tensile strength than NSC and, when appropriately reinforced with steel fibers, exhibits strain hardening after initial cracking. These properties make Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) ideal for durable, thin, low-cost bridge decking and heavily loaded elements and an excellent choice for improving slab–column connections that have experienced punched shear failure. …”

CMB Map Restoration by J. Bobin, J.-L. Starck, F. Sureau, J. Fadili

“…Foreground contamination is usually tackled by masking the most intense residuals detected in the map, which makes CMB evaluation harder to perform. In this paper, we introduce a novel noise reduction framework coined LIW-Filtering for Linear Iterative Wavelet Filtering which is able to account for the noise spatial variability thanks to a wavelet-based modeling while keeping the highly desired linearity of the Wiener filter. …”

Slurry and Technology Optimization for Grouting Fissures in Earthen Sites with Quicklime by Kai Cui, Fei Feng, Wen-wu Chen, Dong-hua Wang, Xiao-hai Wang

“…The acoustic wave, penetration resistance, and infrared thermal imaging results after fissure grouting were used to develop a preliminary explanation for the related mechanisms of slurry swelling, hardening, and lime pile compaction. The results showed that the combination of the preferred slurry and optimized grouting technology help address the problems of shrinkage differentiation on both sides of the fissure and need for multiple replenishments of the slurry after grouting.…”
