Catecismos republicanos en España (1850-1874). Religión civil y propaganda democrática por preguntas y respuestas by Hernán Rodríguez Vargas

“…In the second moment, it is proposed to analyze the content of the catechisms and answer the question about how, by placing the emphasis on the Republic, it was sought to establish a new civil religion, whose aim was the affirmation of important reforms of a democratic nature and whose eschatological end was "the salvation of the people", thus inverting the order of what had hitherto been the fundamental pillars of political life in Spain since the Ferdinand restoration in 1814, namely the alliance between the Monarchy and the Church.…”

Neural plasticity in early potters: Shape analysis and TMS-EEG co-registration trace the rise of a new motor skill. by Vanessa Forte, Luisa Sartori, Antonino Visalli, Mustafa Yildirim, Gaspare Galati, Massimo Vidale, Emanuela Faresin, Antonino Vallesi

“…Coiling, one of the most widespread neolithic techniques, requires precise hand movements and the ability to regulate finger pressure to shape the clay without deformation. In a pilot study involving intensive training in neolithic pottery, we used TMS-EEG co-registration to monitor a group of participants and we examined the shape of the artefacts they made before and after training. …”

Numerical Simulation of Transient Unloading Response Mechanism of Deep Tunnel Excavation with Single Joint by ZENG Yong, CHANG Yan, HU Rong, ZHAO Kangding

“…Using particle flow numerical simulation to reproduce the transient unloading process of a deep buried single joint tunnel, this study explores the influence of crack characteristics on the transient unloading effect of the access tunnel of Shuangjiangkou Hydropower Station from multiple perspectives such as stress state, deformation characteristics and crack propagation. The study shows that the cracks have an important impact on the stress adjustment process of transient unloading in deep buried tunnels, and the stress concentration area will be transferred from the bottom corner of the chamber and the arch to the tip of the crack. …”

Enhanced fault detection in zig-zag transformers: Insights from dissolved gas analysis and transient current analysis by Ricardo Manuel Arias Velásquez, Renato Fabricio Arias Velásquez

“…The analysis of transient currents during faults indicated internal short circuits, leading to substantial mechanical and thermal damage, including core misalignment and tank deformation. The efficiency increases from 85.71 % in the detection with DGA to 91.43 % based on the combined analysis for DGA, comtrade and overcurrent analysis in the complete fleet.…”

Research on the Mechanical Properties of a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer-Steel Combined Truss Structure by Pengfei Liu, Qilin Zhao, Fei Li, Jinchun Liu, Haosen Chen

“…The study shows that the design and fabrication for the node of an assembled truss panel are convenient, safe, and reliable; because of the creep control design of the rods, not only does the short-term structural stiffness meet the design requirement but also the long-term creep deformation tends towards stability. In addition, no significant change is found in the elastic modules, so this structure can be applied in actual engineering. …”
