Method for synthesizing a logic element that implements several functions simultaneously by S. I. Sovetov, S. F. Tyurin

“…The basic element of a field-programmable gate array is a lookup table (LUT). While in canonical normal form LUTs generally implement only one logical function for a given configuration, in this case, there is always an inactive pass transistor element. …”

In-Line and Cross-Flow Coupling Vibration Response Characteristics of a Marine Viscoelastic Riser Subjected to Two-Phase Internal Flow by Xueping Chang, Jinming Fan, Wenwu Yang, Yinghui Li

“…The finite element method is adopted to directly solve the highly coupled nonlinear fluid-structure interaction equations. Model validations are firstly performed through comparisons with the published experimental data and numerical simulation results, and the characteristic curves of the in-line and cross-flow vibration pattern, the in-line and cross-flow displacement trajectories, the in-line and cross-flow space-time response of displacement, and the in-line and cross-flow space-time response of stress versus different parameters are obtained, respectively. …”

Trujillo y la ciudad, civitas diaboli by Omar Rancier

“…Rafael Trujillo, producto de la intervención norteamericana en la República Dominicana en 1916, se hace con el poder en 1930 y a los 15 días de asumirlo, la ciudad de Santo Domingo es destrozada por el ciclón de San Zenón, coyuntura aprovechada por Trujillo para, a través de la reconstrucción de la ciudad, afianzarse como gobernante, para luego a los seis años de gobierno, en 1936, cambiarle el nombre cuatricentenario de la ciudad de Santo Domingo por el de Ciudad Trujillo, iniciando así un proceso de estrategias de resemantización que permiten consolidar el poder y al mismo tiempo encarnar la ciudad y el territorio dominicano durante 31 años. …”
