Analysis of mechanical properties and energy evolution mechanism of frozen calcareous clay under multi-factor interaction by Jihao Feng, Hao Shi, Chuanxin Rong, Lei Song, Wei Long, Jianpeng Liu, Di Wei, Gangjian An

“…When the temperature remains constant, peak volumetric strain is negatively correlated with dry density but positively correlated with confining pressure. (3) Input energy density, elastic strain energy density, and dissipated energy density of frozen calcareous clay all increase with axial strain. (4) When temperature is held constant, both peak input energy density and peak dissipated energy density rise with increasing confining pressure. …”

On the square-root approximation finite volume scheme for nonlinear drift-diffusion equations by Cancès, Clément, Venel, Juliette

“…We show that the scheme admits a unique discrete solution, that the natural bounds on the solution are preserved, and that it encodes the second principle of thermodynamics in the sense that some free energy is dissipated along time. The convergence of the scheme is then rigorously established thanks to compactness arguments. …”

Characterisation of Structure-Borne Sound Source Using Reception Plate Method by A. Putra, N. F. Saari, H. Bakri, R. Ramlan, R. M. Dan

“…The method uses the assumption that the input power from the source installed on the plate is equal to the power dissipated by the plate. In this experiment, rectangular plates having high and low mobility relative to that of the source were used as the reception plates and a small electric fan motor was acting as the structure-borne source. …”

Hydrodynamic calculation of wedge-shaped system «slider-guide» operating on compressible lubricant in presence of melt on surface of guide by K. S. Akhverdiev, E. A. Bolgovа, E. O. Lagunova, S. V. Kumanin

“…In the article on the basis of the equation of motion of the compressible lubricant for the «thin layer», continuity, state, and the equation describing the profile of the molten contour taking into account the formula of mechanical energy dissipation the asymptotic and self-similar solution is found for the extreme (when the speed tends to infinity) and non-extreme case. …”

Mechanical Properties and Control Rockburst Mechanism of Coal and Rock Mass with Bursting Liability in Deep Mining by Ming-tao Gao, Zhen-qi Song, Hui-qiang Duan, Heng-qi Xin, Jian-quan Tang

“…Therefore, the greater the support strength provided to the surrounding rock surface of the roadway, the smaller the failure degree of rockburst. (3) With the increase of confining pressure, after peak strength, the elastic energy of coal specimens decreases slowly, and the dissipated energy increases slowly, indicating that the increase of confining pressure can effectively limit the energy dissipation and release after coal specimen failure. …”

Racismo de Estado e eugenia sob a égide neoliberal by Robson de Oliveira

“…Para isso, vamos nos valer do escopo teórico formulado por Foucault sobre Biopolítica, bem como de autores brasileiros que nos ajudam a formular hipóteses sobre a história da eugenia no Brasil. Por meio disso, entende-se que a plasticidade da eugenia se adapta à atualidade do neoliberalismo como dispositivo de imunização do mercado, de reorganização da concorrência, de estabelecimento de um “ambiente de negócios”, cuja competitividade não precisa eliminar os mais fracos, pois disso cuida a Covid-19, à medida que ela participa da norma “eugênica” brasileira da erradicação de formas de vida consideradas disgênicas, radicalizada durante a pandemia. …”
