To Read or Not to Read Dickens in the Twenty-First Century: What If He Needed to Be Read Twice?, by Nathalie Jaëck

“…I will of course concentrate on the ‘strange case’ of Charles Dickens, a case of ‘impure,’ or ‘self-dissolving’ Realism: in his fundamentally dual, self-contradicting novels, Dickens manages to build the most solid, coherent, incontestable texts, while he also develops, within the novels themselves, a dissident counterproposal, an intimate deconstruction. …”

Analytical and Numerical Study of the Ground Pressure of the Work Face Crossing the Fault by Yanan Gao, Yudong Zhang, Donghao Lan, Feng Gao

“…It can therefore be concluded that, for the forward direction fault, the effect of the searching tunnel to decrease the contact pressure and dissipate the energy is limited; on the contrary, it will aggravate the fragmentation degree and make the support more difficult, while, for the reverse direction fault, the excavation of searching tunnel can not only provide a better understanding of the characters of the fault but also have a positive effect on the ground control.…”
