Analysis of Fouling Pattern of Tunnel Drainage Pipe in Karst Areas by Jianbing Lv, Hao Wu, Jia Li, Xiaodong Wan, Helin Fu

“…In this paper, we consider the force situation of crystalline solids in the pipe by water flow, analyze the related theories, comprehensively study the migration and deposition law of crystalline particles in the drainage pipe, and establish a numerical simulation model of the pipe crystallization rate considering temperature, flow velocity and concentration of sediment particles based on ANSYS FLUENT software, and refine and analyze several parameters in the model, so that it can provide a theoretical analysis framework for the tunnel drainage pipe blockage in karst areas by providing a theoretical analysis framework.…”

EL GÉNERO DE LA RAZA: FANON, LECTOR DE BEAUVOIR1,2 by Matthieu Renault

“…Piel negra, máscaras blancas de Frantz Fanon y El Segundo Sexo de Simone de Beauvoir presentan numerosas afinidades teóricas y críticas provenientes de apropiaciones y traducciones que ambas obras operativizaron con la dialéctica hegeliana del amo y el esclavo, con vistas a la aprehensión conceptual de las relaciones de género (hombre/mujer) y de raza (blanco/negro). Desde este punto de partida, se entabla un amplio diálogo en torno a las cuestiones del cuerpo (generizado, racializado), el amor y la violencia. …”

Physical and Socioeconomic Driving Forces of Land-Use and Land-Cover Changes: A Case Study of Wuhan City, China by Xiangmei Li, Ying Wang, Jiangfeng Li, Bin Lei

“…To investigate precise nexus between land-use and land-cover changes (LUCC) and driving factors for rational urban management, we used remotely sensed images to map land use and land cover (LULC) from 1990 to 2010 for four time periods using Wuhan city, China, as a case study. Partial least squares (PLS) method was applied to analyze the relationships between LUCC and the driving factors, mainly focusing on three types of LULC, that is, arable land, built-up area, and water area. …”
