Simulation of Flow-Induced Vibration and Dynamic Performance of Circular-Arc Helical Gear Pump under Background of Machine Learning by Xiaoling Wei, Yongbao Feng, Xiaoxia Han, Zhenxin He

“…At present, with the continuous development and great improvement of mechanical manufacturing, processing, and assembly technology, mechanical flow-induced vibration (FIV) with a relatively concentrated frequency domain can be controlled by active and passive noise reduction methods. However, whether it is active noise reduction or passive noise reduction, they all focus on how to suppress the transmission of sound waves and cannot solve the problems of flow leakage, obvious temperature rise, and noise excitation from the root cause. …”

Be to, grammaticalisation et ambiguïté énonciative by Françoise Lachaux

“…As the title indicates, this paper addresses the issues of grammaticalization and ambiguity, and the relation between the two, in the case of the be to construction.As a verbal periphrasis devoid of any lexical element, only to be found in the simple present and simple preterite (*be to, *being to, *been to), and so very concise as to be labelled as “minimalist”, be to raises several challenging questions, concerning its alledged closeness to passive constructions (such as be supposed to / be expected to), and its superficial morphological similarity with have to.The apparent absence of any marks of involvement on the speaker’s part, together with the cognitive gap created by the lack of lexical basis, leave a vacuum on the semantic and pragmatic levels: could grammaticalization be linked with some strategy of concealment and implicit modality?…”
