Rib Spalling 3D Model for Soft Coal Seam Faces with Large Mining Height in Protective Seam Mining: Theoretical and Numerical Analyses by Shuai Liu, Ke Yang, Tong Zhang, Chunan Tang

“…The key to limiting the frictional sliding of a slip body is to reduce the roof load and increase the sliding coefficient and cohesion of the main control weak surface (MCWS). Besides, a self-developed three-dimensional numerical calculation software RFPA3D (Realistic Fracture Process 3D Analysis), which considered the rock heterogeneity, was used to reproduce a weak triangular prism’s progressive failure process. …”

Une activité touristique et de loisir « amphibie » entre espaces de pratiques et territoires de gestion : la plaisance by Ewan Sonnic

“…This “amphibious” character confers on the pleasure sailing an atypical place among the tourist activities.In France, more than for other leisure, the pleasure sailing is quartered between reference spaces, (resulting essentially from the trajectories of the yachtsmen, navigation basins, cruising basins, pleasure sailing basins…), and of administrative territories concerned with a quite different logic on the ground (territorial collectivities, subdivisions of the maritime businesses) and at sea (territorial water, zone of exercise of police rights).Like many other “lived” spaces, the surfaces for practice of pleasure sailing are particularly complex. …”
