CO2lonialismo y geografías de esperanza by Julianne Hazlewood

“…A través de la exposición detallada de la deuda ecológica del Norte global con el Sur global, este artículo condena discursos y acciones que se enfocan en el mejoramiento del clima económico mientras arrasan los bosques húmedos, las prácticas culturales de vida de las comunidades y las soluciones reales al cambio climático.This paper takes us beyond the present economic crisis to where global warming warns of a much more profound problem: a structural flaw in capitalism. Theoretically linking relations between climate change, colonialism, and capitalism, San Lorenzo is investigated as an agricultural frontier where “CO2lonialism” unfolds in African oil palm cultivation and agrofuel production. …”

Numerical study of the plasticity effect on the behavior of short steel columns filled with concrete loaded axially by Yousria Boulmaali-Hacene Chaouche, Nadia Kouider, Kamel Djeghaba, Bachir Kebaili

“…The compressive behavior, including ultimate loads, confinement, load-deflection relationship and failure modes, was obtained from numerical models and compared with experimental and theoretical results based on Eurocode 4. All these results showed a good agreement and a satisfactory correlation, allowing us to assume that a correct modelling can be sufficient to simulate the behavior of CFST. …”

About oxide dispersion particles chemical compatibility with areas coherent dissipation/sub-grains of bcc-alloys in Fe - (Cr, V, Mo, W) systems by Udovsky A., Fabrichnaya O.

“…It has been shown theoretically that anisotropy of spin- density in bcc lattice Fe and DF in binary Fe - (Cr, V, Mo, W) systems is main factor for origins of segregations on small angle boundaries of ACD and sub-grains boundaries To prevent the coagulation of both ACD and sub-grains, and to increase the strength of alloys, it is advisable to add oxide dispersion particles into ferrite steel taking into account their chemical compatibility and coherent interfacing with the crystalline lattice of a ferrite matrix. …”

Study on Permeability of Soil-Rock Mixture in Water-Blocking Layer of Open-Pit Coal Mine Dump Site by Boyu Luan, Wei Zhou, Xin Meng, Xiang Lu, Zhichao Liu

“…In this study, the soil-rock mixture samples similar to the water-blocking layer were prepared, and the rock block proportion (RBP) and hydraulic pressure were adopted as test variables to conduct a permeability test, which provided theoretical support for on-site construction. The results show that when the hydraulic pressure is less than the confining pressure, the permeability increases at a steady rate as the rock block proportion increases. …”

Public key cryptographic algorithm SM2 optimized implementation on low power embedded platform by Ganqin LIU, Hui LI, Hui ZHU, Yukun HUANG, Xingdong LIU

“…With the development of wireless communication technology and the popularization of intelligent terminals, more and more cryptographic algorithms are applied to IoT devices to ensure the security of communication and data.Among them, the SM2 elliptic curve public key cryptography proposed by the State Cryptography Administration is an elliptic curve public key cryptography algorithm developed domestically, which has the advantages of high security and short key.SM2 has been widely deployed in various communication systems and is used in essential parts such as identity authentication and key negotiation.However, since SM2 involves large integer operations on finite fields, the computational cost is high, and its execution on a low-power embedded platform seriously affects the user experience.Therefore, an efficient implementation scheme of SM2 algorithm for low-power embedded platform was proposed for ARM-m series processors.Specifically, Thumb-2 instruction set was adopted to handle carry and save addressing cycles, basic operations such as modulo addition and sub-traction of large integers were optimized, and the number of available registers on the platform was combined to build efficient basic operations.Besides, based on the short multiplication and accumulation instruction cycle of ARM-m series processors, the implementation of Montgomery multiplication was optimized, and an efficient modular multiplication scheme was designed in combination with the CIOS algorithm.The scheme was no longer limited to Mersenne primes, and greatly improved the speed and flexibility of modular multiplication.Based on the theoretical analysis and experimental test, the window length selection method of the multiple point-scalar multiplication wNAF sliding window method on the embedded platform was given.The experimental test results show that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the computational efficiency of the SM2 algorithm on the resource-constrained low-power embedded platform.Without pre-calculation, the test signature speed can reach 0.204s/time, the signature verification speed is 0.388s/time, the encryption speed is 0.415s/time, and the decryption speed is 0.197s/time.…”
