Performance Analysis of Prefabricated Steel-Spring Floating-Slab Track and Its Application to Urban Express Rail Transit by Xudong Huang, Ping Li, Xinwei Luo, Liang Ling, Abdulmumin Ahmed Shuaibu, Zhiping Zeng

“…As thickness increases, vertical displacement of the rail increases slightly, and lateral stability increases, thereby slightly improving the vehicle’s running stability. (3) When the intercity electric multiple-unit train travels along the prefabricated steel-spring floating-slab-track bed at different speeds, the wheel-axle lateral force, wheel-rail vertical force, the derailment coefficient, the wheel-weight reduction rate, and the lateral acceleration of the vehicle body are all less than the specified limits of Chinese code, thus fully meeting the safety requirements of train operation. (4) Appropriately increasing the vertical-support damping of the floating slab can improve the vehicle’s vertical dynamic performance, reduce the vertical displacement of the rail, and lower the vibration response of the floating slab. (5) Adding side-mounted vibration isolators at the joint of the floating slab could greatly improve the stability of the floating slab itself and appropriately reduce the vehicle’s vertical vibration response. …”

Risas y sucesión presidencial. El uso político del sentido del humor en las protestas sociales en Guatemala. 2023–2024 by Jose Domingo Carrillo Padilla

“…Usar estrategias divertidas que cohesionaron a distintos sectores sociales en defensa del voto ciudadano, fue posible de advertir en las expresiones ciudadanas de inconformidad en redes sociales por medio de memes, chistes, imágenes, con acciones colectivas como bloqueos y marchas en respuesta a las acciones fraudulentas emprendidas por el ministerio público. Analizar nuevas formas de acción social que resistieron y rechazaron los intentos de regresión autoritaria contribuye a conocer la construcción de proyectos sociales en el país. …”

PAUD is My Second Child: How Early Childhood in Indonesia Strives to Develop by Heny Solekhah

“…The research found that despite the different reasons for being PAUD teachers, they established (ECE) from ‘zero’ and put their schools as a priority over themselves; being proactive and communicative the only ways to develop both their professionalism and institutions; Dana Desa and Dana Kelurahan are two desired financial resources; and they hope that the government could raise their status from non-formal educators to be formal and bring equality. …”

T lymphocytes induce human cancer cells derived from solid malignant tumors to secrete galectin-9 which facilitates immunosuppression in cooperation with other immune checkpoint pr... by Stephanie Schlichtner, Inna M Yasinska, Gurprit S Lall, Steffen M Berger, Sabrina Ruggiero, Dietmar Cholewa, Nijas Aliu, Bernhard F Gibbs, Elizaveta Fasler-Kan, Vadim V Sumbayev

“…Our aims were to elucidate whether T cells can induce galectin-9 secretion in human cancer cells derived from solid malignant tumors and whether this soluble form displays higher systemic immunosuppressive activity compared with the cell surface-based protein.Methods A wide range of human cancer cell lines derived from solid tumours, keratinocytes and primary embryonic cells were employed, together with helper and cytotoxic T cell lines and human as well as mouse primary T cells. …”

Nonperturbative and Thermal Dynamics of Confined Fields in Dual QCD by H. C. Chandola, Deependra Singh Rawat, Dinesh Yadav, H. C. Pandey, H. Dehnen

“…The possible annihilation/unification of flux tubes under some typical flux tube density and temperature conditions in the magnetic symmetry broken phase of QCD has also been analyzed and shown to play an important role in the process of QGP formation. The thermal variation of the profiles of the color electic field is further investigated which indicates the survival of flux tubes even in the thermal domain that leads the possibility of the formation of some exotic states like QGP in the intermediate regime during the quark-hadron phase transition.…”
