Speech Characteristics of Servants in Italian Comedies of 16^th Century: on Parameters of Language Variability by L. I. Zholudeva

“…It is concluded that the main contribution to the creation of the speech portrait of servants is made by the phenomena marked in the diaphasia - linguistic means, the pragmatic function of which prevails over denotative and / or structural. The research continues the cycle of the author’s works devoted to the Italian language of the 16th century and the role of various parameters of language variability in the historical evolution of the Italian language norm.…”

Modélisation heuristique de la criticité des basses eaux en région méditerranéenne by Ingrid Canovas, Philippe Martin, Sophie Sauvagnargues

“…In France, the area subject to the Mediterranean climate is particularly concerned by the water availability issue during summertime, because it is a hot and sparsely watered area and because it attracts more temporary and permanent people every year. Thus, one can wonder how the risk of water scarcity is structured and how the evolution of its components can lead to a critical situation, in which the system’s state generating the risk can be changed. …”

A protocol and analysis of year-long simulations of global storm-resolving models and beyond by Daisuke Takasuka, Masaki Satoh, Tomoki Miyakawa, Chihiro Kodama, Daniel Klocke, Bjorn Stevens, Pier Luigi Vidale, Christopher R. Terai

“…Through the proposed global storm-resolving simulation, we will evaluate the climatological distributions of the atmospheric large-scale circulations, such as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), monsoon, midlatitude jets, their time evolution, and the upscale impacts on them. We present sample analyses from a one-year simulation using the 3.5 km mesh Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM), revealing the realistic zonal contrast of tropical precipitation, no double ITCZ structure, the reasonable midlatitude jet position and intensity but a weak bias of storm track activities, and a warm bias over the Eurasia during boreal winter. …”

Optimization of grouting reinforcement performance of superfine sulfoaluminate cement composite system by Pengfei WANG, Pengyun YAN, Mingxuan ZHANG

“…By combining macro performance test and micro structure characterization, the development of slurry fluidity, coagulation and hardening characteristics and mechanical strength were comprehensively evaluated, and the evolution of hydration products and performance regulation mechanisms were revealed through XRD, SEM and other analytical means, and the optimization effect of the materials was finally verified through the downhole grouting project.The experimental results show that: ① The type of water-reducing agent has a significant role in regulating the performance of the material: when the dosage of PCE is 0.6%, the 28 d compressive strength of the grouting material is the highest and shows a continuous growth trend, with the highest increase of 20.27%; while the strength inflection point of FDN occurs when the dosage of FDN is 0.3%, and the excessive dosage (>0.6%) leads to the decrease of strength. …”
