Shear Behaviors of the Intersurface between Rice Straw Rope and Dredger Fill Silt: Experimental and Mechanism Studies by Guizhong Xu, Ji Chen, Shenjie Shi, Angran Tian, Qiang Tang

“…The further development of land reclamation, port waterway, and wharf construction brings about proper treatments of dredger fill silt, while huge amounts of rice straw set aside in China argument rational disposal every year. Therefore, rice straw is bundled up as ropes, which represent as drainage body and reinforcement, to make eco-friendly treatment for dredger fill silt. …”

Dependence on Humidity and Aerosol Composition of the Gas-particle Partitioning of Weakly and Moderately Polar VOCs by Jeonghyeon Ahn, Guiying Rao, Eric P. Vejerano

“…At increasing RH levels, both VOCs partitioning onto in/organic aerosol particles exhibited similar behavior (exponential) consistent to those observed for 1,2-dichlorobenzene, therefore, insensitive to the polarity. However, at a similar RH level, polarity affects the mass fraction of the VOCs that sorbed onto the aerosol particles.…”

Automatic prediction for IP backbone network traffic by Xuan WEI, Ke RUAN, Xiaoying HUANG, Xun CHEN, Cancan HUANG

“…Efficient and reliable network traffic prediction is the basis of network planning and capacity expansion construction.Currently,there is no integral theoretical model to describe internet traffic.Most of the industry designs simplified and operable prediction models.Firstly,according to the characteristics of China Telecom’s IP backbone network traffic and its planning requirements,the IP backbone network traffic was analyzed and forecasted by using the multi-factor regression model and the function adaptive mode of time series.The characteristics,advantages,disadvantages and applicable scenarios of these two models were compared based on simulation of a large number of actual network data.A set of principles and methods for selecting prediction model and optimizing parameters were proposed.Then,an automatic forecasting system with the high performance of dealing with hundreds of time series was built to greatly simplify and improve the traffic prediction efficiency.Finally,the development orientation of network capacity extension and key points of future IP traffic prediction were prospected.…”

From disagreement to rupture: the Soviet-Albanian conflict of 1960-1961 by K. K. Khudoley

“…Key findings include: 1) The conflict's primary catalysts were the divergent socialist models adopted by the USSR and Albania, coupled with the disparity in interests between the superpower and the bloc's smallest member; 2) The PLA's reluctance to conform to Soviet-style reforms was construed in Moscow as a challenge to the CPSU's hegemony within the global communist movement, while the PLA leadership viewed them as encroachments on its authority; 3) Disagreements pervaded all spheres, with ideology assuming heightened significance compared to conflicts with Yugoslavia; 4) External influences on the conflict's trajectory were marginal, with developments driven by internal dynamics, including Tirana's increasing alienation from the CPSU and the catalytic effect of deteriorating Soviet-Chinese relations; Western powers monitored events closely but refrained from direct intervention; 5) While objective factors underpinned the Soviet-Albanian discord, subjective elements were of secondary importance, yet pivotal in precipitating the conflict's acrimonious turn.…”
