Difference Analysis of Wave Disaster Characteristics Induced by Landslides of Different Water Entry Scales by WANG Lei, XIE Mingli, HUANG Huibao, KE Hu, GAO Qiang

“…This paper conducts a three-dimensional numerical analysis on the surges generated by landslides of different water entry scales,and analyzes the characteristics of surge disasters induced by landslides of different water entry scales, such as surge height, surge speed,and bank climbing height.Meanwhile,the impact of surges caused by landslides of different water entry scales on the dam is explored.The FLOW-3D numerical simulation method is employed to simulate and analyze the entire process of landslide instability,surge formation and propagation,surge climbing,and surge backflow.The results show that the maximum climbing height of the surge generated by the 3.1 million m³ landslide of water entry is 54.5 m on the opposite bank,and the surge height in front of the dam is 6.69 m.The surge has a small area of overflow at the right bank dam shoulder.The surge generated by the 0.8 million m³ landslide of water entry has a maximum climbing height of 26.00 m on the opposite bank,and the surge height in front of the dam is 5.38 m,without influence exerted by the surge on the dam safety.The results indicate that the induced surge caused by 3.1×10⁶ m³ landslide of water entry is more catastrophic than that brought by 0.8×10⁶ m³ landslide of water entry.…”

Passages de frontières. Le voyage de la jeune mariée dans la haute noblesse des temps modernes (XVe-XVIIIe siècle) by Christiane Coester

“…While French historians have tended to focus on the nuptial trips of the Spanish infantes to the Kingdom of France as well as that of Marie-Antoinette in 1770, such trips to the residence of the future spouse were common in Europe from the 15th to the 18th century. Only one normative text describing such trips exists (that of Diomeda Carafa, De institutione vivendi, 1476), but numerous other sources shed light on these one-way trips (correspondences, travel memoirs, newspapers, brochures, princely account books). …”

Standardisation of prof by investigating judges when exercising their powers to consider requests for permission to conduct procedural actions by R. M. Balats

“…The function of judicial control finds its practical implementation through the formal existence of a certain range of powers of the investigating judge and through their exercise during criminal proceedings; 2) the consideration of requests for permission to conduct procedural actions is a type of powers of the investigating judge aimed at exercising the function of judicial control over the observance of the rights, freedoms and interests of persons in criminal proceedings; 3) the consideration of requests for permission to conduct procedural actions is carried out in the form of evidence, which is standardised by the legislator; 4) standards of proof are a set of rules that must be followed by the subject of criminal proceedings and ensure that he or she has the level of conviction necessary to make a lawful and reasonable decision; 5) when considering requests for procedural actions (depending on the type of procedural action), the investigating judge must be guided by the following standards of proof: reasonable grounds, reasonable suspicion; beyond reasonable doubt; 6) the guidelines for the application of the “beyond reasonable doubt” standard by the investigating judge when deciding on the choice of preventive measures are not directly provided for by law, but follow from the nature and objectives of this procedure.…”
