Pounding Dynamic Responses of Sliding Base-Isolated Rectangular Liquid-Storage Structure considering Soil-Structure Interactions by Xuansheng Cheng, Wei Jing, Jia Chen, Xiaoyan Zhang

“…The soil-structure interaction (SSI) is simulated by an artificial boundary, the pounding that occurs between the sliding base-isolated rectangular liquid-storage structure (LSS) and the surrounding moat wall is considered, the instantaneous pounding is simulated using the Hertz-damp model, and a simplified mechanical model with two particles and four degrees of freedom is established. Dynamic equation is obtained using Hamilton principle; effects of SSI, initial gap, and friction coefficient on the pounding responses under the action of near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied. …”

Anti-immigration Agenda of Populist Parties in Switzerland by E. P. Shavlay, M. I. Sigachev, E. S. Sleptsov

“…The authors argue that the phenomenon of Swiss populism should be considered in a broader context, in connection with which attention is paid not only to the Swiss people's party, the Ticino League and the Geneva citizens ' Movement, but also to the populist parties of countries belonging to the Alpine macroregion – the Austrian freedom party (Austria) and the League (Italy). A discursive analysis of the programs shows that the anti-immigrant program is an essential part of the identity of right-wing populists. …”

Epizootic situation on sheep pox and goat pox in Tajikistan in 2000–2021 by R. Atovullozoda

“…Based on systemic epidemiological analysis of the structure and dynamics of nosoareals, as well as risk assessment of sheep pox and goat pox entry, emergence and distribution, monitoring and establishment of infected and endemic zones, the features and patterns of distribution and occurrence of these diseases’ epizootic process were defined, which confirms the need for a systematic approach to epidemiological surveillance of highly dangerous and economically significant infectious diseases having a trend for transboundary spread, which will facilitate the solution of the problem regarding identification of possible threats and the implementation of veterinary and sanitary measures in case of disease occurrence in the territory of any country to ensure animal disease freedom.…”

Constraints on Primordial Black Holes from Neff: Scalar-induced Gravitational Waves as an Extra Radiation Component by Jing-Zhi Zhou, Yu-Ting Kuang, Zhe Chang, H. Lü

“…These SIGWs can serve as an additional radiation component, influencing the relativistic degrees of freedom N _eff . Taking into account primordial non-Gaussianity, we study the energy density spectrum of SIGWs up to the third order and use the current observational data of N _eff to constrain small-scale primordial curvature perturbations and the abundance of PBHs.…”
