Cultural information dynamics and the rise of women in Norway’s state and military by Chris Girard

“…Accordingly, women’s exclusion from warfare and politics in agrarian-era Norway coevolved with three interconnected constraints: oral communication, dependence on musculoskeletal energy, and the spatial limitations of person-to-person contact. The contemporary relaxation of such constraints is investigated using two centuries of data culled from Norway’s statistical yearbooks. …”

Evaluating the Influence of Drying Shrinkage on Cracking Resistance of Massive Self-Compacting Concrete with Blast Furnace Slag Using Finite Element Method by Benson Kipkemboi, Shingo Miyazawa

“…The value of the reduction coefficient for Young’s modulus of elasticity was proposed to consider the effect of stress relaxation due to creep in concrete. By using the proposed value of the reduction coefficient, thermal stress analysis was performed on a 1 m thick massive concrete wall member, and the cracking resistance of self-compacting concrete with different replacement ratios of blast furnace slag is discussed. …”

Study on torsional vibration characteristics of compressor flexible rotors considering contact clearance by HUANG Zhiqiang, WANG Jie, LI Tao, LI Gang, WANG Shuo, MU Dequan

“…The torsional vibration of reciprocating compressor crankshaft system can cause major problems such as burnt bearings and shaft fracture.In order to understand the torsional vibration response of the compressor rotor system, a torsional vibration mechanics solution method for the flexible rotor system of the compressor considering the bushing-pin collision clearance and the oil film clearance of the crankshaft-bearing was proposed, which provided a new idea and method to avoid the natural frequency of the crankshaft system.Based on the multi-body dynamics and Hertz contact theory，the torsional dynamic response of the crankshaft system with collision clearance was solved.The results show that the torsional vibration amplitude of the 4th column crank pin is the largest, the torsional angular displacement amplitude is 0.051°, and the dynamic angular velocity peak value is 156.026 rad/s.Based on this, the crankshaft-bearing oil film clearance was considered, the oil film pressure of sliding bearings was calculated by the finite difference method and the over-relaxation iterative method, and the dynamic characteristic coefficients of bearings were solved according to pressure perturbation method.The effects of the bushing-pin collision clearance and the crankshaft-bearing oil film clearance on the dynamic response of the crankshaft system were comprehensively considered in the modal analysis of the crankshaft system under preload.The resonance of the crankshaft with and without oil film clearances was compared. …”

Return Mode Selection and Pricing Strategy for a Dual-Channel Retailer by Xiaojian Hu, Shuai Feng, Jiqiong Liu, Aifeng Yang, Guanxiong Wang, Hui Xu

“…This paper studies the pricing strategies of an integrated dual-channel retailer (DCR) when it provides return policies to customers, including original channel return, fixed cross-channel return, and relaxed cross-channel return. The relationship between the DCR’s system performance and channel pricing is impacted by customer channel preferences, and the return rates of different channels are discussed. …”
