One Hundred Years of National Capital-Making: The Case of Bratislava, Slovakia by Buček Ján, Plešivčák Martin, Bačík Vladimír

“…We argue that Bratislava has already concentrated the majority of political and cultural centre functions of the state capital, despite historical turbulences and accompanying constraints. We identify their location patterns and illustrate their impact on the urban physical development of the city.…”

Verification and Validation of CFD analysis for 1/7th scale model of APR1400 for CVAP by Giwon La, Kunwoo Yi, Doyoung Ko, Kyuhyung Kim

“…In this study, CFD is used to calculate the local velocity and flow distribution to generate the forcing functions caused by turbulent flow for analysis programs in the CVAP. The Verification &Validation (V&V) procedure recommended by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is performed to verify the accuracy of CFD based on reliability, and it is compared with tests on a scale model. …”

Pomodori e pesticidi. (In)giustizia alimentare, sanitaria e ambientale nelle Regioni ultraperiferiche: il caso di Mayotte by Paola Schierano

“…Historically known as the “garden” of the Comoro Islands, Mayotte is the only island of the Comoro archipelago to have rejected independence, preferring to it a full – albeit turbulent – integration to France. Because of its relative richness, Mayotte represents nowadays the main destination of illegal immigration in the South-West Indian Ocean. …”

Analysis of Thermal-stress Coupling Characteristics of Peripheral Disc Brakes by Shi Kang, Su Xuwu, Wu Yanyan, Xia Hailong

“…Based on the three-dimensional model established by SolidWorks and with the help of the finite element analysis software Ansys Workbench, the thermal-stress coupling of the peripheral disc brake is established, the continuous braking and turbulent road braking of the car are set as working conditions, the equivalent elastic strain, stress and temperature rise are analyzed and the mapping relationship between the above is explored. …”

From a Habit to a Husband by Danson Sylvester Kahyana

“…Data is collected through a close reading of the play under analysis, within the socio-political context in which it was written and produced, that is, the politically turbulent decade following Uganda's flag independence in 1962, characterised "among others" by events like the abolition of kingdoms by the Prime Minister, Milton Obote, and his ouster in a military coup by his army commander, General Idi Amin, on 25 January, 1971. …”

Theology Before and After Bishop Robinson’s Honest to God (1963)

“… Bishop John Robinson’s Honest to God (1963) may be judged as a bombshell that blew the roof off the church, not because it introduced original thinking, but because it brought to unsuspecting people in the pews some knowledge of the developments that had been taking place for quite some time in academic theology. It initiated the turbulent sixties from which time onwards the slow decline in church allegiance began to accelerate in the Western world. …”

Research on Flow Regime Hydraulics of Sluice-Passing Flows in Reconstruction Design of Large Sluice in Meandering River Channels by ZHANG Zhouwen

“…Large sluices in meandering river channels have large sluice-passing flow rates and turbulent flow regimes during floods,and downstream energy dissipaters of the sluice cannot be easily repaired once they are damaged by erosion.Taking the reconstruction of the Jimei Sluice as a research project,this paper tries to solve the problem that how to make the reconstructed sluice avoid the large scour pit that has a size of 50 000 m² and a maximum depth of 23 m and is formed by the erosion of current downstream stilling pools.In addition,the paper uses the technical route of changing the layout of the sluice opening and the angle between the sluice axis and the river channel centerline and establishes a two-dimensional hydrodynamic mathematical model to analyze the water level,sluice-passing flow regimes,and erosion.The results of the comparison find that the angle between the sluice axis and the river channel centerline is 88° (rotating counterclockwise by 2°),and the full-depth sluice scheme is suitable.The research ideas and methods can provide a reference for similar projects.…”

Effects of Flow Rate and Viscosity on Slip Factor of Centrifugal Pump Handling Viscous Oils by Wen-Guang Li

“…In the present paper, the flip factor was estimated by means of two approaches: one is from the velocity triangles at the impeller outlet and the other is due to the impeller theoretical head of 3D turbulent viscous fluid. The velocity of water and viscous oils in the impeller and volute computed by CFD was validated with LDV measurements at the best efficiency point. …”
