Le retour de la question foncière dans l’aménagement des stations touristiques alpines en Suisse by Christophe Clivaz, Stéphane Nahrath

“…Faced with the failure of planning and zoning to limit these trends whose negative effects on the development of tourism seriously begin to be felt in the 1990s, we encounter, now in recent years, the post-eradication of the real estate question in discussions concerning the development of tourist resorts particularly in implementing real estate instruments, such as quota systems, moratoriums or taxes, intervening so much more directly than only zoning on land and real estate owners, contingency arrangements initially excluded from spatial planning policy.…”

Impacts of grade control structures on riverbed degradation by Weiming Wu, Ruihua Nie, Kai Wei, Bruce W. Melville, Asaad Y. Shamseldin, Lu Wang

“…The experimental results indicate that: (1) in the initial stage of degradation, the water surface slope in the backwater reach is linearly and negatively correlated with the GCS-height Froude number, based on the average flow velocity upstream of the backwater reach due to GCS and the height of GCS; (2) the effective protection bed length upstream of GCS is approximately equal to the length of the reach where the flow velocity is less than the critical velocity for sediment motion in the backwater zone; (3) for sequential GCSs, the effective protection bed length will decrease if GCS is located in the backwater reach of the downstream GCS. …”

Research of the influence of highcarbon steel wire drawing speed on stresses and deformations on wire cross section by Yu. L. Bobarikin, Yu. V. Martyanov

“…The values of equivalent residual stresses for the selected drawing route along the wire cross-section zones are determined. The analysis of the equivalent stress distribution over the wire cross section is made.It is shown that the increase in the speed of coarse drawing increases the uniformity of the distribution of equivalent residual stresses, does not have a negative effect on the deformed state of the wire, increases the absolute values of equivalent residual stresses, slightly reduces the absolute values of residual deformations.…”
