Study on scour simulation and boundary condition conversion technology for a shallow foundation bridge by Gangping Fan, Huanzhe Li, Tianzhuo Wang, Jian Che, Xing Li, Chunyang Dou, Tong Wu

“…To prevent and mitigate scouring risks, this paper investigates the riverbed scouring characteristics of shallow foundation bridges under different hydrological conditions.The study found that under high water levels and flow velocities, scour depth significantly increased.Under extreme hydrological conditions, a horseshoe vortex forms at the base of the front end of the bridge pier, causing scour pits on both sides of the upstream face of the foundation, which is the main cause of foundation voids that first appear at 2580 s with a maximum scour depth of -2.51 m and a void area of 0.5%, continuing to increase over time.Based on simulated scouring data, this study proposes a method for converting boundary conditions from a scouring model to a mechanical model. …”

Thermochemical analysis of the behaviour of Cu in Ti nano-strand formation from low-temperature reaction of Al-Fe-Cu powder with CaF2-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-MnO-TiO2 flux by Theresa Coetsee, Frederik Johannes De Bruin

“…In the current study, Al-Fe-Cu metal powders were reacted with CaF2-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-MnO-TiO2 flux to identify the behaviour of copper in the reaction system. Post-reaction three-dimensional slag was analysed using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to locate and analyse nano-strands, which confirm gas phase reactions from the oxy-fluoride slag. …”

AN EXAMINATION OF CONJUGATIONAL SUFFIXES OF PASSIVE CONSTRUCTIONS IN FULFULDE by YAHAYA MOHAMMED AHMED

“…In Fulfulde, it is described as a grammatical construction in which the subject of a clause or sentence becomes the thing that is acted upon Breeveld, (1995) In other words the verb form changes so that the thing that is acted upon comes first, while the acting agent comes second or doesn’t appear at all McIntosh (1984). Based on the descriptions mentioned above, Fulfulde scholars are of the view that all the conjugational suffixes n Fulfulde have different forms when they combine with active voice verbs, with middle voice verbs or with passive voice verbs. …”
