Construction of a model of subsoil moisture movement in cultivated slope lands by Andrey A. Mikhaylin

“…To study the moistening process in the slope soil layer treated by the new method, the following assumptions were made: the soil skeleton was geometrically unchanged; hysteresis was excluded in the system under consideration; the moisture inside the soil was not compressed; the air pressure inside the treated soil horizon was equal to the atmospheric pressure; capillary and gravitational phenomena were the main causes of moisture movement inside the treated layer; subsoil moisture transfer was related to isothermal processes; the Cartesian coordinate system was used, and the z-axis was directed vertically upwards. …”

Resistance, protest and configurations of time, space and place in Herbs’ Pacific reggae songs by Elizabeth Turner

“…Although the terms have been used in Anglophone discussions of popular music for some hundred years, there is a tendency to treat them as synonymous. The paper draws on the work of David Laing (2003), who considers the distinction between protest songs and resistance songs, and also extends Barbara Harlow’s (1987) conceptualisation of resistance poetry to the similarly compressed discourse structures of popular songs. …”

Wpływ Przepon Pośrednich na Stateczność Pręta Cienkościennego by A. Chudzikiewicz

“…In these equations A = bδ is the cross sectional area, I = δb3/12 - the moment of inertia of the flange, E-Young's modulus, S(1) the static moment of the flange in relation to the x axis, p and m are the full loads of the flange after the stability loss (Fig. 4) and k = σ/E, σ being the axial compressive stress. The web is treated as a uniformly compressed and bent plate (2.3) where the load is the reaction r(y) of the intermediate diaphragm (Fig. 5) linearly distributed along the line x = xo. …”
