Abstract:
Having the entrance/exit depot line of Guogongzhuang metro depot of Beijing metro line 9 as the background, ballasted track-soil model is established and simulated. The accuracy of the model is proved comparatively high. Taking the nearby building as the research object, effects of structure characteristics modification of the building on slab vibration are discussed. The results suggest that: The trend of the vibration levels of slabs changing with the floors is the same as that of the benchmark example after changing the structure characteristics of the building. As the dimension of columns increases and the performance of the concrete is better, the vibration levels of the building decrease obviously. As the thickness of slabs increases, the effect is much more complicated. The vibration level of each slab increases from basement 2 to the 14th floor by 0.02 to 8.4dB. The vibration level of each slab decreases from the 15th floor to the top floor, and the vibration levels are 0.8 to 9.9dB lower than that of the benchmark example.

Abstract. The article presents results of a ground penetrating radar (GPR) investigation carried out in the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Kłodzko, Poland, dating from the 14th to 16th centuries. Due to the 20th century wars, the current state of knowledge about the history of the church is still poor. Under the floor of the Catholic temple, unknown structures might exist. To verify the presence of underground structures such as crypts and tombs, a GPR survey was carried out in chapels and aisles with 500 and 800 MHz GPR shielded antennas. Numerous anomalies were detected. It was concluded that those under the chapels were caused by the presence of crypts beneath the floor.

Abstract:
A recent archaeological excavation of the Castle of the town of Novo Brdo has discovered residential buildings from the second quarter of the 14th century as well as the remains of a subsequently built bath, dated to the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century. Built on a small area, the bath consisted of a single bathing chamber above a hypocaust, a water reservoir and a furnace. Since there were no natural springs or groundwater wells, it was supplied with water from cisterns. The bathing chamber, originally domed, was not furnished with a masonry water basin. It was heated by an under floor hypocaust system and by steam conveyed by pipes from are servoir of boiling water. The only known analogies for this small structure, presently the only such discovered in medieval Serbia and its neighborhood, are bathing chambers in residential complexes in the region of Amalfi, southern Italy.

Abstract:
Extraordinarily valuable house no. 22 in the village of Zbečno (Rakovník district) underwent complex construction development in the Early Modern period. The oldest preserved structures date from the 16th century, and significant reconstruction work took place in the 18th century. However, the origin of the house is substantially older. The article presents the comprehensive results of an archaeological excavation performed in a pair of living rooms and in the courtyard of the homestead. In the stratified layers beneath today’s floors, it was possible to distinguish the remains of three consecutive medieval houses, the internal layout of which corresponded to the floor plan of today’s house. Two of these houses were destroyed by fire. Pottery dates the construction of the earliest house to the period between the second half of the 13th century and the first half of the 14th century. Although the current walls are slightly shifted in plan from the medieval development stages, the orientation of the main dispositional axes has not changed.

Abstract:
The article describes a hazard caused by deformation of a brick vault located under the dungeons of the gate tower of Zamek Górny in Opole at the turn of the 13th and the 14th centuries, which was used as a school building until 2017. The hazard identified in 2013 was found on the ground level of the building in a communication route of the heavy traffic load. Visual inspections and tests have demonstrated that the existing situation was caused by civil works performed at the dungeon level nearly 6 years earlier due to an unconsidered decision on removing debris and a backfill which filled entirely the lower tower storeys. The above actions resulted in removal of the base of the floor ‘laid on the ground’ in the 19th century [2][4]. In this article, an analysis was carried out to verify possibilities of unbelievable strength of the artificially formed flat vault, which was previously the floor supported on a debris and sand base.

Abstract:
✓On August 29, 2005, a hurricane named Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. Many feared the consequences of such a storm, but very few believed that it could ever happen. This article is a narrative written shortly after the evacuation of patients and personnel from the flooded Charity Hospital. The days at Charity hospital were hot and humid following Katrina, and as time passed the air was permeated by a stench that was inescapable. Rendering care to patients without electricity, and thus light and air conditioning, with a temperature in the 90°s and no running water was a challenge. Trying to cool patients with central fever and providing adequate ventilation for unconscious patients was extremely difficult. Without elevators, climbs up to and down from the 14th floor—where the author and his colleagues had their sleeping rooms—and the 12th (surgical intensive care unit [ICU]), seventh (neuro ICU and step-down units), and sixth (medical ICU) floors were tedious. The descent to check the emergency department and obtain a closer look at flooding in the streets around the hospital, which maintained a 4- to 5-foot water level, became prohibitive because of the contemplation of the necessary return ascent. There were 21 patients, mostly neurosurgical, in the neuro ICU and step-down units and wards. This is their story.

Abstract:
Stranded in Jamaica for a year in AD 1503, Christopher Columbus and crew became reliant on the Taíno village of Maima for provisions. Recent archaeological survey and excavations at this site document a sizeable hillside settlement established early in the White Marl period of Jamaican culture history with continued occupation up to Spanish contact. Beginning by 13th to 14th century AD, the people at Maima expanded their settlement capacity across the hillslope through construction of house terraces and platforms employing large volumes of limestone rock and gravel fill. Archaeological excavation on these features has exposed at least one circular, center-pole Taíno house with a surprisingly limited floor space. A review of Jamaican archaeology suggests both hillside terracing and small house form is characteristic of Jamaican Taíno village configuration more broadly. This pattern stands in contrast to other areas of Taíno settlement in the Caribbean, and to the small number of Spanish chronicles in which Taíno villages and houses are described.

Abstract:
A forensic case in which two facultative predatory species were found together on a human corpse is presented in this work. Second and third instar larvae of Synthesiomyia nudiseta (van der Wulp, 1883) (Diptera: Muscidae) and Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) were collected from the dead body of a man on 14th November 2019, but puparia in the autopsy pictures were observed after, but not collected. The corpse was found on the terrace of the third floor of a building located in the town of Elche (SE Spain), and the pathologist confirmed the death as natural. The minimum post-mortem interval was estimated by the time to reach the length of the collected larvae or to reach the pupal developmental stage (in days and accumulated degree-days). In accordance with the influence of the predatory behaviour of each of these species on the developmental data of the other, as described in the existing literature, the effect of a hypothetical competition between both species on post-mortem interval was discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract We studied the hydrobiochemical balance of total mercury (THg) in a forest ecosystem covering an area affected by mining activity in the past (14th – 18th cent.) in the Kremnické vrchy Mts. (central Slovakia). A reference plot was located in an undisturbed area very close to primeval forest of Badínsky prales natural reserve. We analysed THg in bulk precipitation, throughfall, litterfall, forest floor percolate, forest soil and assimilatory organs of tree species. Results pointed out to high wet mercury deposition at both plots (51 μg·m−2·yr−1 an area near a cinnabar mining (MP1) and 37 μg·m−2·yr−1, in a reference catchment area near the protected primary forest (MP2)) as well as high THg deposition by throughfall (74 μg·m−2·yr−1 and 51 μg·m−2·yr−1, respectively in MP1 and MP2). Litterfall does not represent the main THg flux into forest soil but together with throughfall doubles the THg input compared to open space deposition. Forest ecosystem has ability to capture atmospheric Hg and thus makes new sources of mercury inputs (throughfall and litterfall) into soil.

Abstract:
The analytic component of the thesis approaches major questions in Cultural Studies, Philosophy and Social Theory through an investigation of various forms of creative practice. I approach the question of agency, for instance, through a study of stage actors, who must recite set lines, and yet feel empowered precisely by the opportunity to act through them. Investigation of the author's own work as a poet and novelist serves to cast light upon ideology, ie. how one might use a constrained language and yet feel empowered to speak new things through it. I apply these investigations to Althusser, whose famous essay on the total power of ideological interpellation is permeated with theatrical metaphor. I suggest that Althusser is repressing the creative component of everyday life, something social theory has ever found hard to theorise. I proceed to suggest that the place where such processes are analysed is in the philosophy of science. The work of Charles Saunders Peirce on the experimental method is, my investigation uncovers, surprisingly geared toward the investigation of creativity. In science one has a method for, and an extensive literature on, discovering new phenomena. My thesis is that the experimental method of modern scientists, and the creative method of modern writers, both geared toward the production of things that are at once new and true, is largely the same. I use Peircean semiotics to argue that creative composition is about listening to the languages spoken all round you, and transcribing their objective contours. So as to have effect on others. Which is just like science. And in both instances we are endlessly spoken through at every moment by the myriad languages which interpellate us. Whence creativity (for those who are open to it). My three portfolio pieces are: Cube Root of Book: a series of one hundred and thirty two poems set at intervals along the descending spiral of a Fibonacci number sequence. The 14th Floor, an Hypothesis, an experimental novel, written quite literally as an experiment; i.e. having written the novel, I then wrote up a prac-report detailing what I had learnt about the performance of writing, including the above. Unaustralia, a Study of Heads, an attempt to show the relevance of these findings to Cultural Studies and other related practices. It centres on my new reading of Althusser, and is flanked by mini-ethnographies of creative practice, including the above. The poetry is presented as a major new creative work. The experimental novel/ book of philosophy as a substantial contribution to knowledge.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper discusses the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods to understand and characterize erosion of the floor and internal structures in the slurry mixing vessels in the Defense Waste Processing Facility. An initial literature survey helped identify the principal drivers of erosion for a solids laden fluid: the solids content of the working fluid, the regions of recirculation and particle impact with the walls, and the regions of high wall shear. A series of CFD analyses was performed to characterize slurry-flow profiles, wall shear, and particle impingement distributions in key components such as coil restraints and the vessel floor. The calculations showed that the primary locations of high erosion resulting from abrasion were at the leading edge of the coil guide, the tank floor below the insert plate of the coil guide support, and the upstream lead-in plate. These modeling results based on the calculated high shear regions were in excellent agreement with the observed erosion sites in both location and the degree of erosion. Loss of the leading edge of the coil guide due to the erosion damage during the slurry mixing operation did not affect the erosion patterns on the tank floor. Calculations for a lower impeller speed showed similar erosion patterns but significantly reduced wall shear stresses.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this work is to present a methodology to develop cost-effective thermal management solutions for microelectronic devices, capable of removing maximum amount of heat and delivering maximally uniform surface temperature distributions. The topological and geometrical characteristics of multiple-story three-dimensional branching networks of microchannels were developed using multi-objective optimization. The design variables which will be subject to optimization in this analysis are the geometric parameters of the microchannel network, i.e. the number of network floors in a 3D network, the amount of branching levels per floor, the connectivity of the cooling channels, their cross-sectional areas and lengths. A conjugate heat transfer analysis software package (CHETSOLP) and an automatic 3D microchannel network generator (3DBNGEN) were developed and coupled with a multi-objective particle-swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm with a goal of creating a design tool for 3D networks of optimized coolant flow channels. Numerical algorithms in the conjugate heat transfer solution package include a quasi-1D thermo-fluid solver (COOLNET) and a 3D steady heat diffusion solver, which were validated against results from high-fidelity Navier-Stokes equations solver and analytical solutions for basic fluid dynamics test cases. The conjugate heat transfer solution is achieved by simultaneous prediction of the quasi-1D internal flow-field in the microchannel network and 3D internal temperature field in the solid substrate [1]. Minimization of the pumping power requirement and maximization of total heat removal subject to temperature uniformity (at the heated surface) were the objectives. Pareto-optimal solutions demonstrate that thermal loads of up to 400 W/cm2 can be managed with 3D multi-floor microchannel networks, with pumping power requirements that are up to 50% lower with respect to pumping power requirements in currently used high-performance cooling technologies, such as jet impingement and hybrid impingement-microchannel flow.
