Dynamic Modeling and Parameters Optimization of Large Vibrating Screen with Full Degree of Freedom

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Dynamic characteristic and reliability of the vibrating screen are important indicators of large vibrating screen. Considering the influence of coupling motion of each degree of freedom, the dynamic model with six degrees of freedom (6 DOFs) of the vibrating screen is established based on the Lagrange method, and modal parameters (natural frequencies ...

Toward a Politics of Planetary Care: The Limits of More‐Than‐Human Approaches, Silenced Notes From Indigenous Forest Worlds in India

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 4, Page 809-825, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In response to the planetary climate crisis, influential scholarship has directed us to decenter the human, recognize nonhuman agency, and imagine more‐than‐human futures. But what might this leave out? Drawing on Indigenous forest worlds in India and the incarcerated intellectual‐activists who struggled alongside them, this article develops a

Numerical Simulation of Artificial Fracture Propagation in Shale Gas Reservoirs Based on FPS‐Cohesive Finite Element Method

Geofluids, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
The simulation of hydraulic fracturing by the conventional ABAQUS cohesive finite element method requires a preset fracture propagation path, which restricts its application to the hydraulic fracturing simulation of a naturally fractured reservoir under full coupling.

Weaponizing Nature, Naturalizing Violence: Anthropologies of Ecofascism

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 224-236, March 2026.
ABSTRACT After decades of denial and obstruction, the global Right is increasingly willing to acknowledge that climate change is a threat to lives and lifeways everywhere. Moreover, some seize on the specter of ecological collapse to advance fascistic politics.

Power in/of/as water: Revisiting the hydrologic cycle in the Peruvian Andes

WIREs Water, Volume 5, Issue 2, March/April 2018., 2018
Mount Hualca Hualca of Cabanaconde. Water is important not only as a natural resource but also as an object of political empowerment, social meaning, and cultural imagination.

Wibana: How Bobonaza Runa and Forest Animals Know and Live With Each Other

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Runa women living along the Bobonaza river in the Ecuadorian Amazon raise captured forest animals, in a practice called wibana. Runa women are attentive to the particular ways the wiba (raised) animals interface with the world, and learn the wibas’ communicative repertoires and are able to “read” what wibas sense in the forest, including ...

MCA Model for Simulating the Failure of Microinhomogeneous Materials

Journal of Nanomaterials, Volume 2008, Issue 1, 2008., 2008
A special cellular automaton (CA) model called mechanical cellular automaton (MCA) is built, in which inhomogeneity of material cell can be evaluated by Weibull′s distribution function. In MCA, such material physical parameters as energy or strength and anisotropy defined by the different transferring energies along different directions are adopted. To
