Patch repair technology with sacrificial zinc anodes in RC slabs with corroded steel bars by Christian, Alvin

“…Furthermore, the highest amount of macrocell corrosion can be encountered at steel segments near the patch repair area. Compared with each sample, it was discovered that zinc sacrificial anodes installed within areas with high level of chloride contamination provided the best protection for the steel reinforcement against corrosion damage.…”

Simulations of radiatively cooled magnetic reconnection driven by pulsed power by Datta, Rishabh, Crilly, Aidan, Chittenden, Jeremy P., Chowdhry, Simran, Chandler, Katherine, Chaturvedi, Nikita, Myers, Clayton E., Fox, William R., Hansen, Stephanie B., Jennings, Chris A., Ji, Hantao, Kuranz, Carolyn C., Lebedev, Sergey V., Uzdensky, Dmitri A., Hare, Jack D.

“…In this paper, we perform two- and three-dimensional simulations to model the MARZ (Magnetic Reconnection on Z) experiments, which are designed to access cooling rates in the laboratory necessary to investigate reconnection in a previously unexplored radiatively cooled regime. These simulations are performed in GORGON, an Eulerian two-temperature resistive magnetohydrodynamic code, which models the experimental geometry comprising two exploding wire arrays driven by 20 MA of current on the Z machine (Sandia National Laboratories). …”

Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan : the role of post-conflict reconstruction by Sadia Sulaiman

“…Subsequently, the Taliban-led insurgents re-emerged as a potent force by exploiting the Afghan people’s discontent, which arose from the absence of security, especially in the South and East of Afghanistan and the failure to rebuild the country’s economy, as a result of which the weak Karzai regime lost its legitimacy. The international community’s failure to make headway in reconstructing post-Bonn Afghanistan helped the Taliban to draw material and human resources for their movement from the disgruntled population. …”
