ABSTRACT Studies of futurity typically privilege licit economies and assume that the lines between illicit institutions are largely clear to actors involved. But what happens those actors, their grip on future, when such blur? This article explores epistemic crossroads legality by focusing ambiguity. From 1986 2009, Stanford Financial Group reaped billions dollars selling fraudulent investment ...

Underwater wet welding (UWW) is applied to repair basic offshore structures, underwater pipelines, water transportation, docks, and port equipment. The method used in the current research was shield metal arc (SMAW), this conducted on an A36 steel plate. We investigated effect of a temperature 10 ± 5 °C different types flow (without flow, non-uniform with baffle bulkhead, without bulkhead). def...

Ridesharing platforms have radically changed the way people get around in urban areas, but there remain challenges undercutting mission of “making transportation as reliable running water.” A particular concern is that drivers strategize: calling riders to find out their destinations and canceling trips are not worthwhile, declining chasing surge prices neighboring going off-line before large e...

Abstract Jiaocheng fault ground fissure is the longest extending intermittently in Fen Wei depression zone. The occurrence and development of fissures are affected by rainfall, groundwater pumping, activity, strata other factors. research shows that with rainwater flowing down replenishing confined water layer, there will be undercutting, scouring hollowing, which aggravate fissures; In structu...

The block caving mining method has become increasingly popular in the last two decades. Meanwhile, Indonesia several potential ore bodies which have not yet determined suitable methods. references to projects worldwide and potency of metal deposits were reviewed determine requirements for using transformed method. This can be applied on a blocky body with thickness 200–800 m, various rock mass ...

Undercutting is a fusion welding defect that appears as groove at the weld metal's toe. An undercut discontinuity forms when welding, particularly current applied an extremely rapid rate. It decreases static and fatigue strength of produces stress concentration zone. The height reinforcement, bead's contact angle, undercut's breadth, depth, length, root radius, well other factors, affect factor...
