Abstract:
Abstract In the international circuit of fictional texts from the last fifty years (perhaps even one hundred years, in some cases), several independent international organizations, academic and editorial platforms of critique and debate have been established. They have been organizing international contests, fine authorities of critical appreciation, evaluation and awarding of most prolific authors and most successful fictional texts: novels, short stories, stories or utopian and dystopian fictions. The allotment on cultural corridors, the geographical identification of both author and title dynamics which have been nominated at the most prestigious international awards for fiction demonstrates an increased emergence of several zones where wide international circulation texts were seldom, fifty years ago. In this paper, we suggest a reinterpretation and a comprehension of the political context from the contemporary fiction, by regrouping in one category, the three classical genres (historic novel, social novel, political novel) and also the universal fiction which implies characters and relations of power. Thus, we create a category which is known as „political fiction”. The increased individualization of this literary macro-genre called „political fiction” is also a creative answer to the high speed of circulation and at the general international amplitude with which contemporary socio-political novels are distributed.

Abstract:
This essay presents the song “Area Code 869,” an example of a Caribbean genre known as “wilders” or “pep,” as a form of what Kodwo Eshun calls “sonic fiction.” By focusing on sonic bodies as “bodies touched by sound,” the essay suggests that “869” offers a reimagination of the historical relationship between sugar, sound, and speed in the Eastern Caribbean island of St. Kitts, a former British sugar colony.

Abstract:
In the dreams our stuff is made of, Thomas M. Disch talks about the influence and pervasiveness of science Fiction in American culture and asserts the genre's power in “such diverse realms as industrial design and marketing, military strategy, sexual mores, foreign policy, and practical epistemology” (11-12). A few years earlier, Sharona Ben-Tov described science fiction as “a peculiarly American dream”—that is, “a dream upon which, as a nation, we act” (2). Recently, Kim Stanley Robinson has claimed that “rapid technological development on all fronts combined to turn our entire social reality into one giant science fiction novel, which we are all writing together in the great collaboration called history” (1-2). While such diagnostic statements may ring true to American ears, they cannot be taken at face value in the context of Hellenic culture. Despite the unprecedented speed with which the Greeks absorb and consume both the latest technologies (like satellite TV, video, CD and DVD players, electronic games, mobile and cordless phones, PCs, and the Internet) and Hollywood's science fiction blockbuster films, neither technology per se nor science fiction has yet saturated the Greek mind-set to a degree that makes daily life a science-fictional reality. Greek politicians do not consult science fiction writers for military strategy and foreign policy decisions or depend on imaginary scenarios to shape their country's future. Contemporary Hellenic culture does not acquire its national pride from mechanical devices or space conquest. Contrary to the American popular belief that technology is the driving force of history, “a virtually autonomous agent of change” (Marx and Smith xi), the Greek view is that a complex interplay of political, economic, cultural, and technoscientific agencies alters the circumstances of daily life. No hostages to technological determinism, modern Greeks increasingly interface with high-tech inventions, but without locating earthly paradise in their geographic territory and without writing their history or shaping their social reality as “one giant science fiction novel.”

Abstract:
In order to increase driving safety level on freeway, the paper analyzed the affecting mechanism of rainy day, snowy day and foggy day on road traffic safety. Considering that the sum of running distance and braking distance is less than visible distance, theoretical calculation formula of maximum speed limit value on freeway in adverse weather was presented based on the safe distance. Suggestions values of corresponding speed limit were given according to different visible distance, road fiction coefficient and grade.

Abstract:
The rate of acceleration of the biologic and synthetic world has for a while now, been in the process of exponentially speeding up, maxing out servers and landfills, merging with each other, destroying each other. The last prehistoric relics on Earth are absorbing the same oxygen, carbon dioxide and electronic waves in our biosphere as us. A degraded .jpeg enlarged to full screen on a Samsung 4K UHD HU8550 Series Smart TV - 85” Class (84.5” diag.). Within this composite ecology, the ancient limestone of the grand canyon competes with the iMax movie of itself, the production of Mac pros, a YouTube clip from Jurassic park, and the super bowl halftime show. A search engines assistance with biographic memory helps our bodies survive new atmospheres and weigh the gravities that exist around the versions of an objects materiality. Communication has moved from our vocal chords, to swipes and taps of our thumbs on a screen that predicts the weather, accesses the hidden, invisible, and withdrawn information from the objects around us, and still ducks up what we are trying to say. This txt was written on a tablet returned to stock settings and embedded with content to mine the experience in which mediated technology creates, communicates and obscures new forms of language. Life in a new event horizon — a dimensional dualism that finds us competing for genetic and mimetic survival — we are now functioning as different types of humans.

Abstract:
While the rise of the Internet and the high speed networks made information easier to acquire, faster to exchange and more flexible to share, it also made the cybernetic attacks and crimes easier to perform, more accurate to hit the target victim and more flexible to conceal the crime evidences. Although people are in an unsafe digital environment, they often feel safe. Being aware of this fact and this fiction, the authors draw in this paper a security framework aiming to build real-time security solutions in the very narrow context of high speed networks. This framework is called (f|p) since it is inspired by the elefant self-defense behavior which yields p (22 security tasks for 7 security targets).

Abstract:
This chapter looks at the place of disability in a time of posthumanist work. Work and employment are categories in which there are many public narratives about the ‘problems’ of people with disabilities. In a contemporary late-capitalist world that privileges ideas of work productivity and efficiency, those with disability are frequently deemed ‘slow’ or inefficient. The chapter explores claims made about 24/7 work cultures, seen through ideas of speed and time. It reads narratives of embodied work, in which disability is a central driver of depictions of subjectivity; and of sleep, a state deemed to be highly ‘unproductive’ and, as such, problematically wasteful. It focuses on a range of contemporary fiction to make its arguments.

Abstract:
Finance infiltrated fiction, just as fiction enabled readers of the early 1870s Arabic press to apprehend the dangerous and deceptive fictitiousness underwriting a financialized society. With the rise of a credit economy in Beirut, transactions textualized in the form of ledgers, receipts, checks, promissory notes, and mortgages were securing the economy, but the very immateriality of these exchanges introduced a new kind of risk and uncertainty. Fiction loomed within finance and threatened dreams of progress; speculating in Arabic became the province of novelists and financiers alike. Merchants and brokers became stock protagonists of novels by Salīm al-Bustānī and Yūsuf al- Shalfūn. Enabled by the telegraph, a new kind of speed emerged: merchants and traders relied on the press for the latest shipping news and commodity prices; a single year’s silk harvests could make or break fortunes; and imported fashions changed so fast, as one printed anecdote had it, that a wife’s hat could go out of style before her husband even made it home from the shop. Ultimately, a sense of anxiety pervaded a Beirut reading public increasingly worried about the costs of keeping pace with the flows and imbalances of a global order of finance capital.

Abstract:
The active magnetic bearings (AMB), with the advantages of no friction, no abrasion, no lubrication and active control, is used in the primary helium circulator for high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTR). But the magnetic bearing is a complex system, which contains sensor, controller, power amplifier circuit and actuators. Any part of failure is likely to make high-speed rotor off balanced position and fell in the inner ring of the bearing, causing huge impact and fiction heat that may damage the magnetic bearing. Therefore, it is necessary to bring the auxiliary bearing in the magnetic bearing to protect and temporarily support the high-speed rotor. The auxiliary bearings are mainly divided into two categories: rolling bearings and plain bearings. Generally speaking, for rolling bearings, the force of friction is smaller and the heat caused by it is lower during the touchdown. However, it needs to be detected online to ensure that it can work well in emergencies, and the rolling bearings has a smaller load capacity because of the point contact between the ball and the ring. Compared with the rolling bearings, the structure of plain bearings is simple and durable. With a larger load capacity and the advantage of non-contact detection, the plain bearing is gradually becoming a research hot-spot in the field of the auxiliary bearing. But the great friction and inevitable heat are also cannot be ignored. In High temperature gas-cooled reactor demonstration power station (HTR_PM), the work load of helium main fan is very large, once the support of electromagnetic bearing is out of work, the auxiliary bearing need to suffer from a very large drop impact load, which is accompanied by a huge friction fever. Therefore, it is important to develop a rolling-sliding integrated bearing which can bear heavy load and have little friction, combined with the advantages of plain bearings and rolling bearings. And that is an important direction of the development for the main helium pan in high temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant. This paper establish a simulation model for a horizontal rotor and rolling-sliding integrated auxiliary bearing system. In the case of synchronous rotation of the inner ring with the rotor, the speed of the outer race of the bearing is determined. and based on the main helium fan in HTR-PM, using the finite element analysis software LS-Dyna, the rolling-sliding integrated auxiliary bearing is proposed and the impact force and the MISES stress nephogram when the peak inflation occurred during the first impact and the axial axes displacement curve during rotor drop in the auxiliary bearing are preliminarily simulated in this paper., then certain theoretical reference is provided for the design and engineering application of the rolling-sliding integrated auxiliary bearing.

Abstract:
One way to model train operations and make predictions of future outcome is to use simulation. Many lines and networks connecting major cities have a high capacity utilization, meaning that running additional trains leads to an even more strained situation and delays are likely to increase. The mix of average train speeds is also related to capacity and delay propagation. Considering one line or several lines connected in a network a requested train traffic can consist of different train categories and departure frequencies. There are usually several possible timetables satisfying this traffic demand. The infrastructure often implies limitations on the type and volume of traffic that can be handled. Additionally constraints introduced by requests for regular intervals, minimum headways, passenger transfers between trains etc. can reduce the number of acceptable timetables. This paper presents an approach using combinatorial train initiations and simulation to generate conflict-free timetables. These can then be simulated with random variations in departure and dwell times. This is implemented on a fictive single track line with high speed passenger train traffic. The objective is to study outcome by varying allowance times and delays. Simulations are carried out in RailSys, a software using synchronous simulation to model train traffic operations.

Abstract:
This work is focused on developing a technique to assess high cycle fatigue of shrouded HP compressor blades subjected to thermo-mechanical loads like centrifugal stresses, vibratory stresses and thermal stresses in a gas turbine rotor. In practice, the blades are also subjected to resonance condition during steady or transient conditions of operation when passing through critical speeds. Hence, shrouds are added initially at 3/4 length along blade height which helps in reducing vibration amplitude by providing suitable stiffness to the blade and hence better structural integrity. Industrial best practice like Campbell diagram is used for the above purpose. Two approaches employed here for fatigue analysis are linear Finite element analysis (FEA) and Elasto-Plastic FEA. Fictive elastic results are recalculated using Neuber’s Rule. Strain amplitude approach is followed and Coffin-Manson Equation is used to determine the number of start-up and shut-down cycles. Design and analysis is performed using ANSYS 14.5 tool for reliable fatigue life estimation and to predict catastrophic failure due to High Cycle Fatigue.
