The relevance of the Gulf of Guinea in global energy politics

Africa and for that matter the Gulf of Guinea cannot be indifferent to the global energy politics of the 21st century. The increasing importance of the region has attracted major actors in the energy sector. The competing interests of these actors are played out in various forms. This heightened interest in the region, especially with the discovery of oil in huge commercial quantities, has brought the importance of the area into focus in global oil politics. This paper looks at the importance of the region in light of the huge energy potentials of the Gulf of Guinea and how the institution of proper governance systems could serve as an important factor in ensuring the proper management of the resource.     

油料装备信息化的接入模式分析

给出了油料装备信息化中几种常见的信息接入方式:嵌入式系统、条码、射频标签,并对其进行了分析和比较。通过比较,认为嵌入式系统方式、射频标签方式具有较好的环境适应性、保密性和信息可读写性,大型油料装备的信息接入可采用这两种方式;二维条码因成本较低、具有一定的信息容量,可作为油料化验箱等小型装备器材的信息接入方式。最后对被覆线、卫星和短波电台3种信息传输方式的性能进行了比较。     

‘What is in a Name?’: The Role of (Different) Identities in the Multiple Proxy Wars in Syria

Abstract

Post-uprisings Middle East politics is frequently described as a ‘regional cold war’ involving proxy warfare that emphasises the role of shared identities linking external and local actors. But does the ‘content’ of identities impact proxy war dynamics? This article considers the present ‘battle for Syria’, a local conflict that became a theatre for multiple proxy wars involving actors emphasising identities on various levels, most notably national, religious/ sect and ethnic. It suggests that identity content does matter, with global powers more reluctant than regional players to back groups identifying at sub-national level, while foreign non-state actors are enthusiastic backers of sub-national identity.     

A Good Ally - Norway and International Statebuilding in Afghanistan, 2001-2014

The article examines the findings of the Commission of Inquiry established by the Norwegian government in 2014 to evaluate all aspects of Norway’s civilian and military contribution to the international operation in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2014. Concerned with the wider implications of the Commission’s findings, it focuses on two issues in particular: (1) Norway’s relations with the US, a close and long-standing strategic ally whose resources, capabilities and dominance of decision-making dwarfed that of all other coalition partners in Afghanistan; and (2) Norway’s record in the province of Faryab, where, from 2005 to 2012, a Norwegian-led Provincial Reconstruction Team was charged with bringing security, good governance and development to the province. How Norway prioritised and managed relations with the US highlights and helps to problematise the challenges – political, practical and moral – facing small and medium-sized powers operating in a coalition alongside the US. Norwegian efforts in Faryab are revealing of the dilemmas and contradictions that plagued and, ultimately, fatally undermined the international intervention as a whole. As such, Norway’s experience provides a microcosm through which the inherent limitations of the attempt to transfer the structures of modern statehood and Western democracy to Afghanistan can be better understood.

某加油车液压系统的温升控制

温升控制是液压系统设计的重要内容,其效果好坏直接影响着液压系统工作的可靠性。针对某加油车液压系统连续工作时间长、结构紧凑等特点,设计了一种新型的“油冷蛇形管”式液压油温控制系统,即将加油车自身输转的柴油导入液压油箱内的冷却管,对液压油实施强制冷却。经试验验证,取得了良好的温控效果。该方法取消了冷却水源,简化了结构,并达到了控制油温的目的,对类似系统的设计具有较好的借鉴意义。

输油管道悬空管段过渡长度分析

在地质灾害作用下,埋地输油管道下方的土层下陷或流失会造成管道悬空。悬空管段入土端到埋地段嵌固点的长度定义为悬空管段的过渡长度,其会对悬空管段的固有频率产生很大影响。基于Winkler线性理论,建立管道与土壤相互作用的力学模型,以埋地管段横向位移和轴向位移为零处作为固定边界条件,计算输油管道悬空管段的过渡长度。利用ANSYS软件建立过渡长度有限元模型,计算悬空管段的固有频率,与实测数据对比分析。研究表明,过渡长度对悬空管段的静力分析、振动分析以及输油管道的完整性评价都有非常重要的意义。

离子液体[SO3H-Bmim][HSO4]催化餐饮废油制备生物柴油

实验合成了一种磺酸基功能化离子液体,并用于催化高酸值餐饮废油制备生物柴油。当醇油物质的量之比为8∶1,离子液体用量为废油质量的0.8%,反应温度为150℃,反应时间为180min,生物柴油的产率可达到90.6%。该离子液体可以在比较温和的条件下将餐饮废油的酸值从13.22mgKOH/g降低到1mgKOH/g以下,然后利用NaOH催化生产生物柴油,会达到更高的产率,更为经济可行。
