Abstract:
SUMMARY Quito, the capital of Ecuador, with more than 2.5 M inhabitants, is exposed to a high seismic hazard due to its proximity to the Pacific subduction zone and active crustal faults, both capable of generating significant earthquakes. Furthermore, the city is located in an intermontane piggy-back basin prone to seismic wave amplification. To understand the basin’s seismic response and characterize its geological structure, 20 broad and medium frequency band seismic stations were deployed in Quito’s urban area between May 2016 and July 2018 that continuously recorded ambient seismic noise.

The late middleMiocene microfossil assemblages from the easternmost Pannonian Basin in Romania preserve numerous evolute and deformed specimens of Elphidium, which are assigned to the Recent species E. tongaense (Cushman 1931) originally described from the Pacific. Ourmaterial suggests that the origin of the species is back in the middle Miocene, when amarine connection between the Paratethys and the Indo-Pacific regions probably existed.

SUMMARY In 1906, an earthquake with a magnitude estimated between Mw 8.4 and 8.8 occurred in the subduction zone along the coast of Ecuador and Colombia. This earthquake caused extensive damage on the coast but had a rather small impact on the capital city of Quito, situated 180 km away. At that time, the city of Quito extended over a small area with a few thousand inhabitants, while today it stretches over 40 km and has a population of over 3 million, with most of the city built without paraseismic regulations.

Called the “truth-maker” or “grounding” objection, the idea is that the presentist's temporally impoverished resources are insufficient to allow him or her to say that statements about the past or future are truth-evaluable.

It is quite common to assume that Materialism, if true, is only contingently true. After all, couldn’t there have been a dualist world of immaterial souls, even if this world doesn’t happen to be one? We argue that, contrary to appearances, Materialism, if true, is necessarily true. In the course of making this argument we clarify what we take to be the core of the Materialist thesis, which differs crucially from the way it’s often presented. Rather than a specification of the nature of the material that underlies mentality, it is more a claim that mental states are realized, not basic.

AbstractThere are many empirical models for the development of creep and fatigue damage. The perhaps most well-known ones are Robison’s and Miner’s damage summation rules.

To improve the accuracy of the damage assessment, it is important to analyze the changes in the microstructure as well, not least the cavitation. To describe cyclic loading, special empirical models have often been used in the past, some with numerous adjustable parameters. Recently, a model for cyclic loading has been formulated that is based on

Here we shall start with the ideal gas state equations and obtain the entropy function for the gas in order to explore its basic properties. This will be an informal introduction to entropy, but many of the properties we encounter also hold quite generally. A more formal introduction is given in Chapter 6.

Abstract:
A truncated steel catenary riser (SCR) model was experimentally tested in the ocean basin by oscillating the top end of the model to simulate the heave and surge vessel motion in order to investigate the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) features. Out-of-plane VIV responses were generally analyzed revealing that although the root mean square (RMS) strain distributed rather broadband, the displacement was quite consistent within a narrowband from 0.2D to 0.3D, and the touch-down point (TDP) area was found not to be the place suffering the maximum out-of-plane VIV response due to near wall effects.

Abstract:
VIV in oscillatory flow is experimentally investigated in the ocean basin. The flexible test cylinder was forced to harmonically oscillate in various combinations of amplitude and period. VIV responses at cross flow direction are investigated using modal decomposition and wavelet transformation. The results show that VIV in oscillatory flow is quite different from that in steady flow; novel features such as ‘intermittent VIV’, amplitude modulation, mode transition are observed. Moreover, a VIV developing process including “Building-Up”, “Lock-In” and “Dying-Out” in oscillatory flow, is further

In the north of Yakutia, in recent times, the collection and extraction of fossil mammoth tusks has intensified. The article presents a geoecological assessment of the impact of tusk mining in yedoma deposits for thirty years on the territory of the basin of the lower reaches of the Semyuelyakh and Semyuelyakh-Sala rivers located on the Abyi lowland based on the interpretation of satellite images of different years. As a result of the research, it was revealed that, despite the seemingly extreme vulnerability of edoma high-ice deposits, they remain quite stable due to very severe climatic cond

Health problems due to poor air quality have been among the main environmental concerns in Mexico City, Santiago, Bogotá, Sao Paulo, Lima, Quito among other cities in the region. This study provides quantitative estimates of key air pollution concentrations, health impacts, and the monetary value of improving air quality in 41 major LAC urban areas containing 100 million people in all. While the estimates the authors derive are not finite, they allow comparisons across cities and show the significance of air quality improvements for the region as a whole.

The February 2013 surveys of expectations conducted by Central Banks with inflation targeting regimes indicate that movements in inflation expectations have been mixed. The simple average inflation expectation for the region for both 2013 and 2014 is 4. 5%. Inflation expectations rose quite sharply in Paraguay (now at 5. 9% for 2013) and in Uruguay (now at 8. 2% for 2013), while they decreased in Guatemala (now at 4. 5% for 2013) and in Colombia (now at 2. 7% for 2013).

Abstract:
Most of the research on temporalized Description Logics (DLs) has concentrated on the case where temporal operators can occur within DL concept descriptions. In this setting, reasoning usually becomes quite hard if rigid roles, i.e., roles whose interpretation does not change over time, are available. In this paper, we consider the case where temporal operators are allowed to occur only in front of DL axioms (i.e., ABox assertions and general concept inclusion axioms), but not inside of concepts descriptions. As the temporal component, we use linear temporal logic (LTL) and in the DL component

Abstract:
Many description logics (DLs) combine knowledge representation on an abstract, logical level with an interface to 'concrete' domains such as numbers and strings with built-in predicates such as <, +, and prefix-of. These hybrid DLs have turned out to be quite useful for reasoning about conceptual models of information systems, and as the basis for expressive ontology languages. We propose to further extend such DLs with key constraints that allow the expression of statements like 'US citizens are uniquely identified by their social security number'. Based on this idea, we introduce a number

Full text
Abstract:
Unification has been investigated both in modal logics and in description logics, albeit with different motivations. In description logics, unification can be used to detect redundancies in ontologies. In this context, it is not sufficient to decide unifiability, one must also compute appropriate unifiers and present them to the user. For the description logic EL, which is used to define several large biomedical ontologies, deciding unifiability is an NP-complete problem. It is known that every solvable EL-unification problem has a minimal unifier, and that every minimal unifier is a local uni

A mature teacher who continuously seeks improvement should be recognised as a professional who has autonomy in conducting their job and has the autonomy to engage in a professional community of practice (Hyslop-Margison and Sears, 2010). In other words, teachers’ engagement in professional development activities should be driven by their own determination rather than extrinsic sources of motivation. In this context, teachers’ self-determination can be defined as a feeling of connectedness with their own aspirations or personal values, confidence in their ability to master new skills, and a sen
