Abstract:
A family of locking-free Kriging-based Timoshenko beam elements with a new implementation of the discrete shear gap technique was recently developed (referred to as K-beam-DSG1 elements). Performance of the K-beam-DSG1 elements has been shown to be very satisfactory in the linear static analysis of beams for a wide variety of thicknesses. This paper presents further development of the K-beam-DSG1 elements to free vibration and bifurcation buckling analyses of prismatic and non-prismatic beams. Consistent Kriging-based mass matrices are used for free vibration analysis and similarly, consistent Kriging-based geometric stiffness matrices are used for buckling analysis. The results show that for most of the cases, the K-beam-DGS1 elements yield remarkably accurate natural frequencies and critical compressive loads using a reasonable number of elements to discretize the beam. For an axially functionally graded fixed-fixed supported beam, however, the elements fail to predict the critical load accurately.

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">We introduce a comparison study for the performance of a lens-based free space optical interconnects system assuming Bessel Beams and Gaussian Beams as information carriers. The optical field at the detector plane was derived for the two beam profiles. In both cases the expressions for the output optical filed are expressed in terms of complex Gaussian functions. The performance of the system for the two beams is evaluated and compared. Using simulation results we show that the use of Bessel beam gives superior results to that of using Gaussian beam for large interconnects distance.</span></p>

Abstract:
Airy beams have offered great opportunities for ultrasound beam manipulation. However, one critical barrier that limits the broad applications of Airy beams in ultrasound is the lack of simply built device to generate Airy beams in water. This work presents a family of Airy beam-enabled binary acoustic metasurfaces (AB-BAMs) for underwater ultrasound beam manipulation. AB-BAMs are designed and fabricated by 3D printing with two coding bits: a polylactic acid unit acting as a bit “1” and a water unit acting as a bit “0.” The distribution of the binary units is determined by the pattern of Airy beam. We demonstrate the capability of AB-BAMs in flexibly tuning the focal region size and beam focusing in 3D space. The focal depth of AB-BAMs can be continuous and electronical tuned by adjusting the operating frequency of the planar transducer without replacing the AB-BAMs. The superimposing method is leveraged to enable the generation of complex acoustic fields. Furthermore, the proposed 3D-printed AB-BAMs are simple to design, easy to fabricate, and low-cost to produce with the capabilities to achieve tunable focal size, flexible 3D beam focusing, arbitrary multipoint focusing, and continuous steerability, which creates unprecedented potential for ultrasound beam manipulation.

Abstract:
A novel Nth order finite element for interior acoustics and structural dynamics is presented, with N arbitrarily large. The element is based upon a three-dimensional extension of the Coons patch technique, which combines high-order Lagrange and Hermite interpolation schemes. Numerical applications are presented, which include the evaluation of the natural frequencies and modes of vibration of (1) air inside a cavity (interior acoustics) and (2) finite-thickness beams and plates (structural dynamics). The numerical results presented are assessed through a comparison with analytical and numerical results. They show that the proposed methodology is highly accurate. The main advantages however are (1) its flexibility in obtaining different level of accuracy (p-convergence) simply by increasing the number of nodes, as one would do for h-convergence, (2) the applicability to arbitrarily complex configurations, and (3) the ability to treat beam- and shell-like structures as three-dimensional small-thickness elements.

Abstract:
A new family of partially coherent pulsed beams with spatial cosine-Gaussian and temporal Laguerre–Gaussian correlations, named spatial cosine-Gaussian and temporal Laguerre–Gaussian correlated Schell-model (SCTLGSM) pulsed beams, is introduced. An analytic propagation formula is derived for the SCTLGSM pulsed beam through the spatiotemporal ABCD optical system characterizing a continuous dispersive medium. As an example, the evolution of spatiotemporal intensity of the SCTLGSM pulsed beam in a still, pure water column is then investigated. It is found that the SCTLGSM pulsed beams simultaneously exhibit spatiotemporal self-splitting and self-focusing phenomena, which can be attributed to the special spatial/temporal coherence structures and the presence of pulse chirper in the source plane. The physical interpretation of the obtained phenomena is given. The results obtained in this paper will be of interest in underwater optical technologies, e.g., directed energy and communications.

Abstract:
A static analysis of three-dimensional sandwich beam structures using one-dimensional modelling approach is presented within this paper. A family of several one-dimensional beam elements is obtained by hierarchically expanding the displacements over the cross-section and letting the expansion order a free parameter. The finite element approximation order over the beam axis is also a formulation free parameter (linear, quadratic and cubic elements are considered). The principle of virtual displacements is used to obtain the problem weak form and derive the beam stiffness matrix and equivalent load vectors in a nuclear, generic form. Displacements and stresses are presented for different load and constraint configurations. Results are validated towards three-dimensional finite element solutions and experimental results. Sandwich beams present a three-dimensional stress state and higher-order models are necessary for an accurate description. Numerical investigations show that fairly good results with reduced computational costs can be obtained by the proposed finite element formulation.

Abstract:
Abstract Nowadays, cancer treatment with ion beam is well established and studied. This method allows to deposit the maximum dose to the tumor and minimize the damage to healthy tissue, due to the Bragg peak of the ion energy deposition near the end of the particle range. During the treatment, it is possible to provide volumetric dose delivery by changing the particle energy (penetration depth) and adjusting the beam position via a magnetic system. For the beam monitoring system, the precise measurement of the beam direction, shape and fluence in real time becomes crucial to provide effective and safe dose delivery to the tumor. Additionally, the system should work for beam intensities up to 1010 s-1 for protons, be tolerant to 1 MeV neutron equivalent fluences up to 1015 cm-2 per year and be to tolerant to magnetic fields (for MR-guided ion beam). The studies presented in this article are focused on the application of the HitPix sensor family with counting electronics and frame-based readout for such a beam monitoring system. The HitPix sensors are monolithic pixelated silicon sensors based on HV-CMOS technology and have been developed at the ASIC and Detector Lab (ADL, KIT). Recent measurements with ion beams and a multi-sensor readout as well as future developments are discussed.

Abstract:
Good specimen quality is a key factor in achieving successful scanning transmission electron microscope analysis. Thin and damage-free specimens are prerequisites for obtaining atomic-resolution imaging. Topological insulator single crystals and thin films in the chalcogenide family such as Sb2Te3 are sensitive to electron and ion beams. It is, therefore, challenging to prepare a lamella suitable for high-resolution imaging from these topological insulator materials using standard focused ion-beam instruments. We have developed a modified method to fabricate thin focused ion-beam (FIB) lamellae with minimal ion-beam damage and artifacts. The technique described in the current study enables the reliable preparation of high-quality transmission electron microscope (TEM) specimens necessary for studying ultra-thin surface regions. We have successfully demonstrated that the careful selection of FIB milling parameters at each stage minimizes the damage layer without the need for post-treatment.

Abstract:
Abstract The work focuses on the dynamic stability problem of a simply supported three-layer beam subjected to a pulsating axial force. Two analytical models of this beam are developed: one model takes into account the non-linear hypothesis of cross-section deformation, and the other takes into account the standard “broken line” hypothesis. Displacements, strains and stresses for each model are formulated in detail. Based on the Hamilton principle, equations of motion are determined for each of these models. These systems of two differential equations for each model are approximately solved with the consideration of the axial pulsating force, and the fundamental natural frequencies, critical forces and the Mathieu equation are determined. Detailed studies are performed for an exemplary family of beams. The stable and unstable regions are calculated for the three pulsating load cases. The values of fundamental natural frequencies and critical forces of exemplary beams calculated from two models are compared.

Abstract:

Some products share one or two modules and while developing these products, structural optimization with stiffness as the objective function can be a useful tool. There might be no or very little CAD-data available in the pre-development phase and it is not certain that existing designs can be, or is desirable to use as a reference. The main objective of this thesis is to establish an accurate and fast-to-use methodology which can be utilized while developing new cars.

In this thesis, the Volvo products S40, V50 and C70 serve as a basis for this case study. All the models are beam structures and the masses of components are added as point and line masses. Several optimization analyses are performed on one or three products exposed to seven load cases. Additional analyses with shell elements, more simplified models and changed load case balance achieved by normalization of the different load case compliances are also studied to investigate how these factors influence the results.

Analyses show that front crash to a great extent dominates the results while normalization increases the influence of the remaining load cases. Since front crash is dominating and the front area is shared in all products, the performance is remarkably similar when three products are optimized compared to separate analyses of one product. Analysis of models without added point or line masses gives a result which greatly differs from previous results and therefore shows that added masses are required. The methodology is applicable to develop products and detect new load paths through the car.

Parmi les tiers qui gravitent autour d’un enfant, il en est un que le droit français de la famille peine à reconnaître la singularité : l’homme ou la femme qui est en couple avec le parent d’un enfant et qui, à l’égard de ce mineur, assure une prise en charge plus ou moins factuelle.Qu’il se greffe sur une famille ou qu’il la compose, ce tiers communément dénommé « beau-parent » semble désormais connu, par une partie du droit positif (jurisprudence et doctrine), sous le vocable de parent social.Il est à reprocher au droit actuel de ne pas parvenir à appréhender, par des règles autonomes, les relations personnelles unissant ce tiers à l’enfant du parent dont il est le concubin, partenaire pacsé ou conjoint, de sexe différent ou de même sexe. Certes, l’incursion de ce tiers dans le mécanisme de l’autorité parentale ne saurait s’affranchir des principes directeurs du droit la famille : la coparentalité, l’indisponibilité de ladite autorité et l’impérieux respect de l’intérêt supérieur de l’enfant. Par la présente étude, il s’agit de mettre en exergue l’inopportunité, de lege lata, de l’identification du parent social par assimilation juridique et de l’en extirper en concevant un statut sui generis . Surgirait, de lege ferenda, le beau-parent statutaire
Among third parties gravitating around a child, French Family Law has difficulty recognizing the singularity of one of them: the one (he or she) who, being in relationship with a child’s parent, provides care for the latter to a certain extent.Whether he or she is bound to a family, or is part of it, this third party commonly named “stepparent” now seems to be known by some part of the positive Law (jurisprudence and doctrine) referred to as “social parent”.One can blame French Law for not succeeding in apprehending, with autonomous rules, these relationships between the third party and the child whose parent is his concubine, having registered a civil union or spouse as a same-sex couple or opposite sex. Indeed the incursion of this third party into the mechanism of parental authority should in no way free itself from the guiding principles of Family Law: joint parenthood /co-parenting; the unavailability of the so-called authority and the upmost respect of the best interest of the child. This study is aimed at highlighting the impropriety, of lege lata, of the identification of the social parent by legal assimilation removing it, thus conceiving a sui generis status. Therefore it might occur from lege ferenda, the statutory stepparent

Abstract:
Reported survival rates, dates of family breakup, and dispersal patterns for yearling and subadult bears in hunted black bear (Ursus americanus) populations in North America are scarce. We estimated survival rates of yearling and subadult black bears from a hunted population in western Virginia during 1999 - 2002. We captured and marked 307 different individual yearling and subadult bears on 2 study sites, and attached ear tag transmitters or radio collars to 54 (34M : 20F) 1-year-old, 52 (23M : 29F) 2-year-old, and 35 (8M : 27F) 3-year-old black bears. We used the known fate model in program MARK to estimate annual, non-hunting, and hunting season survival for radio-marked bears of each age and sex class. Additionally, we used mark-recapture data in the recaptures only, dead recoveries, and Burnham¡¯s combined models within program MARK to estimate annual survival for each age and sex class. One-, 2-, and 3-year-old female survivorship was 0.87 (95% C.I. 0.78 - 0.92), while 1-year male survivorship was 0.32 (95% C.I. 0.20 - 0.47), and 2- and 3-year-old male survivorship was 0.59 (95% C.I. 0.47 - 0.71) from the Burnham's combined model. Survival rates for 1-year-old females (¦à 2 = 6.20, P = 0.01) and 2-year-old females (¦à 2 = 7.74, P = 0.01) were higher than males in each age category, respectively. However, we detected no difference between 3-year-old females and 3-year-old males (¦à 2 = 2.61, P=0.11), likely due to small sample size of males (n = 4). Low yearling and subadult survival is not likely a cause for alarm due to the importance of adult female survival to population growth and the promiscuous mating system in black bear populations. Family breakup is an important event in the life history of black bears, marking the initial dispersal and home range construction of yearling bears, and perhaps marking the timing of estrus and breeding opportunities for adult females. We monitored 6 black bear family groups with 12 yearlings (6M : 6F) to determine the timing of family breakup; we intensely monitored 3 of the family groups to document home range establishment and movements by 5 subadult bears (2M : 3F) following separation from their mothers. Estimated dates of family breakup were 28 May and 2 June. Family breakups occurred before peak dates of estrus on our 2 western Virginia study areas. We detected 2 reassociations between a mother and her yearling offspring. Following family breakup, female yearlings (n = 3) remained within or partially on their mothers' home range while subadult males (n = 2) left their mothers' home ranges. All yearlings (n = 5) shared ¡à 50% of post-breakup home range with their mothers. We studied the movements of 31 (11M : 20F) subadult black bears born on our 2 study areas in western Virginia and 70 (44M : 26F) subadult bears captured during the summer on the study areas for dispersal. No radio-marked, resident, subadult female bears exhibited dispersal behavior while 3 of 11 (27%) radio-marked, resident, subadult males dispersed (P = 0.04). Resident and summer capture male bears moved greater distances than females from yearling den location (¦à 2 = 8.54, P = 0.01, df = 2) or summer capture location (¦à 2 = 22.02, P < 0.01, df = 2); no female moved > 10 km between initial and final locations (x = 2.7 km, range 0.2 - 9.0 km). The greatest subadult male movement was 80 km (x = 13.4 km, range 0.6 -0.80 km), and dispersal movements primarily occurred within the 1 and 2-year-old age classes. Direction of movement between initial and final locations for dispersing bears was not random (Rayleigh's r = 0.56, P = 0.02); bears appeared to follow the orientation of the predominant ridgelines and avoided leaving the national forest.

Introdução: A experiência da doença refere-se à maneira como as pessoas atingidas e os membros de sua família percebem, convivem e superam os desafios físicos e psicossociais dos sintomas dolorosos, da incapacidade e dos tratamentos, o que implica na experiência de conduzir a vida com e a partir da doença. A biografia das famílias experienciando a doença crônica da criança é capaz de revelar a complexidade das histórias de vida e a capacidade genuinamente humana de criar e recriar-se na adversidade, compondo um processo propulsor de respostas positivas. A asma é uma doença crônica que geralmente se inicia na infância e traz grande impacto para a vida da criança e de sua família. Objetivo: Esta pesquisa objetivou compreender a perspectiva da família sobre o que é conviver bem com a asma da criança. Método: O Interacionismo Simbólico foi o referencial teórico e o Interacionismo Interpretativo o metodológico. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas com nove famílias, que convivem com a asma da criança, captadas por meio do Ambulatório de Pediatria de um hospital universitário. Resultados: O processo de análise evidenciou três momentos vividos pela família em sua trajetória com a asma da criança: O Começo do Caminho, O Que Leva a Conviver Bem, e Conviver Bem: Tornar-se Maior que a Doença. Como experiências biográficas que afetaram profundamente a família e geraram modificações na significação, as epifanias, identificaram-se os ganhos percebidos em decorrência do caminho percorrido pela família. A partir das revelações de ganhos, a família pode caminhar de maneira intencional, buscando em cada ação um resultado específico que ela julga ser importante para sua convivência com a asma da criança. Conclusões: Compreender as definições simbólicas e interações familiares para resolver problemas e desenvolver uma nova percepção da realidade pode fornecer elementos conceituais relevantes para a intervenção de enfermagem no sentido de promover o bem-estar das famílias, vivendo a asma da criança
Introduction: The experience of illness refers to the way people and affected family members perceive, live and overcome the challenges of physical and psychosocial painful symptoms, disability, and treatment, which entails the experience to lead the life to and from the disease. The biography of families experiencing chronic illness the child is able to reveal the complexity of life histories and genuinely human ability to create and recreate themselves in adversity, composing a process thruster positive responses. Asthma is a chronic disease that usually begins in childhood and brings great impact to the life of the child and his family. Objective: This study aimed to understand the family perspective on what coping well with childhood asthma. Method: Symbolic Interactionism was the theoretical framework and the methodological Interpretive Interactionism. Data were collected through interviews with nine families living with childhood asthma, captured by the Ambulatory Pediatric Care of a university hospital. Results: The review process revealed three moments experienced by the family at their trajectory with childhood asthma: The Beginning of the Way, What Leads to Living Well, Living Well: Become Greater than the disease. How biographical experiences that profoundly affected the family and led to changes in meaning, the epiphanies, identified the perceived gains due to the path taken by the family. From the revelations of earnings, the family can walk intentionally, in every action seeking a specific result that it judges to be important to their coexistence with childhood asthma. Conclusions: Understanding the definitions symbolic and family interactions to solve problems and develop a new perception of reality can provide conceptual elements relevant to nursing intervention to promote the well-being of families, living the childhood asthma

Resumo: Esta pesquisa examina as políticas públicas brasileiras que facilitam a articulação trabalho-família, enfocando seu papel para o aproveitamento da janela de oportunidades demográfica em curso no País. Centralmente, argumenta-se que a ausência ou a escassa participação do Estado no compartilhamento das atividades familiares de assistência e cuidado com crianças pode gerar prejuízos a tal aproveitamento, seja por comprimir as possibilidades de engajamento produtivo das mulheres, seja por contribuir para a propagação dos riscos sociais de classe e intergeracionais que impactam negativamente as oportunidades das crianças. São analisadas as seguintes políticas de compartilhamento público das tarefas familiares de assistência aos menores de 6 anos: (i) as existentes na regulação do mundo do trabalho, basicamente, as garantias e direitos previstos na Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho (CLT) e na legislação previdenciária; (ii) os benefícios assistenciais a famílias com filhos, especificamente o Programa Bolsa Família (PBF); e (iii) o acesso a creches e pré-escolas. Examina-se o acesso da população a essas políticas, assim como o modelo de família sobre o qual repousam, implícita ou explicitamente. Nota-se que, a despeito do incremento no nível de compartilhamento público das tarefas de assistência e cuidado das crianças ocorrido principalmente a partir de 1988, a família ainda mantém-se como instituição primeira de gestão dos riscos sociais para parcela representativa da população. Ademais, o modelo de família subjacente aos serviços e benefícios analisados não os aproxima integralmente da diretriz constitucional da equidade de gênero, na medida em que mantém a vinculação entre o sexo feminino e as tarefas domésticas de cuidado.

Mainly, it's argued that the absence or scarce public child-care may harm the use of this opportunity, firstly, by comprising the possibilities of women productive insertion, and secondly, by contributing for the propagation of class and intergenerational risks that impact negatively on children opportunities. It's analyzed the following policies of public sharing of family assistance tasks to children under six years old: (i) the existing at the regulation of labor world, basically, the guarantees and rights present at the Labor Laws Consolidation (LLC) and at the laws of social welfare; (ii) the social benefits to family with children, specifically the Family-Grant Program (FGP); and (iii) the access to crèches and kindergarten. It's evaluated the population's access to these policies, so as the family model they are based upon, implicitly or explicitly. It's noted that, despite of the increase of the level of public sharing regarding children's assistance and care tasks, that took place principally after 1988, the family still is the main institution of management of social risks to a substantial share of population. Furthermore, the family model that underpins the services and benefits.

The work-family conflict is a frequent phenomenon in contemporary societies where men and women share family and professional responsibilities, its direction can be unidirectional or bidirectional, i.e., family to work, from work to family or simultaneously from sphere to another. It significantly affects family relationships and relationships in organizations, thus directly affects the well- being of individuals. This study is a quantitative and cross-sectional design. The criterion for the selection of participants was the convenience. The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between work-family conflict (WFC), subjective well- being (SWB) and well-being at work (WBW).The study involved the participation of 174 workers in a diverse sample of professionals in the private, public and NGO, with 52.9 por cento female, with average age from to 38.29 old years (SD=11.22). To obtain the data it was chosen chose a questionnaire covering all three study variables containing two scales to measure the dimensions of SWB, one of WBW and a scale to measure the WFC/FWC. For data analysis we used the SPSS, version 20. We calculated frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and correlation coefficients, as well as reliability coefficients of the measures used (Cronbachs alpha). The results showed a greater interference of work in the family than in family work. This interference was significant for well- being at work and for the subjective well-being by changing the job involvement and generating feelings of unhappiness, depression and anxiety about their personal achievements, and about the future. The higher the work-family conflict, the lower well- being at work and lower the subjective well-being of those participating.
O conflito trabalho-família é um fenômeno freqüente nas sociedades atuais em que homens e mulheres dividem responsabilidades familiares e profissionais. A sua direção pode ser unidirecional ou bidirecional, ou seja, da família para o trabalho, do trabalho para a família ou simultaneamente de uma esfera para outra, afetando sensivelmente as relações familiares e as relações nas organizações, sendo possível afetar diretamente o bem-estar dos indivíduos. Este é um estudo de natureza quantitativa e com desenho transversal. O critério para a escolha de participantes foi o de conveniência. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi analisar as relações entre conflito trabalho-família (CTF), bem-estar subjetivo (BES) e bem-estar no trabalho (BET). O estudo contou com a participação de 174 trabalhadores em uma amostra diversificada de profissionais do segmento privado, público e de ONG, sendo 52,9% do sexo feminino, com idade média de 38,29 anos (DP=11,22). Para a obtenção dos dados optou-se por um questionário abrangendo as três variáveis do estudo contendo duas escalas para aferir as dimensões de BES, uma escala para aferir BET e uma escala para aferir CTF/CFT. Para a análise dos dados foi usado o SPSS, versão 20. Foram calculadas frequências, percentuais, médias, desvios-padrão, e índices de correlação, bem como índices de precisão das medidas usadas (Alpha de Cronbach). Os resultados apontaram para uma maior interferência do trabalho na família do que da família no trabalho. Essa interferência foi significativa tanto para o bem-estar no trabalho, quanto para o bem-estar subjetivo, alterando o envolvimento com o trabalho e gerando sentimentos de infelicidade, desânimo e angústia em relação as suas realizações pessoais, e ao futuro. Quanto maior o conflito trabalho-família, menor é o bem-estar no trabalho e menor é o bem-estar subjetivo desses participantes.

AbstractIt was only since 1946 [1945] when my uncle moved to Berkeley that I got to know him well. Before this time we had never lived in the same town, and I had only seen him rarely. Otto Stern moved into a house he had bought several years earlier in the Berkeley hills not far from my parents’ house. Because he was a bachelor, he hired a housekeeper who came in six days a week for a few hours to cook and keep house. He loved good food and good wine. The housekeeper for the last years did not keep the house as clean as he would have liked, but her cooking met with his approval, so she stayed for many years. On Sundays, he would have dinner with his sister, Berta (my mother) and family, or he would go into town for dinner in a restaurant and then to a movie. He loved movies, and Shirley MacLaine was one of his favorite actresses.

Abstract:
AbstractThe intergenerational transmission of socio-economic status is driven to a significant extent through parents with higher socio-economic status providing advantages to their children as they move through the education system. At the same time, attainment of higher education credentials constitutes an important pathway for upwards social mobility among individuals from low socio-economic family backgrounds. Given the critical importance of higher education for socio-economic outcomes of children, this chapter focuses on young people’s journeys into and out of university. Drawing on the life course approach and opportunity pluralism theory, we present a conceptual model of the university student life cycle that splits individuals’ higher education trajectories into three distinct stages: access, participation and post-participation. Using this model as a guiding framework, we present a body of recent Australian evidence on differences in pathways through the higher education system among individuals from low and high socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds. In doing so, we pay attention to factors such as family material circumstances, students’ school experiences and post-school plans, and parental education and expectations—all of which constitute important barriers to access, participation and successful transitions out of higher education for low SES students. Overall, our results indicate that socio-economic background plays a significant role in shaping outcomes at various points of individual’s educational trajectories. This is manifested by lower chances amongst low-SES individuals to access and participate in higher education, and to find satisfying and secure employment post-graduation. Our findings bear important implications for educational and social policy.

Abstract:
Abstract We consider the optimal design of a beam. To improve the safety of a car during the crash, it is needed to dissipate the maximum of energy within a limited displacement but with a limited acceleration at the level of the driver/passengers. The beam may have different complex cells linked with continuous or spot solders. In a special office, they have to design a beam. In Germany, in United Kingdom, and also inside all the automotive industries, dedicated centers to test such beams were created. Other centers have developped numerical simulations. Usually, for each family of beams, a Design of Experiments is performed. It is necessary to find its optimal design. Until now, this was not possible, as the CRASH is a very complex problem and the tests or numerical simulations are too expensive to allow the succssive iterations.

Full text
Abstract:
A new family of exact closed-form solutions to the scalar Helmholtz equation is presented. The 0,0 order of this family represents a new mathematical model for the fundamental mode of a propagating Gaussian beam. The family consists of nonseparable functions in the oblate spheroidal coordinate system that are separable in a complex coordinate system and can easily be transformed to a different set of solutions in the prolate spheroidal coordinate system where the 0,0 order is a spherical wave. This transformation consists of two substitutions in the coordinate system parameters and represents a more general method of obtaining a Gaussian beam from a spherical wave than assuming a complex point source on-axis. Finally, each higher-order member of the family of solutions possesses a Gaussian amplitude along with a finite number of higher-order terms, all of which vary on propagation.

Abstract:
An approximate analytical model is utilized to examine the extension-twist coupling and torsional stiffness properties of star beams constructed with a new family of hygrothermally stable optimized stacking sequences. The relationship between axial force and the twist rate is used to quantify the results. The results show that there is a decrease in torsional rigidity corresponding to an increase in extension-twist coupling. The new stacking sequences allow for the addition of more substrips while maintaining comparable levels of extension-twist coupling with beams constructed from prior benchmark layups. This results in higher levels of torsional stiffness for comparable levels of extension-twist coupling in star beams made of the new optimized stacking sequences.

Abstract:
The design proposals Jørn Utzon completed for the structural resolution of t the Sydney Opera House (1956-57/completed1973), Kuwait National Assembly (1971-71/completed 1985)and Zurich Theatre (1964, unbuilt), examine the relationship between shape (structural profile) and material performance. Virtually, the roof modules of these projects consist of infinite numbers of structurally efficient profiles which are expressed through a geometric continuity. Using profile succession from ‘T’ to ‘’U”, among other combinations, Utzon explored the location of “material where it is structurally most useful” (M A Andersen 2014). These studies examine the analogue algorithm used by Ove Arup and Jørn Utzon to design the concourse beams (often called the “moment” beams) at the Sydney Opera House. The beam design is based on optimal material arrangement, in an attempt to unite form and structure: towards mid-span, where bending moment is greater, the beam cross-section assumes the shape of a “T” while the cross-section at the end conditions turns into a “U”. The surface geometry of the beam is defined by interpolating between these three conditions (U to T to U), resulting in a fluid, doubly curved geometry that ranges between these two shapes, thereby creating a ‘family’ of shapes.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents a p-version geometrically nonlinear formulation (GNL) based on total Lagrangian approach for a three node two dimensional curved beam element. The hierarchical element approximation functions and the corresponding nodal variables are derived directly from the Lagrange family of interpolation functions. The resulting element displacement approximation is hierarchical and can be of arbitrary and different polynomial orders in the longitudinal and the transverse directions of the beam element and ensures C0 continuity. The element geometry is described by the coordinates of the nodes located on the axis of the beam (middle surface) and the nodal vectors describing the top and bottom surfaces of the element. The element properties are established using the principle of virtual work and the hierarchical element displacement approximation. In formulating the properties of the element complete two dimensional stresses and strains are considered hence the element is equally effective for very slender as well as extremely deep beams. Incremental equations of equilibrium are derived and solved using the standard Newton-Raphson method. The total load is divided into increments, and for each increment of load, equilibrium iterations are performed until each component of the residuals is within a preset tolerance. Numerical examples are presented to show the accuracy, efficiency and advantages of the present formulation. The results obtained from the present formulation are compared with those reported in the literature. The formulation presented here removes virtually all of the drawbacks present in the existing GNL beam finite element formulations and has many additional benefits. First, the currently available GNL beam formulations are based on fixed order of approximation for the displacements and thus are not hierarchical and have no provision for changing the order of approximation for the displacements u and v. Secondly, the element displacement approximations in the existing formulations are either based on linearized displacement field for which a true Lagrangian formulation is not possible and the incremental load step size is severely limited or are based on nonlinear nodal rotation function approach in which case even though the description of displacement for the element is exact but additional complications arise due to the noncummutative nature of nonlinear nodal rotation functions. The p-version displacement approximation used here does not involve traditional nodal rotations that have been used in the existing beam formulations, thus the difficulties associated with their use are not present in this formulation.

This book enumerates the diversity in the prevalence and use of vegetables in parts of Myanmar. It draws on our field studies in Myanmar, where we encountered people consuming interesting plant species as vegetables. For example, we saw parts of the moorva dregea (Wattakaka volubilis), belonging to the family Apocyanaceae, and jengkol (Archidendron pauciflorum), belonging to the family Fabaceae, being consumed as vegetables. These plants are generally considered poisonous by scientists. Likewise, the roots of the winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) and the seedlings of the wine palm (Borassus flabellifer), which have a pungent taste, are very popular vegetables in the dry season in Myanmar. Tea is a globally well-known and widely-consumed beverage. However, in Myanmar, Pu’er tea (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) is consumed as a beverage and a vegetable. The leaf that is consumed as a vegetable is fermented and preserved.

Abstract:
Climate change is a pressing issue, affecting the lives of all people across the world. However, poorer and excluded communities are usually more affected, especially in low-income countries. Among them, women but particularly indigenous groups in rural areas seem to bear the bulk of the impacts produced by climate change and its many manifestations. We study the relationship between droughts and incomes and labor market outcomes in Chile over the period 1990-2017, focusing in particular on indigenous women. Our results show that overall indigenous women are the group most severely affected by droughts, decreasing their income, their probability of working in agriculture, and increasing their likelihood of working as an unpaid family worker or being out of the labor force. Results are robust to the use of different variables to measure droughts and to different econometric specifications. Our study corroborates the existence of marked heterogenous effects of climate change on different population groups and the vulnerability of indigenous communities to these shocks.

Abstract:
Everyone wants to be happy. Over the ages, tracts of the ancient moral philosophers – Plato, Aristotle, Confucius – have probed the question of happiness. The stirring words in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence that established ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness’ as ‘unalienable Rights’ served as the inspiration that launched a nation, the United States of America. Yet, more than 240 years later, the relationship between government’s objectives and human happiness is not straightforward, even over the matters of whether it can and should be a government aim. We approach this question not as philosophers, but as social scientists seeking to understand happiness through data. Our work in these pages is intended to enhance understanding of how the well-being of individuals and societies is affected by myriad forces, among them: income, inflation, governance, genes, inflation, inequality, bereavement, biology, aspirations, unemployment, recession, economic growth, life expectancies, infant mortality, war and conflict, family and social networks, and mental and physical health and health care. Our report suggests the ways in which this information might be brought to bear to rethink traditional aims and definitions of socioeconomic progress, and to create a better – and, yes, happier – world. We explain what the data say to us: our times demand new approaches. Foreword by Richard Easterlin; Introduced by Diane Coyle.

Full text
Abstract:
While we are exposed to the physical effects of natural hazard processes, certain groups within a community often bear a disproportionate share of the negative consequences when a disaster strikes. This study addresses questions of why some places and population groups in Canada are more vulnerable to natural hazard processes than others, who is most likely to bear the greatest burden of risk within a given community or region, and what are the underlying factors that disproportionally affect the capacities of individuals and groups to withstand, cope with, and recover from the impacts and downstream consequences of a disaster. Our assessment of social vulnerability is based on principles and analytic methods established as part of the Hazards of Place model (Hewitt et al., 1971; Cutter, 1996), and a corresponding framework of indicators derived from demographic information compiled as part of the 2016 national census. Social determinants of hazard threat are evaluated in the context of backbone patterns that are associated with different types of human settlement (i.e., metropolitan, rural, and remote), and more detailed patterns of land use that reflect physical characteristics of the built environment and related functions that support the day-to-day needs of residents and businesses at the community level. Underlying factors that contribute to regional patterns of social vulnerability are evaluated through the lens of family structure and level of community connectedness (social capital); the ability of individuals and groups to take actions on their own to manage the outcomes of unexpected hazard events (autonomy); shelter conditions that will influence the relative degree of household displacement and reliance on emergency services (housing); and the economic means to sustain the requirements of day-to-day living (e.g., shelter, food, water, basic services) during periods of disruption that can affect employment and other sources of income (financial agency). Results of this study build on and contribute to ongoing research and development efforts within Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to better understand the social and physical determinants of natural hazard risk in support of emergency management and broader dimensions of disaster resilience planning that are undertaken at a community level. Analytic methods and results described in this study are made available as part of an Open Source platform and provide a base of evidence that will be relevant to emergency planners, local authorities and supporting organizations responsible for managing the immediate physical impacts of natural hazard events in Canada, and planners responsible for the integration of disaster resilience principles into the broader context of sustainable land use and community development at the municipal level.

Abstract:
Maternal, reproductive, and newborn health (MRNH) is a key determinant of the opportunities that women and their children will have in life. MRNH includes a woman's right to safely bear children and to freely decide whether to have them, how many to have, and when. Gender equity in health refers to the absence of avoidable differences between men and women in access to health care and in the probability of suffering illness, incapacity, or premature death. It requires overcoming unfair and avoidable disparities between men and women in, for example, health outcomes, access to services and resources, and distribution of health care responsibilities in the family and community.
