Abstract:
In the spirit of classic rock physics, and as an ideal foundation for conventional quantitative interpretation workflows, we consider several popular models relating elastic rock properties to their composition, microstructure, and effective stress on the background of a worldwide log data set, incorporating sands and shales characterized by the maximum dynamic impedance range. We demonstrate that the patchy cement model, ellipsoidal inclusion model, and siliciclastic diagenesis model may be calibrated successfully against the world data set and used in seismic rock property log restoration/editing. We also demonstrate that some of these models present obvious challenges in terms of the information derived from quantitative seismic interpretation. Notably, the key input parameters used in these rock-physics models may show little resemblance to the rock parameters actually observed in geologic studies. Replacing the true rock parameters with the effective ones may do disservice to the science of rock physics in general.

Abstract:
AbstractBy drawing on Jean Baudrillard’s cultural theory this paper aims to show how contemporary popular culture tells the stories of scientifically talented women of the past. In the course of my argument, I refer to books and films set in the past and focus on the women-and-science motif. Firstly, the stories of individual female scientists living long ago are analysed (Mileva Einstein, Joan Clarke), then, the collective female protagonists – wives of scientists living together in “togethervilles” (Los Alamos, Atomic City), and women scientists pictured in speculative fiction – are discussed. The cliches used in these texts – lonely forgotten geniuses, female worthies taken advantage of, ostracised women accused of not being feminine enough and devoted wives who help their men and their countries in World Wars I and II or the Cold War – reflect ideologies that Western culture used to believe in. Conversely, the two original presentations of past female scientists that I found both come from speculative fiction concerned with science and heavily influenced by the ideologies of science: science and pacifism, science and a sense of guilt, and science as a weapon in the quest for democracy and freedom.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates quantum physics narratives for non-physicists, covering four interlocking modes of writing for adults and children, fictional and nonfictional, from 1900 to the present. It brings together three separate scholarly fields: literature and science, science fiction, and science communication. The thesis has revealed parallels between the approaches to quantum physics in these disparate narratives that have not been addressed before, shedding new light on the mutual influences between science and narrative form. The thesis argues that similar narrative tropes have been employed in popular science writing and in fiction across all age groups, changing non-physicists' ideas of quantum physics. This understanding differs significantly from the professional understanding of quantum physics, as I establish by means of a series of case studies, including popular science books for adults by Alastair I.M. Rae, George Gamow and Robert Gilmore; popularizations for children by Lucy and Stephen Hawking, Russell Stannard, and Otto Fong; children's fiction by Philip Pullman and Madeleine L'Engle; and fiction for adults by Greg Egan, David Walton, Blake Crouch, and Iain Pears. An analysis of authors who wrote for various audiences or in multiple genres, such as Fred Hoyle, Stephen Hawking, and Ian Stewart, shows how the same concerns and conflicts surface in a wide range of stories. Quantum physics is not yet fully understood; the Copenhagen, conscious collapse, many-worlds and other interpretations compete for both scientific and public acceptance. Influential physics communicators such as John Gribbin and Brian Cox have written popularizations in which they express a personal preference for one interpretation, arguing against others. Scientific conflict, which tends to be omitted from university teaching, is thus explicitly present in popularizations, making it clear to the reader that quantum physics is in a constant state of flux. I investigate the conflicts between Fred Hoyle and George Gamow, and Stephen Hawking and Leonard Susskind, to see how they undermine the alleged objectivity of science. The interplay between the different stories of quantum physics shows how the science not only shapes the stories: the stories shape the science, too.

Abstract:
The first four decades of the twentieth century was a period of rapid development in physics. The late nineteenth century discoveries of X-rays, Becquerel rays and subatomic particles had revealed new properties of matter, and the early twentieth century quantum and relativity theories added to the notion that the discipline was undergoing a fundamental change in thought and practice. Historians and scientists alike have retrospectively conceived of a sharp divide between nineteenth century and twentieth century physics, applying the terms ‘classical’ and ‘modern’ to distinguish between these two practices. However, recent scholarship has suggested that early twentieth century physicists did not see this divide as self-evident, and in fact were responsible for consciously constructing these categories and definitions. This thesis explores the creation of the terms ‘classical’ and ‘modern’ physics in Britain, and the physicists responsible. I consider how these terms were employed in ‘public’ arenas (lectures, books, newspapers, museums) influencing the wider reception of ‘modern’ physics. I consider not only the rhetorics employed by ‘modern’ physicists, but also those we would now consider to be ‘classical’, revealing a diverse range of potential definitions of ‘modern’ physics. Furthermore, even within the ‘modernists’ themselves, there was considerable disagreement over how their work was to be presented, as industrially applicable, or of value simply as intellectual knowledge in and of itself. There were also different notions of how scientific ‘progress’ should be portrayed, whether knowledge advanced through experimental refinement or theoretical work. Early twentieth century ‘modern’ physics appeared to discard long held theories, rejecting much of the discipline’s past. As such, physicists’ connection to the legacy of Newton was under threat. Furthermore, the instability of science more generally was revealed: if physicists had shown the old theories to be wrong, then why should the new ones be any different? This had severe implications as to how the public placed ‘trust’ in science. I explore how physicists carefully managed the ‘public’ transition from ‘classical’ to ‘modern’ physics, regaining public trust during a period of scientific ‘revolution’ and controversy.

Abstract:
N'importe quel liquide peut etre refroidi au-dessous de sa temperature de cristallisation sans se cristalliser en devenant un liquide surfondu. Ces proprietes statiques sont les continuations analytiques de celles d'un liquide ordinaire. Par contre la dynamique montre un ralentissement dramatique qu'on apelle la transition vitreuse: le temps de relaxation croit de picoseconds au voisinage de la transition de cristallisation au temps macroscopique pour les basses temperatures. Comprehension et explication de ce comportement des liquides surfondus a basses temperatures est l'un des problemes ouverts de mecanique statistique hors d'equilibre. Les scenarios divers ont ete proposes pour expliquer ce comportement des liquides surfondus. Dans cette th`ese nous adoptons celui base sur l'analyse des modeles de verres de spins generalises et la Theorie de Couplage de Modes (MCT). Ce scenario reproduit bien le ralentissement initial de la dynamique. Cependant il predit une transition spurieuse vers une phase non-ergodique pour les basses temperatures. C a pose un probleme naturel: comment peut-t-on generaliser le modele afin de reproduire le comportement aux basses temperatures observe et eliminer la transition ? Le but principal de la these etait de construire une telle generalisation. Il est suppose de facon generale que c'est les corrections aux MCT qui modifient la theorie aux basses temperatures. Cependant le defaut principal de MCT est la nature incontrolee de l'approximation qui amene a MCT ce qui fait le calcul des corrections a MCT un probleme quasiment insoluble. Un methode promettant pour contourner cette difficulte est la rederivation de MCT dans le contexte d'une theorie de champs. La revision des essaies precedents a releve leur inconsistance a cause d'une violation de la symetrie par rapport de renversement de temps (TRS) dans les series perturbatives. La solution de ce probleme amene a une rederivation correcte de MCT et donne des series perturbatives respectantes TRS. Cette construction permet de verifier directement la stabilite structurelle de MCT ce qui permet de repondre a une question principale de la theorie: Est ce que la transition est coupee par dans le cadre d'une approximation plus astucieuse ou il y a des raisons plus fondamentales ? Le reponse est que MCT n'est qu'une theorie de champ moyen et, par consequence, les corrections pertrubatives sont irrelevantes. Dans le meme contexte on etudie aussi le mapping des liquides surfondus sur les systemes de reaction-diffusion. Les resultats donnes au-dessus sont valables au-dessus de la transition vitreuse i.e pour les liquides en equilibre. Dans la derniere chapitre on etudie la generalisation de ces resultats aux basses temperatures ou le systeme n'atteint jamais l'equilibre pendant l'observation et le temps relaxation est, effectivement, infini. L'analyse est plus complique dans ce cas car des nouveaux phenomene, comme le vieillissement des proprietes physique, apparaissent.

Abstract:
In recent years superhero movies have skyrocketed in popularity, bringing with them plots and characters that tend to exhibit high levels of aggression. As social learners, humans often learn from what they observe, and especially emulate characters they admire – including fictional superheroes and villains. Consequently, this study content analyzed non-physical aggressions (verbal aggression, relational aggression, and violent ideation) in the top 25 highest grossing superhero movies between 2005 and 2015. Results found an average of 171.8 acts of non-physical aggression per movie. Females in these movies were also significantly more likely to engage in verbal and relational aggressions, which contributes to gender stereotypes about aggression. Unfortunately, due to a failure in intercoder reliability testing, these results are unreliable.

Abstract:
Ecotourism is a common conservation and development strategy in the Maya, Forest region. New sites of ecotourism consumption, such as El Rematé near Tikal National Park in Guatemala, are developing in response to consumer demand for budget accommodations in this attractive cultural and natural setting. This study analyzes new ecotourism infrastructure developments in El Rematé for signs that this tourism draws on ecological imagery as expressed in popular media - or popular ecology - not on the natural and cultural ecology of the region that is the target of international conservation efforts. Analysis suggests that ecotourism entrepreneurs who effectively associate their product with texts of popular ecology will out-compete the community ecotourism projects supported by the non-governmental organizations managing the Biosphere Reserves in the region, challenging the success of international conservation and development strategies.

Climate change, global warming, possible anthropogenic effects on climate processes due to a rapid growth of industry and agriculture are the most popular themes under discussion among the ecological problems. One of the most important issues in climatology yet undecided is whether the recent climate warming affects the deep ocean which may become the major long-term incoming heat flux from the atmosphere? After all, the state of the atmosphere depends to a great extent on the ocean the mass of which is 270 times as great as the mass of the atmosphere and heat capacity is 1,000 times as great. Hence, the ocean is the basic heat, greenhouse gas and moisture source and flux for the atmosphere.

Abstract:
Virtual environments (VE) are becoming a popular way to interact with virtual objects in several applications such as design, training, planning, etc. Physics simulation engines (PSE) used in games development can be used to increase the realism in virtual environments (VE) by enabling the virtual objects with dynamic behavior and collision detection. There exist several PSE available to be integrated with VE, each PSE uses different model representation methods to create the collision shape and compute virtual object dynamic behavior. The performance of physics based VEs is directly related to the PSE ability and its method to represent virtual objects. This paper analyzes different freely available PSEs — Bullet and the two latest versions of PhysX (v2.8 and 3.1) — based on their model representation algorithms, and evaluates them by performing various assembly tasks with different geometry complexity. The evaluation is based on the collision detection performance and their influence on haptic-virtual assembly process. The results have allowed the identification of the strengths and weaknesses of each PSE according to its representation method.

Abstract:
Physics Education is a popular application for Virtual Reality (VR), with many simulations being available for students to manipulate objects in virtual space. However, most of these applications take a Piagetian approach to learning, instructing first in a traditional way and then exposing students to VR in a sandbox environment without the instructor present. This paper proposes a design for a VR physics simulation that takes a Vygotskian approach using Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and scaffolding to teaching physics, allowing the students and instructor to collaborate in virtual space. Using gravity and circular motion as a case study, this paper discusses a design to facilitate this learning comprising a virtual universe with control of planet placement and size, external satellite placement and size, as well as gravitational forces acting on these objects, along with a design-based research (DBR) research design to evaluate both usability and learning for the intervention.

Abstract:
We present the development of a three-dimensional Vehicle/Tire/Terrain Interaction Model (VTTIM) consisting of a general 3D tire-terrain traction model which operates on a novel deformable terrain representation that utilizes a soil compaction model. Rather than utilizing popular empirical terramechanics models that only consider the pressure/sinkage directly under the tire, the governing equations of the terrain are based on i) the propagation of subsoil stresses due to vehicular loads, and ii) the resulting stress/strain which is based on a visco-elastic-plastic soil model developed by Ayers and Bozdech. The implementation of the terrain model is modularized in the form of an API, as the vehicle and tire are assumed to be contained in commercial simulation software as to focus on the implementation of the deformable terrain model. A number of test simulations are run using a rigid tire with and without grousers to show the capability of the VTTIM to predict tire forces for use in vehicle mobility and traction performance simulations. Power and energy required to deform the terrain will also be presented with the simulation results, which allows the prediction of the extra power required by a vehicle traveling on off-road, deformable soil.

Abstract:
A new FBR lattice physics code GALAXY-H has been developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI). GALAXY-H is a hexagonal version of GALAXY, which is a two dimensional transport calculation code for PWR assembly. GALAXY-H generates assembly nuclear constants used in the FBR core calculation code. The methodology of flux calculation for GALAXY-H is based on the method of characteristics (MOC) as well as GALAXY. The fuel assemblies of Japanese demonstrated and commercial FBRs are intended to contain the inner duct called FAIDUS where molten fuel is removed to prevent re-critical at severe accident. One of the objectives for developing GALAXY-H is to treat the inner duct and wrapper tube configurations exactly. In this paper, the method generating nuclear constants of control rod assembly is developed with multi-assembly model to exclude the super-cell model that has been used in FBR design so far. Besides, GALAXY-H employs the SPH method for reduction of homogenization error, which is popular method in LWR design. From this, the advanced nuclear constants calculation method for FBR control rod assembly is developed and the basic applicability of FBR nuclear design by using GALAXY-H is confirmed.

Abstract:
The application of constructive geometric modeling to pedagogical models of teaching graphic disciplines today is a promising direction for using computer technology in the educational process of educational institutions.&#x0D; The essence of the method of constructive geometric modeling is to represent any operation performed on geometric objects in the form of a transformation, as a result of which some constructive connection is established, and the transformation itself can be considered as a result of the action of an abstract cybernetic device.&#x0D; Constructive geometric modeling is a popular information tool for information processing in various applied areas, however, this tool cannot be appreciated without the presence of appropriate software systems and developed design techniques. Traditionally, constructive geometric modeling is used in the design of mechanical engineering, energy, aircraft and shipbuilding facilities, in architectural and design engineering.&#x0D; The need to study descriptive geometry at the university in recent years has something in common with the issues of mastering graphic packages of computer programs in the framework of the new discipline "Engineering and Computer Graphics". The well-known KOMPAS software product is considered the simplest and most attractive for training. It should be noted the important role of graphic packages in the teaching of geometric disciplines that require a figurative perception of the material by students. Against the background of a reduction in classroom hours, computer graphics packages are practically the only productive teaching methodology, successfully replacing traditional tools - chalk and blackboard.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents an approach to evaluating producibility intended to enhance the ability of engineers to quickly design low-cost and high-quality parts. We divide all production processes into two categories: trajectory-dominated processes in which a generic tool is moved in a trajectory to form the part-shape and process-physics-dominated processes in which shaped tools are used to form similarly shaped parts. We focus on process-physics-dominated processes and on producibility problems that arise because of part shape. We argue that, for these processes, the currently popular approach of representing parts as collections of geometric features is inappropriate for evaluating producibility. We propose an alternative approach and representation. Our approach consists of first identifying the different failure modes of the process and then defining producibility metrics corresponding to the likelihood of encountering each failure mode. This set of metrics is used to represent the degree to which a part is easily manufactured. Finally, we demonstrate this approach by developing a set of metrics for evaluating the producibility of aluminum extrusions. We use extrusions from the Boeing 777 to validate the metrics.

Abstract:
The article investigates functional techniques of extralinguistic expression in multimedia texts; the effectiveness of figurative expressions as a reaction to modern events in Ukraine and their influence on the formation of public opinion is shown. Publications of journalists, broadcasts of media resonators, experts, public figures, politicians, readers are analyzed. The language of the media plays a key role in shaping the worldview of the young political elite in the first place. The essence of each statement is a focused thought that reacts to events in the world or in one’s own country. The most popular platform for mass information and social interaction is, first of all, network journalism, which is characterized by mobility and unlimited time and space. Authors have complete freedom to express their views in direct language, including their own word formation. Phonetic, lexical, phraseological and stylistic means of speech create expression of the text. A figurative word, a good aphorism or proverb, a paraphrased expression, etc. enhance the effectiveness of a multimedia text. This is especially important for headlines that simultaneously inform and influence the views of millions of readers. Given the wide range of issues raised by the Internet as a medium, research in this area is interdisciplinary. The science of information, combining language and social communication, is at the forefront of global interactions. The Internet is an effective source of knowledge and a forum for free thought. Nonlinear texts (hypertexts) – «branching texts or texts that perform actions on request», multimedia texts change the principles of information collection, storage and dissemination, involving billions of readers in the discussion of global issues. Mastering the word is not an easy task if the author of the publication is not well-read, is not deep in the topic, does not know the psychology of the audience for which he writes. Therefore, the study of media broadcasting is an important component of the professional training of future journalists. The functions of the language of the media require the authors to make the right statements and convincing arguments in the text. Journalism education is not only knowledge of imperative and dispositive norms, but also apodictic ones. In practice, this means that there are rules in media creativity that are based on logical necessity. Apodicticity is the first sign of impressive language on the platform of print or electronic media. Social expression is a combination of creative abilities and linguistic competencies that a journalist realizes in his activity. Creative self-expression is realized in a set of many important factors in the media: the choice of topic, convincing arguments, logical presentation of ideas and deep philological education. Linguistic art, in contrast to painting, music, sculpture, accumulates all visual, auditory, tactile and empathic sensations in a universal sign – the word. The choice of the word for the reproduction of sensory and semantic meanings, its competent use in the appropriate context distinguishes the journalist-intellectual from other participants in forums, round tables, analytical or entertainment programs. Expressive speech in the media is a product of the intellect (ability to think) of all those who write on socio-political or economic topics. In the same plane with him – intelligence (awareness, prudence), the first sign of which (according to Ivan Ogienko) is a good knowledge of the language. Intellectual language is an important means of organizing a journalistic text. It, on the one hand, logically conveys the author’s thoughts, and on the other – encourages the reader to reflect and comprehend what is read. The richness of language is accumulated through continuous self-education and interesting communication. Studies of social expression as an important factor influencing the formation of public consciousness should open up new facets of rational and emotional media broadcasting; to trace physical and psychological reactions to communicative mimicry in the media. Speech mimicry as one of the methods of disguise is increasingly becoming a dangerous factor in manipulating the media. Mimicry is an unprincipled adaptation to the surrounding social conditions; one of the most famous examples of an animal characterized by mimicry (change of protective color and shape) is a chameleon. In a figurative sense, chameleons are called adaptive journalists. Observations show that mimicry in politics is to some extent a kind of game that, like every game, is always conditional and artificial.
