Full textAbstract:
The Fourth Amendment protects the “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” The understanding of these words seems to shift as new technologies emerge. As law enforcement’s arsenal of surveillance techniques has grown to include GPS tracking, cell phones, and cell site location information (CSLI), the Supreme Court has applied Fourth Amendment protections to these modern tools. Law enforcement continues to use one pervasive surveillance technique without limitations: the routine collection of DNA. In 2013, the Supreme Court in Maryland v. King held that law enforcement may routinely collect DNA upon arrest for a serious crime. This Note discusses the routine collection of DNA and how it ought to be situated within evolving Fourth Amendment doctrine. Given the nature of DNA and growing DNA databases, law enforcement use of DNA—like its use of other surveillance technologies—should be limited by the Fourth Amendment. DNA collection may not fit neatly within Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, but neither did cell phones, GPS tracking devices, or CSLI when the Court chose to include them under such protections.

AbstractA space S has property P-1 if S is nonempty. For n > — 1, S has property Pn if it is locally connected, has property Pn-1 and if whenever it is written as a union, S = A ∪ B where each of A and B is closed and has property Pn-1, then A ∩ B also has property Pn-1. The purpose of this paper is to establish that for locally compact spaces, each of the properties Pn is both cyclicly extensible and reducible.

Full textAbstract:
Violence by children and young people against their parents, often described as parent abuse, is a problem that has been less recognised and researched than other forms of family violence. The present study explored a distinct form of parent abuse - that being the causing of intentional loss of, or damage to, parental property, referred to as Domestic Property Violence (DPV). A questionnaire was designed to gather quantitative data on what gets damaged, how often, and by whom. Additionally, rich, qualitative information about how parents made meaning of their experiences and how they were affected by, and responded to, DPV was gathered using in-depth interviews with 14 participants, and later analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Although the questionnaire attracted just 30 responses, this information was used to inform the subsequent qualitative phase of the research. When combined, the quantitative and qualitative data demonstrated that DPV happens in some families, and when it does, it has the potential to cause significant financial, emotional, and relational harm. An ecological meaning - making theoretical framework emerged from the data and illuminated connections between social and cultural influences on personal theories of causation, impacts, and responses to DPV, including help seeking. The findings of the present study have important implications for supporting parents experiencing DPV and other forms of parent abuse. Help seeking was shown to not always be a positive experience, particularly when help was not available, the problem was viewed as trivial, or parents were made to feel they were wholly responsible for their children's misconduct. Conversely, parents benefited from services that offered an opportunity for private disclosure without critical judgement, practical advice, and support. One objective of the research was to increase awareness of the many and complex causes and impacts of parent abuse, and the wide range of families that may be affected, in order to promote better screening within health and social support services.

The result is an unequal battle between access to knowledge and enclosure favouring the latter over the former. Such an unbalanced scenario chiefly affects the South, but has implications for the public everywhere. The Development Agenda being proposed for adoption by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and which has been advocated for and designed by developing countries governments in collaboration with a coalition of governments, academics, civil society and public interest NGOs from both North and South, is the latest attempt to bring a balance to this scenario. However, the Development Agenda is encountering opposition and despite the unique nature of the coalition backing it, the outcome is uncertain.

Full textAbstract:
Кривенко, О. М. Кримінально-правова характеристика грабежу : випускна кваліфікаційна робота : 081 «Право» / О. М. Кривенко ; керівник роботи О. В. Селецький ; НУ "Чернігівська політехніка", кафедра кримінального права та правосуддя . – Чернігів, 2021. – 78 с.<br>Актуальність дослідження полягає в тому, що грабіж є одним із найнебезпечніших насильницько-корисливих кримінальних правопорушень у будь-якій країні світу, в тому числі і в Україні. Це зумовлено тим, що при грабежі посягання на основний об’єкт здійснюється шляхом посягання на особу, її життя, здоров’я, а також власність. Незважаючи на тенденцію зниження впродовж останніх років, грабежі є кримінальними правопорушеннями, які суттєво впливають на кримінальну ситуацію в Україні. Це свідчить про широкий спектр дії цього злочинного діяння на різні сфери суспільного життя. У першому розділі досліджується історичний розвиток поняття «грабіж» у кримінально-правовому аспекті та розкривається поняття та ознаки грабежу. У другому розділі аналізуються об’єктивні та суб’єктивні ознаки складу кримінального правопорушення грабіж. У третьому розділі досліджено відмежування грабежу від суміжних складів кримінальних правопорушень та проаналізовано судову практику про розбій. Розкрито кримінальну відповідальність за грабіж у законодавстві зарубіжних країн та запропоновано шляхи вдосконалення ст. 186 Кримінального кодексу України. Наукова новизна роботи. Доведено, що у КК України грабіж відноситься до кримінальних правопорушень проти власності і його поширення властиве суспільству під час нестабільності в його соціально-економічному та політичному розвитку; дістало подальшого розвитку положення про те, що правильна кваліфікація ознак, що характеризують грабіж, надасть можливість уникнути помилок у слідчо-судовій практиці та ефективно протидіяти грабежу; запpoпoновано викласти ч. 1 ст. 186 в такій редакції: «Відкрите протиправне заволодіння чужим майном (грабіж)»; запpoпoновано загальнонаціональні заходи запобігання грабежам. Основні положення і висновки роботи обговорювалися за круглим столом на тему: «Правова система України: сучасний вимір». Основні результати проведеного дослідження викладені у одній науковій праці.<br>The study's relevance is that robbery is one of the most dangerous violent and mercenary criminal offences in any country globally, including Ukraine. In case of robbery, the encroachment on the main object is carried out by encroachment on the person, his life, health, and property. Despite the downward trend in recent years, robbery is a criminal offence that significantly affects the criminal situation in Ukraine. It testifies to a wide range of actions of this criminal act on various spheres of public life. The first chapter examines the historical development of the concept of "robbery" in the criminal law aspect and reveals the concept and signs of robbery. The second section analyzes the objective and subjective signs of the criminal offence of robbery. The third section examines the delimitation of robbery from related elements of criminal offences and analyzes judicial practice on robbery. The criminal liability for robbery in the legislation of foreign countries is revealed and the ways of improvement of Art. 186 of the Criminal code of Ukraine. The scientific novelty of the work. It is proved that in the Criminal Code of Ukraine, robbery refers to criminal offences against property, and its spread is inherent in society during instability in its socio-economic and political development; further developed the provision that the correct qualification of the signs that characterize the robbery will provide an opportunity to avoid errors in investigative and judicial practice and effectively combat robbery; It is proposed to state Part 1 of Art. 186 in the following wording: "Open illegal seizure of another's property (robbery)"; national robbery prevention measures have been proposed. The main provisions and conclusions of the work were discussed at a round table on the topic: "The legal system of Ukraine: the modern dimension." The main results of the study are presented in one scientific work.

Full textAbstract:
Le préjudice est une notion qui appartient classiquement à la matière civile. Figuretraditionnelle et incontournable de cette discipline, le préjudice suscite aujourd’hui l’engouement desspécialistes de la matière. Face à ce phénomène, les pénalistes sont légitimes à s’interroger sur laplace du préjudice en droit pénal. Si le concept est peu utilisé dans cette matière, il n’est toutefois pastotalement inconnu. Cependant, l’étude du préjudice en droit pénal devra révéler l’absence de placepour cette notion en droit répressif. Cette différence entre le droit civil et le droit pénal s’explique parles finalités distinctes qui animent les deux disciplines. Alors que le droit civil a pour objectif laréparation des préjudices soufferts individuellement, le droit pénal est guidé par l’impératif deprotection de l’intérêt général par le maintien de l’ordre public.Ainsi, le préjudice n’a, d’une part, pas de place dans la théorie de l’infraction. Il n’est pris encompte ni dans le processus de création des incriminations, ni dans celui de leur qualification. Lepréjudice n’est pas un élément constitutif de l’infraction, et n’équivaut ainsi pas au résultatinfractionnel. D’autre part, le préjudice n’a qu’une place limitée dans la théorie de l’action en droitpénal. S’il apparaît comme une condition de recevabilité de l’action civile exercée devant lesjuridictions répressives, c’est parce que celle-ci se présente comme une action en responsabilitécivile, à vocation uniquement réparatrice. En revanche, le préjudice n’est pas une condition de l’actionpénale en répression de l’infraction<br>The notion of prejudice habitually falls within the boundaries of civil law. As a traditionaland inescapable feature of this discipline, prejudice is today sparking off heated debates amongspecialists. Confronted with this new trend, criminal law experts can rightfully wonder about the placeof prejudice in criminal law. If the concept is little used in this law area, it is nonetheless not totallyunknown. However, the study of prejudice in criminal law will have to prove the irrelevance of thisnotion in that regard. This difference between civil and criminal law can be accounted for by thedistinct purposes of these two areas of the law. Whereas civil law aims at seeking redress for harminflicted on individuals, criminal law is guided by the imperative need to protect general interestthrough the maintenance of law and order.Thus, prejudice does not fall within the scope of the criminal offence theory. It is neither taken intoaccount in the process of defining offences by the lawmaker nor in the classification of the offence bythe trial court. Prejudice is not a constituent part of the infringement and thus is not tantamount to itsoutcome. Furthermore, the notion of prejudice plays a limited role in the theory of criminal lawprocedure. If prejudice appears as a condition governing the admissibility of a civil action brought incourt it is because it is perceived as a legal action for damages, for the sole purpose of monetarycompensation. On the other hand, prejudice is not a condition for criminal proceedings with thepurpose of punishing the offence

Salvestro, Denise Yvonne. "Printmaking by Yolngu artists of Northeast Arnhem Land: 'Another way of telling our stories'." Phd thesis, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/110680.
Full textAbstract:
Art plays a fundamental role in the lives of the Yolngu—the Indigenous people of Northeast Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. Knowledge of their culture, laws, history and relationship to country has historically been passed on to successive generations orally and through their clan specific patterns and designs (miny’tji). Since first known contact with the outside world Yolngu artists have demonstrated innovation in adapting their art, and adopting introduced materials and techniques, to create art for the purpose of passing on knowledge and enlightening others about their ontology, culture and title to land. This thesis provides the first comprehensive history of the introduction to, and use of the print medium by the artists of Northeast Arnhem Land with a focus on those artists working at the Print Space at the Buku Larrnggay Mulka Art Centre at Yirrkala. The Print Space is unique amongst Indigenous owned and run print facilities in that since its inception in 1995, locally trained artists and printmakers have been employed in the continuous production of limited edition prints. The research undertaken has revealed that the successful incorporation of printmaking into Yolngu art production resulted from a combination of factors, with the Yolngu themselves being proactive agents in influencing the development of the Print Space and promoting the use of the print medium for political, social, educational and economic purposes. Women in particular enthusiastically advocated the acceptance of this introduced medium as printmaking played an important part in liberating female artists from their historically restricted role in art production. The adoption of print technology was controversial. The issue arose as to whether the mechanical reproduction of sacred clan designs moved the creative away from the hand of the artists and their direct connection with the creator ancestors. A further concern was that printmaking had the potential to encourage the inappropriate use of miny’tji and the abuse of intellectual property. This dissertation considers the changing attitudes and various approaches taken by the Yolngu in addressing these sensitive issues and the manner in which some of the artists are adapting traditional practices to reproduce the intricacy of the clan patterns and designs in print, while protecting the restricted or sacred, deeper meanings within the miny’tji. This thesis establishes that printmaking is a prime exemplar of cross-cultural collaborative exchange, facilitating innovation and individual creativity within Yolngu art practice. The collaborative nature of printmaking fostered significant reciprocal or ‘both ways’ learning exchanges through cross-cultural interactions between Yolngu artists and non-Yolngu schoolteachers, artists, art centre administrators, printmakers and gallerists. Considered by the Yolngu artists as ‘another way of telling our stories’, printmaking has provided an alternative artistic avenue for affirming Yolngu identity and connection to country and passing on knowledge to the younger generation. This thesis argues that the successful incorporation of this introduced art form into their art production is testimony to the willingness of the Yolngu to accept change in order to ensure the sustainability of their art and culture.

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on the discretionary inter vivos trust. It specifically investigates what the discretion of a trustee comprises and in which circumstances (if any) the court may amend the trustee‟s discretion as stipulated in the deed of trust. In order to make any meaningful conclusions, the different types of trusts, and more specific the way in which trusts are classified, needs to be researched. An inter vivos trust is classified as a contract for the sake of a third. Consequently contract law rules are applied in the interpretation and amendment of an inter vivos trust. The source, goal and tenor of a trustee‟s discretion, as well as the circumstances wherein this discretion may be amended, are investigated. The general rule is that courts have no discretion to amend a trust, but there is an exception to the rule. In accordance with article 13 of the Trust Property Control Act 57 of 1988 courts do have the power to amend or cancel the deed of trust in certain circumstances. In Potgieter and Another v Potgieter NO and Others 2012 (1) SA 637 (HHA) the court ruled that the power granted by article 13 does not enable judges to create law by amendment of the deed of trust according to their subjective interpretation of what is fair and just. The facts of the Potgieter case serve as problem statement for this study by focusing on the problems and unjust consequences of the strict application of contract law rules on a trust when the court does not take the changing circumstances of the trust founder into account.<br>LLM (Estate Law), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers the choice of law rules for the transfer of property. The rules are structured round a number of distinctions. First, a distinction has to be drawn between movables and immovables. Immovable property, which comprises land and things attached to or growing on the land, is subject to the control of the authorities where it is situated to a much greater extent than movable property, which can be physically removed from one country to another. As regards movables, a further distinction is drawn between tangibles and intangibles. Secondly, the law distinguishes between cases involving the transfer of property on death and cases where property is transferred inter vivos. Thirdly, transfers which arise as a result of marriage should be distinguished from other types of transfer.

Chapter 4 examines cases between 1865 and 1899 in which black southerners faced off against whites over everyday economic matters, disputing contracts, contesting transactions of land or livestock, and demanding fair payment for work they had completed. More than one-third of these cases involved black and white participants who had known one another as master and slave. As they litigated such suits, African Americans throughout the South asserted their right to participate in the postwar economy on an independent, equal basis. In response, white litigants asserted their own view of black litigants’ place in the southern economy, which often looked all too similar to the era of slavery.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter studies the manner in which an owner of property can vindicate his rights if they are interfered with by another. An owner who has been wrongfully deprived of his property, whether that property is tangible or intangible, and whether the claim is brought as a claim in tort (as a claim in conversion) or in equity (as an ‘equitable vindicatio’), must frame that claim as a ‘following’ claim and/or as a ‘tracing’ claim. When an owner seeks to follow property, he is seeking to identify his property in the hands of another. Essentially, in order to follow property, an owner must show: that he was unlawfully deprived of property that he owned; that the person he is asserting his claim against holds that property; and that he has a better right to the property than the person holding it.

Abstract In mid-1862, slaves remaining in Washington County saw little chance of freeing themselves soon. True, local unionists had promised them “absolute freedom” and “equality with white men” if they joined in an effort to dislodge local planters from their land. A few white men had actively aided Washington County slaves in their efforts to escape. In early March 1862, for example, three unionists arranged for several boats to be left at the mouth of the Scuppemong River for slaves wishing to flee to Roanoke. But local slaves still faced an official federal policy that defined them as property. Captain Hammill had helped planters retain their slaves, and even the abolitionist-minded New York Volunteers in Plymouth divided among themselves.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is the first of four chapters that set up a folk narrative typography: Big Stories; character anecdotes; microlegends; and everyday storying. It begins with a definition of “Big Stories” and its relationship to “myth” and “theme.” The chapter overviews the thematic content of the Big Stories at work on Lewis Island: tradition, environment, civility and community (including sharing the island), springtime, and the island as a sacred, spiritual place. It also covers how big stories are told in different situations during fishing, on the island, and at other times and places, including through the media. Some telling is not only performed, but also enacted: for example, through the sales method which redistributes fish equitably; in hosting visitors to watch fireworks on the river, and other ways which sharing the island rides the line between private and public property. Chapter 2 also discusses how these stories overlap and intertwine.

Abstract Chapter 5 extends the perspectival analysis thus far developed by characterizing views of property by reference to the function of property that comes to the fore in their analyses: the personal, the economic, or the political. These terms will help us add another connection between the projects of agency and the social perspectives, as well as profiling the Idealists against the background of the broader modern debate over property rights. Perhaps most important, this chapter helps to fill out the way in which each of the philosophers takes up multiple perspectives by showing that each has a different perspective on property than he has on the family.

Abstract The institution of private property is one of the pillars of the market economy. The question, how it contributes towards economic efficiency, has proven a challenge to economic theory. One suggestion is that it helps to overcome frictions in the drafting of commercial contracts. The analysis is intimately related to another question, how joint ownership of several assets by a single entity, a company, say, contributes to economic efficiency. Abstract as these questions may seem, they do have important practical implications for the analysis of mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, etc. Another important application is the analysis collateralized lending, that is securing debt repayments by the pledge of property. The chapter concludes with a brief analysis of reputation-based trade in an environment with no rule of law.

Chapter 8 builds on Chapter 6’s connection of narrative to sense of place and Chapter 7’s connection of narrative to belonging, to create a richer understanding of people’s interactions with places, in general and on Lewis Island. Savage, Bagnall, and Longhurst’s concept of “elective belonging” makes a natural segue, because it switches focus from belonging to a group of people who accept one, to belonging to a place because one finds it meaningful and one commits to it. The discussion broadens with Casey’s philosophical view that people and places mutually create and affect one another. Discussion in this chapter revisits the idea of sharing the island, a stewarding of place, at a deeper level, drawing on the stories of previous chapters and interview material in which participants interpret their relationships with Lewis Island. Subtopics include nature and culture, spirituality, public and private property, changing landscape, change over time, and symbolism.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Cold spray (CS) is being use in both civil aviation and military aircraft fleets as a method for repairing obsolete or damaged parts mainly for dimensional repair. There is ongoing research by the United States Office of Naval Research examining the corrosion and mechanical property equivalency of CS repairs on aluminum alloys for structural applications on aircraft. Recent testing has shown that CS repairs of fatigue sample geometries with 15-30% blend outs are able to improve fatigue life to near that of an undamaged fatigue sample at two stress ratios. Tensile coupons with 15% CS repairs have also shown tensile properties within 90% of wrought material for two alloy systems. Other material property investigations, including corrosion, using this repair process are underway. Another key item requiring understanding for using cold spray on aircraft repair is the corrosion development and how it compared to conventional alloys. These combined results are critical to showing CS can be used to complete repairs of structural aircraft components.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Fire sprinkler systems are expected to perform reliably over the design life of the protected facilities. Several failures have led to two large recalls of sprinkler heads and revisions to industry standards. In this paper we are presenting case histories of four different fire protection systems where corrosion resulted in premature discharge/leakage causing significant property damage or facilities downtime. One case involves tuberculation of galvanized piping in a nominally dry system. Two cases involve dealloying (dezincification) corrosion of brass sprinkler heads. Another case involves microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) corrosion of flexible, corrugated, stainless steel feed tubes.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Achieving high performance with waterborne acrylic latex DTM coatings often requires a balancing act to be performed by both the polymer scientist designing the latex polymer and the coating scientist formulating the coating. A successful coating is defined by a set of critical properties while in the paint can, during application, and ultimately in its performance throughout its service life. It is often found, particularly with single component waterborne acrylic latex DTM coatings, that realizing certain combinations of key properties is difficult because the polymer feature or formulating technique that delivers one property leads to a decrease in another property. An example is producing a film with high gloss – one easy path to high film gloss is lowering the polymer molecular weight, but this usually also leads to a decrease in solvent resistance and exterior durability. Another is formulating a coating to low VOC – using a non-volatile plasticizer to aid in film coalescence is one path to low VOC, but film hardness is sacrificed. Thus, it is the task of the polymer chemist and coating formulator to understand certain principles employed in latex polymer design and coating formulation, and use those principles in finding an acceptable solution with the appropriate balance of properties. This paper will describe a variety of the guiding principles used in designing and formulating waterborne acrylic DTM coatings, as well as some of the exceptional solutions that have been devised to break free from the delicate balancing act and the restrictions it sometimes places on achieving high performance. The challenges, principles and creative solutions will be demonstrated with performance data from waterborne acrylic DTM coatings developed over the course of several decades.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper discusses the laboratory failure analysis investigation of a 10” underground gas gathering pipeline that ruptured while attempting to remove a hydrate blockage. Failure occurred as a macroscopically brittle fracture along longitudinal groove defects associated with an ERW weld. Laboratory investigation of the failure included ERW defect length and depth measurements, charpy impact toughness testing, wall thickness profiles along the fracture, metallographic examinations at ERW groove defects, microhardness measurements and mechanical property testing. Remaining strength and critical flaw size analyses were conducted using several fracture mechanics programs and the results compared with one another. Fracture mechanics analysis results supported the role of absorbed hydrogen due to corrosion in causing failure at internal pressures below that predicted based on overload.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A common test for the evaluation of corrosion resistance of coatings over steel substrates is underfilm corrosion creep, typically measured by determining how far corrosion emanates on a substrate from a holiday under a coating film when subjected to corrosion conditions. This is a very commonly specified property in coatings specifications. Another test which is somewhat related to underfilm corrosion creep is cathodic delamination. Cathodic delamination is the de-adhesion of a coating from a substrate occurring at a defect in the coating film in a corrosive environment. The cause of this delamination has been associated with the generation of an alkaline substance produced at the cathodic half cell reaction of the corrosion process. This property, however, is rarely, if ever, specified in coatings specifications. This fact is puzzling and somewhat troubling because cathodic delamination has the potential to becoming a serious corrosion issue, more so than underfilm corrosion creep. This paper looks at the possible mechanisms of underfilm corrosion creep and cathodic delamination over steel surfaces. Also examined is the relationship between these two properties. The paper further looks into how both of these properties are affected by coatings that are designed to protect steel from corrosion and possible mechanisms of that protection. And finally, the key question is asked, why is cathodic delamination not specified in coatings specifications?

Full textAbstract:
Strongly localized and enhanced near-field light generated near plasmonic nanostructures has been widely applied in various fields from material science to biology. The near-field light is often generated by localized plasmon resonance of metallic nanostructures such as a gold nanoparticle and nanorod. Recently, plasmon nanofocusing has also attracted much attention as another method to generate the near-field light due to its distinctive advantages such as background-free from incident light [1]. The near-field light is generated at an apex of a plasmonic tapered structure, such as a gold cone, through plasmons propagating toward the apex. Considering both methods of localized plasmon resonance and plasmon nanofocusing, one of pivotal questions is “Which generates more intense near-field light?”, as the near-field light intensity is a fundamental and important property for most of optical applications.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The exopolysaccharides (EPS) are a class of renewable natural polymers, which present anti-fouling property. Therefore, it may be used as an alternative to conventional additives currently used in anti-corrosive paints. The copper oxide is an additive commonly used due to its anticorrosive and anti-fouling properties. However, this metal oxide presents toxicity to some marine organisms and it can promote environmental problems. The incorporation of EPS in paints based on copper oxide can reduce its contents, since both present anti-fouling characteristics. Another possibility is to incorporate this polymer to a paint that shows anti-corrosive characteristics, such as niobium oxide based paint. This work presents the steps of obtaining the EPS, extracted from cyanobacterium Phormidium sp., and its incorporation to the composition of paints based on copper and niobium oxides. The main objective of this research is to produce alternative paints to the anticorrosive and anti-fouling coatings used nowadays.

Nuclear units nationwide are struggling to increase plant reliability and availability while at the same time reduce their operating and maintenance costs. Some very costly investments have been made in programs such as Reliability Centered Maintenance [RCM]. Florida Power & Light’s approach at the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant has taken a slightly different approach. Building on our knowledge of the RCM process and an already existing “World Class” Predictive Maintenance Program, a “Condition-Based” Maintenance Program that takes advantage of the RCM philosophy and our toolbox full of advanced and highly successful predictive maintenance technologies. These tools currently consist of vibration analysis, lubricant analysis (both physical property & wear metals analysis, thermographic analysis, motor current signature analysis, tribology & process parameter trending. All employed with the intent to evaluate a machines health. This machine health check allows the forecasting of future preventative maintenance [PM’s] tasks and the revision of existing PM’s to maximize machine performance and eliminate “no-value-added” maintenance activities/costs. Within the last year, the Condition-Based Maintenance Program has produced a cost saving of approximately $1.5 million dollars. As the program matures, these cost savings will accumulate well into the millennium.

Full textAbstract:
The tensile response of continuous fibre reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CFCCs) is not expected to show the large variation in strength properties commonly observed for monolithic ceramics. Results of recent investigations on a number of 2D reinforced CFCCs have nevertheless revealed a considerable scatter in the initial elastic modulus, in the first matrix cracking stress and in the failure stress. One school of thought considers that the observed variability is caused by experimental factors. Elaborate testing programmes have been set up to clarify the origins of this scatter by investigation of the effects of control mode, loading rate, specimen shape, etc.. Another school explains the scatter by the presence of (axial) residual stresses in the fibres and in the matrix. Although plausible, this hypothesis is difficult to verify because experimental determination of the residual stress state in CFCCs is not straightforward. In addition, with the available methods it is impractical to determine the residual stresses in every test specimen. This approach is indeed required for establishing the relationship between the magnitude of the residual stresses and the experimentally observed scatter. At IAM a method has been developed and validated which allows to quantify the axial residual stress state in individual CFCC specimens by subjecting them to intermittent unloading-reloading cycles. The method as well as the derived relationship between residual stress state and scatter in mechanical response will be presented.

Full textAbstract:
This report uses the first two years of newly collected annual registrations data from the RTB administrative tenancy registers to track individual rental properties over the period Q2 2022–Q1 2024. Using a large sample of 182,250 matched property pairs, for the first time, this report is able to examine how property level rents changed in Ireland over this period. This property level analysis provides complementary insights to those from the RTB/ESRI Rent Index indicators. While Rent Index measures provide the most accurate picture of how average rents are changing for new and existing tenancies, they are broad, market level indicators and do not track individual properties over time. They are designed to capture the impacts of both individual property rent changes and churn in the market. The focus of this report is solely on property level rent changes. The report addresses key research questions such as the magnitude of the average rental growth at the property level; the proportion of properties that saw no change in the rent; how rent changes differ between properties with ongoing tenancies (of at least one year in duration) compared to those that saw a change in tenants, i.e. where one lease ended and another began; and whether the patterns differ in areas designated as Rent Pressure Zones (RPZ) compared to non-RPZ areas.

An analytical model and a field experiment in Argentina proved that salient enforcement messages on one type of tax could increase compliance with another tax. Salient messages of penalties and enforcement for the property tax had positive spillover effects on declaration of the gross sales tax, with taxpayers in the treatment group increasing their reported tax by 2 percent. Taxpayers appear to assume that higher enforcement of one tax implies higher enforcement for others, thereby increasing their compliance across taxes.

Full textAbstract:
This paper follows the enslaved woman Teofila from captivity to freedom in 19th-century Rio de Janeiro. To become a free woman, Teofila had to navigate the complex private credit networks of the West African community of the Brazilian capital city. With limited banking activity, the cariocas relied on one another for their financial needs, making for a highly convivial credit market that reflected and reinforced the vast inequalities of Brazilian slave society. While following Teofila through the courts of Rio de Janeiro, this paper will demonstrate that one of the cornerstones of the city’s credit market was the presence of an intertwined relationship between credit and private property. The commerce in human beings like Teofila produced thousands of negotiable titles, with slavery working as a propeller for credit circulation and one of its pillars – slave property was the primary collateral for unpaid debts.

Net-zero climate policies foresee deployment of atmospheric carbon dioxide removal wit geological, terrestrial, or marine carbon storage. While terrestrial and geological storage would be governed under the framework of national property rights, marine storage implies that carbon is transferred from one global common, the atmosphere, to another global common, the ocean, in particular if storage exceeds beyond coastal applications. This paper investigates the option of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and storage in different (marine) reservoir types in an analytic climate-economy model, and derives implications for optimal mitigation efforts and CDR deployment. We show that the introduction of CDR lowers net energy input and net emissions over the entire time path. Furthermore, CDR affects the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) via changes in total economic output but leaves the analytic structure of the SCC unchanged. In the first years after CDR becomes available the SCC is lower and in later years it is higher compared to a standard climate-economy model. Carbon dioxide emissions are first higher and then lower relative to a world without CDR. The paper provides the basis for the analysis of decentralized and potentially non-cooperative CDR policies.

The augmented reality applications are effectively applied in education and therapy for people with special needs. We propose to apply the augmented reality portal as a special tool for the teachers to interact with people at the moment when a panic attack or anxiety happens in education process. It is expected that applying the augmented reality portal in education will help students with ASD, ADHD and anxiety disorder to feel safe at discomfort moment and teachers can interact with them. Our application with the augmented reality portal has three modes: for teachers, parents, and users. It gives the ability to organize personalized content for students with special needs. We developed the augmented reality application aimed at people with cognitive disorders to enrich them with communication skills through associations understanding. Applying the augmented reality application and the portal discovers new perspectives for learning children with special needs. The AR portal creates illusion of transition to another environment. It is very important property for children with ADHD because they need in breaks at the learning process to change activity (for example, such children can interact with different 3D models in the augmented reality modes) or environment. The developed AR portal has been tested by a volunteer with ASD (male, 21 years old), who confirmed that the AR portal helps him to reduce anxiety, to feel calm down and relaxed, to switch attention from a problem situation.

Full textAbstract:
In this project we studied optimal use and adoption of sophisticated irrigation technologies. The stated objectives in the original proposal were to develop a conceptual framework for analyzing intra-season timing of water application rates with implications for crop and irrigation technology selection. We proposed to base the analysis on an intra-seasonal, dynamic, agro-economic model of plants' water demand, paying special attention to contamination of groundwater and soil in intensively cultivated areas that increasingly rely on water of lesser quality. The framework developed in the project integrates (i) a bio-physical model of water flow in the vadose zone and water uptake by plants and yield response with (ii) a dynamic management model to determine the optimal intra-season irrigation policy. It consists of a dynamic optimization model to determine irrigation rates at each point of time during the growing season and aggregation relating harvested yield with accumulated water input. The detailed dynamic approach provides a description of yield production processes at the plant’s level, and serves to determine intra-season irrigation decisions. Data derived from extensive field experiments were used to calibrate the model's parameters. We use the framework to establish the substitution between irrigation technology (capital) and water inputs; this is an important property of irrigation water productivity that has been overlooked in the literature. Another important feature investigated is the possibility to substitute fresh and saline water with a minimal productivity loss. The effects of soil properties and crop characteristics on optimal technology adoption have also been studied. We find that sandy soil, with low water holding capacity, is more conducive to adoption of sophisticated drip irrigation, as compared to heavier soils in which drainage losses are significantly smaller.

Meetings with the majority of the Technical Panel for the Development of an Interactive Database of Contemporary Material Properties for Fire Modeling project were held on June 29 and June 30, 2020. The major subjects of discussion included the list of proposed materials to be tested and characterized, the properties for the database, and the experimental and analytical methods to determine the properties for the database. A list of 101 materials divided into 11 categories were identified for inclusion in the database. The topics of variability in materials and aging of products and furniture items was discussed and it was concluded that investigating these variations is outside the scope of the project in this phase. The list of properties to be stored in the database for each material as well as proposed experimental methods to determine each property were discussed in the Technical Panel meetings. The discussion emphasized that the priorities for the properties represented in the database are dependent on the expected users for the database. Three potential user groups and the sets of properties that each group would likely require were identified. To ensure that the data contained in the database is useful for modeling, it was determined that prioritization would be given to complete sets of properties to be measured and stored in the database. Over the course of the two meetings, several tools were proposed to make the database easier for model practitioners to use. Once such tool included functionality to output lines of code for the models or entire model input files to simplify the process of inserting the properties into computa- tional fire models. Another tool that was discussed would involve automatically extracting derived properties from data sets or translating between complex and simple representations of burning. The next phase of the project includes conducting research to finalize the structure of the database and finalizing experimental procedures and protocols to populate the database.

Full textAbstract:
The Report provides an overview of the current state of knowledge on the ageing of large dams –an emerging global development issue as tens of thousands of existing large dams have reached or exceeded an “alert” age threshold of 50 years, and many others will soon approach 100 years. These aged structures incur rapidly rising maintenance needs and costs while simultaneously declining their effectiveness and posing potential threats to human safety and the environment. The Report analyzes large dam construction trends across major geographical regions and primary dam functions, such as water supply, irrigation, flood control, hydropower, and recreation. Analysis of existing global datasets indicates that despite plans in some regions and countries to build more water storage dams, particularly for hydropower generation, there will not be another “dam revolution” to match the scale of the high-intensity dam construction experienced in the early to middle, 20th century. At the same time, many of the large dams constructed then are aging, and hence we are already experiencing a “mass ageing” of water storage infrastructure. The Report further explores the emerging practice of decommissioning ageing dams, which can be removal or re-operation, to address issues of ensuring public safety, escalating maintenance costs, reservoir sedimentation, and restoration of a natural river ecosystem. Decommissioning becomes the option if economic and practical limitations prevent a dam from being upgraded or if its original use has become obsolete. The cost of dam removal is estimated to be an order of magnitude less than that of repairing. The Report also gives an overview of dam decommissioning’s socio-economic impacts, including those on local livelihoods, heritage, property value, recreation, and aesthetics. Notably, the nature of these impacts varies significantly between low- and high-income countries. The Report shows that while dam decommissioning is a relatively recent phenomenon, it is gaining pace in the USA and Europe, where many dams are older. However, it is primarily small dams that have been removed to date, and the decommissioning of large dams is still in its infancy, with only a few known cases in the last decade. A few case studies of ageing and decommissioned large dams illustrate the complexity and length of the process that is often necessary to orchestrate the dam removal safely. Even removing a small dam requires years (often decades), continuous expert and public involvement, and lengthy regulatory reviews. With the mass ageing of dams well underway, it is important to develop a framework of protocols that will guide and accelerate the process of dam removal. Overall, the Report aims to attract global attention to the creeping issue of ageing water storage infrastructure and stimulate international efforts to deal with this emerging water risk. This Report’s primary target audiences are governments and their partners responsible for planning and implementing water infrastructure development and management, emphasizing adaptat
