Abstract:

El objetivo del siguiente artículo es presentar un estudio sobre las vocales susurradas, y su gradual desaparición, en la lengua shuar. El estudio parte de la premisa de que las vocales susurradas desaparecen de la lengua shuar por la acomodación al sistema vocálico del español. Este estudio se fundamenta en la investigación realizada en 21 comunidades a lo largo del territorio shuar. Se examinan tres factores extralingüísticos: edad, localidad y grado del bilingüismo. La conclusión confirma que el contacto con el español juega un papel importante en la desaparición de las vocales susurradas p

Abstract:

This thesis is about how the Shuar, a group of people living in South-Eastern Ecuador, create centralised political institutions. Over the last century, Shuar have experienced a rapid transition from a highly mobile lifestyle based on small, fluid, politically autonomous family groups to a sedentary life in large, nucleated communities. Owing to the decline of missionary involvement, the gradual loss of power of the ethnic federations, and drastic changes in the subsistence base, Shuar have also become increasingly reliant on state-derived resources, secured by their participation in electoral

Abstract:

The sex hormone testosterone supports male reproduction. However, testosterone is hypothesized to suppress immune activity, resulting in a tradeoff between energetic investment in reproductive effort and immune function. The Immunocompetence Handicap Hypothesis (ICHH) therefore argues that testosterone-linked masculine traits honestly signal health status to prospective mates, as only uninfected males should be able to maintain high testosterone levels. Still, this proposed tradeoff remains poorly tested among human men, especially among natural fertility populations experiencing high infectio

Abstract:

The human stress response has been shaped by natural selection to manage acute environmental challenges. While short-term activation of this response is imperative for survival, its chronic stimulation can lead to negative health consequences due to dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and its end product, the glucocorticoid cortisol. In fact, chronic psychosocial stress has been identified as an important pathway through which lifestyle alterations associated with market integration (MI; the degree of production for and consumption from a market-based economy) impact

Abstract:

Life history theory assumes that organisms allocate energetic resources (i.e., calories) to primary life functions such as maintenance, growth, reproduction, and physical activity in a manner that maximizes fitness. Under this conceptual framework, energy is limited, resource allocation is dynamic, and functional tradeoffs between competing metabolic processes are expected to occur. Life history tradeoffs have been invoked to explain biological variation across a range of species and ecological contexts. However, few studies have examined patterns of energy allocation and tradeoffs during huma

Abstract:

In biaxial compression tests, the stress calculations based on boundary information underestimate the principal stresses leading to a significant overestimation of the shear strength. In direct shear tests, the shear strain becomes highly concentrated in the mid-plane of the sample during the test. Although the stress distribution within the specimen is heterogeneous, the evolution of the stress ratio inside the shear band is similar to that inferred from the boundary force calculations. It is also demonstrated that the dilatancy in the shear band significantly exceeds that implied from the bo

To investigate the shear behaviours of soils, a few testing devices have been specifically developed. The most commonly used apparatuses are direct shear, direct simple shear, and hollow cylinder

The simplest shear problem involves a two-dimensional rectangular element with uniformly distributed reinforcement parallel to the element sides, and subjected to uniform normal stresses and shear stress. Such a uniform shear element will have uniform average stresses in reinforcement and concrete.

Shear force is assumed to be resisted by a central portion of the cross-section acting as a uniform shear element, while bending moment is assumed to be resisted

The nonlinear shear behaviour of cantilever reinforced concrete shear walls is complex and not fully understood.

Abstract:

The prime aim of this research project is to evaluate the performance of confined masonry walls under in-plane shear with a view to contributing to the national masonry design standard through a set of design clauses. This aim stems from the criticisms of the current provisions of the in-plane shear capacity equations in the Australian Masonry Standard AS3700 (2011) being highly non-conservative. This PhD thesis is an attempt to address this gap in the knowledge through systematic investigation of the key parameters that affects the in-plane shear strength of the masonry walls through laborato

Their environment is nearly always dynamic due to the prevalence of fluid flow: creeping flow in soil, highly sheared flow in bodily conduits, and turbulent flow in rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans, as well as anthropogenic habitats such as bioreactors, heat exchangers and water supply systems. The presence of flow not only affects how bac

Abstract:

In recent years, the use of Oil Palm kernel Shell (OPS) aggregate as coarse aggregate in concrete has received increasing attention due to its environmental and economic benefits. To date, considerable amount of research have been carried out to aid the understanding of its concrete mixture designs and its material properties, but, only limited amount of works have been carried out to aid the current understanding with respect to its shear resistance. The main objective of this research was to investigate the shear resistance of Oil Palm kernel Shell Concrete (OPSC), and to compare with the co

Abstract:

A new version of EN 1992-1-1, Eurocode 2 for Design of Concrete Structures, is under development and one of the most discussed topics is shear capacity for prestressed concrete beams without shear reinforcement, partly because shear failure occurs suddenly and can have catastrophic consequences. For the new version of Eurocode, there are a total of three proposed equations to replace the two equations that currently exist in EN 1992-1-1 for shear capacity of prestressed concrete beams without shear reinforcement. One of the proposed equations is intended to replace the equation intended for be

Abstract:

Several thousand tests throughout the world have been conducted on the shear strength of screw connections in cold-formed steel, however, little to no research has been conducted on how various thicknesses of insulation placed between two sheets of steel, such as a steel panel and structural supporting member, affects a screw's shear strength. Elemental tests were conducted as part of this study at Virginia Tech where rolled fiberglass insulation was placed between two pieces of steel connected by self-drilling screws and tested to failure. The results were compared to the North American Spe
