Abstract The paper is devoted to the strength analysis of a simply supported three layer beam. The sandwich beam consists of: two metal facings, the metal foam core and two binding layers between the faces and the core. In consequence, the beam is a five layer beam. The main goal of the study is to elaborate a mathematical model of this beam, analytical description and a solution of the three-point bending problem. The beam is subjected to a transverse load. The nonlinear hypothesis of the deformation of the cross section of the beam is formulated. Based on the principle of the stationary potential energy the system of four equations of equilibrium is derived. Then deflections and stresses are determined. The influence of the binding layers is considered. The results of the solutions of the bending problem analysis are shown in the tables and figures. The analytical model is verified numerically using the finite element analysis, as well as experimentally.

This paper corrects some mistakes about three theorems, two figures and some expressions on “finite field” in a literature, and then it analyzes the digraphs and period properties of the logistic map on residue class rings [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Some theorems and conjectures are proved or given. To validate these properties, we make some numeral experiments and draw the relative figures and tables. So the theoretical analysis and numeral experiments show that there exists periods in the logistic map on [Formula: see text] and on [Formula: see text] and it can be applied in the pseudo-random generators, cryptography, spread spectrum communications and so on.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this paper is to present comprehensive lists of accurate natural frequencies of isotropic thin rectangular plates. For this purpose, a simple yet very accurate analytical approach is described to study the free vibration of the plates. In numerical computations, convergence and comparison studies are conducted to check accuracy of the present solution and to demonstrate improvement of numerical solutions in the results. Twenty-one tables are then provided to give the lowest six frequency parameters for all possible combinations of three typical edge conditions (clamped, simply supported and free edges). Each frequency value in the tables is given in five significant figures for non-Levy type problem (i.e., two opposite edges not simply supported) and six significant figures for Levy type problem. These results are presented for five different aspect ratios in the same format of the past representative reference.

Full textAbstract:
A combined control system for a shunt active filter in the coordinate system of the two-wattmeters method has been proposed, which, depending on the conditions of use, implements one of the four active filtration strategies, optimal according to a certain quality indicator. The most promising is the proposed integral strategy for active filtration control with the reference vector of line voltages of direct sequence, which provides symmetric sinusoidal currents of the network and the minimum pulsation of power consumption for the almost identical energy-saving effect as the concept of S. Fryze. New formulas for calculating the energy-saving effect and pulsations of the instantaneous power in a three-phase system of power in the case of the formation of an active current in the transmission line in the conditions of asymmetry of loading voltage and linear asymmetric load have been developed. Simulation studies have confirmed the adequacy of the proposed strategies and calculations. References 15, figures 5, tables 2.

In this paper, A new accurate solutions are obtained for classes of singular two-point boundary value problems (BVPs) using a new solution procedure based on the construction of the auxiliary functions of the standard optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM). This procedure give us accurate approximate solutions using only one order of approximation compared with the solutions obtained previously by the standard OHAM approximation of three order. The obtained numerical results which are displayed in tables and plotted graphically in figures leads to concluded that this procedure is efficient and of third order reliable for finding the solutions of singular two BVPs.

Purpose. To evaluate the results of color vision functions using different methods in amblyopic children and in children of the control group. Material and methods. We observed 81 school children: 1) 35 amblyopic children 2) 46 children of the control group without amblyopia. The color vision was explored using classic tests (polychromatic Rabkin tables and Neitz-test) and our own test images (Patent RU 2760085 dated 02/04/2021). Results. In the control group normal trichromasia was detected in 38 (82.6%) children using all three methods. In the rest of the cases using Rabkin tables revealed difficulties in defining shapes of the test figures in some tables in four (8.7%) children. Nevertheless, the children could name the colors of separate circles composing the images correctly. Using Neitz-test revealed difficulties in 6 (13%) children. Using our own developed tests revealed no difficulties in children of the control group. In the group of amblyopic children normal trichromasia of both eyes was detected only in 12 (34,3%) children using all three methods. Using Rabkin tables, Neitz-test and our own developed tests detected protanopia combined with deuteranopia in two boys under conditions of observing the best seeing eye and the worst seeing eye. Using the same tests detected less expressed disturbances of perception red and green colors in two girls. Nine (25.7%) children could name the colors of separate circles correctly but had difficulties in defining shapes of the test figures in some Rabkin tables. Accomplishing Neitz-test 15 (42.9%) children named the colors of all test figures correctly but made mistakes defining their shapes. Conclusion. Exploring color vision in children using Rabkin tables and Neitz-test it is necessary to consider that these tests make an observed child accomplish two tasks simultaneously – distinguishing the color and defining the shape. Usually, it does not cause any difficulties in a healthy school child. But under conditions of amblyopia the mechanism of integrating the information of the colour and the shape into a united visual image may be disturbed. It complicates the correct accomplishing the test and may cause mistakes in a doctor's interpretation of a patient's answers. Our developed test images do not require defining the chromatic form. It allows them to reflect a child's ability to distinguish a chromatic image from achromatic images of the same brightness and the ability to distinguish shades of basic tones at different degrees of their saturation. Besides, the advantages of the method are simplicity of accomplishing, minimal amount of time necessary for observation and availability for a child's comprehension which make it look promising for using at outpatient admissions in children of different ages. Key words: amblyopia, color vision, diagnostic methods of color vision

On the sides of a right-angled isosceles triangle, squares external to this triangle are built. The task is to construct a straight line on a plane that divides a figure consisting of these three squares into two equal-sized (that is, equal area) figures. Some parameters determined by this line are calculated, in particular, the areas of parts of the original squares in half-planes. The corresponding results are illustrated by various drawings, tables and graphs.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, a novel and efficient approach based on Lucas polynomials is introduced for solving three-dimensional mixed Volterra–Fredholm integral equations for the two types (3D-MVFIEK2). This method transforms the 3D-MVFIEK2 into a system of linear algebraic equations. The error evaluation for the suggested scheme is discussed. This technique is implemented in four examples to illustrate the efficiency and fulfillment of the approach. Examples of numerical solutions to both linear and nonlinear integral equations were used. The Lucas polynomial method and other approaches were contrasted. A collection of tables and figures is used to present the numerical results. We observe that the exact solution differs from the numerical solution if the exact solution is an exponential or trigonometric function, while the numerical solution is the same when the exact solution is a polynomial. The Maple 18 program produced all of the results.

Full textAbstract:
In December 1945 the "L'Approdo" transmissions were launched at the RAI headquarters in Florence. The radio programme, one of the most important in Italy at the time, went on the air up to 1977, being accompanied from 1952 by a magazine and from 1963 to 1972 by a television programme. The three parallel cultural "enterprises" boasted an impressive number of important collaborators, gravitating around the decisive figure of Carlo Betocchi as leader and organiser. Nevertheless, despite its significance, even the adventure of "L'Approdo" was destined to die. When the transmissions and the publication of the magazine ceased, an entire cultural élite had to come to terms not only with the objective difficulties, but with a crisis of trust and of commitment in the face of what were now irreversible changes in the country. Yet – precisely because "L'Approdo" had battled for an approach that was destined to become minority with the triumph of the new media society – the retrieval of its history and the reconstruction through voices, pages and images of one of the first examples of encounter and mediation between culture and communication appears particularly significant. The methods and the emphatic planning of the entire experience emerge clearly from the first issue of the magazine, produced here in anastatic reprint, and above all from the enclosed CD-Rom which proposes, along with the tables of contents of "L'Approdo", the files and records of the entire correspondence (over 20,000 unpublished pieces) and details of the surviving scripts of the transmissions… In short, we finally have at our disposal material that enables us to reconstruct – through the traces of a programme and a magazine and of the intellectuals who collaborated on them – thirty years of culture and utopia, of compromise and enthusiasm, clustered around the birth, growth and death of an articulated project of "cultural policy".

Full textAbstract:
Abstract James D. Kiras establishes a new benchmark in military theory in this deeply analytic and innovative work. In it, he answers several pressing questions: how successful have American special operations been over the past quarter-century? Are special forces fated to cycles of expansion and misuse? Will special forces invariably exceed the authorities granted to them because of who they are and what they do? Is a general theory of special operations feasible given the range of activities and conditions that fall under the category? The book is based on two decades of practical experiences, teaching, and consulting experience within different special operations communities. Its analysis and conclusions are designed to inform practitioners, policy makers, educators, and the general public. It develops a framework, in the form of a theory comprising capabilities and control, for comprehensively evaluating special operations success. It contains more than twenty figures, maps, and illustrations to aid in the process. The book is divided into three parts. Part I lays the foundation for a general theory of special operations by looking at previous waves of scholarship, as well as historical special operations precedents stretching back into ancient history. Part II explores the two component parts of theory, capabilities and control, and expands our understanding of the former as well as the civil-military conceptualizations of the latter. Each become the basis for a triad that, when merged and animated by elements of strategy, form a dynamic theory and framework to evaluate special operations success. Part III uses various aspects of the theory, depending on available information, to assess the success of special operations over a twenty-year period in the United Kingdom, South Africa, and the United States.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Although Albert Camus is recognized as an important novelist and political commentator, he is often still underrated as a philosopher. This study, focusing on Camus’s explicitly philosophical writings, provides a detailed examination of his intellectual development, and argues that his work constitutes a coherent, carefully argued meditation on central philosophical themes. A systematic comparison of Camus with Søren Kierkegaard provides an interpretive ‘lens’ through which Camus’s central philosophical concerns are brought into sharper focus. Camus’s three thematic ‘cycles’—dealing with Absurdity, Revolt, and Nemesis—are compared and contrasted with Kierkegaard’s three ‘stages’—the aesthetic, ethical, and religious—in order to explicate Camus’s development from a radical amoralism, to an ethical philosophy, and then to the quest for something beyond ethics. Emphasis is placed on Camus’s fragmentary and uncompleted later thoughts, and especially his turn to nature as a source of value. Despite the substantial changes in Camus’s thinking, it is argued that a creative tension between two kinds of religious or quasi-religious sensibility runs through all phases of his work—a pantheistic acceptance of the order of the world and a quasi-Gnostic rebellion against it for the suffering it involves. As well as Kierkegaard, the book brings Camus into conversation with other figures from both the Continental and the analytical philosophical traditions and considers ways in which his arguments might be further developed and explicated.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis research addresses how gods may be gender-typed in children’s drawings. It offers cross-cultural comparisons on four distinct samples of drawings from Japan, Switzerland, Buryatia and Saint Petersburg (Russia). We discuss the challenges that arise when rating gender categories in children’s drawings, especially when drawing on a cross-cultural sample. Then we propose two approaches for the empirical analysis of the data: (1) providing a general description of the utilization of gender categories; (2) considering the data from a qualitative perspective, comparing children’s strategies and cultural references. In the main, while there seems to be cultural differences (as observed between samples), three main sources of normative pressure might exist: androcentrism, same-gender preference, and masculine hegemony. We discuss the observed phenomena in terms of socio-normative influence, cultural and religious references made available, gender traits, and gender transgression.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIf assessment of cancer screening involved nothing more than calculating the intermediate and definitive outcomes described in previous chapters, there would be little need for this primer. The challenging aspect is the interpretation of changes in outcomes that accompany cancer screening. The three screening phenomena, lead time, length-weighted sampling, and overdiagnosis, are responsible for much of that challenge. Chapter 5 presents how improvements in intermediate outcomes can occur even when cancer screening does not impact definitive outcomes, and examples and figures are presented to reinforce concepts. Assignment of cause of death is discussed in Chap. 5, and two phenomena that can affect the accuracy of cause of death, sticking diagnosis and slippery linkage, are presented.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, I base my work on the theory of cultural memory and the definition of “figures of remembrance”. These are culturally created and socially binding images of remembrance (M. Halbwachs), with the concept of figure being preferred to image because it is required not only for iconic but also for narrative formation (Assmann 2001). The three established aspects of figures of remembrance include the relationship to space and time, the relationship to the group, and the specific process of reconstructivity. If we perceive literature as the (linguistic) objectification of images and memories, we can also identify several symbolic images of collective remembrance in the literature of Vojvodina Slovaks. They are associated with the formation and spread of collective memory and are tied to certain places (lowlands, Dolná zem, Báčka) and time segments – calendar holidays and manifestations, during which past events such as moving, founding a village or building a house are symbolically revived. Through the figures of remembrance, the characteristics of the group, its values and ideals are reproduced, for example, industriousness, cleanliness, but also creativity among Vojvodina Slovaks. The origin and succession of historical duration must also be confirmed (by thematizing ancestors and significant personalities). The last aspect of reconstructivity actually determines what is to be remembered and what is needed, because the process is not so much related to the truthfulness as to the usefulness of memories, it is also socially conditioned (by linguistic and extra-linguistic means). However, most often, reconstructivity is related to the first two aspects of the figures of remembrance. Recently, in Slovak minority culture, "figures of remembrance" have been more intensely present in other arts and media (theater, stage performances, folklore, instinctive art), but it was precisely artistic literature that contributed to their establishment and persistence to a significant extent. We illustrate the aspect of reconstructivity with the national narrative about the migration to the Lower Land.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A three year project for the study of CO2 corrosion of carbon steels was sponsored by five oil companies. Corrosion takes place without an FeCO3 corrosion film if the Fe2+ ions in the water is in the solubility range. The corrosion rate was found to increase proportionally with CO2 partial pressures to a power of about 0.7. A new feature revealed is that the amount of Fe2+ corrosion products in the water is equally important as the CO2 level. Low concentrations of Fe2+ and high CO2 levels can lead to rapid corrosion. A surprising observation is that carbon manganese steels with about the same composition exhibited differences in the corrosion rate with a factor up to 4 in loop experiments at temperature from 60 - 90°C. This was, amongst others, a result of a minor amount of chromium (up to 0.2%) in the so-called unalloyed carbon steels. Also the response to flow variations was different for the different steels. Figures and tables are at end of the paper. When the amount of Fe2+ exceeds the solubility limit, corrosion films tend to form. Such conditions led to much lower corrosion rates than for solutions with very low amounts of Fe2+. Flow induced mesa attack took place in water saturated with FeCO3 under that turbulent flow conditions that film formation was prevented locally. The penetration rates for mesa attack were about the same as for corrosion without carbonate films in water with very low Fe2+ concentrations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The predictions of the so called CO2 or sweet corrosion and the so called H2S or sour corrosion are questions raised and still pending for over 60 years. A reliable prediction actually requires one to understand when high or low corrosion rates are encountered in E&P operations (field data), how they can occur (comprehension of the various mechanisms ruling the corrosion layer protectiveness), and finally why they do occur (link between data and mechanisms). So far, however, and despite long lasting researches, these three aspects had always been studied separately. After a short reminder of the chronology of each theme, the protectiveness concept is revisited in depth, and without any equation… In this way, major differences can be emphasized between a unique acid gas or a mix of acid gases, and then between two acid gases with insoluble iron salts, and a single gas plus a second acid with a soluble iron salt. The latter may be the well known free acetic acid (HAc), but also a potential contribution of the direct diffusion of H+ ions from the bulk medium through the deposit. At the metal surface, this is locally equivalent to a strong acid, i.e. HCl in brines or HClO4 in condensed water. Thanks to the user friendliness of a recent calculation tool on water chemistry, which now includes corrosion products, the leading parameters of protectiveness were systematically quantified, or at least their base value in the bulk medium: pH, potential corrosivity (PC), solubility limit of iron as an added corrosion product (Fes) and pH at saturation. This results in a genuine algorithm of protectiveness, i.e. allowing us to understand why what was observed in the field did occur. Consequently, one will at last be certain that this cannot but reoccur in the same conditions as those identified. In CO2 corrosion, the previous prediction of a low, medium or high risk is thus up graded into a firm prediction, namely of a low corrosion for the two first cases, and of a high corrosion for the latter. At a medium CO2 level, the acceptance threshold for HAc is also moved up from 0.1 to 1 mM in gas wells. The algorithm also confirms that such field based prediction could only address downhole corrosion. The reason is that the explicit clauses of a prediction tool derived from downhole experience cannot be separated from some implicit clauses specific to wells, and coming from geology or technology. Nevertheless, the prediction can now be extended to piping and lines, provided the life time and leading parameters will be close to those encountered in wells. Finally, it is shown that, paradoxically, dissolved CO2 is basically a non corrosive species, because its weak acidity also supplies the cathodic corrosion product HCO3- and iron insolubility. Therefore, in oil wells or any well producing reservoir water, only a sufficient presence of free HAc and the solubility of iron acetate can jeopardize the protectiveness of FeCO3 layers. And in gas wells or any well producing condensed water, only the very low pH values associated with high PCO2 figures can also jeopardize this protectiveness. In both cases, actually, as soon as pH becomes low enough for enabling an incipient direct diffusion of H+ throughout the layer, or as soon as an incipient free HAc content is present in the bulk medium, an autocatalytic process transforms the local medium within the deposit into a strong acid with a soluble iron salt (through the local exhaustion of bicarbonate, pH lowering, and a possible recycling of half of the H+ or HAc used by the cathodic reaction). Conversely, the algorithm also shows that whatever the partial pressure PCO2, a bicarbonate buffered produced water is never corrosive under CO2 alone. This results in a much more simple formulation of prediction rules.

Synthesis of 1 is briefly shown (Scheme 1, Sutcliffe et al., 2001). The intermediate azafulvenium was previously shown to be trapped by dipolarophiles, acting either as a 4? or 8? dipole (Pinho e Melo et al., 2004). A pyrolysis mechanism is proposed (Scheme 2). Three products were found, two of which were not previously reported (Scheme 3, 2cis and 3). The characterization by NMR, UV-Vis, and GC-MS of the substrate and products was performed. Molar absorptivities from 1 are informed (Figure 1, Table 1), along with 1H-NMR signals (Figure 2). Conditions of pyrolysis reactions are informed in Tables 2 and 3. These data allowed us to obtain the Arrhenius parameters corresponding to the reaction extrusion of SO2 (Figure 3, Table 4). Besides, thermodynamic parameters from the equilibrium between both styrylpyrroles (2trans and 2cis) obtained as main products are also reported for the very first time (Figure 4, Table 4).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The bi-axial stress test is a two-dimensional (2-D) field test in which horizontal and vertical stresses are applied to a circular “hole in the plate” problem. The diametric closures are measured at three uniformly spaced locations. Using the Kirsch solution, and assuming an isotropic elastic medium, the magnitude of the in-plane far-field principal stresses (𝜎1, 𝜎2) and their orientation (𝛼) can be uniquely determined. However, the Kirsch Solution has limitations, since the two-dimensionality is applicable only for conditions of plane strain or plane stress; and in reality, the out-of-plane stress condition is somewhat in between. The major outcome of this paper is the development of a methodology to determine the three-dimensional principal stresses (𝜎1, 𝜎2,𝜎3) and their orientations (𝛼,𝛽,𝛾) using the two-dimensional Kirsch Solution in three mutually perpendicular planes. Introduction The Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF, formerly known as DUSEL) is a dedicated underground scientific research facility located in Lead, South Dakota, at the former site of the Homestake gold mine. The SURF mission includes the construction of large underground cavern openings at depths of about 1500 meters to house large-scale physics experiments. A primary rock mechanics concern is the stability of these proposed large-diameter caverns (up to 165 meters) in a host rock which has been characterized to be orthotropic in the following conditions: (1) geometry, (2) in situ stress, (3) elasticity, and (4) strength. Of these four conditions of orthotropy, the second dimension (in situ stress) will be examined in this paper. The objective of this research is to present the theoretical development and implementation of the equations that define two- and three-dimensional orthotropic in situ stress. The equations are developed based on an interpretation of the biaxial stress test in two dimensions and extrapolation of multiple orthotropic field test results in three dimensions. The two-dimensional results are presented in the next section. These two-dimensional equations are used in the development of the three-dimensional equations for determination of the principal stress magnitudes and orientation, which are given in the subsequent section. The method is validated with a numerical example and will be applied to a data set of test results performed in situ to determine the orthotropic stress state (both magnitudes and orientations) in an underground mining location. The results of this mathematical development are applied to an orthotropic biaxial stress field test in Section 4, followed by a number of important conclusions in Section 5. The paper is concluded with a list of applicable references and several supporting figures and tables of results.

Full textAbstract:
In the present article, the buckling analysis of thin functionally graded rectangular plates resting on elastic foundation is presented. According to the classical plate theory, (Kirchhoff plate theory) and using the principle of minimum total potential energy, the equilibrium equations are obtained for a functionally graded rectangular plate. It is assumed that the plate is rested on elastic foundation, Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations, and is subjected to in-plane loads. Since the plate is made of functionally graded materials (FGMs), there is a coupling between the equations. In order to remove the existing coupling, a new analytical method is introduced where the coupled equations are converted to decoupled equations. Therefore, it is possible to solve the stability equations analytically for special cases of boundary conditions. It is assumed that the plate is simply supported along two opposite edges in x direction and has arbitrary boundary conditions along the other edges (Levy boundary conditions). Finally, the critical buckling loads for a functionally graded plate with different boundary conditions, some aspect ratios and thickness to side ratios, various power of FGM and foundation parameter are presented in tables and figures. It is concluded that increasing the power of FGM decreases the critical buckling load and the load carrying capacity of plate increases where the plate is rested on Pasternak in comparison with the Winkler type.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract After two years of development, the GAIA Explorer is now ready to assist Geoscientists at Total! This knowledge platform works like a little Google, but with a focus solely on Geosciences - for the time being. The main goal of the GAIA Explorer is to save time finding the right information. Therefore, it is particularly useful for datarooms or after business acquisitions to quickly digest the knowledge, but also for feeding databases, exploration syntheses, reservoir studies, or even staff onboarding specially when remote working. With this additional time, Geoscientists can focus on tasks with added value, such as to synthesize, find analogies or propose alternative scenarios. This new companion automatically organizes and extracts knowledge from a large number of unstructured technical documents by using Machine Learning (ML). All the models relie on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and have been trained on our own datasets, which cover main petroleum domains such as geosciences and operations. First, the layout of more than 75,000 document pages were analyzed for training a segmentation model, which extracts three types of content (text, images and tables). Secondly, the text content extracted from about 6,500 documents labelled amongst 30 classes was used to train a model for document classification. Thirdly, more than 55,000 images were categorized amongst 45 classes to customize a model of image classification covering a large panel of figures such as maps, logs, seismic sections, or core pictures. Finally, all the terms (n-grams) extracted from objects are compared with an inhouse thesaurus to automatically tag related topics such as basin, field, geological formation, acquisition, measure. All these elementary bricks are connected and used for feeding a knowledge database that can be quickly and exhaustively searched. Today, the GAIA Explorer searches within texts, images and tables from a corpus (document collection), which can be made up of both technical and operational reports, meeting presentations and academic publications. By combining queries (keywords or natural language) with a large array of filters (by classes and topics), the outcomes are easily refined and exploitable. Since the release of a production version in February 2021 at Total, about 180 users for 30 projects regularly use the tool for exploration and development purposes. This first version is following a continuous training cycle including active learning and, preliminary user feedback is good and admits that some information would have been difficult to locate without the GAIA Explorer. In the future, the GAIA Explorer could be significantly improved by implementing knowledge graph based on an ontology dedicated specific to petroleum domains. Along with the help of Specialists in related activities such as drilling, project or contract, the tool could cover the complete range of upstream topics and be useful for other business with time.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a methodology for using a neural network to predict airfoil behavior, for rapid airfoil design as well as prop-rotor blade and airfoil shape optimization. To train the neural network, reference airfoil shapes were obtained from the roughly 1600 airfoils in the UIUC airfoil database. The Class Shape Transformation approach is used to parameterize airfoil upper and lower surface geometries, using Chebyshev polynomials as shape functions. Three separate neural networks were trained, one each for lift, drag, and pitching moment. 'Truth' data is generated by conducting angle of attack sweeps with XFOIL on the various airfoils in the UIUC database. After training the neural network, isolated airfoil shape optimization was performed using the NSGA2 algorithm, targeting minimum average drag over an operating lift coefficient range for 10%, 12% and 16% thick airfoils. Additionally, prop-rotor aerodynamic optimization was carried out by designating airfoil shape parameters, blade twist distribution and blade chord distribution as simultaneous design variables for two objectives: hover figure of merit and cruise-mode propeller efficiency. A Blade Element Momentum Theory is used to predict rotor performance, using airfoil tables generated by the neural network. Pareto frontiers and an analysis of the resulting designs is presented. Using a neural network is advantageous for both applications, because it results in a roughly 40-fold speed-up over the XFOIL, while effectively decoupling the computational cost of shape optimization from that of the physics-based model generating truth data.

Full textAbstract:
There are three (3) documented Cathodic Protection (CP) criteria included in the NACE standards. The appropriate use of these are often debated and sometimes thought to be conservative in dry soils and possibly insufficient in some wet soil conditions. The need exists to evaluate the risks of an improperly installed and/or maintained CP system. The criteria for cathodic protection have been the subject of various research projects conducted for the Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. (PRCI) over a number of years. The programs have responded to the need to establish whether the present criteria are adequate or inadequate, and under what conditions, and whether the specific requirements for protection may depend upon the particular soil environment. The results of this study provide a comprehensive overview of the technical literature and the laboratory studies that formed the basis for this work. The results of this work include the first systematic study of the criteria as installed in the field. Field studies were initiated in 1984 with a multiyear (thru 1994) plan and objective of verifying the requirements for protection in a variety of natural environments, some of which were studied in the earlier laboratory research.

There is a significant knowledge gap for Army doctrine concerning civilian research scientists. A relatively small number of soldiers make the transition from warfighter to research and development at the basic and applied levels. That number is even less when considering former warfighters that have applied Army doctrine in an operational or advanced Army schooling environment. This special report is intended to focus solely on the Army’s current capabilities and doctrinally defined processes to analyze vegetation as an essential component of the natural terrain. The objective of this report is to review current Army doctrine related to analysis of the vegetated terrain; to explore currently leveraged tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs); and identify valuable geospatial resources as they apply to military planning. For ease to readers unfamiliar with US Army doctrine, much of the referenced material is directly presented herein as tables and figures throughout the document and appendices (e.g., data sources, product examples, and glossary).

Full textAbstract:
The Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) theory of career problem-solving and decision-making, introduced over 30 years ago (Peterson et al., 1991), builds on the foundational work of Parsons (1909) and Janis and Mann (1977), as well as cognitive information processing theories from Hunt (1971) and Sternberg (1980). To maintain consistency and to prevent theoretical drift, the original authors have made minimal changes to the core concepts throughout the years (see Sampson et al., 2023). However, we believe that for theories to remain valid and viable, it is essential to embrace changing empirical and conceptual perspectives. Thus, the purpose of this manuscript is to advance constructive modifications to CIP theory and its practical applications, which we present briefly herein. The overarching goal of the present manuscript is to provide and describe updated versions of three key aspects of CIP theory: (a) the Pyramid of Information Processing (Figure 1), (b) the CASVE Cycle (Figure 2), and (c) competency skills undergirding each phase of the CASVE Cycle (Table 1). The ideas presented in this report are further explicated in Peterson et al. (in press).

In 2022, 99.9% of cemented total conventional hip replacements and 99.3% of cemented total knee replacements used antibiotic cement. In primary total conventional hip replacement, antibiotic cement has a higher rate of revision in the first 6 months and a lower rate after 1.5 years compared to plain cement. When revision for infection is analysed, antibiotic cement has a higher rate of revision in the first 3 months and a lower rate of revision for infection after this time compared to plain cement (Table C8 and Figure C6). In primary total knee replacement, antibiotic cement has a lower rate of revision compared to plain cement. However, this may be confounded by multiple factors and there is no difference in the rate of revision for infection.

Full textAbstract:
Migrant integration allows migrants to contribute to the economic, social, cultural and political life of the country they migrate to; it is also important for social cohesion and inclusive growth. By examining how migrants fare relative to the majority population in key life domains, this report seeks to illustrate the challenges, successes and opportunities for migrant integration in Ireland today. Monitoring integration can provide crucial information for policy and public conversations around migration, and the profile of migrants in Ireland. Ireland’s migration context has changed considerably in recent years: there have been relatively high numbers of arrivals from Ukraine to Ireland, and a marked increase in the number of people seeking international protection since the last monitoring report on integration. A rise in the cost of living and an acute shortage of housing continue to be significant challenges for all living in Ireland, including many migrants. This report is the ninth in a series of monitoring reports on integration that began in 2011. It considers how migrants – generally defined as those born outside the State – fare relative to the Irish-born population across four key life domains: employment, education, social inclusion and active citizenship. The report also provides updates on migration and integration policy. Integration indicators are based on high-quality, nationally representative survey data for the latest available time points, supplemented with administrative statistics on forced migrants, where possible. Key headline figures are presented in Table A: individual chapters disaggregate migrant groups by region of origin. Chapter 1 presents recent trends in migration and provides a profile of the migrant population in Ireland. The rise in immigration since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic continued into 2024, nearly reaching its 2007 peak. The 2007 peak was dominated by migration from within the European Union (EU): recent patterns indicate a shift towards non-EU migration, for work, study and international protection. In 2023, 22% of the population were born outside the State: just over half of this subgroup was born in the United Kingdom (UK – including Northern Ireland) or the EU, while the remainder was born across a diverse range of non-EU countries. This is an increase from 20% born outside the State in 2021.

Full textAbstract:
The Southeast Coast Network (SECN) initiated a monitoring effort to assess habitat conditions in wadeable streams at national parks, recreation areas, battlefields, and monuments in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina (McDonald et al. 2018a). These parks include Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, Congaree National Park, Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, and Ocmulgee National Monument. The monitoring, implemented in 2016, focuses specifically on providing relevant data to assess the physical condition of Piedmont and upper Coastal Plain streams with respect to aquatic and riparian habitats and how these habitats may be changing over time. The habitat assessment methods outlined in the protocol rely on standard data collection methods and standard operating procedures currently in use by the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and U.S. Forest Service that have been modified to better meet the needs of National Park Service (NPS) managers. The Southeast Coast Network’s Monitoring Wadeable Stream Habitat Conditions in Southeast Coast Network Parks protocol (McDonald et al. 2018a) was developed to begin a monitoring program that will provide insight into the status of, and trends in, stream and riparian habitat conditions. The number of reaches surveyed at each park is dependent on the spatial extent of the park and the total number of wadeable streams that are present within park boundaries. Regardless of the size of the park and the number of reaches that are to be monitored, selected reaches (1) are representative of the processes influencing the streams in each park; (2) can address current and anticipated management concerns; and (3) offer the most utility for future complementary studies. The purpose of this report is to document the stream suitability survey conducted at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (KEMO). The purpose of this survey was to determine which streams should be chosen for long-term monitoring (McDonald et al. 2018a). On 7 February 2017, SECN staff met with Chief Ranger Anthony Winegar to determine which streams in the park are of management concern and are suitable for long-term monitoring. Stream segment suitability was based on whether the stream: (1) could be safely accessed; (2) is part of a single channel, wadeable stream system; and (3) is not greatly influenced by upstream impoundments. Of the ten stream segments identified by a GIS analysis, four stream segments (two each on Noses Creek and Ward Creek) were determined to be of potential management concern (Figure 1). After evaluating the stream segments in the field, three of the segments (two on Noses Creek and one on Ward Creek) were determined to be suitable for long-term monitoring. The remaining segment (Upper Ward Creek) was determined to not be suitable for long-term monitoring (Table 1). The upstream stream segment on Ward Creek was determined not to be suitable because this portion of Ward Creek has been highly modified by the installation of a sewage line. Upper Ward Creek is now a multi-channel quasi-wetland and the SECN wadeable stream monitoring protocol was not developed to monitor multi-channel streams (McDonald et al. 2018a). Following an analysis of the basin characteristics of the three suitable stream segments and in consultation with park staff, one segment on Noses Creek and one segment on Ward Creek were chosen for long-term monitoring (Table 2). The two stream segments chosen provide comparisons between similar streams and will help determine if the upstream trails or bridges on these streams are having a downstream influence. The following report provides an overview of the methods used to assess the suitability of each stream segment and provides a description of how the monitored reaches within each stream segment will be compared in future reports.
