Full textAbstract:
The Chalcedonian confession of faith asserts that Christ is one person, the Son of God, subsisting in two natures, divine and human. The doctrine of the communication of idioms is essential to the life and practices of the Church insofar as we affirm there to be properties of deity and humanity present in the one subject, the Word made flesh. Such affirmations are made without a confusion of the two natures or their mutually distinct attributes. The affirmation that there is a divine and human nature in Christ is possible, however, only if it is also possible for human beings to think coherently about the divine nature, analogically, and human nature, univocally. Otherwise it is not feasible to receive understanding of the divine nature of Christ into the human intellect intrinsically and the revelation must remain wholly alien to natural human thought, even under the presumption that such understanding originates in grace. Likewise we can only think coherently of the eternal Son’s solidarity with us in human nature if we can conceive of a common human nature present in all human individuals. Consequently, it is only possible for the Church to confess some form of Chalcedonian doctrine if there is also a perennial metaphysical philosophy capable of thinking coherently about the divine and human natures from within the ambit of natural human reason. This also implies that the Church maintains a “metaphysical apostolate” in her public teaching, in her philosophical traditions, as well as in her scriptural and doctrinal enunciations.

The logistics of natural history sustained natural history’s capacity to acquire, classify and preserve specimens. This mobilization of nature established complex supply-chains, encompassing naturalists, colonial officers, museum curators, and many others, that materialized distinct global infrastructures. In suggesting the notion of Logistical Natures, this special issue renders the intersection of (critical) logistics and nature productive in two ways. First, the essays explore the logistics of natural history and analyze how large-scale, mostly colonial, infrastructures shaped knowledge, practices, and material culture within natural history. Second, Logistical Natures draws attention to the natural history of logistics for these infrastructures, such as postal services, military infrastructures, and railway systems, were also productive of new kinds of nature. Logistical Natures analyzes how modes of circulation materialized as (and in) the bodies, including people and specimens, and knowledge practices of natural history.

One of the most difficult flashpoints between biblical studies and confessional theology is the study of Jesus—whether we define this as studying the historical Jesus or studying Jesus historically—and thechurch’s creedal Christology. In this essay, I consider the dangers of Nestorianism in modern studies of Jesus. First, I outline the dangers and tensions between the study of the historical Jesus and the church’s creedalstatements about Christ. Second, I discuss the relationship between creeds and Scripture. Third, I consider briefly what we can say about Nestorianism, and how one arguably finds echoes of Nestorianism in modern approaches to the historical Jesus. Fourth, I offer six suggestions for a way forward for those who seek to honor both the church’s creedal traditions and the witness of the New Testament.

Full textAbstract:
The exploration of human nature in relation to crime begins with the understanding that all humans possess both criminal and crime-inhibiting natures. This perspective contrasts with crime theories that attribute the causes of crime to individual personality, aptitude, temperament, societal structure, learning, or culture. Uncovering the criminal and crime-inhibiting natures that all humans share from a common nature is not only necessary to challenge traditional crime theories, but also essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of criminal behavior To this end, this study first distinguishes concepts such as instincts, aptitude, temperament, and personality from the concept of nature and establishes their relationships. The essence of crime is shown to be merely a cultural product that serves to inhibit human animal instincts, through philosophical debates on human nature, Finally, this study examines the human nature underlying each crime theory in conjunction with four criminal natures - violence, impulsivity, desire, imitation and learning - and two crime-inhibiting natures - fear and sensitivity to others.

Full textAbstract:
The article expands on Lewis and Maslin’s “double two-step” historicization of the Anthropocene, with two major transitions in energy (agriculture and fossil fuels) and two in social organization (modernity and the Great Acceleration). Insofar as planetary impacts arise from “what we spend our time doing” – foraging, farming, feudal then waged labour, finally unsustainable consumption – such “doing” is understood as precisely ‘performative’ in the sense that its effects only arise from a massive social repetition that is confused with essential nature and thus concealed. Through a graphic model of such ‘plural performativity,’ four consecutive Anthropo(s)cenes are sketched: the Giving World of agriculture and state formation; the New World of colonial pillage and world trade; the Netherworld of wage labour and fossil capital; then ‘All the World’ but not with all of “us” as players. Apart from environmental changes, the paper targets performances of power and inequality: normative histories of ‘common sense’ on the one hand, concealing ‘people’s histories’ of conflict and opposition, on the other – the Anthropocene arising not simply from what the majority of people have been doing, but from what they have always beenforced to do.

Full textAbstract:
Christology is an attempt to relate the two natures of Christ; apology on the other hand, has the dual aim of justification and attack; both these entail polar structures. It is argued in this paper that these two binary systems of opposition interfered with each other to a certain extent. This occurred because of the practice of the early church to establish institutional stability and consent via a process of polarisation. The effect of apologetic antitheses on Ephrem’s description of the natures of Christ is investigated. Examples from Ephrem’s work relating to the polarity between the church and Judaism, between the nature of God and Arianism, and between the nature of God and humanity are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
A twofold sensitivity characterizes Christianity. One is sensitivity to its inner core and the other is sensitivity to its surrounding culture in which it lives and communicates its message. The inner core is the person of Jesus Christ whom his followers experienced as utterly human and completely divine. This is the heart of Christian spirituality. It found its creedal expression in terms of one person having two natures. Although the different creedal statements responded to various Christological controversies and remained faithful to its inner core, neither understanding nor communicating one person having two natures has been easy. Matters came to a head with the anthropocentric turn of the modern period. Friedrich Schleiermacher showed his sensitivity to the changed culture, only to be castigated by Karl Barth for not being sensitive to the inner core. This article argues that studies in nature-mysticism found in the contemporary world enable us to understand the ancient metaphysical terminology of one-person two-natures and also maintain the twofold sensitivity. I do this by using the category of “person-mysticism.” “Person-mysticism” is about encountering God in another human person, understood as an extension of “nature-mysticism” that involves encountering the divine in nature.

Full textAbstract:
<p>This dissertation fills a gap in nonsupersessionist theologies by constructing a Christology that brings together Jesus' particular Jewish existence (his human nature) and his universal transcendence (his divine nature), while maintaining the equality, unity, and full participation of both natures. This Christology proposes that both natures interact in a relationship of multiple-formativity to constitute the one person of the Incarnation through 'contextual universalism' and 'overlapping membership.' </p><p> Using frameworks from the areas of multicultural theory and political theory, this dissertation first identifies the processes by which classical and contextual Christologies negotiate difference in the Incarnation. In doing so, it exposes that Jesus' Jewishness is problematically supplanted as Christologies unite the two natures of Christ through assimilationism, a process undergirded by the presupposition that coexistent differences cause untenable conflict that can be resolved only through a single agent that homogenizes difference. </p><p> Destabilizing this presupposition and counteracting its results, this project then constructs a new conceptual framework for Christology that simultaneously differentiates and unites the two natures without assimilating either nature or dispensing with Jesus' Jewish particularity. Building from Toni Erskine's work in international relations theory and her model of 'embedded cosmopolitanism,' this work proposes 'contextual universalism' for understanding the differentiated unity of the two natures. To accommodate this new understanding, Laurel C. Schneider's theological anthropology and Rita Dhamoon's theory of difference are brought together to define Jesus Christ's human nature as constituted of a unique constellation of multiple, relationally-engaged contexts. Through an integration of Bikhu Parekh's political theory and Mayra Rivera's theology, the divine nature is interpreted as the unassimilable and transcendent Other that protects and connects innumerable differences. This dissertation then adapts Erskine's concept of 'overlapping membership' to propose a Christology wherein the particular, Jewish, human nature and the universal, divine nature of Jesus Christ engage in a relationship of interactivity and multiple-formativity in the one person of the Incarnation. </p>

Full textAbstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>This study will contribute to the substantial corpus of secondary scholarship on the life, ministry, and theology of the German theologian, church leader, and modern-day martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945). Bonhoeffer’s legacy has also elicited considerable interest in the South African context, concerning a wide variety of themes such as the Confessing Church movement, secularisation, discipleship, confessing guilt, spirituality, and ethics. The critical question articulated by Bonhoeffer predominantly in his Letters and Papers from Prison, namely ‘Who is Jesus Christ, for us, today?’ has been raised by different generations of South African theologians in rapidly changing contexts. This study will concentrate on Bonhoeffer’s own Christology. The focus will be not so much on the significance of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ within a particular social context, but on how Bonhoeffer understands the person of Christ. More specifically, the problem investigated in this study is how Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s evolving views on the so-called ‘two natures’ of Christ should be understood. The Nicene confession,’ that Jesus Christ is Lord, that he is ‘truly God’ and ‘of one being with the Father, ’ prompted considerable reflection in Patristic Christianity. One crucial question was how the confession of the divinity of Christ reconciles with the humanity of Jesus of Nazareth portrayed so vividly in the canonical gospels. The formulation of the Council of Chalcedon, namely that one may speak of ‘two natures’ and ‘one person,’ has never been satisfactory and prompted further controversy but remains a point of reference in ongoing Christological debates to this day. The question, therefore, raised: How does Bonhoeffer understand the relationship between the ‘divine’ and the ‘human’ nature of Jesus Christ? This question is pertinent given the consistent Christological concentration in Bonhoeffer’s theology (even to the point of a Trinitarian reductionism), his increasing emphasis on a ‘this-worldly’ understanding of God’s transcendence and his consistent Lutheran intuition that the finite can indeed contain the infinite.
Bonhoeffer’s Christology has been the subject of much scholarly interest. There is consensus that his Christology remains not only incomplete but also unresolved. A core problem in this regard is his understanding of the divine nature of Christ – which he assumes but of which he does not offer any full account. This study will contribute to the available literature by exploring Bonhoeffer’s understanding of the ‘two natures’ of Christ based on the primary and secondary research with specific reference to Sanctorum Communio (1927/1963), Act and Being (1930/1996), Christology, Discipleship (1937/1959), Ethics (1955, 6th edition and 2005, new critical edition) and Letters and Papers from Prison (2010).
There has been considerable controversy in Bonhoeffer scholarship regarding the continuity and discontinuity in Bonhoeffer’s theological thinking from his student years to his death in 1945. It would, therefore, be wise to allow for Bonhoeffer’s ‘evolving’ views on the ‘two natures’ of Jesus Christ to speak for itself. This study will seek to describe and assess (in terms of Bonhoeffer’s sources and secondary scholarship) Bonhoeffer’s views in each of his main works to trace the developments in his thinking.

Full textAbstract:
Natural convection in two-dimensional irregular cavities was simulated by numerically solving the steady-state conservation equations written in terms of stream function, vorticity and temperature dependent variables and for a general orthogonal coordinate system. It was assumed that the Boussinesq approximations were valid, that the fluid was Newtonian and that the properties other than density were constant. The use of orthogonal coordinates and the above set of dependent variables was found to have several advantages over the use of Cartesian or non-orthogonal systems and the set of primitive dependent variables (velocities, pressure and temperature). The body-fitted orthogonal coordinate system was numerically generated by means of the weak constraint method of Ryskin and Leal [26], Special forms of the Wood and second-order vorticity boundary conditions were derived for a general two-dimensional body-fitted orthogonal coordinate system. Finite difference techniques were used to solve the resulting set of differential equations.
The effects of the mapping characteristics, the vorticity boundary conditions and the finite difference grid size on the accuracy of the natural convection solution were investigated first. For the cavity geometries studied,, it was observed that, except for grid boundary conditions which led to undesirable grids, most combinations of grid and vorticity boundary conditions gave results of acceptable accuracy (relative error less than one percent) as long as a sufficiently fine grid size (28x28 or finer) was employed.
The effects of the cavity geometry and the Rayleigh number on natural convection were investigated in Part II. It was found that increasing the Rayleigh number always acted to enhance both the natural convection circulation and the heat transfer rate, a result which was easily explained by examining the source term of the momentum equation. The effect of the cavity geometry was more complex but these results could also be interpreted by examining the influence of the cavity shape in impeding or enhancing fluid circulation and the opposing effects of the distance between isothermal walls on conductive and convective heat transfer.
The possibility of using a similar numerical procedure to simulate a melting or a freezing process was investigated in Part III. Numerical predictions of the circulating flow in the liquid phase of an ice forming process were obtained by digitizing the photographic image of a real ice interface and using the true non-linear relationship between density and temperature for water at low temperature. The numerical results were in reasonable agreement with the flow visualization experiments carried out by Eckert [42].<br>Applied Science, Faculty of<br>Chemical and Biological Engineering, Department of<br>Graduate

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I propose a reductive account of causation. This account may be stated as follows: Causation: c is a cause of e within a possibility horizon ℓ if a) c is process-connected to e, and b) e security-depends on c within ℓ. More precisely, my suggestion is that there are two kinds of causal relata: instantaneous events (defined in Chapter 4) and possibility horizons (defined in Chapter 5). Causation is a ternary relation between two actual instantaneous events - the cause c and the effect e - and a possibility horizon ℓ. I argue that causation has a dual nature: on the one hand, a cause must be connected to its effect via a genuine process; on the other hand, a cause must make a difference to its effect. The first condition - namely, the condition of process-connection (defined in Chapter 6) - captures the sense in which a cause must be connected to its effect via a genuine process. This condition allows my account to separate causation from mere correlation, distinguish genuine causes from preempted backups, and capture how a cause must be at the right level of detail relative to its effect (Chapter 7). The second condition - namely, the condition of security-dependence (defined in Chapter 8) - captures the sense in which a cause must make a difference to its effect. This condition allows my account to yield intuitively correct verdicts on the counterexamples to the transitivity and intrinsicness of causation, resolve the problem of profligate omissions, accommodate structurally isomorphic but causally different cases, and handle contrastive causal claims (Chapter 9 and 10). Finally, my proposed account of causation logically entails restricted versions of three important principles of causal reasoning concerning the sufficiency of counterfactual dependence for causation, and the transitivity and intrinsicness of causation (Chapter 11).

Mestrado em Química<br>For the purpose of resolving the chemical heterogeneity of natural organic matter (NOM), comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC x LC) was employed for the first time to map the hydrophobicity and polarity vs. molecular weight (MW) distribution of the following complex organic mixtures: Suwannee River (SR-FA) and Pony Lake (PL-FA) Fulvic Acids, both obtained from the International Humic Substances Society, and water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) from atmospheric aerosols. Two methods have been developed using either a conventional reversed-phase silica column (RP-C18) or a mixed-mode hydrophilic interaction column (mixed-mode HILIC) in the first dimension, and a size-exclusion column (SEC) in the second dimension. The RP-C18 x SEC and mixed-mode HILIC x SEC fractions were screened on-line by UV at 254 nm, molecular fluorescence at excitation/emission wavelengths (Exc/Em) of 240/450 nm, and by evaporative light scattering.
The MW distributions of these NOM samples were further characterized by number average molecular weight (Mn), weight average molecular weight (MW), and polydispersity (Mn/Mw). Findings suggest that the combination of two independent separation mechanisms is promising in extend the range of NOM separation. The complete range of Mw values obtained in this study varied within 745-2122 Da, 637-1950 Da, and 157-891 Da for the SR-FA, PL-FA and WSOM, respectively. The obtained results were associated to the different origin and formation pathways of the three NOM samples, which strongly influence their chemical composition and MW distribution.<br>Com o objetivo de avaliar a heterogeneidade química da matéria orgânica natural (MON), foi aplicada pela primeira vez a técnica de cromatografia líquida compreensiva bidimensional (CL x CL) a três misturas orgânicas complexas: ácidos fúlvicos do Rio Suwannee (AF-RS) e do Lago Pony (AF-LP), ambos obtidos da Sociedade Internacional de Substâncias Húmicas, e matéria orgânica solúvel em água (MOSA) de aerossóis atmosféricos. Com esta nova técnica analítica, pretendeu-se efectuar a separação cromatográfica das amostras de MON tendo em conta a hidrofobicidade e polaridade vs. massa molar. Para o efeito, foram desenvolvidos dois métodos distintos, utilizando na primeira dimensão ou uma coluna de fase reversa convencional (C18) ou uma coluna de interação hidrofílica/fase reversa (HILIC, sigla inglesa), e na segunda dimensão uma coluna de exclusão por tamanhos (SEC, sigla inglesa). Os perfis cromatográficos das frações resultantes dos sistemas C18 x SEC e HILIC x SEC foram registados por três detetores: UV a 254 nm, fluorescência molecular a comprimentos de onda de excitação/emissão (Exc/Em) de 240/450 nm e detector evaporativo de dispersão de luz.
A distribuição da massa molar das amostras foi caracterizada pelas grandezas massa molar média em número (Mn), massa molar média em peso (Mw), e índice de polidispersão (Mn/Mw). Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a combinação de dois mecanismos de separação independentes constitui um método promissor na separação de amostras de MON. A distribuição de Mw obtida neste estudo foi de 745 a 2122 Da, 637 a 1950 Da e 157 a 891 Da para as amostras de AF-RS, AF-LP e MOSA de aerossóis atmosféricos, respectivamente. A gama de valores obtidos para a distribuição de Mw foram associados às diferentes origens e mecanismos de formação das amostras de MON, os quais podem influenciar a respectiva composição química e distribuição de tamanhos moleculares.

L'analyse du domaine vise à identifier et organiser les caractéristiques communes et variables dans un domaine. Dans la pratique, le coût initial et le niveau d'effort manuel associés à cette analyse constituent un obstacle important pour son adoption par de nombreuses organisations qui ne peuvent en bénéficier. La contribution générale de cette thèse consiste à adopter et exploiter des techniques de traitement automatique du langage naturel et d'exploration de données pour automatiquement extraire et modéliser les connaissances relatives à la variabilité à partir de documents informels. L'enjeu est de réduire le coût opérationnel de l’analyse du domaine. Nous étudions l'applicabilité de notre idée à travers deux études de cas pris dans deux contextes différents: (1) la rétro-ingénierie des Modèles de Features (FMs) à partir des exigences réglementaires de sûreté dans le domaine de l’industrie nucléaire civil et (2) l’extraction de Matrices de Comparaison de Produits (PCMs) à partir de descriptions informelles de produits. Dans la première étude de cas, nous adoptons des techniques basées sur l’analyse sémantique, le regroupement (clustering) des exigences et les règles d'association. L'évaluation de cette approche montre que 69% de clusters sont corrects sans aucune intervention de l'utilisateur. Les dépendances entre features montrent une capacité prédictive élevée: 95% des relations obligatoires et 60% des relations optionnelles sont identifiées, et la totalité des relations d'implication et d'exclusion sont extraites. Dans la deuxième étude de cas, notre approche repose sur la technologie d'analyse contrastive pour identifier les termes spécifiques au domaine à partir du texte, l'extraction des informations pour chaque produit, le regroupement des termes et le regroupement des informations. Notre étude empirique montre que les PCMs obtenus sont compacts et contiennent de nombreuses informations quantitatives qui permettent leur comparaison. L'expérience utilisateur montre des résultats prometteurs et que notre méthode automatique est capable d'identifier 43% de features correctes et 68% de valeurs correctes dans des descriptions totalement informelles et ce, sans aucune intervention de l'utilisateur. Nous montrons qu'il existe un potentiel pour compléter ou même raffiner les caractéristiques techniques des produits. La principale leçon à tirer de ces deux études de cas, est que l’extraction et l’exploitation de la connaissance relative à la variabilité dépendent du contexte, de la nature de la variabilité et de la nature du texte<br>Domain analysis is the process of analyzing a family of products to identify their common and variable features. This process is generally carried out by experts on the basis of existing informal documentation. When performed manually, this activity is both time-consuming and error-prone. In this thesis, our general contribution is to address mining and modeling variability from informal documentation. We adopt Natural Language Processing (NLP) and data mining techniques to identify features, commonalities, differences and features dependencies among related products. We investigate the applicability of this idea by instantiating it in two different contexts: (1) reverse engineering Feature Models (FMs) from regulatory requirements in nuclear domain and (2) synthesizing Product Comparison Matrices (PCMs) from informal product descriptions. In the first case study, we adopt NLP and data mining techniques based on semantic analysis, requirements clustering and association rules to assist experts when constructing feature models from these regulations. The evaluation shows that our approach is able to retrieve 69% of correct clusters without any user intervention. Moreover, features dependencies show a high predictive capacity: 95% of the mandatory relationships and 60% of optional relationships are found, and the totality of requires and exclude relationships are extracted. In the second case study, our proposed approach relies on contrastive analysis technology to mine domain specific terms from text, information extraction, terms clustering and information clustering. Overall, our empirical study shows that the resulting PCMs are compact and exhibit numerous quantitative and comparable information. The user study shows that our automatic approach retrieves 43% of correct features and 68% of correct values in one step and without any user intervention. We show that there is a potential to complement or even refine technical information of products. The main lesson learnt from the two case studies is that the exploitability and the extraction of variability knowledge depend on the context, the nature of variability and the nature of text

Full textAbstract:
Bivariate relationships have previously been established between exposure to nature and individual well-being, prosocial behaviour, and a general sense of connectedness, and between a general sense of connectedness and connectedness to nature. However, no model has been proposed to account for the patterning of these bivariate relationships. Research examining the relationship between exposure to nature and materialism is also lacking. The present research addressed these gaps by: a) manipulating the degree to which participants noticed and paid attention to nature over a two-week period; b) measuring participants' levels of post-intervention well-being (i.e., net-positive affect, elevating feelings, and sense of meaning), general connectedness, prosocial behaviour, and materialism; and, c) examining the pattern of relationships between these variables. Participants were randomly assigned to take photographs of either natural or built scenes/features that evoked in them strong emotions, or they were assigned to a no-photograph control condition. Participants uploaded their photos to a research website and indicated what feelings were evoked by the scenes. Following the two-week period, participants completed post-intervention measures of the dependent variables. Results showed that noticing nature over the course of a two-week period had beneficial individual and social effects. Post-intervention levels of well-being (i.e., net-positive affect and feelings related to elevation), general connectedness, and prosocial behaviour were higher for participants in the nature condition, compared to participants in the built and control conditions. These effects were not moderated by trait levels of connectedness to nature or engagement with beauty, nor were they moderated by dosage of nature. Post-intervention levels of sense of meaning and materialism did not differ between conditions. Mediation analyses did not reveal significant mediation pathways.<br>Irving K.

Abstract Descriptions of Schubert’s nature written after his death by two of his friends from the Stadtkonvikt days provide a starting-point for an attempt to understand the character and personality of the composer. Josef von Spaun, his first benefactor, was one of Schubert’s most reliable, kindly, and generous friends, both throughout his life and long after he died in November 1828. His loyalty to, and affection for, Schubert led him in the spring of 1829 to write in an obituary of his friend: ‘He was uncommonly frank, sincere, incapable of malice, friendly, grateful, modest, sociable, communicative in joy but keeping his sorrows to himself ... free from all bitterness ... his attachment to his home, to his friends and to his native city was so great .. .’ .1

Full textAbstract:
Helicopter reaches its flight domain limit at high-thrust forward flight or maneuver with high load factors because of dynamic stall. This phenomenon is due to complex unsteady three-dimensional flow separation mechanisms that occur on the retreating blade. These flow separations can be of different natures depending on the flight conditions. This paper proposes to investigate numerically two significantly different cases of dynamic stall on a helicopter rotor in forward flight. The results show that the numerical simulation can capture the variations of section pitching moment associated with dynamic stall, for each of these two flight cases. A deep analysis of the numerical results allows to identify distinct flow separation regions appearing on the rotor disk. Similarities and differences are highlighted between the dynamic stall characteristics of these two rotor flight conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A continuing trend in industrial cooling water systems is operation under increasingly severe conditions (e.g. higher alkalinity, temperature, hardness, and pH). To maintain the desired level of scale and corrosion inhibition, use of treatment programs specifically designed to operate under those stresses is necessary. Evaluation of two non-chromate programs, based on the all-organic and alkaline zinc formulations, will be presented. The data and concepts described in this paper were obtained from three sources: static laboratory tests, dynamic process simulation (Pilot Cooling Towers), and mechanistic studies. Since the polymeric scale inhibitor is a major key to a program’s success, information on a new series of polymers will be presented. Static tests will examine the ability of polymers to inhibit and disperse a spectrum of scaling species. Use of severe test conditions (e.g. high temperature, high pH, low polymer dosage, etc.) will emphasize improvements in performance. Results from pilot cooling tower evaluations will be listed and compared to static test results. Those comparisons will demonstrate why dynamic tests are required for proper performance evaluation and that static tests alone are insufficient. Mechanistic studies will provide insights on how scale inhibition and dispersion occur in bulk recirculating waters and at heated metal surfaces. Those studies will also address the independent and interrelated natures of scale and corrosion mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
Knowledge of cap-bubbly flows is of great interest due to its role in understanding of flow regime transition from bubbly to slug or churn-turbulent flow. One of the key characteristics of such flows is the existence of bubbles in different sizes and shapes associated with their distinctive dynamic natures. This important feature is, however, generally not well captured by available two-phase flow models. In view of this, a modified two-fluid model, namely a three-field two-fluid model, is proposed. In this model, bubbles are categorized into two groups, i.e., spherical/distorted bubbles as Group-1 while cap/churn-turbulent bubbles as Group-2. A two-group interfacial area transport equation (IATE) is implemented to describe the dynamic changes of interfacial structure in each group, resulting from intra- and inter-group interactions and phase changes due to evaporation and condensation. Attention is also paid to the appropriate constitutive relations of the interfacial transfers due to mechanical and thermal non-equilibrium between different fields. The proposed three-field two-fluid model is used to predict the phase distributions of adiabatic air-water flows in a narrow rectangular duct. Good agreement between the simulation results from the proposed model and relevant experimental data indicates that the proposed model may be used as a reliable computational tool for two-phase flow simulations in narrow rectangular flow geometry.

To prevent the warming global environment, the hydropower should occupy the attention of the electric power generation systems as clean and cool energy sources with the highest density. For the next leap in the hydroelectric power developments, however, we are under obligations to conserve natural ecosystems and/or to coexist with natures. To meet such circumstances, this paper proposes two kinds of the new type hydroelectric unit applicable to tidal currents, mountain torrents, rivers and/or water drain systems, and discusses the characteristics of the model turbine/unit.

Typical color blindness is a consequence of loss of some types of cones, and the natures of color blindness has been studied through psychophysical experiments and/or predicted by color vision models. This paper describes neural network models for normal and dichromatic color vision which realize nonlinear mapping from cone space defined by cone responses, into perceived color space defined by responses of one achromatic and two chromatic responses.

Full textAbstract:
Electro-Chemical Machining (ECM) is an advanced machining technology. It has been applied to highly specialized fields such as aerospace, aeronautics and medical industries. However, it still has some problems to be overcome. The efficient tool-design, electrolyte processing, and disposal of metal hydroxide sludge are the typical issues. To solve such problems, CFD is considered to be a powerful tool in the near future. However, the numerical method that can satisfactorily predict ECM process has not been established because of the complex flow natures. In the present study, we investigate the modeling of the two-phase flow (i.e. fluid and hydrogen bubbles) in ECM process. First, we present two models to calculate flow fields in ECM process. One is based on one-way coupling method, neglecting the effect from gas-phase to liquid-phase. The other takes account of the interaction between gas and liquid phases, namely two-way coupling method. In the later method, assuming that electrolyte and hydrogen bubbles have same velocity, we simplified the governing equations with Low Mach number approximation. We simulated ECM process for a flat plate channel configuration. And, we verified the present models by comparing the numerical result with the experimental data.

Full textAbstract:
L’exposé souhaite comparer les romans Tout-monde (1993) de Édouard Glissant (1922-2011) et Midnight’s Children (1981) de Salman Rushdie (1947- ) en les lisant comme cases d’étude du « roman-monde » théorisé par le même Glissant dans Poétique de la Relation (1990), c’est-à-dire comme la réécriture « créolisée » de la structure discursive du colonisateur. La migration de la propre terre d’origine (Martinique et Inde) vers la terre du colonisateur (France et Angleterre) fait percevoir aux deux écrivains ses natures de « hommes-traduits », c’est-à-dire de sujets entre-deux cultures et histoires. Dans les deux romans cette expérience permet la déconstruction de l’auctorialité occidentale vers la création d’un « auteur-rhizome » : un « pacotilleur » d’une « mer d’histoires » qui se démultiplie dans des différentes « identités-relation » dialoguant dans le texte. Il en découle une structure romanesque qui nie la logique narrative occidentale cause-effet, s’appuyant sur le retour « à spiral » de motifs thématiques et formels, sur la déconstruction du canon grâce à l’hybridation des sources et des genres littéraires à la fois européens, américaines (Glissant) et orientales (Rushdie), et surtout sur la polyphonie des voix et des langues. En fait la langue du colonisateur (français et anglais) ne vient pas abandonnée (comme dans autres expériences postcoloniales), en revanche elle est « créolisée » à travers des processus d’oralisation et de pluralisation à partir du créole, de l’italien e de l’anglais (Glissant), du dialecte de Bombay, de l’urdu et de l’arabe (Rushdie).

Full textAbstract:
Since its launch in 2021, the Engineering With Nature® (EWN®) program has funded research focused in a variety of environments, particularly along marine and freshwater coasts and fluvial (riverine) systems. Until recently, there has been less focus on applying EWN principles in urban landscapes and watersheds to help manage flood risk, a main civil works mission of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Natural hazard challenges, including intense rainfall events, are contributing to flooding and prompting the need for more sustainable infrastructure to reduce flood risks in urban areas. This is especially relevant when such nature-based solutions (NBS) are desired by stakeholders who stand to benefit from the project. This technical note documents a USACE Chicago District (LRC) project that supports USACE Los Angeles District (SPL) to incorporate EWN principles in an urban ephemeral creek to reduce flood risk while providing other environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Full textAbstract:
To deliver infrastructure that sustain our communities, economy, and environment, we must innovate, modernize, and even revolutionize our approach to infrastructure development. Change takes courage, but as one starts down the path of innovation, what was once novel becomes more familiar, more established. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is walking this path with our partners through the Engineering With Nature (EWN) Initiative, integrating human engineering with natural systems. The International Guidelines on Natural and Nature-Based Features for Flood Risk Management are the next step toward revolutionary infrastructure development—a set of real-world guidelines to help familiarize us with what was once novel. USACE and collaborators around the world have been building, learning, and documenting the best practices for constructing Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for decades. The consolidation of these lessons into a single guidance document gives decision-makers and practitioners a much-needed resource to pursue, consider, and apply NNBF for flood risk management while expanding value through infrastructure. Relationships and partnerships are vital ingredients for innovation and progress. The NNBF Guidelines was achieved because of the strong relationships in the nature-based engineering community. The magnitude and diversity of contributors to the NNBF Guidelines have resulted in a robust resource that provides value beyond a single agency, sector, or nation. Similarly, the work of incorporating NNBF into projects will require us to strengthen our relationships across organizations, mandates, and missions to achieve resilient communities. I hope you are inspired by the collaborative achievement of the NNBF Guidelines and will draw from this resource to develop innovative solutions to current and future flood risk management challenges. There is a lot we can achieve together along the path of revolutionary infrastructure development.

Full textAbstract:
The application of natural and nature‑based features (NNBF) has grown steadily over the past 20 years, supported by calls for innovation in flood risk management (FRM) and nature‑based solutions from many different perspectives and organizations. Technical advancements in support of NNBF are increasingly the subject of peer‑reviewed and other technical literature. A variety of guidance has been published by numerous organizations to inform program‑level action and technical practice for specific types of nature‑based solutions. This effort to develop international guidelines on the use of NNBF was motivated by the need for a comprehensive guide that draws directly on the growing body of knowledge and experience from around the world to inform the process of conceptualizing, planning, designing, engineering, constructing, and operating NNBF.

Full textAbstract:
This special report discusses the outcomes of a September 2019 workshop intended to identify barriers to the consideration and implementation of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) in US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) civil works projects. A total of 23 participants representing seven USACE districts, the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), and the University of California–Santa Cruz met at USACE’s South Atlantic Division Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss how to facilitate the implementation of NNBF into USACE project planning for wetlands and reefs using six categories: (1) site characterization, (2) engineering and design analysis, (3) life-cycle analysis, (4) economic analysis, (5) construction analysis, (6) and operation and maintenance (and monitoring). The workshop identified seven future directions in wetland and reef NNBF research and development: • Synthesize existing literature and analysis of existing projects to better define failure modes. • Determine trigger points that lead to loss of feature function. • Identify performance factors with respect to coastal storm risk management (CSRM) performance as well as ecological performance. • Focus additional research into cobenefits of NNBF. • Quantify the economic life-cycle costs of a project. • Improve technology transfer with regards to NNBF research and topics.

Full textAbstract:
Much of recent human development has come at the expense of Nature - undermining ecosystems, fragmenting habitats, reducing biodiversity, and increasing our exposure and vulnerability to emerging diseases. For example, as we push deeper into tropical forests, and convert more land to agriculture and human settlements, the rate at which people encounter new pathogens that may trigger the next public health, social and economic crisis, is likely to increase. Expanding and strengthening our understanding of the links between nature and human health is especially important in Africa, where nature brings economic prosperity and wellbeing to more than a billion people. Pandemics such as COVID are just one of a growing number of health challenges that humanity is facing as a result of our one-sided and frequently destructive relationship with nature. This report aims to inform professionals and decision-makers on how health outcomes emerge from human interactions with the natural world and identify how efforts to preserve the natural environment and sustainably manage natural resources could have an impact on human and animal health. While the report focuses on the African continent, it will also be of relevance to other areas of the world facing similar environmental pressures.

Full textAbstract:
In this introductory comic from Future Natures, we explore the multiple crises produced by values that create artificial divisions between humans and the rest of nature. Through empires and colonisation to their existing forms in modern capitalism, nature has been commodified, privatised and enclosed. But alternatives are all around us. Commoning offers a radically different way of valuing resources and other ‘social goods’, in agroecology, urban commons, creativity and technology, and more. Commoning not only helps to address people’s immediate needs, here and now. By making us think about what we value and how we value it, commoning can open up many possible and imagined futures.

Full textAbstract:
The workshop “Collaborative Development of Natural and Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Resiliency in the Arctic and Adjacent Regions” was held in Reston, Virginia, October 24–25, 2023. The objective was to assemble diverse international partners in a hybrid in-person and virtual setting to focus on the viability of applying Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to solve engineering challenges in the Arctic and similar cold region locations. The goals of the two-day workshop were to share recent efforts implementing NBS to mitigate coastal hazards such as flooding and erosion in northern high latitude settings and identify requirements and develop a robust program of activities to advance this work at national, regional, and local levels. This workshop report documents the presentations and discussion and summarizes key needs and recommendations for future engagement identified by speakers and workshop participants.
