An assessment of the creep behaviour of Brazilian salt rocks using the multi-mechanism deformation model

Salt rocks are geomaterials that exhibit several peculiarities, which require a particular approach in rock mechanics. In the field, those rocks are usually found in layered/bedded deposits and in domes or similar structures. Creep is one of the main deformation mechanisms associated with salt rocks, and this phenomenon is highly dependent on the stress state, temperature and mineralogy. Salt rock mechanics for engineering applications requires the definition of a powerful constitutive model and this is an ongoing challenge. Among the many available models, one of the most sophisticated physical constitutive models for salt rocks is the multi-mechanism deformation creep model (MD model). The main contribution of this work is to present a first effort in the use of the MD model for Brazilian salt rocks. Material-sensitive parameters have been calibrated for the Brazilian halite through two methodologies. Salt is modelled as an elasto-viscoplastic material. Numerical simulations using the finite element method have been carried out for triaxial creep tests, Pre-salt wellbore closure and mining gallery convergence in order to validate the parameter set and the methodologies. Excellent results have been observed in most of the applications for validation. Even so, validation efforts should continue to consolidate the parameters and identify possible limitations.
Botulinum Toxin A for Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis

Botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A), derived from Clostridium botulinum, has been used clinically for several diseases or syndrome including chronic migraine, spasticity, focal dystonia and other neuropathic pain. Chronic pelvic or bladder pain is the one of the core symptoms of bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). However, in the field of urology, chronic bladder or pelvic pain is often difficult to eradicate by oral medications or bladder instillation therapy. We are looking for new treatment modality to improve bladder pain or associated urinary symptoms such as frequency and urgency for patients with BPS/IC. Recent studies investigating the mechanism of the antinociceptive effects of BoNT A suggest that it can inhibit the release of peripheral neurotransmitters and inflammatory mediators from sensory nerves. In this review, we will examine the evidence supporting the use of BoNTs in bladder pain from basic science models and review the clinical studies on therapeutic applications of BoNT for BPS/IC.
A Study of the Hazardous Glare Potential to Aviators from Utility-Scale Flat-Plate Photovoltaic Systems

The potential flash glare a pilot could experience from a proposed 25-degree fixed-tilt flat-plate polycrystalline PV system located outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, was modeled for the purpose of hazard quantification. Hourly insolation data measured via satellite for the years 1998 to 2004 was used to perform the modeling. The theoretical glare was estimated using published ocular safety metrics which quantify the potential for a postflash glare after-image. This was then compared to the postflash glare after-image potential caused by smooth water. The results show that the potential for hazardous glare from flat-plate PV systems is similar to that of smooth water and not expected to be a hazard to air navigation.
Impact of lithospheric heterogeneities on continental rifting evolution: Constraints from analogue modelling on South Atlantic margins

Abstract Lithospheric-scale experiments integrated with restored crustal transects are used to study the evolution of the Central Segment (confined between the Rio Grande Fracture Zone to the south and the Chain Fracture Zone to the north) of the South Atlantic margin. The presence of crustal inhomogeneities, located within the Brazilian Santos and Campos basins, have been analysed and modelled in order to better understand their effects on the rift evolution and resulting structural architecture of the conjugate rifted margins. The results show that heterogeneities located within the lower crust can have a remarkable impact on the along-margin segmentation promoting articulated basins with horsts and grabens in response to a relative “strong” rheology, and focused and deeper basins related to a relatively “weak” rheology on the equivalent parts of the conjugate pairs. In particular, at the early-stage rift evolution the deformation is concentrated at the inner margin where, in the presence of a weak lower crust rheology, a main deep listric half-graben fault and associated thick and wedge-shaped syn-rift basin sequences are developed. A strong lower crust rheology, instead, gives rise to more planar, rotated, domino-type faulted basins with thinner sequences directly controlled by the individual fault-blocks. At the late-stage rift evolution, once the effects of the initial crustal rheology inhomogeneities are reduced due to the lithosperic thinning process, the outer margin records a late syn-rift sequence which shows comparable thicknesses for both cases of lower crust rheologies. This tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the rifting process gives rise to along-margin alterations in symmetry versus asymmetry of the width and structural architecture. The performed analogue modelling experiments also indicate that during the rifting evolution pieces of brittle mantle are preserved and could be elevated beneath the developed upper crustal structures, giving rise to complicated predictions for the along-margin heat-flow.
Le modèle italien de l’hospitalité intégrée : Le village de Riace dans l’Italie du sud

Cet article tente de montrer non seulement la crise de l’hospitalité dans nos sociétés contemporaines, mais surtout l’exemple d’un village de l’Italie du Sud, qui a accueilli des réfugiés et instauré ce qu’ils ont appelé « l’hospitalité intégrée ». Nous montrons dans cet article, comment dans un monde mondialisé où les migrants sont devenus des parias, grâce à la volonté d’un homme Mimmo Lucano, maire de Riace, ce projet fou a pu avoir lieu. Au moment où dans les États européens, notamment en France et en Italie, on instaure « le délit de solidarité », quelques femmes et hommes de bonne volonté continuent de lutter pour faire reconnaître le droit de migrer et d’accueillir.

Effects of near surface lithology on velocity modelling and time–depth relationships in the Cooper–Eromanga–Lake Eyre Basin

Structural closures on the western flank of the Patchawarra Trough in the Cooper–Eromanga Basin are truly low relief; drilling opportunities regularly target hydrocarbon columns of similar magnitude to the uncertainty of depth prediction. Improving the accuracy and precision of depth prediction will reduce risk for drilling opportunities, and improve drilling success rates. A detailed study of the near surface geology (surface to ~500 m depth) of the western flank of the Patchawarra Trough has been undertaken to better understand the effect of observed geological variations of the near surface on depth prediction at deeper target levels. The stratigraphic interval investigated includes the top of the Eromanga Basin and the entire Lake Eyre Basin, which is sparingly studied and routinely overlooked in the statics and velocity modelling process. This study analysed recently acquired cased-hole sonic logs in conjunction with gamma logs and mudlog data to map out the observed geological variations, and construct a 3D velocity model of the near surface. Variations of layer thickness and seismic velocity were input into Monte Carlo simulations to investigate sensitivities of each formation on two-way travel time and depth prediction. This investigation has found that velocity variations of the Weathered Winton Formation, and thickness variations of the Namba Clastics have the greatest impact on imaging of structures at depth. Independently, these have the potential to completely conceal or create structures in the time domain. Continued efforts in improved understanding of the near surface will subsequently lead to enhanced imaging of structures, which can then be used in the mapping of structural closures in petroleum exploration and development.
D-cycloserine facilitates extinction of cocaine self-administration in c57 mice

Cocaine is a highly addictive drug of abuse for which there are currently no medications. In rats and mice d-cycloserine (DCS), a partial NMDA agonist, accelerates extinction of cocaine seeking behavior. Since cues delay extinction here, we evaluated the effects d-cycloserine in extinction with and without the presence of cues.Two doses of DCS (15 and 30 mg/kg) were studied in C57 mice. Mice self-administered cocaine (1 mg/kg) for 2 weeks and then underwent a 20-day extinction period where DCS was administered i.p. immediately following each daily session. Extinction was conducted in some mice with the presence of cocaine-paired cues; while others were in the absence of these cues.DCS treated mice (either dose) showed significantly reduced lever pressing during extinction with cue exposures when compared with vehicle treated mice. Without cues, animals showed much lower levels of lever pressing but the differences between vehicle and DCS were not significant.DCS accelerated extinction with the presence of cues, but there were no differences on extinction without cues as compared with vehicle. These findings are consistent with DCS disrupting the memory process associated with the cues. Since drug cues are significantly involved in relapse, these findings support research to assess the therapeutic potential of DCS in cocaine addiction.
Spoils of war: the economic consequences of the great war in central europe

2018 will be a momentous year in Central Europe. It will mark the centenary of the end of World War I and the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. Political disintegration has long been blamed for the economic troubles of the successor states, but these consequences have not been subjected to sufficient examination, nor were they distinguished from the economic consequences of the Great War. 
My ambition is to fill this knowledge gap. I will measure systematically how the war changed (i) industrial structure, (ii) business performance, and (iii) living standards in the regions of the Habsburg Empire. I will explain, using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the mechanisms that drove these changes. I will compare real wages, the spatial distribution of industry, and the performance of industrial corporations between the prewar and postwar periods. I will directly account for the impact of the war on industrial development, independent from the outcomes of postwar disintegration, using abundant, yet understudied, primary data on war spending in the Habsburg Empire. I will detect how the reallocation of resources during the war affected changes in economic conditions (i-iii) and their regional variation. In addition, my project will prepare case studies on key industries to demonstrate how they perceived these changes and what strategies they developed to address them. 
SpoilsofWAR will set a new standard in the economic history of the world wars. It will generate vast volumes of new statistical evidence at the regional and micro level. Methodologically, it will break through traditional boundaries between economic and business history and integrate the analytical tools of both disciplines. It will shift focus in the recent economic history of the wars from the Second to the First World War and will improve our understanding of the economic consequences of the war using newly developed methods from both historical economic geography and comparative business history.
View planning for occluded region with active imaging system

Nowadays, a number of 3D shape measurement methods have been developed such as stereo vision, laser structured light, and Phase Measuring Profilometry (PMP). They have many problems such as correspondence problem, 2π-ambiguity and occlusion problem. Among them, occlusion problem is common problem for 3D shape measurement and well known as difficult to solve. To solve this problem, in our previous research, active imaging system is introduced, which can change the viewing angle without changing of field-of-view (FOV), and can do the FOV with maintaining the viewing angle. And to decide the viewing direction and position, view planning algorithm is developed. The performance of our system is checked by simulation and a series of real experiments.
The syntactic function of a scope marking suffix in Iraqw

A morpheme that plays an important role in the organisation of information structure in the Iraqw sentence is the suffix -o. This suffix is used to indicate the clause that is the scope of negation, of yes/no questioning; the theme of the question; or the constituent that is the basis for comparison. It also indicates the setting of the sentence and appears on sentence adverbials of time or space. It is common on second objects that are not part of the verbal complex. Verbal nouns that occur outside the verbal complex contain this suffix. The suffix indicates the scope over which an operation is valid and excludes other comparable referents from the operation in question. Its verbal counterpart is a suffix -a which is used with verbal negation and questioning.
Stagnation in Brownfield Redevelopment

Abstract — Purpose of thispaper is two-folded. At first it explainsthe major problems that are causing stagnation in brownfield redevelopment. In addition, these problems given the context of the present multi-actor built environment are becoming more complex to observe. Therefore, this paper suggests also a prospective decision-making approach that is the most appropriate to observe and react on the given stagnation problems. Such an approach should be regarded as prescriptive-interactive decision-making approach, a barely established branch. This approach should offer models that have prescriptive as well as an interactive component enabling them to successfully cope with the multi-actor environment. Overall, this paper provides up-to-date insight on the brownfield stagnation by gradually introducing the nowadays major problems and offers a prospective decision-making approach how these problems could be tackled. Keywords — BR, decision-m aking approach, stagntion,the Netherlands. I. B
A Context-Sensitive Tool to Support Mobile Technology Acceptance Research

Context of usage significantly influences acceptance of mobile apps. State of the art methods of technology acceptance research can assess limited aspects of context. In this paper, we outline the development of a context-sensitive support tool for mobile technology acceptance research. The tool consists of four basic components (a tracking service, a survey service, an analytics tool and external sensor hardware) that collect context data from sensors, built-in data sources and cloud services during real-world usage and connect it to acceptance information tracked on the smart phone and collected in the course of context-adaptive mobile surveys. The system was developed in a co-creation process that involved potential users, i.e. members of the mobile Living Lab in which the tool will be used.

Experimental Studies on the Roof Pond House under Tropical Climatic Conditions

Thermal performance of a model roof pond house was evaluated experimentally. The house model of 1 m x 1 m x 2.8 m was simply constructed and tested at Chiang Mai University located in Chiang Mai province (700 km North of Bangkok). The roof pond system, a type of passive cooling method, was designed for a combination of trickle roof and intermittent water spraying techniques. Three-layer shading devices made of plastic sheets were also installed above the roof to reduce radiation exposure and enhance heat convection. The roof pond house was tested for various water flow rates, separation of shading devices and solar radiation. The roof pond operated with high water flow rate, installed with larger space, could enhance temperature reduction. It was experimentally demonstrated that it is possible to maintain the indoor temperature 2-4 oC lower than the outdoor temperature using this roof pond system in a tropical climate.
Mechanics with molecules

In this project, single molecule-machines will be constructed and tested on a surface and one at a time, controlling the rotation and the work delivered by a single molecule-motor directly at the atomic scale. The molecule motors and gears, designed and tested by MEMO, will be further adapted to applications requiring collective and synchronous motion. 
The MEMO partners will design molecular motors and gears able to perform collective and synchronous motion. They will test the rotation of such molecule-gears step-by-step according to their chemical composition, the structure of their teeth, their rotational axle, and the supporting surface. MEMO will design molecule-motors adapted to transmit single molecule motion from the atomic scale to the mesoscale (and beyond). 
In MEMO, low-temperature UHV experimental methods including scanning tunneling microscope and four independent scanning probe microscopes on the same surface will be used, as well as atomic force microscope in solution. MEMO will explore how a molecule-gear with ~1 nm diameter can mechanically match a nanofabricated solid-state nano-gear with ~30 nm diameter, produced using e-beam nanolithography and He beam microscope. 
MEMO will create the first miniaturization roadmap for mechanical machinery down to the atomic scale. This roadmap will be explored node by node along the MEMO project, fabricating, micro-fabricating, and nano-fabricating a planar mechanical calculator down to the atomic scale. The last node of the roadmap, using all the molecular machinery results obtained by the MEMO partners during the project, will lead to the design of a molecular Pascaline. 
To disseminate the single molecule-mechanics results to industry, MEMO will organize regular Academy-Industry days with high-tech SMEs. General public dissemination will include the organization of the first and second international molecule-car race.
Solidus: “solidarity in european societies: empowerment, social justice and citizenship”

The current crisis has indirectly contributed to questioning the efficiency of financial markets and democratic institutions at European and national levels. Recent data from the Eurobarometer (July 2013) shows a continuous decrease in the trust levels that citizens from the European Union have on national governments and parliaments, radically decreasing in more than 25 points in the last six years (European Commission, 2013). This situation is jeopardizing the European project while at the same time a lively public debate about the meaning of European identity is taking place across Europe. Several social scientists have argued that the social and economic inequalities in the new global order are contributing to civil social reactions, based on solidarity, aiming to achieve a better society for all (Touraine, 2007; Wright, 2010). 
This project aims to analyzing in depth the acts of solidarity which are being developed across Europe, the extent to which they respond to dialogic and inclusive processes, the related outcomes and the policy developments. The project starts from previous findings on successful actions which are combating the crisis – by creating employment or improving access to health – through acts of solidarity. These acts are thus contributing to construct more inclusive and prosperous societies, by influencing at the macro-level (social inequalities) and micro-level (psychological wellbeing). 
In this regard, the research will identify common elements among these acts in order to examine their transferability to different contexts. To cover this objective, effects of these actions in five social areas will be studied in depth: housing, education, employment, engagement and health. Simultaneously, special attention will be paid on social investment policies which are supporting these initiatives.

Analysis of a Coupled Blowdown from Both RPV and BOP with RELAP5-3D/K for a Limiting FWLB of an ABWR for Containment Design

The limiting blowdown event for the design of an advanced boiling water reactor (ABWR) containment shifts from a conventional recirculation line break to a feedwater line break (FWLB) by implementing reactor internal pumps. As a result, coupled blowdown from both the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and the balance of plant (BOP) is involved in the limiting FWLB. Coupled blowdown from both RPV and BOP for the FWLB of the Lungmen ABWR has been successfully analyzed using the advanced RELAP5-3D/K code. To simulate adequately both the RPV and BOP blowdown, the essential simulation scope of an ABWR includes the reactor system, the main steam and turbine systems, the condensate and feedwater systems, the protection system, and the emergency core cooling system. As compared to what was presented in the preliminary safety analysis report of the Lungmen ABWR, unexpected prolonged decays of BOP blowdown flow and enthalpy were calculated. The revised blowdown flow and enthalpy calculated by RELAP5-3D/K from both RPV and BOP breaks provide a new and solid basis for the final safety analysis of ABWR containment for the Lungmen plant, which is scheduled for commercial operation in 2011. The successful modeling of the entire RPV and BOP with RELAP5-3D/K and associated application to the FWLB licensing blowdown analysis indicate that the advanced RELAP5 code can extend its traditional reactor safety analysis to the simulation and analysis of the entire power generation and conversion systems.
