description: We present a novel proposal to generate an optical vortex beam by using the coherent-superposition of multi-beams in a radial symmetrical configuration. In terms of the generalized Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral, we have derived the general propagation expression for the coherent radial laser arrays. Based on the derived formulae, we have analyzed the effects of the beamlet number, the separation distance of the beamlets and the topological charge on the intensity and phase distributions of the resulted beams. Our simulation results show that optical vortices could be efficiently formed and generated due to the interference and superposition effect of all the beamlets, during the propagation process of the coherent radial laser arrays with the initial well-organized phase distributions through the free space. In the focusing system, the resulted beam near the focusing plane has the strong rotation effect with the phase helicity.

description: Scalar-tensor quintessence models can be constrained by identifying suitable cosmic clocks which allow to select confidence regions for cosmological parameters. In particular, we constrain the characterizing parameters of non-minimally coupled scalar-tensor cosmological models which admit exact solutions of the Einstein field equations. Lookback time to galaxy clusters at low intermediate, and high redshifts is considered. The high redshift time-scale problem is also discussed in order to select other cosmic clocks such as quasars.

description: AFINET is a European Union funded project which overall objective of AFINET is the promotion and innovation of European Agroforestry (AF) through the development of a multi-actor
interactive and innovation-driven network, based on successful sharing of practical experiences and existing research knowledge, applied to different contexts, climates and agricultural sectors. AFINET will modify AF systems design and management in order to increase the
agricultural systems production and profitability to promote a sustainable land management
throughout Europe. AFINET networking is based on nine Regional Innovation Networks in the
nine countries where it is based where over 300 stakeholders meet every six months. AFINET
first meeting aimed at asking farmers which are the main challenges to foster agroforestry in
Europe. Among all, challenges could be summarized in four main topics: technical, economic,
education and policy. Solutions to these challenges were discussed with all stakeholders and
a provisional list of innovations was produced that has been validated in the third RAIN meeting. Innovation topics can be seen in Table 1 and the technical challenge can be grouped in
several clusters: Livestock management, Lower story management, woody perennials management and horizontal innovation clusters for the technical challenge.

description: In this article, I classify the totally geodesic submanifolds in the complex 2-Grassmannians and in the quaternionic 2-Grassmannians. It turns out that for both of these spaces, the earlier classification of maximal totally geodesic submanifolds in Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank 2, published by Chen and Nagano (B.-Y. Chen, T. Nagano, "Totally geodesic submanifolds of symmetric spaces, II", Duke Math. J. 45 (1978), 405--425) is incomplete. For example, G_2(H^n) with n >= 7 contains totally geodesic submanifolds isometric to a HP^2, its metric scaled such that the minimal sectional curvature is 1/5; they are maximal in G_2(H^7). Also G_2(C^n) with n >= 6 contains totally geodesic submanifolds which are isometric to a CP^2 contained in the HP^2 mentioned above; they are maximal in G_2(C^6). Neither submanifolds are mentioned in the cited paper by Chen and Nagano.

description: 31. * Leydigia (Neoleydigia) australis Sars, 1885
Localities and specimens found: 15 – 1♀; 16 – 1♀ ov; 26 –1j.
Distribution and ecology. Leydigia australis is a representative of the genus from Australia, which has also been recorded in some countries of Southeast and South Asia, namely Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, India (Fernando 1974, 1980; Maiphae et al. 2008; Tanaka & Ohtaka 2010; Rane 2011; Choedchim et al. 2017; Choedchim & Maiphae 2023). However, some of these detections are questionable and most likely relate to other species (see details in Remarks below) (Chatterjee et al. 2013; Kotov et al. 2013b; Sharma & Sharma 2017). In Vietnam, L. australis was first discovered in the course of present studies of the meiobenthos (Gusakov et al. 2014).
The lifestyle and ecology of the species have not been studied in depth. Obviously, like other members of the genus, L. australis belongs to the typical bottom-dwelling chydorids (Kotov 2006). The crustacean was recorded in the benthos of the open and overgrown littoral of lakes, in dams and other lentic water bodies (Fernando 1974, 1980; Choedchim et al. 2017; Choedchim & Maiphae 2023). In our material, single individuals were found on the bottom of shallow, moderately vegetated areas of a natural lake and in the littoral of a small reservoir (see Appendix 1).
Remarks. The status of the Oriental populations of L. australis needs further study. According to the main external features, the individuals we found in Vietnam correspond to the diagnosis of this species given in the latest revision of the genus (Kotov 2009). A little later, Kotov et al. (2013b) assigned L. australis to a species group whose Southeast Asian populations are possibly separate species requiring formal description. Chatterjee et al. (2013) noted that the Indian records of L. australis known at that time most likely refer to L. ciliata (Gauthier, 1939). Described from Sri Lanka, subspecies L. australis ceylonica (Daday, 1898) (Smirnov 1971) is now positioned as the valid species L. ceylonica (Daday, 1898) (Chatterjee et al. 2013; Kotov et al. 2013a; WoRMS Editorial Board 2024). According to Chatterjee et al. (2013), a specimen from Cambodia listed by Tanaka & Ohtaka (2010) as L. australis also belongs to L. ceylonica.

description: The primary objective of the Beyond Einstein Advanced Coherent Optical Network (BEACON) mission is a search for new physics beyond general relativity by measuring the curvature of relativistic space-time around Earth. This curvature is characterized by the Eddington parameter γ-- the most fundamental relativistic gravity parameter and a direct measure for the presence of new physical interactions. BEACON will achieve an accuracy of 1 x 10^{-9} in measuring the parameter γ, thereby going a factor of 30,000 beyond the present best result involving the Cassini spacecraft. Secondary mission objectives include: (i) a direct measurement of the "frame-dragging" and geodetic precessions in the Earth's rotational gravitomagnetic field, to 0.05% and 0.03% accuracy correspondingly, (ii) first measurement of gravity's non-linear effects on light and corresponding 2nd order spatial metric's effects to 0.01% accuracy. BEACON will lead to robust advances in tests of fundamental physics -- this mission could discover a violation or extension of general relativity and/or reveal the presence of an additional long range interaction in physics. BEACON will provide crucial information to separate modern scalar-tensor theories of gravity from general relativity, probe possible ways for gravity quantization, and test modern theories of cosmological evolution.

The influence of environmental factors on the nitrogenous excretion of the spot prawn, Pandalus platyceros
Creators: name: Quarmby, Lynne Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: There exist many conflicting reports on the influence of environmental factors on the nitrogenous excretion of marine invertebrates. In an attempt to resolve these paradoxes, the composition and rates of nitrogenous excretion of the spot prawn, Pandalus platyceros, were examined under carefully controlled conditions. The animals were incubated for relatively short periods (1 to 2 hours), keeping bacterial density to a minimum: excretion was measured by the accumulation of nitrogenous compounds in the incubation water. Although the incubation water inhibited the activity of urease, this inhibition was overcome by the use of increased concentrations of urease in urea analysis. Ammonium excretion rates of 0 to 10.5 μg-at NH₄⁺-N g⁻¹h⁻¹ were observed, while the rate of excretion of urea ranged from 0 to 5.7 μg-at Urea-N g⁻¹h⁻¹. These rates were highly dependent on temperature, salinity and diet with the effects of each factor determined by life stage. Response to temperature was more complex than changes in metabolic rates and, similarly, reduction in the rate of metabolism due to salt stress was not enough to explain the effects of salinity on nitrogenous excretion. Young prawns did not excrete as much ammonium as expected on the basis of body size. Excretion of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), other than urea, occassionally constituted a significant proportion of the nitrogen excreted but was highly irregular and on average did not contribute significantly to the nitrogneous excretion of any study group. Diet influenced the composition and rates of nitrogenous excretion of the euphausiid, Euphausia pacifica, the amphipod Ampithoe simulans, and the shrimp Eualus pusiolus as well as P. platyceros. In each case the effect was correlated with the ratio of protein to carbohydrate in the diet. Urea was an important excretory product of each of the four species of marine Crustacea examined.

description: Walking practices are experiencing a revival in the post-millennial world. Chief among these is the discipline of pilgrimage. The purpose of this research was to explore the pilgrimage trope as a pathway to spiritual renewal for Ottawa’s Shepherds of Good Hope (SGH) volunteers. A form of substitute pilgrimage identified as ‘virtual pilgrimage’ (VP) was adapted to simulate the last 100 km. of the Camino de Santiago trail. A purposive random sample of twelve SGH volunteers (six men and six women) walked the distance virtually, over a period of six weeks. Each week, the participants were given a reflection question to focus their walks and their journal accounts. The research methodology was configured around Richard Osmer’s four-task cycle for practical theological research. The data was collected by way of a questionnaire, a focus group, and the participants’ journal accounts. NVIVO software was used to analyze the data, and Stephen Bevans’ “praxis model” was used to interpret the results. Virtual pilgrimage encompasses many of the themes associated with the traditional distance pilgrimage, including suspension of regular routines, intentionality, experiences of blessedness and beauty, and encounters with sacred mystery that inspired social action. The results showed that like the traditional, distance pilgrimage, virtual pilgrimage contains a parallel facility for spiritual renewal, with potential wide-ranging applications in the health, human, and social services fields.

description: In order to simulate observational and experimental situations, we consider a leak in the phase space of a chaotic dynamical system. We obtain an expression for the escape rate of the survival probability applying the theory of transient chaos. This expression improves previous estimates based on the properties of the closed system and explains dependencies on the position and size of the leak and on the initial ensemble. With a subtle choice of the initial ensemble, we obtain an equivalence to the classical problem of Poincare recurrences in closed systems, which is treated in the same framework. Finally, we show how our results apply to weakly chaotic systems and justify a split of the invariant saddle in hyperbolic and nonhyperbolic components, related, respectively, to the intermediate exponential and asymptotic power-law decays of the survival probability.

description: In Bose-Einstein condensation, a macroscopically large number of particles occupy the same single-particle quantum state. Our goal is to study time-dependent aspects of particle excitations to states other than the single-particle macroscopic state in trapped dilute atomic gases. We adopt the view that atoms are excited in pairs so that their scattering from the single-particle state to vector positions x and y at time t is described by the pair-excitation function, K0(x,y,t). We solve a nonlocal equation for K0 under a slowly varying external potential by assuming that the wave function of the macroscopic state satisfies a time-independent nonlinear Schroedinger equation. For zero initial excitation (K0=0 at t=0) and sufficiently large t, we evaluate asymptotically K0 in terms of the one-variable Lommel function for any distance |x-y|.

The natural variation of sediment phosphorus fractions in the littoral zone of Vernon Arm, Okanagan Lake, British Columbia
Creators: name: Petticrew, Ellen Lesley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The variability of sediment phosphorus in the littoral zone of Vernon Arm of Okanagan Lake, British Columbia was investigated. Spatial variability was determined by transects and comparisons of two environmentally different zones. Temporal variability, was determined from a seasonal sampling period of 52 days and an early summer 10 day period was evaluated. The natural variation of sediment P concentration was seen to associate spatially with physical sediment characteristics. Temporal variation was observed in each fraction. Replicate sampling of sediment P fractions at one site and at one point in time indicated that the only significant natural variation was in the organic P fraction. In a short time period (10 days) organic P and non-apatite inorganic P concentrations were seen to vary, presumably due to temperature fluctuations. Over a longer period (52 days) apatite P and non-apatite inorganic P were altered in a weedy near shore site but not in a deeper non-weedy zone. The role of weeds in the nutrient transfers between water and sediment were noted to be of significance. Resuspension of bottom sediments due to turbulent water conditions was determined to be the parameter effective in altering sediment P fractions during the summer of 1979. Iron in Vernon Arm sediments was not found to control phosphate levels by chemical precipitation but rather appeared to play a role in adsorption-desorption processes as non-occluded iron complexes.

description:  Abstract
 In recent years the relationship between the energy produced and the amount of fresh water needed in the process is attracting increasing attention. In this work we have carried out a systematic study of that relationship using the Water Footprint (WF) approach. We have compared the contribution of each energy source, distinguishing between renewable and non-renewable, in the production of electricity in Spain during the last three decades, to later relate each energy source to its corresponding consumptive Water Footprint. For comparative purposes, we have also extended our analysis to other European countries
 and to the region of Andalusia. We also performed a study over a sample of six different-type Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP) in the province of Granada to estimate the Used Fresh Water (UFW) along the full chain of treating water in the plants.

description: Significant insights into non-Abelian quantum Hall states were obtained from studying special multi-particle interaction Hamiltonians, whose unique ground states are the Moore-Read and Read-Rezayi states for the case of spinless electrons. We generalize this approach to include the electronic spin-1/2 degree of freedom. We demonstrate that in the absence of Zeeman splitting the ground states of such Hamiltonians have large degeneracies and very rich spin structures. The spin structure of the ground states and low-energy excitations can be understood based on an emergent SU(3) symmetry for the case corresponding to the Moore-Read state. These states with different spin quantum numbers represent non-Abelian quantum Hall states with different magnetizations, whose quasi-hole properties are likely to be similar to those of their spin polarized counterparts.

description: In continuation of previous work, numerical results are presented, concerning relativistically counter-streaming plasmas. Here, the relativistic mixed mode instability evolves through, and beyond, the linear saturation -- well into the nonlinear regime. Besides confirming earlier findings, that wave power initially peaks on the mixed mode branch, it is observed that, during late time evolution wave power is transferred to other wave numbers. It is argued that the isotropization of power in wavenumber space may be a consequence of weak turbulence. Further, some modifications to the ideal weak turbulence limit is observed. Development of almost isotropic predominantly electrostatic -- partially electromagnetic -- turbulent spectra holds relevance when considering the spectral emission signatures of the plasma, namely bremsstrahlung, respectively magneto-bremsstrahlung (synchrotron radiation and jitter radiation) from relativistic shocks in astrophysical jets and shocks from gamma-ray bursts and active galactic nuclei.

Furthermore, we show that nef toric vector bundles have a nonvanishing global section at every point, and deduce that the underlying vector bundle is trivial if and only if its restriction to every invariant curve is trivial. We apply our methods and results to study, in particular, the vector bundles M_L that arise as the kernel of the evaluation map on sections of L, when L is an ample line bundle. We give examples of twists of such bundles that are ample but not globally generated.

description: TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology is a defining feature of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). In FTLD-TDP there is a moderate-to-high burden of morphologically distinctive TDP-43 immunoreactive inclusions distributed throughout the brain. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), similar TDP-43 immunoreactive inclusions are observed. In AD, however, there is a unique phenomenon of neurofibrillary tangle-associated TDP-43 (TATs) whereby TDP-43 intermingles with neurofibrillary tangles. Little is known about the characteristics and distribution of TATs, or how burden and distribution of TATs compares to burden and distribution of other FTLD-TDP-like lesions observed in AD. Here we characterize molecular fragment characteristics, burden and distribution of TATs and assess how these features compare to features of other TDP-43 lesions. We performed TDP-43 immunohistochemistry with anti-phosphorylated, C- and N-terminal TDP-43 antibodies in 20 high-probability AD cases and semi-quantitative burden of seven inclusion types within five brain regions (entorhinal cortex, subiculum, CA1 and dentate gyrus of hippocampus, occipitotemporal cortex). Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to analyze the dataset that consisted of 75 different combinations of neuropathological features. TATs were nonspherical with heterogeneous staining patterns and present in all regions except hippocampal dentate. All three antibodies detected TATs although N-terminal antibody sensitivity was low. Three clusters were identified: Cluster-1 had mild-moderate TATs, moderate-frequent neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions, dystrophic neurites, neuronal intranuclear inclusions and fine neurites, and perivascular and granular inclusions identified only with the N-terminal antibody throughout the brain; Cluster-2 had scant TATs in limbic regions and Cluster-3 mild-moderate TATs and mild-moderate neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions and dystrophic neurites throughout the brain and moderate fine neurites. Only 17% of cluster 1 cases had the TMEM106b GG (protective) haplotype and 83% had hippocampal sclerosis. Both features differed across clusters (p=0.03 & p=0.01). TATs have molecular characteristics, distribution and burden, and genetic and pathologic associations like FTLD-TDP lesions.

description: Dark Matter (DM) density is reduced if entropy production takes place after DM particles abundance is frozen out in the early universe. We study a possibility of such reduction due to entropy production in the electroweak phase transition (EWPT). We compare scenarios of entropy production in the standard model (SM) and its simplest extension, the two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM). Assuming the EWPT is of second order in the SM scenario and the first order in the 2HDM, we calculate the entropy release in these scenarios and the corresponding dilution of preexisting DM density in the early universe. We find the effect of dilution in EWPT significant for confrontation with observations of any form of possible DM (including primordial black holes (PBHs)), which is frozen out, decoupled, frozen in, or formed before EWPT.

Thinking and Doing Christian Social Ethics in Croatia

description: Der kroatische Zugang zur Christlichen Sozialethik liegt seit rund dreißig Jahren in der Verknüpfung der Katholischen Soziallehre mit dem theologischen Einsatz für ihre Umsetzung im konkreten Leben von Kirche
und Gesellschaft. Zum leichteren Verständnis der Gegebenheiten in Kroatien geht der erste Teil des Beitrags auf den gesellschafts- und kulturgeschichtlichen Kontext ein, der Kroatien in den mitteleuropäischen Kulturkreis einbettet. Nach der Wende im Jahre 1990 gab es in Gesellschaft und Kirche ein starkes Interesse für die Katholische Soziallehre. Als Reaktion darauf wurde von theologischer Seite der Lehrstuhl für Katholische Soziallehre an der Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultät der Universität Zagreb (2000) sowie von Seiten der Amtskirche das Zentrum zur Förderung der katholischen Soziallehre gegründet und offiziell eröffnet (1998). Der Beitrag zeichnet das kroatische Modell nach, wie Christliche Sozialethik in Kroatien gedacht und praktiziert wird und wie dort die Katholische Soziallehre praktisch zur Anwendung kommt und kommen kann. Dieses Modell hat seine Besonderheiten, die sich mit der Entwicklung der Christlichen Sozialethik in anderen Ländern und Kulturkreisen, in denen Christen leben und wirken, vergleichen lassen.

The Chiral Anomaly in SCET

description: Anomalies are an infrared effect, but are often realized in effective theories in a non-trivial way. We study the chiral anomaly in Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), where the anomaly equation has terms contributing at different orders in the power expansion. The chiral anomaly equations in SCET are computed up to NNLO in the power counting with external collinear and/or ultrasoft gluons. We do this by expanding the QCD anomaly equation, using the tree level (LO in α_s) relations between QCD and SCET fields. The validity of this correspondence between the anomaly equations is confirmed by direct computation of the one-loop diagrams in SCET.

description: Die Christliche Sozialethik (CSE) in der Schweiz ist wesentlich von der konfessionellen Konfliktgeschichte im 19. Jahrhundert, der Gesellschaft mit unterschiedlichen Sprachen und Kulturen sowie neueren gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen wie der Migration und Säkularisierung geprägt. In einem ersten Teil werden einige Schlaglichter auf soziohistorische Entwicklungen geworfen, im zweiten Teil ein Überblick über die Landschaft von Institutionen und Organisationen gegeben, welche gegenwärtig für Aktivitäten im Bereich der CSE stehen. Im dritten Teil geht es um Projekte, Personen und Publikationen der CSE in der Schweiz. Als Fazit ergibt sich, dass die CSE in der Schweiz heute von einer Vielfalt philosophischer, politik- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Theorien geprägt ist, die klare Abgrenzungen schwierig macht. Themen sind u. a. die Digitalisierung, der interreligiöse Diskurs, Bezüge zwischen Religion, Ökonomie und Politik, die Menschenrechte, das ethische Investment, der Klimawandel sowie die Migration.

description: Density of states, dynamic (optical) conductivity and phase diagram of strongly correlated and strongly disordered paramagnetic Anderson-Hubbard model are analyzed within the generalized dynamical mean field theory (DMFT+Σapproximation). Strong correlations are accounted by DMFT, while disorder is taken into account via the appropriate generalization of self-consistent theory of localization. The DMFT effective single impurity problem is solved by numerical renormalization group (NRG) and we consider the three-dimensional system with semi-elliptic density of states. Correlated metal, Mott insulator and correlated Anderson insulator phases are identified via the evolution of density of states and dynamic conductivity, demonstrating both Mott-Hubbard and Anderson metal-insulator transition and allowing the construction of complete zero-temperature phase diagram of Anderson-Hubbard model. Rather unusual is the possibility of disorder induced Mott insulator to metal transition.

description: Neobythites ocellatus Günther, 1887
Figure 4, Tables 1, 3
Neobythites ocellatus Günther, 1887: 103, pl. 21 (fig. B) (off Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, 09°05′S, 34°50′W, 350 fathoms; holotype: BMNH 1887.12.7.43).
Diagnosis. No or one thin and flat spine on hind margin of preopercle; dorsal-fin rays 95–100; anal-fin rays 81–85; pectoral-fin rays 24–27; precaudal vertebrae 12; total vertebrae 56–58; pseudobranchial filaments 3–4; long rakers on anterior gill arch 14–16; head length 21–24% SL; pelvic-fin length 16–22% SL, fins not extending beyond anus; orbit length 5.3–6.1% SL and 22–28% HL; longest gill filament 1.7–2.6% SL and 7.3–8.4% HL; dorsal fin with two ocelli, one smaller ocellus placed closer to fin origin, spot distance 28–30% SL and spot covers 5–7 dorsal-fin rays, and slightly larger central ocellus placed behind line through anus, spot distance 45–50% SL and spot covers 8–11 dorsal-fin rays; both ocellus spots not extending ventrally onto body; preserved specimens with two black ocellus spots; no vertical bars on body; otolith length 5.6–5.8% SL, sulcus length 4.0–4.3% SL, and ostium height 18–21% sulcus length and 28–34% ostium length.
Distribution and size. SW Atlantic, off Bahia, E Brazil at 233–641 m depth. Known up to 148 mm SL.
Comparisons. Neobythites japonicus n. sp. differs from N. kenyaensis and N. ocellatus in having two vs. 0 or 1 reduced preopercular spines, fewer dorsal-fin rays, anal-fin rays, and vertebrae, more pseudobranchial filaments, smaller eyes, and shallower otolith ostium height; furthermore, it differs from N. kenyaensis in having both ocelli placed more anterior on the dorsal fin and longer head and pelvic fin; and it differs from N. ocellatus in having fewer gill rakers and shorter gill filaments.
Neobythites kenyaensis differs from N. ocellatus in having more precaudal vertebrae, fewer gill rakers, shorter upper jaw and pelvic fin, and more posteriorly placed ocelli.
Remarks. Okamoto et al. 2011 considered the colour structure close to the dorsal-fin origin to be merely a black blotch. However, our re-examination revealed a clear ring surrounding the spot (Fig. 4A).
Neobythites ocellatus only has posterior spots, but no posterior ocelli (Nielsen et al. 2009)

description: At 16, Kathryn Joy applied for a passport. To do this, they had to obtain their mother’s death certificate. After growing up in a house in which their father had killed their mother – an act he refused to talk about – Kathryn learned exactly how their mother had died: “gunshot wound to the head”.The bare brutality of this information shocked them into looking anew at their father, escaping from small town to big city, spiralling into trauma-induced mental anguish, and embarking on a journey of self-discovery through tracing their family’s violent history.Eight years of this journey are documented in the new Australian documentary Killjoy.
Prozessontologische Transformationsethik
Creators: name: Frankenreiter, Ivo
Publisher: name: Jahrbuch für Christliche Sozialwissenschaften
Year: 2023

description: Die Diskrepanz zwischen unserem Wissen über den anthropogenen Klimawandel und den Reaktionen darauf bildet eine unabweisbare Herausforderung für die Ethik. Ihr Fokus verschiebt sich dafür von Fragen der Begründung hin zu solchen der Umsetzung. Die Suche nach geeigneten Hebeln setzt bei den Hindernissen an, die ein handlungswirksames Begreifen der Prozesse im Beziehungsgefüge Mensch-Natur blockieren. Damit kommt die ontologische Tiefenschicht vorherrschender Vorstellungen über die Welt und die Stellung des Menschen in ihr in den Blick. Wird Natur als im Wesentlichen unveränderliche Größe, als kontrollierbares und unbegrenztes Warenlager gedacht, bleibt der Weg zur ökosozialen Transformation verstellt. An diesem Doppelaspekt setzt der Versuch einer prozessontologischen Transformationsethik an: Um die Transformationen von Umwelt und Gesellschaft angemessen zu ihrem Gegenstand zu machen, wird die konzeptuelle Form der ethischen Reflexion selbst von statischem zu prozesshaftem Denken transformiert. Über die Bedeutung des Neuen im christlichen Glauben und die strukturelle Dimension einer ökologischen Umkehr erschließt sich eine transformationsethische Fokussierung Christlicher Sozialethik.

Rupture by damage accumulation in rocks
Creators: name: Amitrano, David
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The deformation of rocks is associated with microcracks nucleation and propagation, i.e. damage. The accumulation of damage and its spatial localization lead to the creation of a macroscale discontinuity, so-called "fault" in geological terms, and to the failure of the material, i.e. a dramatic decrease of the mechanical properties as strength and modulus. The damage process can be studied both statically by direct observation of thin sections and dynamically by recording acoustic waves emitted by crack propagation (acoustic emission). Here we first review such observations concerning geological objects over scales ranging from the laboratory sample scale (dm) to seismically active faults (km), including cliffs and rock masses (Dm, hm). These observations reveal complex patterns in both space (fractal properties of damage structures as roughness and gouge), time (clustering, particular trends when the failure approaches) and energy domains (power-law distributions of energy release bursts). We use a numerical model based on progressive damage within an elastic interaction framework which allows us to simulate these observations. This study shows that the failure in rocks can be the result of damage accumulation.
