Abstract:
The Age of Heroic is one of the most significant in the history of mankind. This is because during this period the gods and angels appeared as mythologists and performed heroic deeds. This can be traced back to the ancient literature of Greek and Roman. The period in which the Ramayana and the Mahabharata appeared in India is called the Heroic period. Next to this is the Heroic age of Tamil Nadu. Originating during this period were the Sangam poems, also Called as Cāṉṟōr poems. The first epic of Silappatikaram, which appeared at the end of the Heroic period of Tamil Nadu or the time when the empires appeared, refers to the history of Kannaki who appeared on earth and later became a deity. Elango has created this epic by prioritizing femininity in order to prioritize all the works that appeared during the heroic periods of Greek and Roman. In this epic the characterization, the course of the story, the structure of the story are essential. These support the biosphere of the primary mantras (Kannaki, Kovalan, Madhavi) and the development of the show. Is it possible to consider the epic Silappatikaram, which is considered to be from the 2nd century AD, as a heroic epic? This article is written to address the issue. In this article the elements of the heroic age are discussed in connection with the Silappatikaram.

Abstract:
This article examines the representation of climate change and heroic agency in recent European and North American ecothrillers. Through the use of four literary case studies, it shows how heroic figurations support an idea of climate change as a distinct disastrous event. Moreover, the heroic is shown to bring out images of a threatening other, usually in the shape of a distinct villain, who gives shape to forms of diffuse, indirect agencies as they are associated with anthropogenic climate change. In addition, the ideal positions of hero and perpetrator are articulated to larger normative and ideological frameworks, which the heroic figuration frames as irreconcilable. In this regard, markedly similar structures can be observed in novels that seek to present climate change as a genuine threat, such as L. A. Larkin’s Thirst and texts that follow a climate-sceptic agenda, such as Michael Crichton’s State of Fear. However, this article also shows how the hero’s position towards the sublime, as well as audio-visual tropes of destruction, can entail a tentative reformulation of the recipient, as in Bernard Besson’s The Greenland Breach. Finally, this article turns to Liz Jensen’s The Rapture, which is shown to follow a plot-driven, suspenseful thriller structure but withdraws heroic or prophetic authority over the disaster it represents and, in doing so, brings out the epistemological and ethical instability of the spectator’s position.

Abstract:
Marginalized and queer heroes are being recognized in the resurgence of various types of characters in contemporary hero narratives. In challenging the normative conventions, there are heroic values in the ambiguous presentation of their character which are revived and valorized based on the heroic archetypes presented in the story. Given this, how do we reconcile the normative conventions of hero attributed to queer and deviant representation of his character and heroic deeds? This paper analyzes the contemporary work of Segundo Matias' Moymoy Lulumboy: Ang Batang Aswang. Patterned from Joseph Campbell's normative structure of hero's journey, which models the representation of various nature of character heroes and their established heroic archetypes, this study revealed that a category of heroic deviant exists in portraying character hero in the revival of Aswang lore in contemporary urban legend. Furthermore, this paper affirms that the resurrection of the archetypal pattern and the marginal presentation of the hero and his journey present a re-inscripted image of Aswang from a "rigidly static" to a semi-heroic ascension.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the semantics, structure and plotline of other space in the Yakut heroic epic poetry. The object is the texts of the Yakut heroic epic poetry, namely Olonkho of Vilyuysky tradition. The goal lies in comprehensive analysis of the category of other space in the Yakut heroic epic poetry, particularly Olonkho of Vilyuysky tradition. The article employs the systemic analysis of Olonkho poetics, structural-semantic analysis, and comparative method. Special attention is given to construction of mythopoetic model of the world and correlation between space and plot of the epic poem. The acquired results can be implemented in folklore studies. The novelty of this research consists in the analysis of other space in Olonkho from the perspective of its semantics, structure, and narrative role. This article is first to describe the peculiarities of other space in the texts of Vilyuysky epic tradition. It is determined that other space in the Yakut heroic epic poetry Olonkho is depicted in form of the Lower and Upper worlds, “foreign country” in the Middle world, intermediate zones that hold an important place within the epic worldview and course of events in the plot of Olonkho. The author notes that the texts of Vilyuysky Olonkho preserve the traditional techniques depicting the three worlds; and the difference lies in emergence of the image of shaman dwelling in the intermediate zone, prevalence of the entry into the Lower world without demarcation of its boundaries.

Abstract:
Each genre of folklore grows together with the public concepts and logic. Thoughts and knowledge in the folklore unite common phenomena in the system of people’s artistic thinking. In the course of this process a national identity, life principles, and a common system of thinking appear in the folklore of each nation. Fairy tale is the genre that retains these features. Fairy tales have the ability to help people’s endless dreams and imaginations, and lead them with hope. The miraculous phenomena in fairy tales, created by the imagination, are ordinary life forms that people dreamed of. There is a certain motif that underlay the events from people’s imagination. These motifs are constantly repeated and become the basis for the emergence of new works. This article considers the special birth of the main character as one of the constant motifs of fairy tales. The symbolic meaning of the motifs as “Miracle of birth”, “Rapid growth”, “Miracle helpers” in heroic tales are analyzed. It is emphasized that these motifs are the main driving force of the storyline in heroic tales. The permanent picture of mythical knowledge, mythical motifs and images in the structure of heroic fairy tales and the relationship of motifs are considered. As a result of the analysis of storylines and mythical motifs in heroic tales, preserved in the memory of mankind since ancient times, some important conclusions have been drawn.

Abstract:
The articles researches the concept of political culture as a system of inherited political notions expressed in symbolic forms and generalizes the differences between the political culture of Ukrainians and Russians. It stresses that the cultural identity of Ukraine is established on one of its basic tendencies – penchant for archaization of all symbolic forms; it researches the place of the heroic political myth in this process; it analyzes sacral projections of the political in the myth through which the subject-and-object order of the Ukrainian politics world is explained. Thus, the pattern of the heroic monomyth (a structured ontological range of symbols) serves as a program of political reality (as a structured order of political objects). The symbols of the heroic monomyth have sacral significance because they present an idea of political order, stability, forecastability of politics (the latter is lacking in the crisis context of development) when there is unwillingness of a part of citizens to bear responsibility for prospects of future development of events in the country in the conditions of long-term uncertainty. The article researches peculiarities of the how the structure-image of the hero builds the constitution of political reality in Ukraine and Russia.

Abstract:
This creative practice-led research examines how Vladimir Propp’s formalist structural analysis of Russian fairy tales may be applied to the writing of revisionist cinematic adaptations where the traditional literary villain is transformed into an anti-hero. This was achieved by mapping Propp’s 31 narrative elements to Syd Field’s three-act structural paradigm which resulted in the formulation of a new screenwriting schema that may be used as an alternative to the more established The Hero’s Journey model.

Abstract:
Criticism of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series has maintained that its popularity stems from a well-marketed, repetitive and simple structure. However, this essay considers that this success derives from recognizable mythological heroic structures. The essay traces the protagonist’s development from the perspective of two different theories that contrast and complement each other in various ways, Otto Rank’s theory of the myth of the birth of the hero and Joseph Campbell’s theory of the monomyth. Campbell and Rank both hypothesize that hero myths are repetitive because they emerge from the subconscious of human kind. It can be seen in the tracing of the heroic development in Harry Potter that— although various aspects and features in the hero’s journey are followed in the narrative — the series does not strictly fit these theories. The result is a combination of different features from both theories, which modernizes the heroic myth that has pervaded human culture and history since time immemorial.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examined the operational structure of Southeast Asian drug trafficking groups operating on the eastern seaboard of Australia by testing the validity and application of organised crime and drug trafficking typologies using data obtained from 159 drug trafficking cases in three Australian states: New South Wales; Queensland; and Victoria. Key findings indicated that the usefulness of typologies is limited when classifying and analysing organised crime groups. In particular, Southeast Asian drug trafficking groups operated largely in small, informal, family-based hierarchies or groups that were better conceptualised using theoretical perspectives from network and cultural studies. The study recommended that replicating previous empirical research in the field is an effective approach that will contribute towards building a cumulative body of knowledge on organised crime structures.

Abstract:
Most models of the impacts of climate change on the distributions of animals have focused on limits to thermal tolerances of individual species. Such "bioclimatic envelope" models do not consider the importance of interactions among species, each of which may respond to climate change in its own way. Hermit crabs (Paguridae) cannot exist without shells produced by gastropods. Thus, their ranges are expected to depend not only on their own physiological tolerances, but also on tolerances of gastropod species that produce shells of suitable sizes for growing crabs that use successively larger shells. To assess their potential importance to range shifts of hermit crabs, I characterized these commensal relationships over a large area of the northern Bering Sea in May to early June. Of 1539 hermit crabs collected, Pagurus rathbuni comprised 55%, P. trigonocheirus 44%, and Labidochirus splendescens 1%, with only four individuals of three other Pagurus species. Species richness for all living gastropods in my study area was 26 species, of which 18 were used by hermit crabs. P. rathbuni used shells of mostly moon snails (Naticidae); only 7 to 19% used whelk shells (Buccinidae) in the first four size classes, and 34% in the largest size class. P. trigonocheirus also used shells of mainly moon snails, but its use of whelk shells ranged from 18 to 44% in the first four size classes, and 70% in the largest size class. Densities of P. rathbuni and P. trigonocheirus varied independently of each other (r2 = 0.08, p = 0.09, N = 36 stations). Other studies suggest that hermit crabs obtain most of their shells from gastropods that have recently died, and that such empty shells are available for a relatively short period before being buried in sediments; thus, available shells should resemble the local pool among living gastropods. Correlation of P. rathbuni densities with densities of living gastropods with suitable shells was weak (r2 = 0.18, p < 0.01, N = 36 stations), while there was no correlation for P. trigonocheirus (r2 < 0.01, p = 0.59). Density patterns of hermit crabs within the five size classes did not correspond to those of living gastropods with suitable shells (randomization tests of independence, all p < 0.002). These results suggest that in the northern Bering Sea, initial effects of climate change on hermit crab distributions will depend more strongly on factors other than concurrent effects on dispersion of gastropods.

Full text
Abstract:
This essay investigates the applicability of Joseph Campbell’s notion of the Hero’s Journey from his theoretical work The Hero with a Thousand Faces on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, or, There and Back Again. This has been done by outlining the essential aspects of Campbell’s theory and then performing a reading and analysis of Tolkien’s work. Furthermore, this essay focuses on the narrative structure proposed by Campbell, but also the heroic character’s development—in this instance, Bilbo Baggins’ development. As such, a brief examination of Campbell’s attitude and use of Freudian psychoanalysis has been performed as well as a presentation of Bilbo Baggins’ character and dual nature before the adventure. As a possible line of argument Tolkien’s knowledge of myth is also briefly expounded on. This essay does not research or make any definitive statements on the universal applicability of Campbell’s theory, but merely finds that Tolkien’s The Hobbit, or, There and Back Again appears to conform well to Campbell’s proposed narrative structure and that the development of Bilbo’s heroic character, or his character arc, is in concurrence with this as well.

Hinchcliffe, Richard. "Empty heroics, low comedy and pointless death : structures of melancholy in the early novels of Kurt Vonnegut." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 2000. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/20770/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores structures of melancholy in five of Kurt Vonnegut's early novels, Player Piano, The Sirens of Titan, Mother Night, Slaughterhouse-Five and Breakfast of Champions. The thesis attempts to give new readings to each of the novels by drawing on critical approaches to melancholy and by viewing each text as being subject to contemporary cultural influences. In particular, the thesis maps how each of the novels comments on human progress through a combination of historical, scientific, cultural, social and political paradigms. In the chapters on The Sirens of Titan and Mother Night the protagonist is seen as suffering from a number of melancholic complaints that are closely related to schizophrenia, while the narratives as a whole exploit this splintering of the self to suggest a variety of allegorical readings. The chapters on Player Piano, Slaughterhouse-Five and Breakfast of Champions discuss how the Puritan foundations of American culture play a major part in the construction of the self through the establishment of the Protestant work ethic. These chapters also attempt to expose how many of the ideological concepts that adhere to work, progress and capitalism have melancholic consequences for all involved. Throughout the thesis the relationship between reality and representation, language and authority is seen as being crucial to understanding the depth of Vonnegut's early novels and the way in which each novel deconstructs established values and subverts readers' expectations. Occasionally, the thesis discusses the novels' poststructural concerns as appearing to precipitate melancholy within both readers and characters. However, the thesis also explores how melancholy has been seen historically to galvanise the soul and build up, from the depths of depression, a renewal of spirit. Overall, the thesis shows how melancholy is a constituent part of Vonnegut's novels, connecting his work to the tradition in American melancholic writing created by the founders of the nation. This thesis traces the persistence of this melancholic note within selected Vonnegut novels and its connections with other themes identified within his work.

Abstract:
Heroin addiction is inclined to arouse fear, rejection and discriminatory behavior among the general public. Evidence shows that the public perceives heroin as harmful and addictive. Heroin is ranked as the most stigmatized condition. While there is robust literature on mental illness stigma, there is limited research concerning addiction-related stigma. There are very few standardized stigma measures related to perceptions toward persons addicted to heroin. The overall aim of the dissertation was to validate an attribution measurement model toward persons addicted to heroin and to determine its psychometric properties. The dissertation’s study employed an adapted 7-factor measurement model (Corrigan et al., 2002) to examine stigmatizing perceptions towards persons addicted to heroin. This is the first study to systematically evaluate model fit by implementing Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM). A total of 657 Sociology students were analyzed over four stages: questionnaire review by expert panel, pilot-test, validation and replication. The study tested multiple incremental models and successfully determined that the results met multiple goodness-of-fit indices. Through ESEM, Sociology-Social Control students supported the hypothesis that the adapted 7-factor attribution measurement model would fit data. The model included: Personal Responsibility, Pity, Anger, Helping Behavior, Dangerousness, Fear and Social Distance factors. Adequate power and sample size was demonstrated to support acceptance of the null hypothesis. In addition to conducting Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), ESEM tested the psychometric properties of the attribution measurement model. Implementing maximum likelihood extraction with oblique geomin rotation using Mplus software, the Sociology-Social Control students’ validation and replication datasets showed an excellent model fit to the data. Results confirmed support for the superiority of the ESEM solution. The ESEM attribution measurement model fit better than the CFA model. Compared to the ESEM model, elevated factor correlations found in the CFA model were caused by the exclusion of meaningful cross-loadings. Strong psychometric properties for the ESEM attribution model were evidenced, with good internal consistency and excellent test-retest reliability. The factor structure was replicable across the two groups of Sociology-Social Control students. Adequate ESEM incremental and convergent validity was supported by the simultaneous examination of the Social Distance scale and the Personal Consequences of Criminal Stigma measures with the measurement model. In the replication sample, familiarity demonstrated less stigmatizing perceptions than the SOC313 Course. Our findings highlight marked differences between the Sociology-Social Control students and the general population’s perceptions of heroin addicts. The Sociology-Social Control students are not afraid of persons addicted to heroin, nor do they hold them responsible for their condition. To conclude, the study provides newly validated measures with adequate reliability to allow investigators to assess other students’ level of addiction stigma. It is anticipated that the dissertation’s study will lead to further comparative psychometric testing with healthcare students that are directly involved with the care and treatment of persons addicted to heroin to provide a better understanding of the factorial structure of the attribution measurement model. Longitudinal data is also needed to examine our model and how levels of perceptions change over time.

Abstract:
The observations discussed in this thesis are of regions of star-formation where outflow is believed to be occurring. Specifically, radio, millimeter/sub-millimeter and infrared observations are made to illustrate the molecular structure of outflows and related phenomena. CO J = 2-1 observations of the molecular outflow from the infrared reflection nebulae GGD27 IRS complement earlier CO J&61 1-0 observations and further allow us to revise previous estimates of the outflow mass and energetics. The mass derived here is comparable to mass estimates for other outflows from similarly luminous sources, though it is a factor of ~10 less than that derived from the earlier CO 1-0 observations. This difference is due to the choice of excitation temperature used in deriving the outflow mass; here combining CO 2-1 observations with the 1-0 studies allows us to calculate T_ex more precisely. I also show that the conical outflow overlaps the plain of the sky, and find that the observed molecular flow is not powerful enough to excite the associated HH nebulae HH80/81. Studies of the molecular environment around the HH objects HH1 and 2, and towards the optical jet/HH bow-shock system HH34 reveal the presence of dense, quiescent molecular material associated with all three HH objects. The presence of such stationary, molecular clumps, particularly evident in HH2 and HH34, does not support current popular HH models. Observations of these regions in a number of molecular species also show how contrasting and sometimes misleading observations in different molecular gas tracers can be: In HH2 peaks seen in NH_3 (,1) do not coincide with the well resolved clump observed in HCO^+ J = 3-2, whilst the C^18O J = 2-1 emission shows no clear peak at all. These contrasting morphologies are thought to be due to the differing excitation requirements of the observed lines. However, in HH34 chemical abundance variations are also significant: Towards the exciting source of the optical stellar jet and HH bow-shock, the NH_3 is underabundant. Indeed, in many other outflow sources, a similar NH_3 depletion is observed towards the central source. Instead, the NH_3 delineates a toroidal structure that encircles the central gas-density peak and the outflow source.

Abstract:
AbstractLaparoscopic groin hernia repair (inguinal; femoral and obturator hernia), including transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair, have become one of the gold standard treatment for elective groin hernia repair. After its introduction in the 1990, with deeper understanding of preperitoneal anatomy, more structural training for surgeons around the world, regular meeting with exchange of experience and results in clinical studies these have all improved our skills and understanding of both the surgery and disease itself. This has resulted in many expert hernia centers around the world starting to broaden the application of laparoscopic approach, not only to elective hernia repair, but also for emergency strangulated groin hernias as well. In this chapter, we will discuss few important issues when employing laparoscopic approach for the management of emergency strangulated groin hernias.

Full text
Abstract:
Large scale floating structures, such as floating airport and amusement park having two dimensional expanse in horizontal direction, which structural concept can be considered as plate-type structural system. This structural system has a great deal of potential to be applied to oceanic structures like a artificial ground. This practical fabrication will be done by a combination of units. The hydroelastic interaction problem and structural design have attracted the attention of researchers and structural engineers. This paper presents consideration and conclusion through the numerical calculation results of the natural frequency studied under the various supporting conditions by developed computer program. The theoretical development is obtained by a way of combination of finite element method (FEM) and boundary integral equation method (BIEM). As to natural frequency analysis of oceanic structures based on the fluid-structure interaction, in general, there is an assumption to make it possible by estimating properly the added mass of the structure surrounding by water. The added mass of floating plate obtained by BIEM is modified and transformed into mass matrix of plate in FEM analysis. Herein, FEM analysis is based on the bending vibration assumption.

Full text
Abstract:
An explicit method is presented herein whose coefficients are determined from the initial structural properties of the analyzed system. Thus, it is structure-dependent. This method has a great stability property when compared to the previously published method [6], which is unconditionally stable for linear elastic and any instantaneous stiffness softening systems while it only has conditional stability for an instantaneous stiffness hardening system. The most important improvement of this method is that it has unconditional stability for general instantaneous stiffness hardening systems in addition to linear elastic and instantaneous stiffness softening systems. This implies that a time step may be selected base on accuracy consideration only and the stability problem might be neglected. Hence, many computational efforts can be saved in the step-by-step solution of a general structural dynamic problem, where the response is dominated by the low frequency modes and the high frequency responses are of no great interest, when compared to an explicit method, such as the Newmark explicit method, and an implicit method, such as the constant average acceleration method.

Abstract:
The aim of the study reported herein was to investigate the effects of low temperatures on the crashworthiness of steel-plated structures. A series of material tensile tests were performed to examine the material behaviors at low temperatures. Then, unstiffened steel-plated structure and stiffened steel-plated structure were collided with a cone-shaped drop object to estimate the crashworthiness of steel-plated structures. The material tensile test specimens and test structures were made of Polar class steel for ships and offshore structures which is a sufficient condition of the IACS requirements concerning Polar Class and Strength of Ships. The tests considered room and low temperatures relevant to an Arctic environment and a cryogenic condition. LS-DYNA nonlinear finite element simulations applying a practical approach of modeling techniques were performed to investigate the structural crashworthiness of the steel-plated structures numerically with results of material tensile tests.

Full text
Abstract:
Nonlinear wave loading leads to non-Gaussian offshore structural response so that higher-order statistical moments, such as kurtosis, are often necessary for its probabilistic description. The existing models for determination of these moments are computationally very demanding. Consequently, the distributed wave loading on the structure is idealised by a relatively small number of nodal loads, requiring care and experience in the representation of the continuous loading on (complex) structures with many structural elements. These shortcomings are successfully overcome by an approximate approach, as described herein, offering a dramatic reduction in computational effort so that the distributed loading can be idealised more realistically by a large number of nodal loads. The effectiveness of the proposed procedures, which have arisen from a UK EPSRC-sponsored project, are demonstrated by applying them to a test structure under different environmental conditions. With these improved tools, designers can now consider incorporation of more robust and precise probabilistic analysis into their evaluation procedures for structural behaviour, without facing onerous computational effort.

Abstract:
Structural health monitoring (SHM) based on vibration measurements in large/complex structures were shown to be promising by researchers. The authors believe that the SHM problem is fundamentally one of statistical pattern recognition. Therefore, the damage detection studies reviewed herein are summarized in the context of a statistical pattern recognition paradigm[1]. This paradigm can be described as a three-part process: (1) Data acquisition and cleansing, (2) Modal parameter identification, (3) Damage identification methods. However, offshore platform structures are very complex, and not easy to excite artificially and they are often suffered from ambient loads that cannot be controlled easily. The thesis focuses on three key issues for structural health monitoring via vibration in real offshore platform structures[2]. In the first part of review, the offshore platform structure health monitoring system basic principle and the composition are discussed. In the second portion, three important processes of structure health monitoring are summarized (Data acquisition and cleansing, modal parameter identification, damage identification methods), and each method good and bad points is pointed out. Next, Application of damage identification and structural health monitoring to offshore platform are in detail produced, the methods are described in general terms including difficulties associated with their implementation. Finally, current and future-planned applications of this technology to offshore platform are summarized. The paper concludes with a discussion of critical issues for future research on damage identification and structural health monitoring for offshore platform.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Certain types of Salvinia water ferns present a highly water-repellent upper surface along their floating leaves. This is accomplished through the use of structured trichomes, which create hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces. Particularly, there are four different types of trichomes found in Salvinia plants that present these characteristics. They are known as Cucullata type, Oblongifolia type, Natans type and Molesta type. However, these structures are characterized by very small sizes, along with complex shapes. With the advantages of high-efficiency, low-cost, fast-fabrication, and ability of producing microstructures, additive manufacturing (AM), known as 3D printing method, has brought lots of attentions to various academic fields. Herein, we apply a 3D printing method to create biomimetic structures designed after the trichomes on Salvinia. In this work, the hydrophobic properties of the four biomimetic structures were tested through the use of optical contact angle measurements after initial modeling through the CAD program Solidworks. Finally, an Optical Contact Angle measurement device was used to determine the hydrophobic properties of each structure. This study concludes that each of the four biomimetic structures based on the different types of trichomes of Salvinia have hydrophobic performance. In particular, the Natans type and Molesta type show superhydrophobic properties, with the Molesta inspired structure displaying the highest contact angle among the four types. These results suggest that future research into the trichome structures of Salvinia water ferns could produce biomimetic structures with enhanced hydrophobic properties and applications.

Full text
Abstract:
The Safety-Related structures of the U.S. EPR™ Standard Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) predominantly consist of reinforced concrete shear walls and slabs; thus they are typically modeled using shell finite elements and analyzed and designed for a large number of applicable load combinations. This paper presents a load combination reduction methodology that has been specifically developed for and applied to these types of structural elements in order to methodically reduce the full set of applicable load combinations to a manageable sub-set of load combinations, termed “controlling load combinations” for structural design purposes. Load combination reduction criteria involve code-specified section capacities (i.e., allowables), structural demands (i.e., forces and moments), and demand-to-capacity ratios (DCR) as complemented by reinforcing ratios. For a particular Safety-Related structure or portions thereof, the controlling load combination produces the most demanding forces and moments relative to design allowables in accordance with applicable codes and standards for reinforced concrete design, resulting in the highest DCR among all applicable load combinations. To facilitate the load combination reduction process, portions or segments of a particular Safety-Related structure that are in close proximity and thereby most likely to be designed for a common reinforcement pattern are identified and grouped as a single design component and termed an “evaluation level component.” It is demonstrated that the load combination reduction methodology developed herein is instrumental in narrowing down numerous applicable load combinations to a sub-set of controlling load combinations for the U.S. EPR™ Nuclear Island Safety-Related structures.

Abstract:
Herein we discuss the folding of highly compliant origami structures — “Soft Origami.” There are benefits to be had in folding compliant sheets (which cannot self-guide their motion) rather than conventional rigid origami. Example applications include scaffolds for artificial tissue generation and foldable substrates for flexible electronic assemblies. Highly compliant origami has not been contemplated by existing theory, which treats origami structures largely as rigid or semi-rigid mechanisms with compliant hinges — “Mechanism-Reliant Origami.” We present a quantitative metric — the Origami Compliance Metric — that aids in identifying proper modeling of a homogeneous origami structure based upon the compliance regime it falls into (Soft, Hybrid, or Mechanism-Reliant). We discuss the unique properties, applications, and design drivers for practical implementation of Soft Origami. We detail a theory of proper constraint by which an ideal soft structure’s number of degrees of freedom may be approximated as 3n, where n is the number of vertices of the fold pattern. Finally, we introduce a concept for a scalable process in which a few actuators and stretching membranes may be used to simultaneously fold many origami sub-structures that share common degrees of freedom.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of the research is to outline the structure of the main methodological ideas within the frames of interpretive thinking in the essay of the famous Vistnyk’s writer, critic and essayist Yevhen Malaniuk. Considering the purpose and tasks of the studio, an interdisciplinary methodological base, related to the author’s “national approach”, has been worked out. The epistemological potential of national philosophy as a philosophy of national existence, national science as a theory of nation, hermeneutics as a theory and practice of interpretation and post-colonialism as interpretation of cultural phenomena from the standpoint of anti- and post-imperial consciousness are used in the work. The scientific novelty is that on the basis of the previous hermeneutic generalization and definition of national-existential methodology, a propaedeutic outlining of the structure of national-philosophical concepts within the frames of the essayistic interpretation of reality in Ye. Malaniuk is proposed. In the methodological sense, the writer’s essayism is structured by such concepts as nation-centrism, idealism, voluntarism, heroism, and can be considered as one of the variants (close by the experiences of D. Dontsov, Yu. Lypa, M. Mukhyn, etc.) of the Vistnyk’s national-philosophical (national-existential, nationalistic or nation-centric) hermeneutics, that is, the way of understanding, which the author by himself outlined as a “national approach”. The support of Ye. Malaniuk as a culture-philosopher and exegete on the eternal nation-centric values and criteria in his essayistic studies makes his reflections not only historically interesting, but also theoretically productive, classically important for the development of modern Ukrainian hermeneutics and humanities in general.

Full text
Abstract:
The Old River Control Complex (ORCC) consists of the Low Sill, Auxiliary, and Overbank structures as features of the Old River Control Structure (ORCS) and the privately owned hydro-electric power plant. Operations of the ORCC manage the hydrologic connectivity between the Mississippi River and the Atchafalaya River/Red River systems. The morphology of the Old, the Mississippi, the Atchafalaya, and the Red Rivers (OMAR) has been influenced by the flow distribution at the ORCC, as well as the accompanying bed sediments. A geomorphic assessment of the OMAR is underway to understand the morphological changes associated with operation of the ORCC. Supporting the geomorphic assessment, a channel geometry analysis herein documents observed adjustments of the affected river channels. Historical hydrographic survey data were used in the Geographic Information System to create river channel geometric models, which inform the analysis. Geometric parameters for cross sections and volume polygons were computed for each survey and evaluated for morphological trends which may be ascribed to the influence of the ORCC. Additionally, the geometric parameters for the Atchafalaya River were used to extend the geometry analyses from the 1951 Mississippi River Commission report on the Atchafalaya River, which was the primary catalyst for the initial development of the ORCS.

Full text
Abstract:
Environmental conditions are considered an important factor influencing asphalt pavement performance. The addition of modifiers, both to the asphalt binder and the asphalt mixture, has attracted considerable attention in potentially alleviating environmentally induced pavement performance issues. Although many solutions have been developed, and some deployed, many asphalt pavements continue to prematurely fail due to environmental loading. The research reported herein investigates the synthetization and characterization of biobased Phase Change Materials (PCMs) and inclusion of Microencapsulated PCM (μPCM) in asphalt binders and mixtures to help reduce environmental damage to asphalt pavements. In general, PCM substances are formulated to absorb and release thermal energy as the material liquify and solidify, depending on pavement temperature. As a result, PCMs can provide asphalt pavements with thermal energy storage capacities to reduce the impacts of drastic ambient temperature scenarios and minimize the appearance of critical temperatures within the pavement structure. By modifying asphalt pavement materials with PCMs, it may be possible to "tune" the pavement to the environment.

Full text
Abstract:
This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes the continuing efforts towards incorporating rapid tidal time-series reconstruction and prediction capabilities into the Coastal Hazards System (CHS) and the Stochastic Storm Simulation System (StormSim). The CHS (Nadal-Caraballo et al. 2020) is a national effort for the quantification of coastal storm hazards, including a database and web tool (https://chs.erdc.dren.mil) for the deployment of results from the Probabilistic Coastal Hazard Analysis (PCHA) framework. These PCHA products are developed from regional studies such as the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS) (Nadal-Caraballo et al. 2015; Cialone et al. 2015) and the ongoing South Atlantic Coast Study (SACS). The PCHA framework considers hazards due to both tropical and extratropical cyclones, depending on the storm climatology of the region of interest. The CHS supports feasibility studies, probabilistic design of coastal structures, and flood risk management for coastal communities and critical infrastructure. StormSim (https://stormsim.erdc.dren.mil) is a suite of tools used for statistical analysis and probabilistic modeling of historical and synthetic storms and for stochastic design and other engineering applications. One of these tools, the Coastal Hazards Rapid Prediction System (CHRPS) (Torres et al. 2020), can perform rapid prediction of coastal storm hazards, including real-time hurricane-induced flooding. This CHETN discusses the quantification and validation of the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) tidal constituent database (Szpilka et al. 2016) and the tidal reconstruction program Unified Tidal analysis (UTide) (Codiga 2011) in the Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands (PR/USVI) coastal regions. The new methodology discussed herein will be further developed into the Rapid Tidal Reconstruction (RTR) tool within the StormSim and CHS frameworks.

Finally, data sharing raises complex legal, regulatory, operational, and technical questions, and none of the information contained herein should be substituted for legal advice. The toolkit is organized into three sections: “Preparing to Share Data,” “Governance,” and “Procedures for Reviewing and Responding to Data Requests.” The section on “Preparing to Share Data” discusses the role of appropriate legal rights to further share the data and the need to follow all applicable ethical regulations. Registries should also prepare for data sharing activities by ensuring data are maintained appropriately and developing policies and procedures for governance and data sharing. The “Governance” section describes the role of governance in data sharing and outlines key governance tasks, including defining and staffing relevant oversight bodies; developing a data request process; reviewing data requests; and overseeing access to data by the requesting party.

THE CONTINUOUS STRENGTH METHOD – REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/icass2020.p.k11.

Full text
Abstract:
The Continuous Strength Method (CSM) is a deformation-based approach to the design of structures that enables a continuous, rational and accurate allowance for material nonlinearity. Central to the method is the application of strain limits to define the resistance of a structural member or system.The method can be applied to structures formed using different materials and manufacturing processes and can be used for steel-concrete composite design and in fire scenarios. The design method enables enhancements in structural efficiency and, unlike traditional approaches, allows the assessment of both strength and ductility demands (particularly relevant for high strength steel) at the ultimate limit state. For hand calculations, a set of straightforward CSM design equations have been developed. Recognising the increasing importance and use of advanced analysis, recent research, summarised herein, has focused on integration of the CSM strain limits into a framework of design by second order inelastic analysis, where the benefits of the method become even more substantial. This paper provides a review of the background and recent developments, including incorporation into design standards.

Abstract:
PCI Standard Design Practice Ref ACI-318-08 Precast and prestressed concrete structures have provided decades of satisfactory performance. This performance is the result of the practices reported herein, conformance with ACI 318-08 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary, incorporation of industry specific research programs and a plant certification program that provides an industrywide quality control system beyond that found in on-site construction. Section 1.4 of the ACI 318-08 specifically allows variances when the adequacy of which has been shown by successful use or by analysis or test. Suggested changes to code provisions resulting from experience, analysis or testing can provide a point for discussion with building officials for acceptance of revised provisions within the guidance and scope of Section 1.4 of ACI 318-08.
