Non-linear analysis of plane steel prestressed truss in fire
2002
The concept of analysis of 2-D static loaded prestressed steel trusses till failure during fire using a modified method of forces is presented. Failure of steel trusses in fire is based on the criterion of stresses. Behaviour of steel is described by non-linear constitutive model (based on hypo-elastic Ramberg-Osgood formula and Dorn creep theory) and Plem proposition (for string). Both models are approximated in calculations by hyperbolic Norton-Bailey rule. Fire simulates thermal force as an action of high temperature that increases linearly up to some level. The complete formulation of this method is illustrated by the algorithm of model parameters identification. Analysis of results for…
A Multi-Objective Design Approach for the c Chart Considering Taguchi Loss Function
2014
The present paper proposes a multi-objective design approach for the c chart, considering in the optimization process of the chart parameters both the statistical and the economic objectives. In particular, the minimization of the hourly total quality related costs is the considered objective to carry out the economic goal, whereas the statistical objective is reached by the minimization the out-of-control average run length of the chart. A mixed integer non-linear constrained mathematical model is formulated to solve the treated multi-objective optimization problem, whereas the Pareto optimal frontier is described by the «-constraint method. In order to show the employment of the proposed …
Problem Talk in Management Group Meetings
2019
This naturalistic study focuses on problem talk (PT) in hospital management group meetings. The study aims to understand how PT constitutes the hospital organization through the different uses of PT within the meetings, and, therefore, to understand the organizing role of these meetings. The communication as constitutive of organization (CCO) perspective forms the theoretical background of the research. The results of the qualitative analysis show that PT comprises many intertwined tasks that aim to perform the meetings, enhance problem solving, and maintain the relational level of group life. Thus, PT is much more than merely solving problems. In PT, problems are discussed from the viewpo…
Solutions with sign information for nonlinear Robin problems with no growth restriction on reaction
2019
We consider a parametric nonlinear Robin problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator. The reaction is a Carathéodory function which is only locally defined (that is, the hypotheses concern only its behaviour near zero). The conditions on the reaction are minimal. Using variational tools together with truncation, perturbation and comparison techniques and critical groups, we show that for all small values of the parameter λ > 0, the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions, two of constant sign and the third nodal.
Bloque de constitucionalidad en el Perú: el momento para su redefinición
2020
El bloque de constitucionalidad corresponde al conjunto de normas y principios que, sin formar parte del texto constitucional, comparten su misma jerarquía y obran como criterios para enjuiciar la constitucionalidad de las leyes. La noción es de origen francés y, conforme ha sido creada, es solo para los franceses. Su desarrollo ha logrado resultados favorables en su país. Sin embargo, luego fue adaptada en España, con una realidad diferente resultando una noción multiforme y confusa. Posteriormente fue trasladad a países latinoamericanos adquiriendo en su arraigo características propias; pero su aplicación en el Perú ha tenido resultados similares al caso español. El estudio pretende, desd…

2021
The chapter traces the roots and evolution of constructivism, the defining features and the value added to IR theory. It also presents some contributions by constructivst scholars and identifies challenges.
Speciation of organotin compounds in NaCl aqueous solution. Interaction of mono-, di- and triorganotin(IV) cations with nucleotides 5’ monophosphates
2004
Formation constants for complex species of mono-, di- and tri-alkyltin(IV) cations with somenucleotide 5-monophosphates (AMP, UMP, IMP and GMP) are reported, atT=25◦CandatI=0.16 mol l−1(NaCl). The investigation was performed in the light of speciation of organometalliccompounds in natural fluids in the presence of nucleotides whose biological importance is wellrecognized. The simple and mixed hydrolytic complex species formed in all the systems investigatedin the pH range 3–9 are (L=nucleotide; M=organotin cation RxSn(4−x)+, withx=1to3):ML+,ML(OH)0and ML(OH)2−for the system CH3Sn3+–L (L=AMP, IMP, UMP); ML0and ML(OH)−for the system (C2H5)2Sn2+–L (L=AMP, IMP, UMP); ML−, ML(OH)2−,MLH0and M2L(O…
Numerical construction of the density-potential mapping
2018
We demonstrate how a recently developed method Nielsen et al. [Nielsen et al., EPL 101, 33001 (2013)] allows for a comprehensive investigation of time-dependent density functionals in general, and of the exact time-dependent exchange-correlation potential in particular, by presenting the first exact results for two- and three-dimensional multi-electron systems. This method is an explicit realization of the Runge–Gross correspondence, which maps time-dependent densities to their respective potentials, and allows for the exact construction of desired density functionals. We present in detail the numerical requirements that makes this method efficient, stable and precise even for large and rap…
Actividad Física y entorno construido en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes
2015
Objectives. This study aims to analyse physical activity (PA) levels of high school and university students; to estimate their perception of built environment with regard to physical PA; and to assess the relation between PA and built environment. Methods. A sociological cross-sectional study with non-experimental design was applied. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Built Environment Characteristics Questionnaire were filled in by a sample of 1.862 students from high schools and the university in Granada, Spain. Results. High school students were significantly more active than university students, the latter reaching insufficient levels of PA. Nevertheless, they con…
Real-Time Processes of Career Goal Construction : A Study Case Approach with Implications for the Development of Adolescents’ Identity
2022
The study aimed at investigating how different young people going through the post-high school transition set, monitor, pursue, and renegotiate career goals in real-time and in everyday life circumstances. A theoretically driven proposition supported the conceptualization of career goals as complex dynamic systems and guided the examination and description of the moment-to-moment processes shaping the (re)construction of career goals. The study adopted an exploratory research approach and was based on a longitudinal case study design. Diary reports were collected for 39 weeks. Participants were four young people (three females, one male) who at the onset of the study were 18 years of age an…
