La mécanique de l’endommagement au secours de la mécanique de la rupture : l’évolution de cette idée en un demi-siècle by Marigo, Jean-Jacques

“…In particular, the emphasis is on the creation and development of damage mechanics with its primary ambition to remedy the shortcomings of Griffith’s fracture theory. We underline the successes of this enterprise and the advances it has allowed by insisting on the key role played by the variational approach, but we also show its limits.…”

Moral Competence as a Positive Youth Development Construct: A Conceptual Review by Hing Keung Ma

“…Moral competence refers to the affective orientation to perform altruistic behaviors and the ability to judge moral issues logically. A five-stage theory of moral development is proposed. Both western and Chinese perspectives are incorporated in the elaboration of the characteristics of each stage. …”

Sensitivities in Models with Backward Dynamics by Yonghong Chen, Xunxiang Guo

“…We mainly introduce the concept of P-sensitivity and P-Li-Yorke sensitivity especially for the multivalued forward dynamics of such models and characterize P-sensitivity and P-Li-Yorke sensitivity of the multivalued forward dynamics in terms of sensitivity and Li-Yorke sensitivity of an induced single-valued dynamics by using the theory of inverse limits. Similarly, we also characterize the sensitivity and Li-Yorke sensitivity of the single-valued backward dynamics of such models in terms of the corresponding sensitivities of an induced single-valued dynamics.…”

Connection Formulae between Ellipsoidal and Spherical Harmonics with Applications to Fluid Dynamics and Electromagnetic Scattering by Michael Doschoris, Panayiotis Vafeas

“…The environment of the ellipsoidal system, significantly more complex than the spherical one, provides the necessary settings for tackling boundary value problems in anisotropic space. However, the theory of Lamé functions and ellipsoidal harmonics affiliated with the ellipsoidal system is rather complicated. …”

S’ajuster entre professionnels et usagers dans les métiers de service adressés à autrui : la place d’une fonction pédagogique by Thierry Piot

“…Habermas’s communicative acting (1997), and on the other, J. Tronto’s caring theory (2009). These professionals work with vulnerable populations, and caring for them requires the co-construction of a relationship of trust, opening the way to a collaboration that is constantly subject to multi-register adjustments. …”
