A Simplified Method for Analysis of Geosynthetic Reinforcement Used in Pile Supported Embankments by Kang Fei

“…Based on the numerical results, a new 3D deflected shape of the geosynthetic reinforcement was suggested, and then the corresponding governing equation was derived and solved based on the membrane theory. To investigate the validity of the proposed method, the predicted maximum deflection, deflection shape, and the developed tensile force of the geosynthetics have been compared with the experimental data collected from the literatures and finite element analysis results.…”

Measuring Intergenerational Justice by Laurence J. Kotlikoff

“…It also points out that government debt -- the conventional metric for assessing generational fiscal justice,– has no grounding in economic theory. Instead, official debt is the result of economically arbitrary government labelling decisions: whether to call receipts “taxes” rather than “borrowing” and whether to call payments “transfer payments” rather than “debt service”. …”

TRAJECTORIES OF MUTUAL ZOMBIFICATION IN THE PRAXIS OF POST-COLONIAL FAITH IN SOUTH AFRICA: by B. Dube

“…Observing the praxis of faith in post-colonial states among the “new” religious movements, I argue that there is a need for theologians to rethink theology in the context of religious mafiarisation, extortion, abuse, constitutional delinquency, political oppression and coloniality of God. I use decoloniality theory to articulate and suggest the need for ADT. …”

STUDI KRITIS ATAS TEORI TARJAMAH ALQUR’AN DALAM ‘ULUM ALQUR’AN by Fadhli Lukman

“…The basic argument built is that the theory of tarjamah Alqur’an within ‘Ulum Alqur’an has several theoretical problems: first, the categorization of harfiyyah and tafsiriyyah are not clearly operative; second, the terminology of tarjamah is implied to be meaningless; and third, there is no clear-cut concept of tarjamah dan tafsir. …”

Hierarchical band gaps in complex periodic systems by Dunckley, Lucas, Davies, Bryn

“…This result shows that if a frequency falls in a band gap for every constituent element then it must be in a band gap for the combined complex periodic structure. This theory and its instantaneous utility is demonstrated in a series of vibro-acoustic and mechanical examples.…”
