Study on mechanical properties of sandstone damaged by blasting load under triaxial cyclic loading and unloading by Haibo Wang, Genshuo Zhu, Ziyi Lu, Qi Zong, Hao Wang

“…The peak stress, cohesion and internal friction angle characteristics of the undamaged specimens under triaxial cyclic loading and unloading and conventional triaxial loading were greater than those of the vibration-damaged specimens. In addition, the corresponding parameters of the vibration-damaged specimens were greater than those of the blast-damaged specimens; thus, the damage induced by the blast load reduced the ability of the rock body to resist external loads. (2) The peak stresses of the specimens with different degrees of damage increased linearly with increasing confining pressure, and the presence of confining pressure restricted the deformation of the rock body and enhanced the ability of the specimens to resist external loads. (3) Under cyclic loading and unloading, the first cycle generated the largest residual stress variable. …”

Stigmatization of people with mental illness – a matter of milieu-specific worldviews? Results from a population-based survey in Germany by Jenny Spahlholz, Eva Baumann, Sven Speerforck, Sven Speerforck, Christian Sander, Christian Sander, Matthias C. Angermeyer, Georg Schomerus, Georg Schomerus

“…However, the extent of differentiation between the milieu groups was less pronounced regarding the desire for social distance towards people with schizophrenia than towards people with depression.ConclusionOur findings suggest that socio-cultural and socioeconomic dimensions of the society can be used for both describing heterogeneous societies and illuminating the underlying social structure of stigma. In addition to making blind spots more visible (i.e., schizophrenia), milieu-specific knowledge could be useful in deciding which intervention components are most appropriate for which milieu groups and how to apply them successfully.…”
