On Geometric Phase Model in the Theory of Curves With Myller Configuration
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a linearly polarized light wave in an optical fiber and rotation of the polarization plane through the Frenet‐type frame with Myller configuration. Since the geometric evaluation and interpretations of a polarized light wave are associated with geometric phase, a new type of geometric phase model has been ...

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Hypoplastic Model for Unsaturated Soils With Degree of Saturation Dependent Stiffness
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents an enhanced hydro‐mechanically coupled hypoplastic constitutive model for unsaturated soils, developed by extending an existing framework, with particular emphasis on improving the stiffness formulation to better capture the influence of the degree of saturation. The existing framework links Bishop's effective stress to the

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gas generation and migration in bentonite buffer materials are critical processes affecting the performance of deep geological repositories for radioactive waste. This study presents a new hydro‐mechanical formulation for simulating gas migration in saturated, compacted bentonite, with particular emphasis on the role of non‐uniform stress ...

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Under the roof of Christian churches in Central Europe, some nonprofit organizations (NPOs) grow, while others are in marked decline. Our study in this context extends a previous focus on financial indicators to NPO managers' experiences, their role clarity and job satisfaction, during phases of organizational growth and decline. Specifically,

Mobilizing Presence across Borders: Devotion to Papua New Guinea's Blessed Peter To Rot in Australia
Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article engages with the conjunctures between migration and religion by focusing on the celebration of Papua New Guinea's ‘National Patron Saint’, the Blessed Peter To Rot, in the Australian diaspora. Both in Sydney and Brisbane, Catholic Papua New Guinea (PNG) migrants have been ‘relocating’ PNG shrines, regalia, relics and ritual ...

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species
Oikos, EarlyView.There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Coexisting ant species differ in ability to meet their intrinsic nutritional needs
Oikos, EarlyView.Coexisting species are often assumed to reduce competition by foraging for foods that differ in nutrient composition, but few studies test whether field nutritional differences correspond to intrinsic differences in macronutrient selectivity. We compared field estimates of worker trophic position (tissue isotopes: δ15N) and worker tissue stoichiometry (
