Strip loading in reinforced concrete: Mechanical modeling and experimental validation
Abstract Strip loading of reinforced concrete is a common problem in engineering practice. The concrete compressive strength at the load introduction can be several times higher than the uniaxial concrete compressive strength, which can be attributed to geometrical and passive confining stresses caused by load dispersion and reinforcement, respectively.

A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition
Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.

Exploring oxide quasicrystals in internal space
The internal space expansion with variable system size is investigated for three different oxide quasicrystal systems. Patches of 7800, 4800 and 3600 vertices are examined in Ba–Ti–O/Pt(111), Eu–Ti–O/Pd(111) and Sr–Ti–O/Pd(111), respectively. This internal space inspection provides unique structural information for quasicrystalline systems, which goes ...

War and Peace: Ogawa Takemitsu's Theological Engagement with State and Religion
The Manchurian Incident of 1931 marked a pivotal moment in the rise of Japanese fascism. During the period from this incident until the Pacific War's defeat, dissent from the state's control was not tolerated, leading to coercive measures in religious communities. The Christian community, rather than devising theological reasoning to resist the state's
