Contextualism in Normative Political Theory and the Problem of Critical Distance [PDF]
Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, 2019 Political theory is contextualist when factual claims about context are part of the justification of normative political judgments. There are different kinds of contextualism depending on whether context is relevant for the formulation and justification of political principles (methodological contextualism), whether principles themselves are ...

International Journal of Fatigue, 2020 Abstract The theory of critical distances is based on the definition of a material-dependent length L. Here, we investigate the statistical properties of L deduced from the crack threshold or a suitable notched specimen geometry. Monte Carlo simulations are done for best-fitting analytical functions to express mean, standard deviation and skewness of

Geometric Aspects of Confining Strings
, 1998 Confining strings in 4D are effective, thick strings describing the confinement phase of compact U(1) and, possibly, also non-Abelian gauge fields. We show that these strings are dual to the gauge fields, inasmuch as their perturbative regime corresponds

A Criterion for Brittle Failure of Rocks Using the Theory of Critical Distances [PDF]
Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2015 This paper presents a new analytical criterion for brittle failure of rocks and heavily overconsolidated soils. Griffith’s model of a randomly oriented defect under a biaxial stress state is used to keep the criterion simple. The Griffith’s criterion is improved because the maximum tensile strength is not evaluated at the boundary of the defect but at ...

, 2011 Frustrated magnets such as spin ice exhibit Coulomb phases, where correlations have power-law forms at long distances. Applied perturbations can cause ordering transitions which cannot be described by the usual Landau paradigm, and are instead naturally ...

Achieving high performance outcomes through trust in virtual teams [PDF]
, 2009 Developing trust among team members is critical for achieving high performance outcomes. Recently, global business operations necessitated working in a team environment with colleagues outside traditional organizational boundaries, across distances, and ...

Multiaxial fatigue life assessment of dental implants
HeliyonAs screwed joints, dental restorations may suffer mechanical failures such as screw loosening and implant or prosthetic screw failure due to fatigue. This work is focused on the failure of the implant and develops a numerical methodology to predict its ...
