Virginity matters: power and ambiguity in the attraction of the Virgin Mary [PDF]
, 2003 This thesis seeks to account for virginity as the source of Mary's power to attract. The point of departure is the syncretistic culture of the classical world. Here, patristic use of Old Testament typology recognises the distinctive work of grace in Mary'

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,

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

Small Methods, EarlyView.The 3D beating dynamics of eukaryotic flagella drive motility, sensory functions, and resource acquisition, yet highly non‐planar beating patterns remain poorly characterized. Based on Digital Holographic Microscopy, holoV3C enables label‐free 3D reconstruction of such complex dynamics with 53 nm axial resolution, demonstrated on mouse sperm and ...

Synthesis of Patchy Particles at Phase Boundaries
Small Methods, EarlyView.The various strategies employed for synthesizing complex multifunctional patchy particles are reviewed, with, as a guideline, the type of phase boundary (solid‐gas, liquid‐gas, solid‐liquid, and liquid‐liquid), that serves as the crucial ingredient for symmetry breaking.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Simple and detailed modeling of corrosion‐affected slender shear critical RC beams
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The corrosion of steel bars compromises both the safety and the serviceability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Consequently, reliable tools are required to estimate the detrimental effects of corrosion on the structural response of RC members subjected to transverse loads.
