A $10 annual membership fee will include the monthly Carmel Republican Women\u27s Club newsletter, UPDATE, and participation in meetings of both organizations. We invite your active participation. Please join other Republican men on March 3, 1986 (see invitation attached). We believe you will enjoy meeting the candidates for Mayor of Carmel-By-The-Sea and candidates for the Carmel City Council. Looking forward to seeing you at our kick-off -breakfast.

Experimental Study of Dual Bell Nozzles
No full textAn experimental study was conducted testing Dual-bell nozzles in various conditions at DLR’s cold gas test stand. The stability of the nozzle flow has been verified by measuring the pressure ratio values by flow transition and retransition, to ensure a hysteresis between the two operation modes. The transition duration and the velocity of the transition front in the nozzle extension were calculated using pressure measurement and Schlieren optics to demonstrate the feasibility of the Dual-Bell concept
A stronger Bell argument for quantum non-locality
No full textIt is widely accepted that the violation of Bell inequalities excludes local theories of the quantum realm. In this paper I present a stronger Bell argument which even forbids certain non-local theories. The remaining non-local theories, which can violate Bell inequalities, are characterised by the fact that at least one of the outcomes in some sense probabilistically depends both on its distant as well as on its local parameter. While this is not to say that parameter dependence in the usual sense necessarily holds, it shows that the received analysis of quantum non-locality as “outcome dependence or parameter dependence” is deeply misleading about what the violation of Bell inequalities implies
The Altitude Adaptive Dual Bell Nozzle
No full textThe dual bell nozzle has been found out to be one of the most promising concepts for alti-tude adaption of the nozzle jet. The wall contour inflection linking the base nozzle with the ex-tension provides two stable operating modes, circumventing the area ratio limitation inherent to conventional main stage engine nozzles. During the past decade, numerous experimental as well as analytical investigations have been conducted at the German Aerospace Center for a better understanding and the qualification of the dual bell concept for main stage engine application. Cold and hot flow tests aimed to point out the influence of the geometrical parameters on the flow behavior. The conditions for the transition from sea level to altitude mode and back, the hysteresis between these values, the duration of the transition and the resulting side load genera-tion were of particular interest. The contour optimization results in a trade-off between the tran-sition duration, stability and side load amplitude, all depending on the extension length. Out of the experimental work, it was possible to define the parameters for realistic dual bell nozzle geometries and to conduct an analytical study of the nozzle behavior during ascent of a parallel staged heavy launcher. The additional loss in sea level, the so-called drag effect, was evaluated for the chosen nozzle using DLR’s CFD in-house code Tau. The present paper gives an over-view on current experimental and analytical dual bell research activities

Seismic pounding mitigation of a modern heritage R/C bell tower
No full textPounding is one of the greatest sources of seismic vulnerability of pre-normative R/C structures, as they have often been built at poor distance from adjacent buildings. The effects of pounding can be particularly severe in slender modern R/C heritage structures, including civic or bell towers. An emblematic case study falling in this class of structures, i.e. a monumental R/C bell tower constructed in the early 1960s to replace the former 19th century tower of the Chiesa del Sacro Cuore in Florence, is analyzed in this paper. In order to assess the effects of pounding, a non-linear dynamic finite element enquiry was carried out by simulating collisions with a multi-link viscoelastic contact model originally implemented in this study. The survey results show that pounding affects the seismic response of the bell tower and the church as early as an input seismic action scaled at the amplitude of the normative basic design earthquake level. A retrofit hypothesis to prevent pounding is then proposed, which consists in linking the two structures by means of a pair of fluid-viscous dampers. The technical implementation of this rehabilitation strategy and the benefits induced in the response of the bell tower are discussed in detail in the paper. © 2013 WIT Press
The implications of grassland and heathland management for the conservation of spider communities: a review
No full textBoth intensity and type of habitat management in grasslands and heathlands affect spider communities. With high intensity management, spider communities often lack diversity and are dominated by a few r-selected species affiliated with bare ground. Low intensity management produces more complex communities introducing more niches for aerial web spinners and climbing spiders. The preferred management will be site-dependent and may not be appropriate for all spiders in all situations, particularly for some rare or threatened species. Providing natural cover is recommended when using extreme forms of management or intensive grazing (particularly by sheep). In extreme cases, or where trampling is heavy, the litter layer should be conserved. We advocate research and survey before and after major management implementation. Habitat management for spiders should not be considered alone, but integrated into a holistic plan. Management for spiders may conflict with rare plant conservation and small reserves should examine the viability of providing two contrasting regimes
Extracting information from Repertory Grid data: new perspectives on clinical and assessment practice
No full textThe repertory grid technique devised by Kelly (1955/1991) can be useful in clinical practice and re-search, because it provides significant information in terms of the respondents' mental structure. How-ever, it is a complex technique calling for a substantial investment of time and effort by both clinician and respondent if the information obtained is to be relevant and useful. Its main advantage is that it al-lows the patient's personally relevant data to be subjected to the rigor of the mathematical-statistical elaboration of underlying structures in the data provided by computer analysis. The present article shows how this can be undertaken using a grid completed by a woman with an eating disorder. Addi-tionally, the paper provides a historical context for grid analyses carried out with a freeware computer program available in English and Italian that incorporates recently developed methods of grid analysis
