G.N. Itz: Stadsbouwmeester van Dordrecht 1832-1867
No full textDit boek bespreekt het leven en werk van G.N. Itz, stads bouwmeester van Dordrecht en zijn positie binnen de architectuurstromingen van de eerste helft van de negentiende eeuw. Een tijdvak dat tot nu toe in de architectuurgeschiedenis weinig aandacht heeft gekregen. G.N. Itz heeft vele bouwwerken ontworpen die heden ten dage nog het aanzicht van Dordrecht bepalen. Zo is de Korenbeurs en de Oud-Katholieke Kerk St. Maria Maior van zijn hand. Mede door de vele illustraties geeft dit boek een goed overzicht van de ontwerpen van G.N. Itz.Architectur
Direct numerical simulation of turbulent Couette-Poiseuille flow with zero skin friction
No full textThe near-wall scaling of mean velocity U(y) is addressed for the case of zero skin friction on one wall of a fully turbulent channel flow. The present DNS results can be added to the evidence in support of the conjecture that U is proportional to √yw in the region just above the wall at which the mean shear dU/dy = 0
Climate Change Uncertainty Quantification: Lessons Learned from the Joint EU-USNRC Project on Uncertainty Analysis of Probabilistic Accident Consequence Codes
No full textBetween 1990 and 2000 the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Commission of the European Communities conducted a joint uncertainty analysis of accident consequences for nuclear power plants. This study remains a benchmark for uncertainty analysis of large models involving high risks with high public visibility, and where substantial uncertainty exists. The study set standards with regard to structured expert judgment, performance assessment, dependence elicitation and modeling and uncertainty propagation of high dimensional distributions with complex dependence. The integrated assessment models for the economic effects of climate change also involve high risks and large uncertainties, and interest in conducting a proper uncertainty analysis is growing. This article reviews the EU-USNRC effort and extracts lessons learned, with a view toward informing a comparable effort for the economic effects of climate change.uncertainty analysis, expert judgment, expert elicitation, probabilistic inversion, dependence modeling, nuclear safety

Tatar folk festivals and traditions through the eyes of a historian. To the 155th anniversary of scholar G.N. Akhmarov.
No full textThe name of Gaynetdin Nedzhmutdinovich Akhmarov (1864–1911) holds a spe-cial place among the scholars of the early 20th century due to his significant and multi-dimensional work. He is an educator, author of textbooks, historian, ethnographer, and public figure. The purpose of the paper is to explore the description of traditional Tatar customs and holidays in G.N. Akhmarov’s works. His historical analysis and explana-tion of the origin and development of folk traditions generates big interest not only in the academic circles, but among a broad audience of readers. The scholar’s works con-tain богатый материал on Tatar festivities. One particular work explores a Tatar wed-ding, which is shown as a national custom that has been formed over the course of many years. In his description of a Tatar wedding, the author provides its historical justification as he relies on his vast knowledge of history. G.N. Akhmarov uses this approach in the analysis of the Tatar holiday Sabantuy. The scholar reveals its history and conducts a comparative historical analysis with holidays of other Turkic peoples. The article exa¬mines the researcher’s view on other traditional festivities of Tatars
Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ
