A Globally Conforming Lattice Structure for 2D Stress Tensor Visualization
No full textWe present a visualization technique for 2D stress tensor fields based on the construction of a globally conforming lattice. Conformity ensures that the lattice edges follow the principal stress directions and the aspect ratio of lattice elements represents the stress anisotropy. Since such a lattice structure cannot be space-filling in general, it is constructed from multiple intersecting lattice beams. Conformity at beam intersections is ensured via a constrained optimization problem, by computing the aspect ratio of elements at intersections so that their edges meet when continued along the principal stress lines. In combination with a coloring scheme that encodes relative stress magnitudes, a global visualization is achieved. By introducing additional constraints on the positional variation of the beam intersections, coherent visualizations are achieved when external loads or material parameters are changed. In a number of experiments using non-trivial scenarios, we demonstrate the capability of the proposed visualization technique to show the global and local structure of a given stress field.Accepted Author ManuscriptMaterials and Manufacturin
The 'slave of all': a tradition-historical study of a synoptic saying
Get PDFThis thesis is intended to be a study of the 'slave of all' saying, which is found in the Synoptic Gospels (Mk 10.35-45; Mk 9.33-7; Lk 22.24-7 and Mt 23.1-12). Our primary goal is to study how the early Christian communities employed this logion. The saying is examined against the background of Jewish attitudes towards slavery. A comparison of the key Torah laws regulating slavery reveals the development of an anti-slavery attitude. Often this anti-slavery sentiment is associated with feelings of Jewish nationalism. Biblical and non-Biblical materials show this attitude continued into the first century CE. Secondly, we explored the possibility that Jesus did not adhere to this anti- slavery attitude. In addition to a lack of evidence that Jesus was a Jewish nationalist, we argued that Jesus probably used slavery imagery as a positive illustration. It was argued that the 'slave of all' saying is a dominical logion. A comparison of the various pericopes resulted in the conclusion that the saying was originally intended as a rebuke of misdirected ambition. It was probably uttered at a meal setting when the disciples had begun to argue about personal greatness. The remainder of the thesis individually examined the pericopes where the 'slave of all' saying is used. The Gospel of Mark employs the saying twice in a major literary unit consisting of 8.22-10.52. Mk 10.35-45 uses the logion to delineate the Marcan community's attitude towards leadership. Mk 9.33-7 deals with membership in the community of faith. It was argued that Lk 22.24-7, which is seen to be independent of Mk 10.35- 45, takes up the saying and very specifically directs it at the leaders of the Lucan community. Filially, the saying is used by Matthew when dealing with post 70 CE factionalism between his Jewish Christian community and the local Pharisees. The logion is used to summarize the Jewish Christian understanding of leadership

Determinants of stock market participation
No full textThe low degree of stock market participation (SMP) is one of the big puzzles in finance. Numerous determinants have been proposed. We put these determinants into a structure that is derived from a standard static portfolio model. Then we discuss arguments put forward regarding specific SMP determinants and the empirical evidence that has been provided. The focus of our survey is on the identification of a causal impact of determinants on SMP via shocks. We summarize the evidence by suggesting established and likely SMP determinants and providing an outlook for future research and policy

Kubas Biolandbau-Revolution: Auskommen mit den eigenen Ressourcen
No full textKreislaufwirtschaft, Einsatz betriebseigener Produktionsmittel und regionale Vermarktung sind zentrale Elemente des Biolandbaus. Auf den ersten Blick stehen diese im Widerspruch zu den riesigen Monokulturen Kubas und zu einer exportorientierten Landwirtschaft. Doch die Rückbesinnung auf eigene Ressourcen ist für Kuba eine Notwendigkeit. Der Biolandbau eröffnet den kubanischen Landwirtschaftsbetrieben zusätzliche Marktchancen und neue Wege, eine eigenständige Landwirtschaft umzusetzen
