In this paper, we construct new finite element methods for the approximation of the equations of linear elasticity in three space dimensions that produce direct approximations to both stresses and displacements. The methods are based on a modified form of the Hellinger–Reissner variational principle that only weakly imposes the symmetry condition on the stresses. Although this approach has been...

Norway has two major problems. First, an enormous budget surplus, resulting from petroleum exports, which economists say could overheat the Norwegian economy if it were to be reinvested on the Norwegian mainland. Second, the dependence on the petroleum sector for continued economic growth. There is consensus that new industry needs to be developed in order to maintain Norwegians’ standard of li...

Purpose. The aim of the article is to develop complex constructive mathematical models ordering processes for multi-sequences elements with fuzzy parameters. At same time, following requirements complexity evaluation (FOMSCE) were established: accounting estimates formation operations complexity, need define classes initial elements, as well building individual receiving orders from different s...

Abstract To reduce negative emotional responses and to stimulate prosociality, constructive journalism promotes the inclusion of positive emotions solutions in news. This study experimentally tested whether including those elements indeed increased prosocial intentions behavior among children, self-efficacy are mediators this regard. end, children (N = 468; 9 13 years old) were exposed an emoti...
