Following the Northridge earthquake of 1994, a significant number of steel moment resisting structural systems were damaged. Several studies have been conducted to improve the seismic performance of steel structures and specially their beam-to-column connections. One of the proposed connections for special moment-resisting frames included AISC-358 is Kaiser bolted bracket moment connection, bri...

Destruction processes are considered ‘time capsules of material culture’ (Driessen 2013) as they freeze a site at one moment its history providing key evidence for interpreting the archaeological record and reconstructing social, political, cultural ideological circumstances. By focusing on selected case-studies, this paper aims briefly discussing existing destruction events in Bronze Age conte...

Perhaps the most critical problem facing the human sciences is that of integrating two conceptions of human activity. On the one hand, humans are evolved primates. And humans are encultured beings: intentional agents who are profoundly influenced by the particular cultures in which they are immersed. It has proved remarkably difficult to develop an account of human nature and of the broad patte...

Abstract This introduction presents the symposium on Sam Knafo and Benno Teschke’s article in Historical Materialism , ‘Political Marxism Rules of Reproduction Capitalism: A Historicist Critique’ (2021). It briefly summarises foundations Political Marxism, discusses broader implications debate raised by Teschke for questions collective knowledge-production methods Marxist historiography, outlin...

The purpose of this paper is to provide a mathematical analysis of the Adler-Wiser formula relating the macroscopic relative permittivity tensor to the microscopic structure of the crystal at the atomic level. The technical level of the presentation is kept at its minimum to emphasize the mathematical structure of the results. We also briefly review some models describing the electronic structu...

For the purposes of this article, the indexing of information is interpreted as the pre-processing of information in order to enable its retrieval. This definition thus spans a dimension extending from classification-based approaches (pre-co-ordinate) to keyword searching (post-co-ordinate). In the first section we clarify our use of terminology, by briefly describing a framework for modelling ...

In identifying the requirements of a markup language for describing the mathematical semantics of physics-based models, we pose the question: “Is there a mathematical type for physical variables?” While this question has no a priori answer, since physics is fundamentally empirical, it appears that a large body of physics may be described with a single mathematical type. Briefly stated, that typ...

This chapter presents the process of interaction of light, mainly in the xray range, with matter. The subject is introduced by some experimental evidences of x-ray absorption, emission or scattering by different kinds of material. The ways of describing the electromagnetic wave field are then briefly presented before developing its interaction with an electron in an atom. This process is then a...
