From a legal and psychological standpoint, this article examines some aspects involved in adoption, including the effects of the alterations made to the Statute of Children and Adolescents by the National Adoption Law. It verifies whether or not the Law accelerated the performance of adoption processes. This paper is based on bibliographic searches and statistics from Rio Grande do Sul. Results...

Biochemical pathways emerge from a series of Brownian collisions between various types of biological macromolecules within separate cellular compartments and in highly viscous cytosol. Functioning of biochemical networks suggests that such serendipitous collisions, as a whole, result into a perfect synchronous order. Nonetheless, owing to the very nature of Brownian collisions, a small yet non-...

Abstract There seem to be no answers resolve the deadlock between Global North and South on liability compensation for loss damage from climate change. Revisiting original story of international environmental law Stockholm Conference 1972 may help us address these historical tensions. In doing so, this article unveils genesis Third World Approaches International Law (TWAIL) as an alternative co...

The Fe-Cr-Ni stainless steels are well known for their ductile behaviour at cryogenic temperatures. This implies development and evolution of plastic strain fields in the stainless steel components subjected to thermo-mechanical loads at low temperatures. The evolution of plastic strain fields is usually associated with two phenomena: ductile damage and strain induced martensitic transformation...

This article explains the Dutch theory of partial liability and why application this benefited plaintiffs in case Mothers Srebrenica from a tort law perspective. Partial is under to redeem causal uncertainties, therefore functions as an exception main rule sufficient degree proof condicio sine qua non (CSQN) between wrong damage, justified by legal justice reasonableness. Loss chance one variat...

ABSTRACT This paper presents a non-linear finite element material model for the analysis of the mechanical behavior of multi-leaf masonry, which is quite frequently used in ancient stone masonry buildings. A damage model, previously developed by some of the authors for brittle materials (namely, concrete) was adapted to fit the experimental stress−strain behavior of stone masonry. To this end, ...

A shear-lag model with a cohesive fibre–matrix interface has been developed for the analysis of stress transfer between the fibre and the matrix in fibre-reinforced composites in this paper. A bilinear cohesive damage evolution law is used to describe the fibre–matrix interface behaviour. The governing equations for the interfacial shear stress and the axial stress in the fibre are derived. Acc...

Abstract Aiming at the problem that projectile charge is easy to be damaged when penetrating multi-layer targets, which affects safety of use, light gas gun was used as loading source carry out experiment penetration into single-layer, two-layer and three-layer 45# steel plates. The damage states were obtained by industrial CT technology. Combined with numerical simulation results, formation ev...
