Abstract Santa Pudia calcarenite was one of the most commonly used building materials in construction historical buildings city Granada (Spain). As a result, has been mainly studied from petrographical point view previous works. In this work, mechanical properties are studied. The main (compressive strength, elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio) were determined using corresponding tests. Samples...

Lower Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) sandstones of the Ghaggar-Hakra Formation in Barmer Basin northwest Rajasthan, India, have a complex depositional history which is confusing given they are quartzose arenites. The heavy mineral grains very well-rounded, and assemblage dominated by zircon rutile suggesting that sediments been recycled multiple times, whilst presence staurolite indicates metapelit...

This paper explores self-perceived mate value (SPMV), and its association with self-esteem, in eight cultures. 1066 participants, from 8 cultural groups in 7 countries, rated themselves on 24 SPMVs and completed a measure of self-esteem. Consistent with evolutionary theory, women were more likely to emphasise their caring and passionate romantic nature. In line with previous cross-cultural rese...

BACKGROUND Few studies have addressed the challenges associated with international students as they adapt to studying medicine in a new host country. Higher level institutions have increasing numbers of international students commencing programmes. This paper explores the experiences of a cohort of students in the early years of medical school in Ireland, where a considerable cohort are from an...

This chapter offers an overview of psychology’s approach to sex differences in emotion, beginning from a discussion of how psychology has approached emotion. The chapter takes a critical, social-constructionist stance on emotion and critiques psychology’s essentialist stance. Moreover, it introduces a new direction in psychology in which emotion and gender are studied from a discursive perspect...
