A nonlocal continuum plasticity theory is presented. The nonlocal field introduced here is defined as a certain weighted average of the corresponding local field, taken over all the material points in the body. Hereby, a quantity with the dimension of length occurs as a material parameter. When this so-called internal length is equal to zero, the local classical plasticity theory is regained. In t
This article investigates hydrological lexicon in Jahai, a Mon-Khmer language of the Malay Peninsula. Setting out from an analysis of the structural and semantic properties as well as the indigenous vs. borrowed origin of lexicon related to drainage, it teases out a set of distinct lexical systems for reference to and description of hydrological features.

This panel compares the subjective understanding of success and socioeconomic mobility of immigrants from the Middle East in Europe with national discourses of integration. Despite the abundance of research on Middle Eastern migrants in Europe, not much is known about their subjective understanding of their socioeconomic positions and experience with social mobility. Much of the research looks at
Abstract in UndeterminedSmall-scale distributed generators connected tothe low voltage network are generally operated with unitypower factor. However, controlling their reactive powerinjection would have an impact on the voltage at theirconnection point, if the network is sufficiently weak andinductive. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how asmall-scale distributed generator connected to
Abstract in Polish Można rzec, że przy tworzeniu archiwum przez konkretne instytucje wybór oprogramowania to kwestia mniej istotna w porównaniu z tym, czym jest przekonanie pracowników naukowych do umieszczania swoich prac repozytorium. Namówienie autorów do samoarchiwizowania tekstów w archiwach jest wielkim wyzwaniem, jednak nie mniej ważny jest wybór oprogramowania, który poważnie wpływa na jegOne could argue that the choice of software is a minor issue when setting up an institutional repository and that the big task is the one that follows, namely to induce the researchers to actually add their publications to the archive. It is true that getting the researchers to actually use the archive is the big challenge no matter what software you are using. Even so the choice of software and w
Oral performances of written texts were a common feature in the Greek and Roman world of the first-century CE. Poetry and prose writings were orally delivered by trained lectors in public as well as in private settings. The various performances were affected by commonly held conventions of delivery (as described by e.g. Whitney Shiner, Proclaiming the Gospel, and William David Shiell, Reading Acts
