In 2018, the Irish public voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution, which since 1983 banned abortion in the country. While this was a watershed moment in Irish history, it was not unconnected to wider discussions now taking place around the world concerning gender, reproductive rights, the future of religion, Church–State relationships, democracy and social movements. With th
Abstract Invasive species often have harmful effects on human activities and biodiversity. The Tapinoma nigerrimum complex includes three species that exhibit invasive traits and the ability to form supercolonies, including Tapinoma magnum and Tapinoma darioi . While these species are native to the Mediterranean basin, they have recently been reported as invasive in more northern regions of Europe
Moisture is decisive for a large number of binding and transport processes in high performance concrete affecting the durability, shrinkage and performance in various envi-ronments. An experimental study on the moisture transport properties of 20 concrete mixes was made during seven years, with type of binder, additives and water-binder ratio as parameters. An upside-down glass cup method was used
A comparative in vitro survey of physiologically relevant human and microbial proteinases defined a number of enzymes that induced specific hinge domain cleavage in human IgG1. Several of these proteinases have been associated with tumor growth, inflammation, and infection. A majority of the identified proteinases converted IgG to F(ab')(2), and a consistent feature of their action was a transient
This article has two objectives. At a first level we present an overview of four aspects of the French DP and its acquisition by adult Swedish speaking learners, namely the existence of a bare noun stage, the syntactic status of the definite article, the placement of the adjective and gender agreement. At a second level, we wish to illustrate a method in Research on Language Acquisition which is i
This paper considers the effects of defects in the form of cracks on the failure properties in the thickness direction of multilayered board. The objective was to study how the peak stress value changes with various crack lengths under various load conditions. Specimens with manufactured cracks cut parallel to the machine-direction–cross-machine-direction plane were glued in the Arcan device and t
Deux filles sont autour d'une table sur laquelle est posée une carte d'Italie. L'une d'elles est blonde, avec cheveux bouclés, et porte une robe verte, et l'autre a des cheveux brunes attachés en deux couettes, et porte une robe bleue. La première est assez ronde tandis que l'autre est mince comme une aiguille. Deux tasses de café (ou de thé, ou de chocolat, ou de cappuccino...) sont posées sur la
A new approach to analyze notched paper sheet loaded in mode I, based on cohesive crack modelling, is investigated. The method predicts final failure of the sheet, regardless of the sheet size and initial crack length. Onset of crack growth, stable crack growth and onset of unstable crack growth are predicted. The simulations of the notched paper sheet reveal that the concept of autonomy, i.e. ind
After emigrating from England to Canada in the late 1970s, Robin Wood gained wide recognition as a major “Canadian” film critic, but he was criticized by some for his luke-warm response to the cinema of his adopted country. That response can be traced, in part, to the influence of the English literary critic F.R. Levis, but also to intellectual trends and cultural preferences Wood shared with othe
Marriage with the prospect of migration may lead to new patterns of union formation in globalized marriage markets. Annika Elwert looks at characteristics and marriage patterns of majority natives who are in unions with immigrants who either lived in the country before union formation or migrated around the time of marriage, and gives insights about majority natives’ openness towards different imm
Abstract in French Le monologue théâtral par l’auteur italien Alessandro Baricco, Novecento, publié en 1994 a fait l’objet de deux adaptations: en 1998 Giuseppe Tornatore a réalisé un film en langue originale anglaise, The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean; en 2008, Baricco lui-même, en collaboration avec le dessinateur Giorgio Cavazzano et le scénariste Tito Faraci, signe l’adaptation en bandes
We study the adjoint of the double layer potential associated with the Laplacian (the adjoint of the Neumann-Poincaré operator), as a map on the boundary surface Γ of a domain in R3 with conical points. The spectrum of this operator directly reflects the well-posedness of related transmission problems across Γ. In particular, if the domain is understood as an inclusion with complex permittivity ε,
The sex pheromones produced by virgin females of three species of small ermine moths occurring sympatrically on the European spindle tree were analysed by gas chromatography and the synthetic compounds tested against male moths in the laboratory and field. Pheromone gland extracts of Yponomeuta cagnagellus were shown to contain tetradecyl acetate, (E)‐11‐ and (Z)‐11‐tetradecenyl acetate, tetradeca
