During the 1920s and 1930s the idea of transmutation, so essential to esotericism, was at the core of the Fascist agenda in Italy. Sharing with esotericism a repertoire of myths, symbols and rituals, Fascism aimed to create a new kind of... more
In this study prediction of the strength properties of composites made of polyester resin and continuous glass fiber reinforcement in established grades was performed. Structure modeling based on the numerical homogenization method was... more
Two experimental relations about the effect of the homogenizing pressure P, one on the average fat globule diameter dvs [i.e. 0.6 • log10(P) = C1 - log10(dVS)], and the other on the sedimentation parameter H [i.e. 1.2 • P = C2 -... more
Agora vamos prosseguir passo a passo. Primeiro faremos uma breve retrospectiva histórica onde trataremos a homogeneização cultural juntamente com a primeira globalização impulsionada pelo colonialismo europeu, a partir das primeiras... more
The paper presents an assessment of the effect of fiber orientation on the strength properties of products made from wood-polymer composites by the injection molding process based on micromechanical analysis. For this purpose numerical... more
We present a fully embedded implementation of a full-field crystal plasticity model in an implicit finite element (FE) framework, a combination which realizes a multiscale approach for the simulation of large strain plastic deformation.... more
The marginalization of English second (L2) and foreign language (EFL) users in the academic and practical pursuit of English language teaching (ELT) has fueled the hegemonic power of the inner circle of world Englishes (CWE). Because of... more
In order to reduce costs of experimental research, new methods of forecasting material properties are being developed. The current intensive increase in computing power motivates to develop the computer simulations for material properties... more
In the case of polymer composites reinforced with natural fiber woven fabrics, microstructural calculations are extremely difficult to perform due to their characteristic variability, among others their mechanical properties. The... more
We analyze the dispersion of elastic waves in periodic beam networks based on second order gradient models obtained by the homogenization of the initially discrete network. The lattice beams have a vis-coelastic behavior described by... more
Aim  To investigate alien plant species invasion levels in different habitats and alien species traits by comparing the naturalized flora in different areas of the same biogeographical region.Location  Spain, Italy, Greece and... more
