The coupled structure-acoustic problem is studied using the finite element method. An efficient strategy for solving the coupled eigenvalue problem is proposed. The strategy uses a limited number of the uncoupled structural normal modes and acoustic fluid normal modes together with a set of interface-dependant Lanczos vectors for each domain to reduce the coupled problem. The Lanczos vectors are c

The impact of the Rome-oriented "Ultramontanism" on the Catholic world in the nineteenth century helped to reactivate the Counter-Reformational confessionalism and simultaneously functioned as an injection for Catholic missionary work. The stance of the Catholic ecclesiology of the time was that even formally Christian but non-Catholic countries could be regarded as fields for missionising. The Ca

Makalero is a non-Austronesian/Papuan language spoken in East Timor. Its profile is largely isolating, the basic SOV word order being crucial in determining the grammatical relations of the uninflected word forms. Yet there is a small class of transitive verbs which acquire a prefix when the direct object is a third person. This allows a certain amount of flexibility in word order. A formally iden

Publikationen är utformad som en handledning med dels allmän information om resfria möten, dels en metod i tio steg för att hjälpa organisationer komma igång med resfria möten på ett organiserat sätt. Efter de tio stegen beskrivs mer utförligt vilka effekterna blir och på de avslutande sidorna finns goda exempel från organisationer som har satsat på resfria möten. Handledningen används med fördel

Three arguments for the conclusion that objects cannot endure in B-time even if they remain intrinsically unchanged are examined: Carter and Hestevold’s enduring-objects-as-universals argument (American Philosophical Quarterly 31(4):269–283, 1994) and Barker and Dowe’s paradox 1 and paradox 2 (Analysis 63(2):106–114, 2003, Analysis 65(1):69–74, 2005). All three are shown to fail.
