Climate change has great effect on water resources in the source region of the Yellow River, which affects agricultural productivity, industrial water supply and wildlife management in the whole river basin. The hydrologic characteristics of precipitation, temperature and runoff in the source region of the Yellow River are analyzed using the long-term observed data from 1961 to 2010. The trend of
Around the globe more than 350,000 citizens live with a sophisticated hearing aid device called Cochlear Implant. In many countries CI is an institutionalized medical procedure for restoring deafened with a technological sense of hearing but the social challenges for users is a largely unexplored issue. Addressing this social dimension, the article explores how Cochlear Implant works as a boundary
The study concludes that there were contacts between Birka and western Finland throughout more or less the whole existence of the town. The earliest evidence of these contacts is from the 760s and the latest from the middle of the tenth century. Unlike other eastern material in Birka, which became much more frequent during the second half of the ninth century the contacts with Finland were constan
The article is based on my contribution to the Phenomenology and Aesthetics seminar at the University of Riga 29 Jun - 1 July 2017, where I compared Edith Stein's theory about Empathy (Einfühlung) with Stanislavski's conception of scenic action as perspective taking.
Lamb modes with zero group velocity at nonzero wave numbers correspond to local and stationary resonances in isotropic plates. Lamb modes can be utilized for nondestructive evaluation of the elastic properties and thickness. One example of an application is the testing of plate-like concrete structures. In this example, continuous variation in the material velocity through the thickness may occur.
