    St. Augustine\u27s Learning for the Glory of God: Adapting Faith-Learning Integration Terminology for the Modern World

    Full text link
    The scholastic debate about use and interpretation of the phrase “faith-learning integration” has spanned over fifty years. Glanzer (2008) proposed that this phrase be discarded and that scholars adopt the terminology “the creation and redemption of scholarship.” This concept is not new to Christian dialogue: it can be found in the writings of St. Augustine. However, there needs to be further clarification of Glanzer’s language in order to make it accessible to people of all faiths, backgrounds, and education levels. This paper will attempt to support both Glanzer’s proposal and a new direction for the discussion and encourage educators to adopt this new language as faith-based scholars

    GĂ©raldine Chouard, Eudora Welty et la photographie : Naissance d’une vision

    If Eudora Welty is a familiar figure for students of American literature, many might have overlooked her career as photographer. GĂ©raldine Chouard, who has published literary studies on Welty, undertakes here to study this relatively hidden facet of the Southern author’s life. Her book, entitled Eudora Welty et la photographie : Naissance d’une vision, provides a detailed narrative of Welty’s lifelong engagement with photography and of the rich interplays between the photographic medium and h..

    New patterns in high-speed granular flows

    Full text link
    We report on new patterns in high-speed flows of granular materials obtained by means of extensive numerical simulations. These patterns emerge from the destabilization of unidirectional flows upon increase of mass holdup and inclination angle, and are characterized by complex internal structures including secondary flows, heterogeneous particle volume fraction, symmetry breaking and dynamically maintained order. In particular, we evidenced steady and fully developed "supported" flows, which consist of a dense core surrounded by a highly energetic granular gas. Interestingly, despite their overall diversity, these regimes are shown to obey a scaling law for the mass flow rate as a function of the mass holdup. This unique set of 3D flow regimes raises new challenges for extending the scope of current granular rheological models

    Dynamics of aeolian sand ripples

    Full text link
    We analyze theoretically the dynamics of aeolian sand ripples. In order to put the study in the context we first review existing models. We argue on the local character of sand ripple formation. Using a hydrodynamical model we derive a nonlinear equation for the sand profile. We show how the hydrodynamical model may be modified to recover the missing terms that are dictated by symmetries. The symmetry and conservation arguments are powerful in that the form of the equation is model-independent. We then present an extensive numerical and analytical analysis of the generic sand ripple equation. We find that at the initial stage the wavelength of the ripple is that corresponding to the linearly most dangerous mode. At later stages the profile undergoes a coarsening process leading to a significant increase of the wavelength. We find that including the next higher order nonlinear term in the equation, leads naturally to a saturation of the local slope. We analyze both analytically and numerically the coarsening stage, in terms of a dynamical exponent for the mean wavelength increase. We discuss some future lines of investigations.Comment: 22 pages and 10 postscript figure

    David Schuyler, Sanctified Landscape: Writers, Artists, and the Hudson River Valley, 1820-1909

    Get PDF
    David Schuyler’s Sanctified Landscape: Writers, Artists, and the Hudson River Valley, 1820-1909 is an interdisciplinary study of the Hudson River valley’s construction as a cultural object throughout the xixth century. It weaves together considerations on painting, literature, landscape gardening, ecological and historical preservation, economic and industrial development in a rich narrative that illuminates the complex and evolving meanings of the river from its first touristic exploitation ..

    ISBS 2018 AUCKLAND CONFERENCE NGĀ WAI O HOROTIU MARAE PROGRAMME

    Get PDF
    Student evening supported by AMTI and Thursday tour. AUT Ngā Wai o Horotiu Marae located on the corner of Wellesley and St Paul\u27s Street Marae (Māori meeting grounds) and hangi (food) and cultural experience provided by AUT kapa haka TÄ«tahi ki Tua. Please come appropriately dressed to the Marae. Men should at least wear dress pants and a tidy shirt, while women should wear either a knee length skirt or tidy dress pants. You will remove your shoes upon entering the Marae. Manuhiri will congregate at the waharoa (gateway) of the marae and wait for the karanga (call of welcome) from the kaikaranga (the host caller). The Kaikƍrero Dr Valance Smith will welcome the manuhiri (ISBS2018 student visitors) to Ngā Wai o Horotiu (marae), and will address the assembled company and explain the protocol and proceedings. The manuhiri are then invited to have a kai (meal – hangi of food cooked in the ground) to complete the formal welcome and begin the lifting of tapu (cultural sanctions). The visitors now become tangata whenua or part of the marae and are expected to participate in the other activities that occur on the marae. The Kaikƍrero will introduce the AUT kapahaka group TÄ«tahi ki Tua (Māori students association) who will perform the haka to the assembled company. You will have the opportunity to learn the haka so you can participate in performance of the haka at the closing ceremony of the conference

    Periodic saltation over hydrodynamically rough beds: Aeolian to aquatic

    Get PDF
    International audienceWe determine approximate, analytical solutions for average, periodic trajectories of particles that are accelerated by the turbulent shearing of a fluid between collisions with a hydrodynamically rough bed. We indicate how the viscosity of the fluid may influence the collisions with the bed. The approximate solutions compare well with periodic solutions for average periodic trajectories over rigid-bumpy and erodible beds that are generated numerically. The analytic solutions permit the determination of the relations between the particle flux and the strength of the shearing flow over a range of particle and fluid properties that vary between those for sand in air and sand in water
