m-systems of polar spaces and SPG reguli

It will be shown that every m-system of W2n+1(q), Q(-)(2n+1,q) or H(2n, q(2)) is an SPG regulus and hence gives rise to a semipartial geometry. We also briefly investigate the semipartial geometries, associated with the known m-systems of these polar spaces

Personal identity processes from adolescence through the late 20s : age trends, functionality, and depressive symptoms

Personal identity formation constitutes a crucial developmental task during the teens and 20s. Using a recently developed five-dimensional identity model, this cross-sectional study (N = 5834) investigated age trends from ages 14 to 30 for different commitment and exploration processes. As expected, results indicated that, despite some fluctuations over time, commitment processes tended to increase in a linear fashion. Exploration in breadth and exploration in depth were characterized by quadratic trends, with the highest levels occurring in emerging adulthood. Further, the functionality of these identity processes, and especially of exploration, changed over time. Exploration in breadth and exploration in depth were strongly related to commitment processes especially in adolescence and emerging adulthood, but these exploration processes became increasingly associated with ruminative exploration and depressive symptoms in the late 20s. Theoretical implications and suggestions for future research are outlined

A finite element model capable of predicting resin pockets for arbitrary inclusions in composite laminates

This work presents the progress in the development of a finite element model capable of predicting resin pockets occurring in composite structures with embedded sensors. The F.E.- model is built using standard tools in ABAQUS software, avoiding the need of specialized coding. Both progresses in material characterization as well as finite element modeling are shown. The model will eventually be used to optimize the shape of an embedded optical fibre interrogator used within the FP7 ‘SmartFiber’ projec
