    Von der Dekoration zur Narration

    Get PDF
    Die bedeutendsten Kapitel der Entstehung und Formierung slovenischer Literatur sind auch vom Standpunkt gesellschaftshistorischer und geistesgeschichtlicher Dimension untersucht, trotzdem aber herrschen ästhetische Aspekte und literarische Neugier vor. Aus der beschriebenen Neugier und der erwähnten Prämisse entstand auch der Titel, den das Buch trägt. "Von der Dekoration zu Narration" - dieser Titel enthüllt mit seiner begrifflichen Antithese im Literaturplan jenen Bogen, der auch die allgemeinen Determinanten im Geschichtsgeschehen des slovenischen Menschen mit Leben erfüllt. Literaturverz. S. 156 - 163

    Study on the influence of elastic modulus heterogeneity on in-situ stress and its damage to gas shale reservoirs

    Shale heterogeneity has a significant effect on drilling and completions, hydraulic fracturing, as well as hydrocarbon development performance. However, it lacks representation of rock damage/failure caused by the mechanical heterogeneity and “stress shadow” effect during the hydraulic fracturing process. In this paper, the Galerkin finite element method was adopted to numerically simulate the hydro-mechanical coupled interaction based on the solver in the COMSOL Multiphysics software and Matlab scripting development. The Weibull probability density function was used to represent the mechanical heterogeneity of gas shale. Under the condition of fully fluid-solid coupling during the fracking process, the effect of mechanical heterogeneity on von – Mises stress, strain energy density, damage factor, and fluid pressure was numerically simulated in the gas shale wells. The curves of von – Mises stress, strain energy density, and damage factor along a certain straight line showed the obvious decreasing distribution in a completely homogeneous formation. As the strata are heterogeneously enhanced, their distribution curves showed fluctuations. Moreover, von – Mises stress and strain energy density had a good relationship with damage factors. Accordingly, the method of rock damage/fracture and "stress shadow" effect caused by mechanic heterogeneity was put forward under the circumstance of two–dimensional plane strain. That was to use, the von – Mises stress or strain energy density at the single point or line to characterize the degree of local rupture or the shadow effect of stress, and the average strain energy density per unit area to characterize the degree of rupture of the rock or the intensity of the shadow effect. The study is of great significance to further improve the SRV(Stimulated Reservoir Volume) fracturing design and the productivity of gas shale wells

    Impact of Diet and/or Exercise Intervention on Infrapatellar Fat Pad Morphology: Secondary Analysis from the Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis (IDEA) Trial

    The infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) represents intra-articular adipose tissue that may contribute to intra-articular inflammation and pain by secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Here we examined the impact of weight loss by diet and/or exercise interventions on IPFP volume

    Basic Exploratory Study of Bisphenol A (BPA) Dietary Administration to Istrian Pramenka Rams and Male Toxicity Investigation

    Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical and environmental pollutant, has been reported by many researchers to induce male reproductive toxicity in different experimental models. In this study, we investigated whether long-term exposure for two months to 25 mu g/kg body weight (low dose) of BPA affects spermatogenesis or sperm quality in young Istrian Pramenka rams exposed via diet. We evaluated body and testicular weights, histopathology of testes and epididymides, and sperm analyses, and compared these parameters between the group of treated rams and the control group of rams. Although there were some differences between the two groups, these differences were not large or statistically significant. The only statistically significant difference was the lower epithelial height of seminiferous tubules in treated rams, compared to control rams. In addition to assessing toxicity, BPA concentrations in the blood plasma of treated rams were determined after the first administration, and the toxicokinetic parameters of total BPA were calculated. In this study, no major signs of altered reproduction in rams were detected
