A New Methodology for Measuring Tsunami Resilience Using Theory of Springs

Resilience is a deeply rooted word in theory of elasticity, which is firstly introduced to English by Thomas Young in 1807 in his treatise “A course of lectures on natural philosophy and the mechanical arts”. However, recently it is frequently used in ecology, economics, social sciences, and as everyone knows in the disaster literature. The purpose of this article is to investigate the mechanical background of word resilience, discuss lessons we could learn from the theory of elasticity for evaluating tsunami resilience, and finally, to propose a new mathematical model based on theory of springs. The mathematical model is in compliance with a pragmatic conceptual framework for evaluating resilience. The effective resilience of a given area can be calculated by aggregation of three components namely, onsite capacity, instantaneous survivability, and recovery potential of the area. The authors suggest that the magnitude of each component depends on socioeconomic, infrastructural and geographical factors of the area considered. Here, we show that aggregation of the individual components can be done in compliance with the theory of springs by analogizing effective tsunami resilience to effective spring constant. The mathematical model will be useful for evaluating the resilience of townships to hydrological disasters and also planning resilient townships, specifically to tsunami.

Theory: A Short Guide for Classicists

In addition to the ‘Key words’ at the head of the article that are provided for online searches, there are a number of other terms that may be regarded as key words in Theory, i.e. terms that tend to recur in works of Theory, works about Theory, and works that employ Theory, terms by which the presence of Theory may be recognised. Many of these are French (or German) words that an English rendering may not fully explicate. Also, they cannot be fully understood outside the context in which they are used, which is a necessary limitation on books about Theory, necessary though these are for beginners. (Wittgenstein famously said that one should not ask for the meaning of a term but look for the use.)

Grammatical versus lexical words in theory and aphasia: Integrating linguistics and neurolinguistics

The distinction between grammatical and lexical words is standardly dealt with in terms of a semantic distinction between function and content words or in terms of distributional distinctions between closed and open classes. This paper argues that such distinctions fall short in several respects, and that the grammar-lexicon distinction applies even within the same word class. The argument is based on a recent functional and usage-based theory of the grammar-lexicon distinction (Boye & Harder 2012) and on the assumption that aphasic speech data represent the ideal testing ground for theories and claims about this contrast. A theoretically-based distinction between grammatical and lexical instances of Dutch modal verb forms and the verb form hebben was confronted with agrammatic and fluent aphasic speech. A dissociation between the two aphasia types was predicted and confirmed.

The purpose of this study is to show how creative literary texts (key words) can be used for the purpose of inculcating the hidden meaning of the creative literary text. By analyzing the key words within the creative texts, the researcher can find hidden meaning in it, Which is characterized by this subject (key words) to reflect the hidden significance of the texts, but we have not yet find any research or academic message in the Kurdish literary criticism on this subject. In this study, we have presented the subject (key words) in terms of content and context as well, and we have explained the concept and definition of (words) we also explained the dimensions and importance of key words in theory. On the practical side, we analyzed (key words) within the texts of three stories, and it became clear to us that each text contains (key word) and include in their fold the subtle connotation for those stories and it became clear to us that (key words) of those texts were mainly distributed throughout the fabric of the text of those texts.

Summary The question of the meaning of life is the subject of a lively scholarly debate both in the Netherlands and abroad. This article concentrates on an aspect of the question that has often been addressed but is still waiting for a careful treatment: the analogy between linguistic meaning and the meaning of life. With respect to linguistic meaning, the article distinguishes between two types of theories of meaning. According to the first theory words are names for concepts and hence also for the structural divisions of reality to which our concepts correspond, and the meaning of a word is the concept (or thing or class of things) to which it refers. According to the second theory, words are tools which we use to exercise conceptual skills, and the meaning of a word is the conceptual skill exercised with that word. In correspondance with these theories of linguistic meaning, the article distinguishes between two theories of the meaning of life. According to the first theory, externalism, the meaning of life is determined by its relation (“reference”) to a transcendent primary determinant of meaning; it is therefore independent of the “use” we make of it. According to the second theory, internalism, the meaning of life is determined by the use we make of it: life cannot acquire meaning without our giving meaning to it. Just as the theory which construes words as tools does not imply that we cannot use words to refer to extra-linguistic objects, internalism does not imply that reality does not provide objective grounds upon which to build our meaning. Subjective internalists argue that there is no such ground and that man has to create his own meaning ex nihilo, but objective internalists, most of all the theists among them, argue that there are such grounds. Finally the article employs the distinctions made above in a counter argument against the anti-theistic arguments of two subjective internalists, Jaap van Heerden and Elmar D. Klemke. The article shows that they mistakenly suppose that the theistic alternative has to be construed along externalist lines, whereas theists themselves construe their theory of meaning along objective internalist lines, which renders it much more plausible.

An Employer's View of the Church's Function in Industry

W ITHIN recent years some notable changes have taken place in the views of employers concerning the function of the Church in industry. Formerly, it was the consensus of opinion that neither the Church nor the State had any right to function in respect to industry. Industry, we thought, should be free; free, not only as a whole, but in all its functions and all its factors. Competition should be free; bargaining should be free; above all, labor should be free. From the greatest to the least let each run his race-and the de'il take the hindmost. That was our philosophy in the last century. It was the extreme individualism of Herbert Spencer applied to economics, with the doctrine of the survival of the fittest held up as the last word in theory, and often literally exemplified in practice. Modern industry was largely built on the basis of that philosophy and, needless to say, it has been in numerous instances a
