AbstractThe application of an ensemble reduction technique to the European branch of the World Climate Research Program Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (EURO-CORDEX) ensemble at resolution “EUR-11” (~12.5 km) under the RCP8.5 scenario is presented. The technique is based on monthly mean changes between a reference and two future time periods, calculated for eight regions in Germany, of the parameters near-surface air temperature (tas), precipitation totals (pr), contribution of precipitation from very wet days to precipitation totals (R95pTOT), near-surface specific humidity (huss), and surface downwelling shortwave radiation (rsds). The sensitivity of the reduction procedure with respect to a number of tuning parameters is investigated. When the optimal combination of tuning parameters is applied, the technique allows the reduction from 15 to 7 ensemble members, while the reduced ensemble reproduces about 94% of the spread of the full ensemble. Keeping in mind that climate projection ensembles are expected to grow substantially in the near future, this ensemble reduction technique can be useful to limit the computational efforts necessary for further processing and applications such as impact modeling.

In this study, projected changes in climate extreme indices defined by the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices were investigated over Middle East and North Africa. Changes in the daily maximum and minimum temperature- and precipitation- based extreme indices were analyzed for the end of the 21st century compared to the reference period 1971–2000 using regional climate model simulations. Regional climate model, RegCM4.4 was used to downscale two different global climate model outputs to 50 km resolution under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. Results generally indicate an intensification of temperature- and precipitation- based extreme indices with increasing radiative forcing. In particular, an increase in annual minimum of daily minimum temperatures is more pronounced over the northern part of Mediterranean Basin and tropics. High increase in warm nights and warm spell duration all over the region with a pronounced increase in tropics are projected for the period of 2071–2100 together with decrease or no change in cold extremes. According to the results, a decrease in total wet-day precipitation and increase in dry spells are expected for the end of the century.

Phenomenology played a central role in twentieth-century philosophy. But, from the second half of the century, many alternative philosophical movements emerged. Despite their radical criticism of phenomenology, they regularly touched upon themes that had been originally propounded by phenomenology itself. This is true of Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Gilles Deleuze. At the basis of their approaches, there is the need for a new version of the transcendental, the idea of an impure transcendental, and the intuition of a non-transcendental structure of the transcendental, which they all name “difference.” Phenomenology could draw useful insights from these perspectives: e.g., a more continuous view of the range of psychopathological experiences; a more exact comprehension of the different temporal and spatial structures of psychopathological worlds, as the internal possibilities and infinitesimal variations of the transcendental; and a more critical way of thinking through the structure of institutions and the normativity that dominates them.

Membrane structures are widely used in large span spatial structures due to excellent mechanical behavior and beautiful forms. Mechanical properties of coated fabrics are an important basis of design, analysis, and construction of membrane structures. This paper gives an overview of the research advances in mechanical properties of coated fabrics. First, the basic mechanical indexes of coated fabrics and corresponding test methods are presented. Then, the existing constitutive relations for coated fabrics are discussed. Finally, the effect of environment and other factors on the mechanical properties of coated fabrics are studied. In addition, the future trends on the mechanical behavior of coated fabrics are given, which can be references for design and analysis of coated fabrics in civil engineering.

This article aims at providing an analysis of Carlos Saura’s Cria Cuervos [Raise ravens, 1976], focused mainly on the temporal and spatial structures of the film. It explores the dimensions of bodily presence, especially the means of representing spectral body in cinematic image.
