Abstract. The microstructure of polycrystalline ice with a threading solution of brine controls its numerous characteristics, including the ice mechanical properties, ice-atmosphere interactions, sea-ice albedo, and (photo)chemical behavior in/on the ice. Ice samples were previously prepared in laboratories to study various facets of ice-impurities interactions and (photo)reactions to model natural ice-impurities behavior. We examine the impact of the freezing conditions and solute (CsCl used as a proxy for naturally occurring salts) concentrations on the microscopic structure of ice samples via an environmental scanning electron microscope. The method allows us to observe in detail the ice surfaces, namely, the free ice, brine puddles, brine-containing grain boundary grooves, individual ice crystals, and imprints left by entrapped air bubbles at temperatures higher than −25 °C. The amount of brine on the external surface is found proportional to the solute concentration and is strongly dependent on the sample preparation method. Time-lapse images in the condition of slight sublimation reveal sub-surface association of air bubbles with brine. With rising temperature (up to −14 °C), the brine surface coverage increases to remain enhanced during the subsequent cooling and until the final crystallization below the eutectic temperature. The ice recrystallization dynamics identifies the role of surface spikes in retarding the ice boundaries propagation (Zeener pining). The findings thus quantify the amounts of brine exposed to incoming radiation, available for the gas exchange, and influencing other mechanical and optical properties of ice. The results have straightforward implications for artificially prepared and naturally occurring salty ices.

In present paper, a numerical wave load model based on compressible two-phase Navier Stokes type equations is used to evaluate hydrodynamic forces exerted on I-10 bridge across Mobil Bay which was extensively damaged during Hurricane Katrina. The volume of fluid method (VOF) is used in the model to describe dynamic free surface which is capable of simulating complex discontinuous free surface associated with wave-deck interactions. Special emphasis was put on investigating the role of entrapped air on hydrodynamic forces exerted on bridge superstructure. Numerical simulation results indicate that air entrapment can significantly amplify uplift forces applied to the bridge superstructure. To mitigate hydrodynamic forces, effectiveness of airvents is investigated. It has been shown that airvents can significantly damp out wave energy and can effectively reduce uplift forces.

In order to analyze the mechanical properties of the steel truss roof burst in the case of defective within, the use of non-linear display dynamic finite element analysis software ANSYS / LS-DYNA to study the different effects of different random defect structure. The measured defect data is obtained by a construction tube truss roof structure .To accord to the random sampling method, defects randomly distributed and the parametric statistical information is to establish. Defect structure antiknock performance is derived, considering the tube truss structure roofing layer, and unconsidering the two simulation models for pipe truss structure roofing layer, and taking into account the rod defects affect the dynamic characteristics of tube truss structure to explosivesposition, explosives equivalent parameters by analyzing and comparing the different parameters of the explosion of the power of the tube truss structure response. Roof layer, the location of the explosion, explosives equivalent with tube truss structure antiknock performance relationship and the weak position of the structure is determined to ensure that the building security to provide a theoretical basis . The results show that the tube truss structure system when the explosion shock wave loads, its dynamic response is a very complex process, the role of the explosion shock wave loading, pipe truss the plastic development process and the structure of the internal location of the explosion, explosivesweight, defects, and consider whether the the roofing layer has relationship.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.
