‘O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: let the whole earth tremble before him’ (Psalm 96:9)

“…Following James Fowler, my view is that the direction that the most mature form of faith, is that which acknowledges ambiguity and unknowableness in religious belief. Robert Ellwood also suggests that the Western post-Christian world is moving unto what he calls the ‘folk-religion’ stage where persons may follow many different religious beliefs and practices simultaneously in a syncretistic way without believing any of them in a literal sense, or alternatively believing them all, despite difference and incongruity. …”

Experimental Estimation of the Heat Transfer Coefficient of an Unglazed Solar Plate for Unsteady Humid Outdoor Condition by Felix Uba, Eric Osei Essandoh, Gilbert Ayine Akolgo, Richard Opoku, Lawrence Oppong-Kyereh, Eric Anokye Gyimah

“…The interfacial temperature between the plate and an asbestos board ranges from 42°C to 52°C, and that of the asbestos and a plywood is 40°C to 46°C. The specific heat capacity of the mild steel plate and the asbestos board used for the construction of the experimental setup are 25.00 kJ/kg and 950.00 kJ/kg, respectively, while the thermal conductivity of these materials is 0.46 W/m·K and 0.25 W/m·K, respectively. …”

Distorting crack-front geometry for enhanced toughness by manipulating bioinspired heterogeneity by Kaijin Wu, Zhaoqiang Song, Mengqi Liu, Zewen Wang, Si-Ming Chen, Shu-Hong Yu, Linghui He, Yong Ni

“…We reveal theoretically and demonstrate experimentally that the local mixed-mode I + II + III fracture triggered by local anisotropic heterogeneities lead to a helical crack front in a representative heterogeneous system with bioinspired twisted plywood structures under remote mode I loading. An anomalous nonlinear law of both the enhanced fracture resistance and the helical crack-front length versus the microstructural orientation is revealed, in contrast to the linear toughening law ignoring the hidden 3D topography within crack fronts. …”
