To predict the final geometry in thermo-mechanical processes, the use of modeling tools is of great importance. One important part of the modeling process is to describe the response correctly. A previously published mechanism-based flow stress model has been further developed and adapted for the nickel-based superalloys, alloy 625, and alloy 718. The updates include the implementation of a solid
With electrification of vehicles comes an increasing demand on low noise, which for gears translates to transmission error. In this paper, static transmission error, STE, is found for a large number of manufacturing error combinations belonging to different tolerance classes, with focus on those typically used in the automotive industry. There is a lack of studies found in the scientific literatur
This paper proposes distributed event-triggered schemes for achieving state consensus for multi-agent linear systems. For each agent modeled by a linear control system in Rn, a positive signal is embedded in its event function, with the aim of guaranteeing an asymptotic convergence to state consensus for networked linear systems interacted in an undirected and connected graph, and with Zeno trigge
The kinetics for manganese-catalyzed autoxidation of sulfur(IV) (SO2.nH2O, HSO3-, SO32-) in aqueous solution has been studied spectrophotometrically at 25-degrees-C, 1 < pH < 4, [S(IV)] almost-equal-to 2.3 X 10(-5) M, 1 X 10(-6) M less-than-or-equal-to [Mn(II)] less-than-or-equal-to 1.5 X 10(-3) M, [Mn(III)] less-than-or-equal-to 4 X 10(-8) M, [O2] almost 2.5 X 10(-4) M, and low ionic strength. In
With the continuous development, in the last decades, of analytical techniques providing complex information at single cell level, the study of cell heterogeneity has been the focus of several research projects within analytical biotechnology. Nonetheless, the complex interplay between environmental changes and cellular responses is yet not fully understood, and the integration of this new knowled
In an emergency or disaster situation, it is likely that a conglomerate of societal resources will respond to various needs. In such a multi-organizational setting, collaboration becomes necessary. Empirical findings suggest that collaboration can be very problematical and this paper argues that a possible explanation can be found in intra-organizational leadership ideals, dysfunctional in a colla
A new method is developed to synthesize organic microsphere-supported polymer brushes for affinity separation of saccharides and glycoproteins. In the first step, crosslinked polymer microspheres are synthesized using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The terminal ATRP initiators on the microspheres are used to graft polymer brushes from propargyl acrylate and N-isopropyl acrylamide. Th
Methanol is today considered a viable green fuel for combustion engines because of its low soot emissions and the possibility of it being produced in a CO2-neutral manner. Methanol as a fuel for combustion engines have attracted interest throughout history and much research was conducted during the oil crisis in the seventies. In the beginning of the eighties the oil prices began to decrease and i
The new compounds and potential ligands 2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethyldiphenlyphosphinite (L1), 2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethyldiethylphosphite (L2), 2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethyl-diethylphosphite (L3) and 2-(3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethyldiethylphosphite (L4) were prepared from the reaction of (3,5-(disubstituted)pyrazol-1H-yl)ethanol and the appropriate ph
INTRODUCTION: Hypertension and dyslipidemia often precede cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle modifications help prevent these conditions, and referrals for women may be possible during reproductive health care visits. However, screening recommendations vary, which may affect screening rates. The objectives of this systematic review were to 1) assess the available literature on the effectiveness of
Pharmaceutical packaging is linked to important demographic changes. Aging ofpopulations is one of the demographic changes which has called for more attention, especially in well-developed countries. The increase in life expectancy represents a positive consequence of years of research, development of medications, and improvement in life habits. In spite of that, the growth in the number of people
Phase diagrams are useful tools to study the phase equilibria of nanowire materials systems because the growth of nanowires is accompanied by phase formation and phase transition. We have modeled the phase equilibria of the As-Au-Ga ternary system by means of the CALPHAD method. This method is a well-established semi-empirical technique for thermodynamic modeling in which Gibbs energy functions wi
People who suffer from swallowing disorders, commonly referred to as dysphagia, are often restricted to a texture-modified diet. In such a diet, the texture of the fluid is modified mainly by the addition of gum or starch-based thickeners. For optimal modification of the texture, tunable rheological parameters are shear viscosity, yield stress, and elasticity. In this work, the flow properties of
This article focuses on media engagement within the reality television industry. Itdraws on qualitative research of production practices and audience participationin live reality events to explore the multiple meanings of engagement as a series ofrelationships between creative and executive producers, broadcasters, performers,and audiences. A key question concerns how do producers and audiencescoc
