Discussion: “An Investigation of Dry Adhesive Wear” (Steijn, R. P., 1959, ASME J. Basic Eng., 81, pp. 56–65)

Closure to “Discussion of ‘Factors of Safety for Richardson Extrapolation’ ” (2011, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 133, p. 115501)

The Technical Brief by Roache [1] presents ten items of discussion of our factor of safety (FS) method for solution verification [2]. Our responses are listed below item-by-item using the same numbering as Roache. The nomenclature mostly follows our own and not Roache’s such as pRE for the order of accuracy calculated using the Richardson Extrapolation as opposed to the observed order of conver...

The reliability of the narrative of the Biblical Exodus has been subject of heated debate for decades. Recent archaeological studies seem to provide new insight of the exodus path, and although with a still controversial chronology, the effects of the Minoan Santorini eruption have been proposed as a likely explanation of the biblical plagues. Particularly, it has been suggested that flooding b...

An Integrated Transient and Steady-state Adhesive Wear Model

Wear coefficient is an important wear parameter. However, its value is often determined from wear tests which are conducted without taking into account both their transient wear and steadystate wear. This has resulted in wear coefficient values varying greatly from one case to another when they are determined by different investigators, making meaningful comparison difficult. Research work done...

Law enforcement agencies use various crime analysis tools to discover crimes. However, a big volume of crime data has made the process of analyzing crimes difficult. Previously proposed methods only consider improving the productivity of the detectives and other law enforcement agencies. In this paper, we argue that the crime analysis methods should be also useful for citizen, and propose a use...
