Painless causality in defect calculations

Karmic Calculations: The Social Implications of Karmic Causality in Tibet

Karma and its place in reincarnation theory are favorite topics among scholars of Tibetan religion, underlying interpretations of almost all facets of Tibetan culture. Though karma's significance in Tibetan culture is undeniable, the specificity of its implications as a type of causality is sometimes taken for granted. Portrayals of karma as an ethically just, individualistic system of cause an...

Analysis of Causality between Defect Causes Using Association Rule Mining

Construction defects are major components that result in negative impacts on project performance including schedule delays and cost overruns. Since construction defects generally occur when a few associated causes combine, a thorough understanding of defect causality is required in order to more systematically prevent construction defects. To address this issue, this paper uses association rule...

Mechanics of defect transport in tungsten from first-principles calculations

p, li {white-space: prewrap;} Tungsten (W) is an important material for high temperature applications due to its refractory nature. However, like all transition metals from the VI-A group, W suffers from low-temperature brittleness and lack of ductility, which severely limits its use as a structural material. Tungsten’s mechanical properties can be enhanced by alloying with elements with d-elec...

Factors in Painless Tonsillectomy.

Many factors are concerned in obtaining a comparatively painless progress through convalescence after removal of the tonsils. It is impossible, and, in fact, undesirable, to keep the operation area immobile as in other operations, and so it is important to consider what can be done best for the patient's comfort. I propose to survey the pre-operative treatment, the operation, and the post-opera...
