time axis could be detected. Hence, one concludes that if the deformation introduced changes in the elastic constants C33 or C44 these changes must be less than one or two percent for strains up to 10—' radian. Such a result is to be expected since the appearance of slip bands on the surface indicates that the deformation was confined to numerous very narrow bands. Within these bands one might ...

Abstract. The use of multiple digital technologies has addressed conventional exhibition display issues, improving public experience, and aiding in the understanding historical changes cultural heritage. This facilitates community sharing international promotion. Furthermore, promotion novel application scenarios can encourage growth consumption creativity industry. Beijing's Central Axis is a ...

Graph drawing algorithms based on minimizing the so-called stress energy strive to place nodes in accordance with target distances. They were first introduced to the graph drawing field by Kamada and Kawai [11], and they had previously been used to visualize general kinds of data by multidimensional scaling. In this paper we suggest a novel algorithm for the minimization of the Stress energy. U...

extended abstract 1. introduction at the beginning of the 3rd millennium, future studies (foresight) have been involved in the discovery, innovation and assessment of possible, probable and desirable futures as well as analyzing past procedures; such an approach is the objective evidence of what gaston berger has stated about the future, that is “see the future and disrupt its framework” (godet...

Managing City Evacuations

Prior research debates focus on whether investors are smart enough to invest in funds that subsequently outperform. This paper documents a robust smart money effect among small fund investors who invest in the top performing funds, even after controlling for the momentum factor argued by Sapp and Tiwari (2004). I further explore the reason for the smart money effect and find that such outperfor...

We construct a game theoretic model of an oligarchic economy that potentially could be targeted by smart international sanctions. Oligarchs in this economy provide support for their leader, a strong man and potentially an autocrat, in return for favors that results in having income higher than the average income in the country. We derive the conditions under which smart sanctions lead to compli...
