We present numerical simulations of misaligned discs around a spinning black hole covering range parameters. Previous have shown that are strongly warped by forced precession -- in this case the Lense-Thirring effect from can break apart into discrete or rings behave quasi-independently for short timescales. With we here, confirm thin and highly inclined more susceptible to disc tearing than th...

For intelligent driving systems, the ability to recognize different styles of surrounding vehicles is crucial in determining safest, yet more efficient decisions especially context mixed environment. Knowing for instance if vehicle adjacent lane aggressive or cautious can greatly assist decision making ego terms whether and when it appropriate make particular manoeuvres (e.g. change). In additi...

Abstract Individuals of many animal species are said to have a personality. It has been shown that some individuals bolder than other the same species, or more sociable aggressive. In this paper, we analyse what it means say an We clarify personality is, its ontology, and how different concepts relate each other, examine traits identified in biological practice. Our analysis shows biologists of...

In this article we study the treewidth of the display graph, an auxiliary graph structure obtained from the fusion of phylogenetic (i.e., evolutionary) trees at their leaves. Earlier work has shown that the treewidth of the display graph is bounded if the trees are in some formal sense topologically similar. Here we further expand upon this relationship. We analyse a number of reduction rules w...

The “crowd” in online crowdfunding is no longer just comprised of retail investors; in fact, debt-based crowdfunding or peer-to-peer lending has long attracted the interest of institutional investors. Given their expertise, institutional investors are often referred to as “smart money” in traditional financial markets. It is not clear however how they may behave in this nascent market, and more...

in this work, dynamic mechanical properties of three high-manganese steels with trip/twip or fully twip characteristics are studied. high strain rate experiments in the range of true strain rates between ~500 and 1800 /s are conducted using a dynamic torsional testing setup. all the three steels show a positive strain rate sensitivity in the intermediate range of strain rates (up to 500 /s). bu...
