Rolls' presentation of emotion as integral to cognition is a welcome counter to a long tradition of treating them as antagonists. His eduction of experimental evidence in support of this view is impressive. However, we nd Rolls' excursion into the philosophy of consciousness less successful. Rolls gives syntactical manipulation the central role in consciousness (in stark contrast to Searle, for...

[1] The planform of sublithospheric convection is studied by a 3-D linear stability analysis of longitudinal rolls in the presence of vertical shear. Rayleigh numbers up to 10 are considered. The transition Rayleigh number over which longitudinal rolls are unstable is derived as a function of surface velocity. Effects of nonlinear vertical shear are shown to be insignificant unless nonlinearity...

The metal processing system usually consists of various components such like motors, work rolls, backup rolls, idle rolls, sensors, etc. Even a simple fault in a single component in the system may cause a serious damage on the final product. It is therefore necessary to diagnose the faults of the components to detect and prevent system failure. Especially, the defects in a work roll are critica...

Recent experiments in rotating convection have shown that the spatio-temporal bulk convective state with Küppers–Lortz dynamics can be suppressed by small-amplitude modulations of the rotation rate. The resultant axisymmetric pulsed target patterns were observed to develop into axisymmetric travelling target patterns as the modulation amplitude and Rayleigh number were increased. Using the Navi...

In this paper, an analytical method based on Modified Slab Method of analysis is presented to study the asymmetrical rolling process due to difference in work rolls radii, rolls speeds and interface frictions. The shear force imposed on material along the contact region is considered to be a function of the frictional factor and the roll gap geometry. Elastic-plastic with linear work hardening ...

Article history: Received 10 May 2016 Received in revised form 23 August 2016 Accepted 28 August 2016 Available online 30 August 2016 Drumming sounds are substantial clues when searching audio recordings for the presence of woodpeckers. Woodpeckers use drumming for territory defence and mate attraction to such an extent that some species have no vocalisations for these functions. This implies t...

Electrochemical deposition (ECD) in thin cells with different orientations relative to gravity leads to complex stable and unstable physicochemical hydrodynamic flows. Here we study the impact of gravity on these flows through a theoretical macroscopic 3D model and its numerical simulation. The model describes the diffusive, migratory, and convective motion of ions in a fluid subject to an elec...

The article is devoted to the experimental study of influence parameters roll module on width contact area. Regression and empirical models area load intensity, radius speed rolls were developed. It was revealed that, with other parameters, at an increase in increases approaches a certain value, which for does not change rolls, while it increases. found that large values intensity dependence ch...

Most RPGs (role-playing games) use some sort of randomizer when resolving actions. Most often dice are used for this, but a few games use cards, rock-paper-scissors or other means of randomization. There are dozens of different ways dice have been used in RPGs, and we are likely to see many more in the future. This is not an evolution from bad methods to better methods – there is no such thing ...
