For the case of distinct eigenvalues of the left Cauchy-Green tensor universal relations for a transversely isotropic elastic material are expressed in a compact form. Also, two new universal relations are derived for an incompressible transversely isotropic elastic material. Key Wolds: universal manifold, incompressible materials, simple shear, annular wedge 1. INTRODUcnON A universal relation...

Plasmacytomas are localized tumors of monoclonal plasma cells without evidence of significant bone marrow infiltration or systemic myeloma, comprising B2–10% of all plasma cell neoplasms. Medullary plasmacytomas classically occur in the bone of the vertebrae or skull, whereas extramedullary plasmacytomas occur in the soft tissues, most frequently in the head and neck region involving the sinuse...

In the target article, Sloutsky, Kloos, and Fisher (SKF) presented evidence that young children perform induction based on appearance even when categories are not grounded in similarity. In their comment, Gelman and Waxman argue that evidence presented by SKF can be discounted because their stimuli are inadequate. This response focuses on two issues: (1) whether the criticism of SKF stimuli is ...

The crystal structure of katoite hydrogarnet has been refined at 0.0001, 2.15, 4.21, 5.09, 6.00, 7.09, and 7.78 GPa from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data using a 4:1 methanol:ethanol mixture as pressure medium in a Merrill-Bassett diamond-anvil cell. Below ~5 GPa, the katoite structure has Ia3d symmetry and compresses by bond shortening rather than bond bending, in agreement with recent qu...

The visualization of the process data is an important factor in understanding process behavior. In this paper, both static and dynamic process information is mapped in a self-organizing map. This method is experimented in the modeling of the simulated Tennessee Eastman benchmark process. Introduction When the processes to be controlled are becoming more and more complex, understanding the proce...

The three-dimensional structure of 132microglobulin, the light chain of the major histocompatibility complex class I antigens, has been determined by x-ray crystallography. An electron density map of the bovine protein was calculated at a nominal resolution of 2.9 A by using the methods of multiple isomorphous replacement and electron density modification refinement. The molecule is approximate...

High performance self compacting concrete (HPSCC) is typically proportioned with mineral and chemical admixtures leading to relatively high material cost. Such cost can be tolerated in high value added applications specially when cost savings can be realized using HPSCC in terms of reduction in size of reinforced concrete members. Efforts are still needed to reduce material cost of HPSCC to gai...

therefore, these categories become more abstract with them. Another important part of the process of grammatical development is the construction of paradigmatic categories such as noun and verb. Unlike syntactic roles, paradigmatic categories are not explicitly marked in language. That is, whereas such things as agent/subject are symbolically indicated by word order or grammatical morphology in...
