In this work, we developed a bond-based cohesive peridynamics model (CPDM) and apply it to simulate inelastic fracture by using the meso-scale Xu-Needleman potential . By doing so, have successfully continuum mechanics with intrinsic stress/strain measures as well consistent built-in macro-scale constitutive relations. The main novelties of work are: (1) We shown that stress proposed nonlocal i...

Cohesive sets play an important role in computability theory. Here we use cohesive sets to build nonstandard versions of the rationals. We use Koenigsmann’s work on Hilbert’s Tenth Problem to establish that these nonstandard fields are rigid. As a consequence we obtain results about automorphisms of the lattices of computably enumerable vector spaces arising in the context of Ash’s conjecture.

We introduce a class of analytic sheaves in a Banach space X, that we shall call cohesive sheaves. Cohesion is meant to generalize the notion of coherence from finite dimensional analysis. Accordingly, we prove the analog of Cartan’s Theorems A and B for cohesive sheaves on pseudoconvex open subsets Ω ⊂ X, provided X has an unconditional basis.

Self-assembled monolayers (SAM) are aggregates of small molecular chains that have the property to form highly ordered assemblies. The presence of terminal groups on the constituent chains makes them excellent contenders of molecular level tailoring. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental observations of spallation have shown that cohesive strength of SAM-enriched molecular interf...

The advent of form-stable cohesive gel implants represents a significant device-related advance in the history of breast implants. Perhaps even more significant, however, are advances in the non–device-related process of breast augmentation itself, which have redefined the outcome and patient experience for this procedure.1 These refinements in breast augmentation technique have been particular...

Biofilms can be undesirable, as in those covering medical implants, and beneficial, such as when they are used for waste treatment. Because cohesive strength is a primary factor affecting the balance between growth and detachment, its quantification is essential in understanding, predicting, and modeling biofilm development. In this study, we developed a novel atomic force microscopy (AFM) meth...

Mediation of Cohesive Clues in Simultaneous Interpreting: A Perspective of Interactive Embodiment and Mental Coherence Gao Wei Heriot-Watt University Abstract Based on interactive embodiment and mental coherence of cognitive linguistics (CL) (Lakoff1987, 1999; Langacker 2000, Zwaan2000, Wang Yin 2006) and also Relevance Theory (RT) (Sperber and Wilson 1986, 1995), this paper aims to reveal how ...
