A discourse typically involves numerous entities, but few are mentioned more than once. Distinguishing discourse entities that die out after just one mention (singletons) from those that lead longer lives (coreferent) would benefit NLP applications such as coreference resolution, protagonist identification, topic modeling, and discourse coherence. We build a logistic regression model for predic...

Wrinkling and fracture are the important defects in deep drawing operation, which can be prevented using blank holding force (BHF) which has to be optimized as lower BHF promotes wrinkles formation and higher BHF promotes fracturing. Hence the limits of wrinkling and fracture have to be established. These limits depend on various tooling and process parameters. In this work the effect of toolin...

Sign languages are visual languages. Signers place signs in space to represent both concrete and abstract meaning, drawing on literal and metaphorical uses of space. This paper considers the ways that four sign language poems use space metaphorically in the exploration of the poets’ identities as Deaf people. Signs placed across the sagittal, vertical and transverse axes are used to signal diff...

Deformation of the material during cyclic expansion extrusion (CEE) is investigated using upper-bound theorem. The analytical approximation of forming loads agrees very well with the FEM results for different amounts of chamber diameter, friction factor and also for lower die angles. However, the difference between analytical and numerical solution increases at higher die angles which are expla...

In this article, a mathematical model has been developed for calculating the energy-power parameters of drawing process in monolithic dies on straight-line machines, and its adequacy validated experimental wire laboratory automated machine. The program allows us to calculate stress, force, tensile strength yield alloy after drawing, safety factor, power. differs that it evaluate uniformity defo...
