To assess the suitability of different packaging steels for complex deep drawing applications, nowadays, total elongation and Lankford coefficients in simple tensile tests are used. However, use uniaxial is not supposed to predict limiting ratio precisely thus applications. At same time, conduction experiments extensive requires a high testing effort. Therefore, this work, correlation between f...

A map is at the same time a group. To represent a map (that is, a graph drawn on the sphere or on another surface) we usually use a pair of permutations on the set of the \ends" of edges. These permutations generate a group which we call a cartographic group. The main motivation for the study of the cartographic group is the so-called theory of \dessins d'enfants" of Grothendieck, which relates...

Pictures of the G2(2) hexagon and its dual are presented. A way to obtain these pictures is discussed. 1. Introduction This paper presents pictures of the two classical generalised hexagons over the eld with two elements. Information on these generalised hexagons is employed so that the pictures make some properties of these hexagons obvious. Familiarity with the theory of generalised polygons ...

Recent terrorist attacks carried out on behalf of ISIS on American and European soil by lone wolf attackers or sleeper cells remind us of the importance of understanding the dynamics of radicalization mediated by social media communication channels. In this paper, we shed light on the social media activity of a group of twenty-five thousand users whose association with ISIS online radical propa...

In this paper, we present a new shadow mapping technique that improves upon the quality of perspective and uniform shadow maps. Our technique uses a perspective transform specified in light space which allows treating all lights as directional lights and does not change the direction of the light sources. This gives all the benefits of the perspective mapping but avoids the problems inherent in...

We tend to assume that progress in answering the ‘hard question’ of consciousness will be accompanied by a subjective feeling of greater understanding. However, in order to feel we understand how one state of affairs arises from another, we have to deceive ourselves into thinking we have found a type of causal link which in reality may not exist (Rosch, 1994). I draw from and expand upon Rosch’...
