the aim of the present paper is to sbo» that anti-realism in science, 1vhich has a1;guab/y become more fashionable in recentyears, contrary to tuha: its proponents assert, cannot make use of quantum mechanics and its impressiue achievements as a frump card in justifying its claims. i will argue that scientific anti-realism far from providing scientific communiry with a progressive methodologica...

background: considering the importance and prevalence of obesity and the desire to lose weight, especially among women, this study intended to investigate the relationship between body mass index, body satisfaction, and weight control behavior among women employees in isfahan. methods: an analytical cross‑sectional study was conducted among 408 women who were selected by stratified random sampl...

The fast-start escape response is a rapid, powerful body motion used to generate high accelerations of the body in virtually all fishes. Although the neurobiology and behavior of the fast-start are often studied, the patterns of muscle activity and muscle force production during escape are less well understood. We studied the fast-starts of two basal actinopterygian fishes (Amia calva and Polyp...

In this work, we bridge standard adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening on scalable octree background meshes robust unfitted finite element formulations for the automatic efficient solution of large-scale nonlinear solid mechanics problems posed complex geometries, as an alternative to body-fitted formulations, unstructured generation graph partitioning strategies. We pay special attention tho...

1. Abstract This paper is aimed at minimizing the bending moment which caused in curved surface structures. The dimension of structure weight is three, and the material strength dimension is two. Therefore, the bigger the structure scale is, the more bearing capacity will be occupied by initial stress caused by dead load. Thus, with the growing of span, structural form will be greatly restricte...

A body of theory is completely different between relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Most targeting physical phenomena are dif-

Identification of the deformation mechanisms and specific components underlying the mechanical function of biological tissues requires mechanical testing at multiple levels within the tissue hierarchical structure. Dichlorotriazinylaminofluorescein (DTAF) is a fluorescent dye that is used to visualize microscale deformations of the extracellular matrix in soft collagenous tissues. However, the ...

The problem of the two-body gravitational interaction has been solved numerically based on classical mechanics principles. One bodies is a deformable three-axis ellipsoid (central body) and other material point (satellite). relationship angular discrepancy between calculated actual positions satellite pericenter with central body's gravity anomaly established.

In the current research, a three-dimensional finite element model was considered to predict the mechanical behavior of Single Wall (SWCNTs) and Multi Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs). Assuming the nonlinear elastic behavior of C-C bond in large strains, hyperelastic models were considered. Literature review revealed that the material parameters of the hyperelastic models have been determined from...

The Minority Game is a simple model for the collective behavior of agents in an idealized situation where they have to compete through adaptation for a finite resource. This review summarizes the statistical mechanics community efforts to clear up and understand the behavior of this model. Our emphasis is on trying to derive the underlying effective equations which govern the dynamics of the or...
