in order to investigate the role of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) on fracture mechanism of epoxy nanocomposites, a series of tensile standard specimens reinforced with different carbon nanotube contents (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1 wt%) were produced. the fracture surfaces of the produced nanocomposites were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (sem). the results show that the surface frac...

In recent years, a record number of people have been forcibly displaced or migrated due to conflict. Whilst established political science research suggests that communities are an added risk factor for conflict their support extreme co-ethnic parties and movements, this has challenged by which shows migrants can be moderating force. We offer potential reconciliation these divergent findings dis...

[1] Latitudinal changes in topography, climate, and thrust belt geometry in the central Andes have led to conflicting hypotheses that climate or tectonics exert a first-order control on orogen evolution. The relative roles of climate and tectonics in the evolution of the Andean orogen are difficult to quantify because of a lack of detailed observations for both the long-term deformation and ero...

Next Generation Air Traac Management will allow for the possibility of free ight, in which each aircraft chooses its own optimal route, altitude and speed. In a free ight environment, the trajectories of several aircraft may be connicting, in which case aircraft may or may not cooperate in resolving the connict. This paper presents a method for noncooperative connict resolution in which each ai...
