The addition of fillers can significantly improve the mechanical behavior polymers. responsible mechanisms at molecular level be well assessed by particle-based simulation techniques, such as dynamics. However, high computational cost these simulations prevents study macroscopic samples. Continuum-based approaches, particularly micromechanics, offer a more efficient alternative but require prec...

Entity Recognition (ER) is a key component of relation extraction systems and many other natural-language processing applications. Unfortunately, most ER are restricted to produce labels from small set entity classes, e.g., person, organization, location or miscellaneous. In order intelligently understand text extract wide range information, it useful more precisely determine the semantic class...

There is a trend towards multicore or manycore processors in computer architecture design. In addition, several parallel programming models have been introduced. Some extract concurrent threads implicitly whenever possible, resulting in fine grained threads. Others construct threads by explicit user specifications in the program, resulting in coarse grained threads. How these two mechanisms imp...

Introduction: Phyllosilicate minerals are present in many primitive meteorite classes including CI, CM, and CV carbonaceouschondrites and type-3 ordinary chondrites [1-4]. Their origin has been a scientific puzzle for many years. Thermochemical equilibrium calculations show that serpentine, a phyllosilicate mineral that is abundant in the CM chondrites, is stable below 225 K in the canonical so...

ABSRACT A comparative study of the surface microstructural changes after fatigue in an ultrafine grained and coarse grained aluminum alloy was performed using orientation imaging microscopy (OIM). The fraction of low angle boundaries with misorientation less than 2.5 ̊ increased for both the coarse and ultrafine grained alloys. A consistent decrease in the fraction of low angle boundaries, with ...
