The word length effect is one of the cornerstones of trace decay plus rehearsal models (TDR) of memory. Words of long spoken duration take longer to rehearse than words of short spoken duration and as such suffer more decay and are thus less well recalled. The current experiment manipulates both syllable length and spoken duration within words of fixed syllable length in an aim to test the assu...

in this paper attempts have been done to create a mortar with relatively high uniaxial compressive strength (ucs), easy casting, high flexibility, instant hardening, low cost and easy availability. the main use of this material is to physically model the mechanical behavior of jointed rock-like blocks. the effect of four parameters such as joint roughness coefficient (jrc), bridge length (l), b...

This document contains the proofs to the theorems of the original paper. Some lemmas are also introduced. Theorem 1. Let qδ ∈ LT S(LI , LU ∪ {δ}) be a valid suspension automaton. Then, there exists a labelled transition system q ∈ LT S(LI , LU ) such that Straces(q) = traces(qδ). Proof. Follows directly from Theorem 2 in [18]. u t Algorithm 1 Construct Hypothesis H Input: A closed and consisten...

We develop a new method for the determination of the absolute value of the magnetic field strength in coronal closed magnetic structures, based on the analysis of flare-generated oscillations of coronal loops. Interpretation of the oscillations observed in terms of global standing kink waves allows to connect the period of the oscillations and the loops length with the magnetic field strength i...

Horowitz [Hor1] showed that for every n ≥ 2, there exist elements w1, . . . , wn in F2 = free(a, b) which generate non-conjugate maximal cyclic subgroups of F2 and which have the property that trace(ρ(w1)) = · · · = trace(ρ(wn)) for all faithful representations ρ of F2 into SL2(C). Randol [Ran] used this result to show that the length spectrum of a hyperbolic surface has unbounded multiplicity....

A trace gas absorption sensor for formaldehyde (H2CO) detection was developed using a continuous wave, room temperature, low-power consumption interband cascade laser (ICL) at 3.6 μm. The recent availability of ICLs with wavelength ranged between 34 μm enables the sensitive detection of trace gases such as formaldehyde that possesses a strong absorption band in this particular wavelength regio...

Isospectrality of the planar domains which are obtained by successive unfolding of a fundamental building block is studied in relation to iso-length spectrality of the corresponding domains. Although an explicit and exact trace formula such as Poisson’s summation formula or Selberg’s trace formula is not known to exist for such planar domains, equivalence between isospectrality and iso-length s...

This paper discusses the static and fatigue behavior of adhesively bonded single lap joints in SMC-SMC composites. Effects of lap length and adhesive thickness on the static and fatigue strength of SMC-SMC adhesive joints are studied. Effects of SMC surface preparation and test speed on the joint performance are evaluated. Finally, the effect of water exposure on the joint durability is also in...
