In this work, the influence of crystallographic texture on mechanical properties was investigated by X-ray diffraction in the superelastic Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn alloy. Different textures were obtained by changing the cold rolling reduction rate and the following thermal treatment (solution treatment or flash thermal treatment). The tensile tests performed show that Young’s modulus, elongation at rupt...

This paper considers the problem of decomposing an image defined on a manifold into a structural component and a textural component. We formulate such decomposition as a variational problem, in which the total variation energy is used for extracting the structural part and based on the properties of texture one of three norms, L, L and G, is used in the fidelity term for the textural part. Whil...

The primate orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a site of convergence from primary taste, olfactory, and somatosensory cortical areas. We describe the responses of a population of single neurons in the OFC that respond to orally applied fat (e.g., safflower oil) and to substances with a similar texture but different chemical composition, such as mineral oil (hydrocarbon) and silicone oil [(Si(CH3)2O)...

Aaron M. Griffith Identifying plausible truthmakers for negative truths has been a serious and perennial problem for truthmaker theory. I argue here that negative truths (in particular contingent negative existential truths) are indeed made true but not in the way that positive truths are. I rely on a distinction between “existence-independence” and “variation-independence” drawn by Hofmann and...
