In their recently published textbook on cognitive psychology, Ashcraft and Radvansky (2010) described attention as “one of cognitive psychology’s most important topics and one of our oldest puzzles.” Whether we examine human attention in the context of driving an automobile, completing a workplace task, or engaging in educational and recreational activities, the importance of attention processe...

MTMoCr is a kind of Mo-Cr alloy cast iron often used to make automobile panel dies. To study high-speed machining process of automobile panel dies, the material’s elastic modulus and rupture critical values of MTMoCr at 20 -800 were studied based on the high temperature elongation test. The material’s stress-strain diagram at various temperatures set-points (20 -500 ) and various strain-rates (...

Walking being the oldest form of urban transport, and until the advent of major transformationsin transport technology in the nineteenth century, most cities were structured in ways that supported walkability.Today, there is a change in transportation which emphasizes, the traditional pedestrian paths which are increasinglybecoming non-regulated spaces when compared to the urban spaces for auto...

Octane-enhancing constituents of gasoline pose a number of health hazards. This paper considers the relative risks of metallic (lead, manganese), aromatic (e.g., benzene), and oxygenated additives in both industrialized and developing countries. Technological advances, particularly in industrialized countries, have allowed the progressive removal of lead from gasoline and the increased control ...

Textures in the hexagonal metals have attracted significant interest over the years because of the use of some hexagonal metals and alloys, e.g. Zircaloy cladding for nuclear reactor fuels, Ti alloys for aerospace and aircraft industry, and Mg alloys for automobile and computer, communication and consumer electronic (3C) appliances. From a mechanistic point of view, hexagonal metals are differe...

Currently, from the statistical analysis of accidents at home and abroad, the number of automobile defects and the resulting automobile accidents are very large. Obviously, the automobile defects have become one of the main factors affecting traffic safety, and risk assessment as an automobile key technical defect of risk management, the elimination of defects and reduce automobile accidents ar...
