Abstract In this report, an approach is presented how a geometric penetration calculation can be combined with FE simulations to multiscale model, which allows efficient determination of the thermomechanical load in gear hobbing. linear-orthogonal cut are used derive approximate equations for calculating cutting force and rake face temperature. The hobbing process then simulated uncut chip geom...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent advances in spinal cord imaging analysis have led to the development of a robust anatomic template and atlas incorporated into an open-source platform referred to as the Spinal Cord Toolbox. Using the Spinal Cord Toolbox, we sought to correlate measures of GM, WM, and cross-sectional area pathology on T2 MR imaging with motor disability in patients with acute flacc...

Abstract Some studies indicate differences in self-regulatory behaviors of infants, depending on their gestational age. This paper aimed to compare interactive full-term and preterm infants the Face-to-Face Still-Face (FFSF) paradigm. Thirty prematurely born thirty were observed FFSF’s experimental procedure, which consists exposing infant two episodes interaction with mother plus another episo...

Most Irish traditional folk dance music contains two musical themes; the tune begins with one musical theme which is usually repeated, then progresses to another theme with similar musical structure and motives, which is usually also repeated. The first section is typically called the A section while the second is called the B section. Our goal is to understand, at a quantitative level, the mus...

We theoretically study the optical performance of a layered nanoparticle with a sandwiched gain shell. Based on quasi-static analysis and full-wave numerical simulations, we show that it is possible to achieve a very high scattering cross-section (over 4 orders) accompanied with a negative absorption cross-section by changing the amount of gain in the sandwiched shell layer. This suggests that ...

The Perturbative QCD Potential and the t ¯ t Threshold Abstract We include the full second-order corrections to the static QCD potential in the analysis of the t ¯ t threshold cross section. There is an unexpectedly large difference between the QCD potential improved by the renormalization-group equation in momentum space and the potential improved by the renormalization-group equation in coord...

We present the program Top++ for the numerical evaluation of the total inclusive cross-section for producing top quark pairs at hadron colliders. The program calculates the cross-section in a) fixed order approach with exact next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) accuracy and b) by including soft-gluon resummation for the hadronic cross-section in Mellin space with full next-to-next-to-leading lo...
