The effectiveness of residential substance abuse treatment for women was examined using data from the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment’s Residential Women and Children/Pregnant and Postpartum Women (RWC/PPW) Cross-Site Study and two other recent national This study was supported under contract 270-97-7030 from the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Substance Abuse and Mental Healt...

The evolution of microstructure and texture during isochronal annealing of a heavily cold rolled Al–0.3% Cu alloy has been characterized using electron backscatter diffraction. It is found that the rolling texture of this alloy is dominated by the Brass component and that recrystallization during annealing leads to the formation of a pronounced Goss texture. It is suggested that the development...

Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a ‘newer technology utilized to machine hard metals, alloys, composites and ceramics. This paper reports the experimental investigation carried out on EDM to study the effects of machining parameters such as pulsed current on material removal rate, depth of cut, overcut, tool wear (net weight lost) and hardness on En-31 tool steel The work material was elec...

The Functional Transformation Method (FTM) is an established method for sound synthesis by physical modeling, which has proven its feasibility so far by the application to strings and membranes. Based on integral transformations, it provides a discrete solution for continuous physical problems given in form of initialboundary-value problems. This paper extends the range of applications of the F...

Demand for lead-free, free-cutting brass is increasing in response to lead regulations Europe. The authors of this paper have attempted develop a lead-free with an α + β two-phase microstructure, which different from existing C6932 alloy. As result basic investigations, it was found that the addition Si β-brass dramatically reduces cutting resistance due effect appears be reduction stacking def...

A frequency-domain numerical model of brass instrument sound production is proposed as a tool to predict their brassiness, defined as the rate of spectral enrichment with increasing dynamic level. It is based on generalized Burger's equations dedicated to weakly nonlinear wave propagation in nonuniform ducts, and is an extension of previous work by Menguy and Gilbert [Acta Acustica 86, 798-810 ...

"This paper contains an application of the orphanhood method for estimating adult mortality, based on information provided during the period 1888-1910 by the brides and bridegrooms of six parishes of the Central Valley of Costa Rica.... Using the Brass technique for estimating adult mortality from orphanhood and interpolating the resulting probabilities of surviving into... Coale and Demeny's r...

Demonstrations provide a descriptive medium for specifying robotic tasks. Prior work has shown that robots can acquire a range of complex skills through demonstration, such as table tennis (Mülling et al., 2013), lane following (Pomerleau, 1989), pouring water (Pastor et al., 2009), drawer opening (Rana et al., 2017), and multi-stage manipulation tasks (Zhang et al., 2018). However, the most ef...
