This study tested the generalizability of the consistency effect to real-world settings. The consistency effect refers to the finding that items inconsistent with expectations are better recalled and recognized than items consistent with expectations. In two experiments, subjects walked into a graduate student's office or a preschool classroom. Half of the items in each setting were consistent ...

In this study, the high strain rate deformation behavior and the microstructure evolution of Zr-Cu-Al-Ni metallic glasses under various strain rates were investigated. The influence of strain and strain rate on the mechanical properties and fracture behavior, as well as microstructural properties was also investigated. Before mechanical testing, the structure and thermal stability of the Zr-Cu-...

Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and silicone adhesives are widely used in electronics manufacturing. The integrity of the adhesion between the two materials is crucial to the reliability of electronic products, however, the adhesion mechanism and associated reliability has not been thoroughly understood. In this paper, the adhesion mechanism between a commonly used LCP and a silicone adhesive is e...

Multi-site testing is a technique where a large number of dies are tested in parallel to increase silicon test throughput. The stimuli is stored on the tester and applied concurrently to all the dies on the test board and compared against the response data. To achieve multi-site testing of 16X, 32X, 64X, or 128X, the number of tester-contacted pins must be very low. The overall tester data and ...

The problem of testing monotonicity of a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} has received much attention recently. Denoting the proximity parameter by ε, the best tester is the non-adaptive Õ( √ n/ε) tester of Khot-Minzer-Safra (FOCS 2015). Let I(f) denote the total influence of f . We give an adaptive tester whose running time is I(f)poly(ε logn).

1. Presenting lower and upper bounds on the complexity of testing Bipartitness; specifically, we present a poly(1/ǫ) · Õ( √ k)-time tester, and an Ω √ k) lower bound on the query complexity of any tester for Bipartitness. 2. Reviewing a quasi-poly(1/ǫ)-time tester for Planarity. The result extends to testing any minor-closed property (i.e., a graph property that is preserved under the omission ...

It is adaptive to remember animates, particularly animate agents, because they play an important role in survival and reproduction. Yet, surprisingly, the role of animacy in mnemonic processing has received little direct attention in the literature. In two experiments, participants were presented with pronounceable nonwords and properties characteristic of either living (animate) or nonliving (...

Utilization of agricultural waste can be done by converting it with conventional fuels to energy. For this purpose, is necessary understand the properties and its mixture fossil important for storage conversion. The objective work was examine influence moisture content composition hard coal mixtures on mechanical rheological waste. materials tested were powdered biomass: dried distillers grains...

With the development in egocentric vision, skill measurement has been recently proposed as a novel topic in this emerging field. In this report, we record the the experimenter’s first-person videos in Wet labratories (wetlab), and measure his/her operative skills. Specifically, given the videos of expert and amateur, we analyze their head motions, hands motions, eye-hand coordinations and key-m...
