Fatigue crack growth under large-scale yielding condition is studied for high-temperature loading. The applied strains are so important that diffuse damage phenomena visible as a network of micro-cracks in front the major crack. survey macroscopic cracked surface nevertheless possible, and numerical simulations with explicit representation this carried out to evaluate driving forces. proposed s...

Three experiments tested whether the Implicit Association Test (IAT) reflects general knowledge, or whether it is sensitive to personally endorsed attitudes. In Experiment 1, participants learned to associate positive or negative attributes with two novel groups. Participants in one condition were told that the attributes accurately described the groups; in a second condition, they were told th...

Recently it was shown that the ratio between the normwise Toeplitz structured condition number of a linear system and the general unstructured condition number has a finite lower bound. However, the bound was not explicit, and nothing was known about the quality of the bound. In this note we derive an explicit lower bound only depending on the dimension n, and we show that this bound is almost ...

Acquiring novel speech categories is necessary in spoken language learning. The dual-learning systems (DLS) approach posits that two competitive systems underlie the category learning process: an explicit hypothesis-testing system, and an implicit procedural system. DLS assumes that the explicit system dominates early and control is passed to the implicit system when optimal. Evidence from our ...

Observation of others' actions evokes in primary motor cortex and spinal circuits of observers a subliminal motor resonance response, which reflects the motor program encoding observed actions. We investigated the role of attention in human motor resonance with four experimental conditions, explored in different subject groups: in the first explicit condition, subjects were asked to observe a r...

In this paper we consider the separate coding problem for L + 1 correlated Gaussian memoryless sources. We deal with the case where L separately encoded data of sources work as side information at the decoder for the reconstruction of the remaining source. The determination problem of the rate distortion region for this system is the so called many-help-one problem and has been known as a highl...

Two studies used an illusory correlation procedure to test whether distinct implicit and explicit evaluations can result from the same learning episode. All participants learned twice as much about the qualities of one group (majority) than another (minority). In one condition, the ratio of positive to negative information was equal between groups. In other conditions, the majority group showed...

This study investigated the amount of incidental vocabulary learning through comprehension-focused reading of short stories and explicit instruction to this goal.  Forty male high school students were selected randomly, and divided into two groups of twenty.  One group of these students was given five 400-word-level short stories to read with the purpose of comprehension, and the students in th...

There are many problems in the field of science, engineering and technology which can be solved by differential equations formulation. The wave equation is a second order linear hyperbolic partial that describes propagation variety waves, such as sound or water waves. In this paper we consider convergence analysis explicit schemes for solving one dimensional, time-dependent with Drichlet Neuman...
