materials exhibit significant creep behavior at temperatures above 40% of their absolute melt temperature. lead, tin and their alloys are such materials which experience significant creep behavior in room temperature. one of the most important applications of the tin-lead alloys is soldering electronic circuits in electronic industry, and for lead are isolation walls and wet batteries. room tem...

Third-order bounds on the conductivity of a random stacking of cubes are constructed. Since a random stacking of cubes is a symmetric cell material the bounds are determined by a Miller parameter G J. (1969)] that is independent of volume fractions. We evaluate this parameter with a boundary integral technique to G = 0:1375164293203.

Correlation-based learning (CBL) has been suggested as the mechanism that underlies the development of simple-cell receptive fields in the primary visual cortex of cats, including orientation preference (OR) and ocular dominance (OD) (Linsker, 1986; Miller, Keller, & Stryker, 1989). CBL has been applied successfully to the development of OR and OD individually (Miller, Keller, & Stryker, 1989; ...

The celebrated Meyer-Miller mapping model has been a useful approach for generating practical trajectory-based nonadiabatic dynamics methods. It is generally assumed that the zero-point-energy (ZPE) parameter positive. constraint implied in conventional Hamiltonian an F-electronic-state system actually requires \gamma larger than -1/F ZPE each electronic degree of freedom. Both negative and pos...

This work aims to apply genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) to managing cash balance, comparing performance results between computational models and the Miller-Orr model. Thus, the paper proposes the application of computational evolutionary models to minimize the total cost of cash balance maintenance, obtaining the parameters for a cash management policy, using assum...

1 M H Miller: Incremental Parameter Feedback Formalism (Old Notes) Objective For design purposes a simplified approximate analysis of an electronic circuit often is a productive preliminary procedure. However even an approximate procedure preferably should rest on a reasonable theoretical foundation. This note presents the mathematical formalism for the feedback concept for linear systems (incl...

For structural components that operate at elevated temperatures, martensitic P91 steel is preferable. It widely used in steam generators the fossil-fired thermal and nuclear power generation sectors due to its creep endurance corrosion resistance. Several laws, such as Monkman-Grant, Theta project, Wilshire Sinh model, Omega technique, Larson Miller Parameter (LMP), have been developed over tim...

Dearraindrop is a five-member art collective based out of Virginia Beach, VA. The aim of our work is to create environments that submerge the participant in a sea of interrelated sound and visual elements. New York. We often perform at our shows with acoustic and electronic musical instruments we have created, reinforcing the link between the visual and auditory worlds. The installation include...

In both Pavlovian conditioning and human causal judgment, competition between cues is well known to occur when multiple cues are presented in compound and followed by an outcome. More questionable is the occurrence of competition between outcomes when a single cue is followed by multiple outcomes presented in compound. In the experiment reported here, we demonstrated blocking (a type of stimulu...
