Functional testing of SFF parts represents an exciting area of research in solid freeform fabrication. One approach to functional testing is to use similitude techniques to correlate the behavior of an SFF model and a product. Previous research at UT Austin has resulted in development of an empirical similitude technique to correlate the behavior of parts of dissimilar materials and geometry. A...

A similitude has been obtained for a planar wedge with attached bow shock at high incidence in supersonic flow. A strip theory in which flow at a span wise location is two dimensional developed by Ghosh is been used. This combines with the similitude to lead to a piston theory which gives closed form of solutions for unsteady derivatives in pitch. Substantially the same results as the theory of...

Let R be an associative ring with 1 and R the multiplicative group of invertible elements of R. In the paper, subgroups of R which may be regarded as analogues of the similitude group of a non-degenerate sesquilinear reflexive form and of the isometry group of such a form are defined in an abstract way. The main result states that a unipotent abstractly defined similitude must belong to the cor...

OBJECTIVES to analyze and compare the incorporation of the ethical-doctrinal and organizational principles into the social representations of the Unified Health System (SUS) among health professionals. METHOD a study grounded in Social Representations Theory, undertaken with 125 subjects, in eight health institutions in Rio de Janeiro. The free word association technique was applied to the in...

O. Dans la pr~sente &ude nous essayons de rdsoudre un probl~me particulier de la description phonologique et de montrer sur cet exemple l'une des approches possibles de ce probl~me qui se pose assez souvent quand il s'agit de formaliser la description linguistique. Ce probl~me peut &re r6sum~ de la fa~on suivante: admettons que n'ous nous trouvons en prdsence d'un ensemble d'unitds linguistique...
