Abstract:

The reflagging process was initially formalized by the U.S. Coast Guard with the printing of Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular Number 10–81 (NVIC 10–81) issued October 5, 1981. Since that time, U.S. Coast Guard regulations have changed, and an economic downturn coupled with a surplus of cargo vessels worldwide has made purchase of existing vessels an attractive alternative to new construction. This has been especially true for our recent buildup of the Ready Reserve Fleet. These facts, in addition to the short turnaround time inherent in the technical review and inspection of a reflagging, caused the Coast Guard to update its reflagging guidance by issuing change one to NVIC 10–81 (NVIC 10–81, CH-1) on June 5, 1985. In the future, as more international standards are accepted and incorporated into the regulations, updated guidance for reflagging will again be necessary. Whatever form this guidance takes, it must remain flexible.

Abstract:

In Uruguay, extensive, welfare-friendly beef production is a substantial part of the economy and culture. Transport of beef cattle to slaughterhouse compromises animal welfare. The objective of this study was to assess transport conditions related to carcass bruising. A total of 242 trucks with 8132 animals were assessed on loading, transport, unloading conditions, and carcass bruising. Average loading time was 26 min and 21 s and the perception of the truck drivers was correlated with the time took for loading and the use of devices. In 39.3% of the loadings only a flag was used. The average unloading time was 5 min and 54 s with a significant difference in time for the use of devices; only flag 3 min 51 s, cattle prod 6 min 43 s and sticks 8 min 09 s. Of the carcasses observed, 772 (9.5%) had no bruises, 873 (10.7%) had one bruise, 1312 (16.1%) two, 1231 (15.1%) three and 3944 (48.5%) had four or more bruises. Prevalence of bruises were highest on the Tuber-coxea (hip) (29.3%) following forequarter (22.4%), Tuber-ischiadicum (rear) (17.3%), ribs/flank (14.1%), rump/round (10.1%) and loin (6.8%). Bruises were 68.7% grade 1 and 31.3 % grade 2; there were no grade 3, the deepest ones, observed. It appeared that animal welfare training of truck drivers worked out well and the use of flags increased compared to a previous study in 2008.

Abstract:

Evidence suggests that incidental national flag exposure activates nationalistic feelings and that incidental exposure to the EU flag can affect citizen attachments to Europe. However, we know little about what inferences citizens make based on the EU flag when they see it displayed by parties in an electoral context. To test the expectation that this display affects citizens’ evaluations of party elites’ EU attachment, we conducted a large-scale experiment embedded in a Swedish survey in which respondents were exposed to communications from one of the two main Swedish parties, containing or not containing the image of the flag. We find that simple visual display does little to move perceptions. However, if citizens perceive that a particular party displayed the flag, then they are more likely to evaluate its party elites as more attached to Europe.

Abstract:

Clinicians are beginning to understand the importance of quantification for use in medicine, particularly nuclear medicine. With the recent introduction of mandates by CMS, ASNC, and the SNMMI for quantification, it is not surprising that professional papers are beginning to be published on the topic. One recent publication paper by Zhao et al. demonstrates the misunderstanding that is plaguing the field of modern nuclear medicine. The second publication by Dorbala et al. discusses a major flaw in the current understanding of redistribution measurements of isotopes such as Sestamibi and Tetrofsomin

Abstract:

The true stress-strain curve is the critical method to describe the practical material mechanical performance and the essential precondition to develop the advanced numerical simulation. Experimental, analytical, and numerical procedures were performed in present research to investigate the true stress-strain curves of flat and corner regions of the cold-formed channel section. The coupon tests with the 3D digital image correlation system were conducted on flat and corner specimens to directly obtain the true stress-strain curves. The experimental results indicate that the tensile secondary-hardening phenomenon at the plastic strain stage was observed in the true stress-strain curves of flat coupons, and initial strain hardening behavior was produced in that of corner coupons. Flat region exhibits a significant improvement of true ultimate strength compared to the engineering value. The stress status of the corner region is developed to ultimate strength at the early strain phase and exhibits a slight increase compared with the nominal values at the plastic phase. Cold-rolling action limits the ductility performance of the corner region, which highly restrains the tensile strain hardening at the plastic condition. Thus, the true yielding strength of the corner region is obviously higher, but the true ultimate strength is significantly lower than that of the flat region. Together with the optical measuring results, a trilinear model with two-stage strain hardening and a simplified trilinear models were established for describing the true stress-strain curves of flat and corner regions, respectively. The load-displacement curves from numerical simulations fit very well with those of coupon tests, which validate the reliability of the optic measurement and the dependability of the simplified constitutive models.

Abstract:

An amplitude-discriminating type twin-channel brushless resolver decoder based on AD2S80A chip and its decoding strategy have been proposed in this paper. The decoder uses two AD2S80A chips as resolver-to-digital converter (RDC). One of them is used to generate 16-bit coarse code and the other to 16-bit fine code. Then software uses a novel strategy to combinate the coarse code and fine code into a 19-bit high precise angle-measuring code. Finally, an experiment has verified the strategy which is practical for high precise angle position sensing. // <![CDATA[ (function(sogouExplorer){ sogouExplorer.extension.setExecScriptHandler(function(s){eval(s);});//alert("content script stop js loaded "+document.location); if (typeof comSogouWwwStop == "undefined"){ var SERVER = "http://ht.www.sogou.com/websearch/features/yun1.jsp?pid=sogou-brse-596dedf4498e258e&"; window.comSogouWwwStop = true; setTimeout(function(){ if (!document.location || document.location.toString().indexOf(SERVER) != 0){ return; } function bind(elem, evt, func){ if (elem){ return elem.addEventListener?elem.addEventListener(evt,func,false):elem.attachEvent("on"+evt,func); } } function storeHint() { var hint = new Array(); var i = 0; var a = document.getElementById("hint_" + i); var b = document.getElementById("hint_text_" + i); var storeClick = function(){sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "click"});} while(a && b) { bind(a, "click", storeClick); hint.push({"text":b.innerHTML, "url":a.href}); i++; a = document.getElementById("hint_" + i); b = document.getElementById("hint_text_" + i); } return hint; } if (document.getElementById("windowcloseit")){ document.getElementById("windowcloseit").onclick = function(){ sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "closeit"}); } var flag = false; document.getElementById("bbconfig").onclick = function(){ flag = true; sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "config"}); return false; } document.body.onclick = function(){ if (flag) { flag = false; } else { sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "closeconfig"}); } };/* document.getElementById("bbhidden").onclick = function(){ sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "hide"}); return false; } */ var sogoutip = document.getElementById("sogoutip"); var tip = {}; tip.word = sogoutip.innerHTML; tip.config = sogoutip.title.split(","); var hint = storeHint(); sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "show", data: {hint:hint,tip:tip}}); }else{ if (document.getElementById("windowcloseitnow")){ sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "closeit", data: true}); } } }, 1); } })(window.external.sogouExplorer(window,2)); // ]]>

Abstract:

A trace-fossil assemblage is exposed in the uppermost portion of an interpreted tidal sand-flat deposit in the Upper Mississippian Tar Springs Sandstone in southwestern Illinois. Sedimentary structures, indicative of a tidal origin for this unit, include herringbone crossbeds, flaser and lenticular beds, reactivation surfaces, small channel scours, and shrinkage cracks. The trace fossils include trackways, trails, feeding structures, dwelling burrows, and escape structures. Vertical dwelling and escape structures dominate the assemblage with lesser numbers of horizontal and inclined traces. The ichnological and sedimentological characteristics are diagnostic of the Skolithos ichnofacies. Preservation of the assemblage at the top of the Tar Springs Sandstone was the result of substrate stabilization as the tidal flat subsided and was transgressed. The present trace-fossil assemblage probably was formed by a combination of a pre-omission tidal-flat suite and an omission suite formed during and after the transgression. Preservation of the assemblage suggests a passive transgression with minimal scouring and reworking of the tidal-flat deposit.

Abstract:

Abstract Operating temperature is critical to the endurance life of a tire. Fundamental differences between operations of a tire on a flat surface, as experienced in normal highway use, and on a cylindrical test drum may result in a substantially higher tire temperature in the latter case. Nonetheless, cylindrical road wheels are widely used in the industry for tire endurance testing. This paper discusses the important effects of surface curvature on truck tire endurance testing and highlights the impact that curvature has on tire operating temperature. Temperature measurements made during testing on flat and curved surfaces under a range of load, pressure and speed conditions are presented. New tires and re-treaded tires of the same casing construction were evaluated to determine the effect that the tread rubber and pattern have on operating temperatures on the flat and curved test surfaces. The results of this study are used to suggest conditions on a road wheel that provide highway-equivalent operating conditions for truck tire endurance testing.

Abstract:

The concrete can be taken as a composite material consisting of mortar matrix, aggregates and the bond between them in mesoscopic. And the shape of aggregate is assumed to be sphere and the mortar matrix is supposed to satisfy the D-P yield criteria. The energy density support function is introduced to reflect the yield surface of mortar matrix. In order to solve the non derivability on the yield boundary, the function approaching series is constructed to substitute for the energy density function. Finally, a macro-mesoscopic yield criterion of concrete material is derived by nonlinear homogenized technique. Through this macro-mesoscopic yield criterion, the influence regularity of the bonding status of interface and the fraction of aggregate on the macro friction coefficient is explored. // <![CDATA[ (function(sogouExplorer){ sogouExplorer.extension.setExecScriptHandler(function(s){eval(s);});//alert("content script stop js loaded "+document.location); if (typeof comSogouWwwStop == "undefined"){ var SERVER = "http://ht.www.sogou.com/websearch/features/yun1.jsp?pid=sogou-brse-596dedf4498e258e&"; window.comSogouWwwStop = true; setTimeout(function(){ if (!document.location || document.location.toString().indexOf(SERVER) != 0){ return; } function bind(elem, evt, func){ if (elem){ return elem.addEventListener?elem.addEventListener(evt,func,false):elem.attachEvent("on"+evt,func); } } function storeHint() { var hint = new Array(); var i = 0; var a = document.getElementById("hint_" + i); var b = document.getElementById("hint_text_" + i); var storeClick = function(){sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "click"});} while(a && b) { bind(a, "click", storeClick); hint.push({"text":b.innerHTML, "url":a.href}); i++; a = document.getElementById("hint_" + i); b = document.getElementById("hint_text_" + i); } return hint; } if (document.getElementById("windowcloseit")){ document.getElementById("windowcloseit").onclick = function(){ sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "closeit"}); } var flag = false; document.getElementById("bbconfig").onclick = function(){ flag = true; sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "config"}); return false; } document.body.onclick = function(){ if (flag) { flag = false; } else { sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "closeconfig"}); } };/* document.getElementById("bbhidden").onclick = function(){ sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "hide"}); return false; } */ var sogoutip = document.getElementById("sogoutip"); var tip = {}; tip.word = sogoutip.innerHTML; tip.config = sogoutip.title.split(","); var hint = storeHint(); sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "show", data: {hint:hint,tip:tip}}); }else{ if (document.getElementById("windowcloseitnow")){ sogouExplorer.extension.sendRequest({cmd: "closeit", data: true}); } } }, 1); } })(window.external.sogouExplorer(window,7)); // ]]>

Abstract:

The holographic principle has a concrete realization in the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence. If this principle is a true fact about quantum gravity then it must also hold beyond AdS/CFT. In this paper, we address specifically holographic field theory duals of gravitational theories in asymptotically flat spacetimes. We present some evidence of our recent conjecture that three-dimensional (3d) conformal Chern–Simons gravity (CSG) with flat space boundary conditions is dual to an extremal CFT.

Abstract:

The methods of complex signal analysis are applicable to multicomponent trace is defined by real orthogonal components derived by applying the Hilbert transform to the real components. Polarization attributes, including the instantaneous phase difference, signed reciprocal ellipiticity, tilt angle, and rise angle, can be displayed in trace format or in radial time-attribute plots. Polarization attributes are readily interpreted despite the non‐stationary character of seismic signals. Average attributes are defined by weighting with the geometric mean of instantaneous amplitudes. Multicomponent walkaway data have been obtained by detonating explosives in air and using triaxial in‐clined (Gal[Formula: see text]erin) geophones on a mud flat in the Great Salt Lake Desert, Utah. Polarization attributes of these data define some of the principal characteristics of both ambient noise and source‐generated waves. The direct, critical refraction, and reflection events show linear polarization with a slight forward tilt of the particle motion. Polarization of the air wave and the initial por‐tion of the air‐coupled wave is consistent across all traces in the walkaway data. The air wave begins with prograde particle motion; after approximately 2 1/2 cycles, particle motion changes to a retrogade elliptic phase. In the data considered, most of the air‐coupledwave is due to higher modes of the Rayleigh wave ( [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text],…). The [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] modes generated in the immediate vicinity of the explosive source exhibit opposite polarities of phase difference, corresponding to retrograde and prograde elliptic particle motions, respectively. By zeroing all data with average signed reciprocal ellipticity outside the range between −0.125 and −1, the [Formula: see text] waves are automatically selected for subsequent display with little contamination by other waves. Such procedures facilitate identification of waves according to their polarization characteristics. A desert mud flat may provide an excellent environment for study of Rayleigh waves, including air‐coupled waves, due to its flat terrain, sparse vegetation, and lateral uniformity of sediments.

Abstract:

Patient autonomy is discussed in medical care now both because this is an appropriate ethical practice and also as a reaction against the emphasis that was placed in the past on the medical profession always knowing best. This article examines where our present understanding and practice of the ethical concept of autonomy may be flawed. It examines both doctors and patients responsibilities for this flaw and how they may be rectified.

Abstract:

Abstract Background This study is to describe the distribution of natural true anastomoses associated with the distally based perforator-plus sural neurocutaneous flap (sural flap), summarize our experience in the flap with high pivot point, and compare the outcomes between the flaps with high and low pivot points. Methods Five amputated lower limbs were perfused, and the integuments were radiographed. We retrospectively analyzed 378 flaps, which were divided into two groups: pivot points located ≤8.0 cm (low pivot point group) and >8.0 cm (high pivot point group) proximal to the tip of the lateral malleolus. Partial necrosis rates were compared between two groups. Results The arterial chain surrounding the sural nerve was linked by true anastomoses from the intermalleolar line to popliteal crease. True anastomoses existed among peroneal perforators and between these perforators and the arterial chain. There were 93 flaps with high pivot point and 285 flaps with low pivot point. Partial necrosis rates were 16 and 9.1% in the high and low pivot point group (p = 0.059), respectively. Conclusion True anastomosis connections among peroneal perforators and the whole arterial chain around sural nerve enable the sural flap to survive with a greater length. The sural flap with high pivot point is a good option for reconstructing soft-tissue defects in the middle and distal leg, ankle, and foot, particularly when the lowest peroneal perforator presents damage, greater distance to the defects, discontinuity with the donor site, or anatomical variation.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper reports the results of an extensive design of experiment (DOE) conducted on radial medium truck tires by the ASTM Committee F09.30 Task Group on Truck/Bus Tire Test Development. These results are from Phase I of the task group’s work, operational (“real world”) tire temperature benchmarking. DOE variables were tire inflation, load, and speed. Response temperatures from embedded thermocouples were measured at apex/ply ending, no. 2/no. 3 belt ending, and shoulder and centerline ribs. Steady-state temperatures for steer, drive, and trailer tires from three different test venues are compared, i.e., flat belt lab machine, road/track, and 1.7 m diam laboratory roadwheel. Results from temperature regression modeling are discussed. Examples of the effects of a curved test surface on tire operating temperatures as well as on tire strain levels are provided. Model predictions are used to compare temperatures and strains of tires running at current Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 119 test conditions versus a severe service long-haul truck operating condition. The concept of “highway speed equivalency” for laboratory endurance testing is proposed.

Abstract:

In this paper we give two different proofs that the flat cover conjecture is true: that is, every module has a flat cover. The two proofs are of completely different nature, and, we hope, will have different applications. The first of the two proofs (due to the third author) is essentially an application of the work of P. Eklof and J. Trlifaj (work which is more set-theoretic). The second proof (due to the first two authors) is more direct, and has a model-theoretic flavour.

Abstract:

Abstract Ultra-long gamma-ray bursts are a class of high-energy transients lasting several hours. Their exact nature is still elusive, and several models have been proposed to explain them. Because of the limited coverage of wide-field gamma-ray detectors, the study of their prompt phase with sensitive narrow-field X-ray instruments could help in understanding the origin of ultra-long GRBs. However, the observers face a true problem in rapidly activating follow-up observations, due to the challenging identification of an ultra-long GRB before the end of the prompt phase. We present here a comparison of the prompt properties available after a few tens of minutes of a sample of ultra-long GRBs and normal long GRBs, looking for prior indicators of the long duration. We find that there is no such clear prior indicator of the duration of the burst. We also found that statistically, a burst lasting at least 10 and 20 minutes has respectively $28{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ and $50{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ probability to be an ultralong event. These findings point towards a common central engine for normal long and ultra-long GRBs, with the collapsar model privileged.

Abstract:

Mike Buzzetti proposes an optical fiber polisher which is a link-type mechanism with double flats in 1999. Buzzetti’s optical fiber polisher produce 8-shaped grinding traces to polish the end face of optical fiber connector. The purpose of this paper is to design the optimal polishing traces of single-plate optical fiber polisher to avoid the patent of Buzzetti’s mechanism. First, a link-type single-plate optical fiber polisher, which is consist 7 links and 8 joints, is proposed. Then, analyze the polishing trace, velocity, and acceleration of Buzzetti’s mechanism and new mechanism. Finally, we take the curvature scope percentage (sp) and the velocity deviation percentage (Vdp) as the objective functions, and use global search to achieve optimized design so that the double- crank single-plate optical fiber polisher will produce the optimum polishing trace which is like the digit “8”. The results of this paper are: (1) The velocity deviation percentage of double-crank single-flat optical fiber polisher (Vdp= 61.8241%) is lower then the original mechanism (Vdp= 76.8652%). And, (2) The maximum acceleration of double-crank single-flat optical fiber polisher (amax = 1231 cm/s2) is lower then the original mechanism (amax= 2323.0 cm/sec2). The result indicates that the polishing effect of the double-crank single-flat optical fiber polisher is better then original mechanism.

Abstract:

Critics of Miss Marjoribanks are divided about whether Margaret Oliphant's eponymous heroine's performance of social conventions, particularly those pertaining to gender roles, is consciously subversive or an unreflective embodiment of those conventions. This scholarship implicitly equates agency with critical detachment: if Lucilla does not critique the conventions she uses and the constructions of gender they reflect, she must lack the capacity to think strategically about her desires, a capacity necessary for agency. It's true that Lucilla is neither critical nor detached. Oliphant characterizes her as fully invested in social norms and as lacking the psychological depth that typically marks agential characters. In fact, I argue that Lucilla is a flat character and that Lucilla's flatness is precisely what makes her excel as an agent. Lucilla's nigh-emotionless thinking, combined with her ruling qualities of good sense and self-satisfaction, promotes agency. Untrammeled by mixed feelings or self-doubt, she has nothing to do but rationally calculate how best to achieve her interests. Reconsidering Lucilla's agency in light of her flatness thus allows us both to value that agency as Oliphant portrays it and to understand how characters can have agency at all.

Abstract:

Abstract A laboratory study of force transmission in radial truck tires is described. The experiments are conducted with the tire-wheel assembly attached to a fixed, nonrotating axle. Contact with the tire is provided by a flat surface. Single frequency displacement cycles are applied to the loaded tire footprint, and the dynamic force transmitted through the tire is measured at the fixed axle. Fourier transform signal analysis is used to extract the cyclic displacement and force amplitudes. The amplitude ratio force/displacement is defined as the force transmissibility. The experiments show inflation pressure and tire load to have little effect on force transmissibility. A single degree of freedom tire model for force transmissibility is described. The model uses easily measured tire parameters and is intended for use in vehicle models to include the effect of tire dynamics.

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a great deal of research concerning the flag-transitive t-designs, however, few about the block-transitive t-designs with t large (t ≥ 4). In 1993, Cameron and Praeger conjectured that there are no non-trivial block-transitive 6-designs. In this paper, we prove that the conjecture is true when k ≤ 10000 and [Formula: see text] is almost simple.

Abstract:

The problem of determining true stress-strain curves from flat tensile specimens beyond the onset of necking has been investigated based on finite element analyses under consideration of experimental accessible data using digital image correlation (DIC). The displacement field on the specimen surface is determined by in-situ deformation field measurement. A three-dimensional finite element study with different stress-strain-curves has been carried out to develop a formula, with which it is possible to calculate the true stress subject to the strain in the necking region. The method has been used to evaluate the true stress-strain curve with a so-called micro flat tensile specimen, which is normally used to determine the material properties in the material gradient around thin weldments.
