Almost inevitably, he suggests, the transformations are less extensive and go less deeply than their proponents might have wished, not least because the Court, for a variety of ...

Quantitative analysis of thermo-mechanical behavior in 414 stainless steel using flow curves and processing maps

The hot deformation behavior of a typical martensitic stainless steel containing 2.1% Ni was investigated by means of the compression test in the strain rate range of 0.001-1 s-1 and temperature range of 950-1150 °C. The flow behavior of the steel was evaluated using the flow stress curves and flow softening map and by microstructural investigation. Taking into account of the strain effect on t...

Comprehensive Quantitative Analysis on Privacy Leak Behavior

Privacy information is prone to be leaked by illegal software providers with various motivations. Privacy leak behavior has thus become an important research issue of cyber security. However, existing approaches can only qualitatively analyze privacy leak behavior of software applications. No quantitative approach, to the best of our knowledge, has been developed in the open literature. To fill...
