Using data on political networks gathered during a novel, multi-wave panel study conducted during the 2010 election cycle in the UK, we argue that although people may choose to discuss politics more often with those who hold similar political views, remaining disagreements in political discussion networks can still have a substanti...

متن کاملModelling of Conventional and Severe Shot Peening Influence on Properties of High Carbon Steel via Artificial Neural Network
Shot peening (SP), as one of the severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods is employed for surface modification of the engineering components by improving the metallurgical and mechanical properties. Furthermore artificial neural network (ANN) has been widely used in different science and engineering problems for predicting and optimizing in the last decade. In the present study, effects of conv...
متن کاملOptimum Designing of Forging Preform Die for the H-shaped Parts Using Backward Deformation Method and Neural Networks Algorithm
In a closed die forging process, it is impossible to form complex shapes in one stage, and thus it becomes necessary to use preform dies. In the present study, Backward Deformation Method and FE simulation via ABAQUS software has been used in order to design preform die of the H-shaped parts. In the Backward Deformation Method, the final shape of the part is considered as a starting point and u...
