In this research, graphitization transformation of a commercial hypereutectoid steel called CK100 was studied by the dilatometric experiments at the range of 600 – 700 °C from prior martensitic structure. Also the effect of quenching media on the initial graphitization time and completion of transformation has been discussed. Also, graphitization transition from the different prior microstructu...

This paper provides a game-theoretic model of probabilistic voting and then examines the incentives faced by candidates in a spatial model of elections. In our model, voters’ strategies form a Quantal Response Equilibrium (QRE), which merges strategic voting and probabilistic behavior. We first show that a QRE in the voting game exists for all elections with a finite number of candidates, and t...

Quantal response equilibrium (QRE) has become a popular alternative to the standard Nash equilibrium concept in game theoretic applications. It is well known that human subjects do not regularly choose Nash equilibrium strategies. It has been hypothesized that subjects are limited by strategic uncertainty or that subjects have broader social preferences over the outcome of games. These two fact...

For the first several hundred years of research in cellular biology, the main bottleneck to scientific progress was data collection. Our newfound data-richness, however, has shifted this bottleneck from collection to analysis [1]. While a variety of options exists for examining any one experimental dataset, we are still discovering what new biological questions can be answered by mining thousan...

Data warehouses (DWs) are complex computer systems whose main goal is to facilitate the decision making process of knowledge workers. ETL (Extraction-Transformation-Loading) processes are responsible for the extraction of data from heterogeneous operational data sources, their transformation (conversion, cleaning, normalization, etc.) and their loading into DWs. ETL processes are a key componen...

Objective: The aims of the present study was to develop and validate a quick repetition test using familiar, culture-based words for the assessment of the Farsi speaking children suffering from Speech Sound Disorders (SSD). Method: The study population was divided into two groups, including 419 participants without any clinical signs of speech impairment and 36 cases with SSD. Psychometric pro...
