The objective of this report is to provide a short introduction regarding simple tire models that could be used when modeling the military vehicle HMMWV. Drawbacks and advantages associated with the tire models are briefly discussed. The report also introduces a simple three-dimensional tire model that has been implemented to Chrono software [3].

English and Russian color terms divide the color spectrum differently. Unlike English, Russian makes an obligatory distinction between lighter blues ("goluboy") and darker blues ("siniy"). We investigated whether this linguistic difference leads to differences in color discrimination. We tested English and Russian speakers in a speeded color discrimination task using blue stimuli that spanned t...

The present study examines coviewing of Baby Mozart by 6to 18-monthold infants and their caregivers under naturalistic conditions. We had two questions. First, extending the method of Barr, Zack, Garcia, and Muentener (Infancy, 13 [2008], 30–56) to a younger population, we asked if age, prior exposure, and caregiver verbal input would predict infant looking to a Baby Mozart video from 6 to 18 m...

Missing data are a major problem in the behavioral neurosciences, particularly when data collection is costly. Often researchers exclude cases with missing data, which can result in biased estimates and reduced power. Trying to avoid the deletion of a case because of a missing data point can be conducted, but implementing a naïve missing data method can result in distorted estimates and incorre...

The clinical negligence system is the means by which patients who can be proved to have received unsatisfactory (i.e. negligent) medical care can receive compensation. Debate about the way in which the UK (and others) achieve this, and whether suitable alternatives are available, has never been far away from this understandably sensitive topic. Current policy debate illustrates the perceived ca...

P ulmonary hypertension (PH), group III of the international aetiological classification [1], is a frequent and severe complication of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the syndrome of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema, ILD associated with connective tissue disease, sarcoidosis, pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis and, rarely, other I...
