Abstract. In this study the yield point phenomenon in Bake-Hardening grade steel is predicted using a physically based thermo-mechanical model. A modified Taylor equation proposed with dislocation density evolution approach. The softening that follows higher incorporated Voce type decaying exponential function. strain rate dependency of plastic hardening also decay function dependent but does n...

Action Research is an applied scholarly paradigm resulting in action for continuous improvement in our teaching and learning techniques offering faculty immediate classroom payback and providing documentation of meeting our educational responsibilities as required by AACSB standards. This article reviews the iterative action research process of planning, acting, observing, reflecting and revisi...

We demonstrate a method using photoactivation localization microscopy (PALM) in a soft-material system, with a rhodamine-lactam dye that is activated by both ultraviolet light and protonation, to reveal the nanoscale photoacid distribution in a model photoresist. Chemically amplified resists are the principal lithographic materials used in the semiconductor industry. The photoacid distribution ...

This paper describes details of NTOU Chinese spelling check system participating in CLP2014 Bakeoff. Confusion sets were expanded by using two language resources, Shuowen and Four-Corner codes. A new method to find spelling errors in legal multi-character words was proposed. Comparison of sentence generation probabilities is the main information for error detection and correction. A rulebased c...

Mathematics – the word alone can strike fear into hearts of students, parents, and educators alike. This emotional response seems to be not only acceptable, but almost expected and, should you differ, then are considered either a genius or bit insane. “How could someone like math?”, they think.
