Fan aggression in football (soccer) is a societal problem that affects many countries worldwide. However, to date, most studies use an epidemiological or survey approach to explain football fan aggression. This study used a controlled laboratory study to advance a model of predictors for fan aggression. To do so, football fans (n = 74) saw a match summary in which their favorite team lost again...

A 3D computational electromagnetic-thermal coupled analysis was performed to analyze the effects of auxiliary cooling fans, called air-gap fans, on winding cooling in a large-capacity, high-speed induction motor. A novel non-uniform iron loss distribution mapping method considering time and rotation period was introduced to provide more accurate thermal modeling. Winding cooling performance in ...

Feature indexing techniques are promising for object recognition since they can quickly reduce the set of possible matches for a set of image features. This work exploits another property of such techniques. They have inherently parallel structure and connectionist network formulations are easy to develop. Once indexing has been performed, a voting scheme such as geometric hashing [10] can be u...

Exotic tree plantations have been considered as a management strategy for the rehabilitation of indigenous tree communities in situations that require human intervention to assure forest ecosystem rehabilitation. This study evaluated the value of pine Pinus caribaea and Pinus patula and cypress Cupressus lusitanica plantations as a means o f permitting indigenous trees to become established on ...

the aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of tectonic on the volume of alluvial fans around danehkhoshk anticline. to achieve the purpose of this study, at first, borders, sweep angle(s) and radius(r) of alluvial fans were obtained based on quick bird satellite image and then difference in the altitude between the apex and toe of alluvial fans (h) were calculated based on topographic map ...
