Drawing on the hot-cool systems analysis of self-regulation, we examined whether attentionalfocus mediates the negativity of cognitive-affective reactions to interpersonal rejection. The hypothesis was that whereas a hot, arousing focus to representing rejection experiences should increase anger-hostility, accessing the cool system through distraction and distancing should attenuate such respon...

Warm deep drawing of polypropylene, a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer, is studied using finite element analysis. In this process, circular polypropylene blank preheated to temperature much below its melting and drawn into the shape flat-bottom cylindrical cup punch-die combination, both initially at 25°C. The material model used for analysis considers effects varying strain rate during p...
