contact mechanics is related to the deformation study of solids that meet each other at one or more points. the physical and mathematical formulation of the problem is established upon the mechanics of materials and continuum mechanics and focuses on computations involving bodies with different characteristics in static or dynamic contact. contact mechanics gives essential information for the s...

P sychologists have long understood that research on the biological systems of social behavior is critical to our understanding of human social functioning. In his 1967 book titled The Biological Basis of Personality, for example, Hans Eysenck reviewed the extant research on personality and physiology and called for continued research on the topic.

Categorical disease models of personality disorder currently dominate in the DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10 diagnostic systems. In preparation for DSM-V, these models have been questioned in light of evidence and widely held beliefs that disorders of personality are extreme variants of normal personality. Unfortunately, problems arise in trying to produce a dimensional model of abnormal and normal person...

The most important experimental methods of studying the mechanical properties cells, as well common rheological models, among which discrete models micro/nanostructure cell and continuous that allow calculating modulus elasticity viscosity in normal pathological conditions are discussed. A review is given with an indication their features differences. new continuum model a multi-layer shell fil...
