Compound casting refers to a process that used to produce bimetals. This study investigates the interface of Mo40/C93200 that is produced by compound casting process. In this research, molten bronze is poured around steel core, interaction between liquid and solid creates a diffusion zone and followed by a transition layer which leads to the creation of diffused region between the interfaces of...

Arthropods typically show two types of segmentation: the embryonic parasegments and the adult segments that lie out of register with each other. Such a dual nature of body segmentation has not been described from Onychophora, one of the closest arthropod relatives. Hence, it is unclear whether onychophorans have segments, parasegments, or both, and which of these features was present in the las...

The clarity of marine spatial status requires a coherency between the state (territorial) sea boundary and provincial because both have same width 12 nautical miles. However, two boundaries use different references; refers to low-water line, whereas high-water so that outer limits differ. From applicable provisions, management area may not exceed territorial area. method used detect overlap is ...

A new tree-based representation for propositional formulas is introduced. This representation, the ∆-trees, allows a compact representation for well-formed formulas as well as a number of reduction strategies in order to consider only those occurrences of literals which are relevant for the satisfiability of

The pretheoretical notions of logical consequence and of a logical expression are linked in vague and complex ways to modal and pragmatic intuitions. I offer an introduction to the difficulties that these intuitions create when one attempts to give precise characterizations of those notions. Special attention is given to Tarski’s theories of logical consequence and logical constancy. I note tha...

1. Depth: Angle formed between the ankle knee and hip while squatting 2. Stance: distance between feet and center of mass over your ankles 3. Back-Hip Angle: Angle formed between the knees hips and back throughout the squat 4. Knee-Toe Alignment: Location and movement of knees throughout the squat • Certain components, such as required depth, stance and the angle at the hip, are fairly well-def...

The California Current System is an eastern boundary upwelling system (EBUS) with high biological production along the coast. Oligotrophic offshore waters create cross-shore gradients of biological and physical properties, which are affected by intense mesoscale eddy activity. The influence of eddies on ecosystem dynamics in EBUS is still in debate. To elucidate the mechanisms that influence th...

Background Few studies of edge effects on wildlife objectively identify habitat edges or explore non-linear responses. In this paper, we build on ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) research that has begun to address these domains by using triangulation wombling to identify boundaries in beetle community structure and composition at the edges of forest patches with residential developments. W...
