The phenomenon of contagion is analysed in terms of the intensification explanation of the effect of crowding (high density) on humans. According to the analysis, high density should be expected to increase contagion of a model’s behavior. Groups of three subjects and a confederate listen to humorous tapes under low or high density conditions. In half of the groups the confederate smiles and la...

High-performance Sr0.6K0.4Fe2As2 (Sr-122) tapes have been successfully fabricated using hot pressing (HP) process. The effect of HP temperatures (850-925°C) on the c-axis texture, resistivity, Vickers micro-hardness, microstructure and critical current properties has been systematically studied. Taking advantage of high degree of c-axis texture, well grain connectivity and large concentration o...

A i2 inch square plastic bowl some 5 inches deep with sloping ramps has three strands of t inch copper tube fitted around the inside surface, the upper band about 1 inch below the rim, and each 1/16 inch apart A low voltage of 12 to 25 volts is applied to the tapes from a mains transformer or battery. Small animals are attracted up the ramps and into the bowl by a suitable bait; as they cross t...

We propose N = 4 twisted superspace formalism in four dimensions by introducing Dirac-Kähler twist. In addition to the BRST charge as a scalar counter part of twisted supercharge we find vector and tensor twisted supercharges. By introducing twisted chiral superfield we explicitly construct off-shell twisted N = 4 SUSY invariant action. We can propose variety of supergauge invariant actions by ...

The influence of addition cleaned granite dust on self-adhesive products, such as tapes based silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives was presented. new way waste management, is a very important issue in the modern world. obtained materials were tested both terms properties adhesive compositions (pot-life test) well operational parameters tapes, adhesion, cohesion, stickiness or shrinkage. result...

Queues, stacks, and tapes are basic concepts which have direct applications in compiler design and the general design of algorithms. Whereas stacks (pushdown store or last-in-rst-out storage) have been thoroughly investigated and are well understood, this is much less the case for queues ((rst-in-rst-out storage). In this paper we present a comprehensive study comparing queues to stacks and tap...

This study aimed to examine the effects of application of kinaesthetic tapes on plantarflexor muscle performance. We hypothesised that taping of the triceps surae muscle would improve plantarflexor muscle strength and endurance with no significant effect on drop jump performance. Using a repeated-measures design, all performance measures were obtained in 24 volunteers on two separate occasions:...

This study describes the fatigue behaviour of newly developed all-polypropylene (all-PP) tapes and woven composites [1], with reference to the composite processing conditions, testing temperature and comparison to commercial alternatives. The possible damage development mechanisms are also part of the present paper. All-PP tapes used in this study are highly oriented (90 wt% oriented phase) and...

Copper sheath is the first choice for manufacturing high-T(c) superconducting wires and tapes because of its high electrical and thermal conductivities, low-cost and good mechanical properties. However, Cu can easily react with superconducting cores, such as BSCCO, MgB2 and pnictides, and therefore drastically decrease the transport J(c). Here, we report the fabrication of Cu-sheathed Sr(1-x)K(...

Manufacturing of AgMg sheathed Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x superconducting tapes involves multiple processes. Microstructural studies across tape sections have shown that the microstructure is nonuniform across the tape. These nonuniformities are largely due to manufacturing defects, even in well-controlled manufacturing processes. Consequently, the electrical and mechanical properties vary in these differ...
