In this study, the suspension stability of a maglev vehicle is investigated under steady aerodynamic load. The dynamics in vertical direction are modelled by considering lift and pitching moment, model adopted to investigate how load influences analysing critical speed means eigenvalue analysis direct integration. Doing so reveals three modes failure: (i) an upward or moment can give rise dynam...

Abstract We consider the reachability problem for finite-state multi-threaded programs under promising semantics () of Lee et al., which captures most common program transformations. Since is already known to be undecidable in fragment with only release-acquire accesses (-), we relaxed and promises (). show that general it becomes decidable, albeit non-primitive recursive, if bound number promi...

In the last two decades, empirical evidence has shown that personality traits could be related to characteristics of written language. This study describes a meta-analysis synthesizes 23 independent estimates correlations between Big Five major traits, and some computationally obtained indicators from The results show significant combined correlations, albeit small moderate according Cohen's co...

Seaside resorts frequently served as locations of murder mysteries in Golden Age detection fiction, since these destinations could provide a diverse clientele, confined to manageably small groups essential classic detective stories. The fictional seaside town Wilvercombe serves the location Dorothy L. Sayers’s novel Have His Carcase (1932), which Lord Peter Wimsey and detective-story writer Har...

Abstract This paper examines how the situation caused by COVID-19 impacted use of a well-entrenched word in Japanese: masuku ‘mask’. An inspection data gathered from an online newspaper shows sharp increase token and type frequency complex words with ‘mask’ 2020 (mid-pandemic) compared to 2019 (pre-pandemic), implying recurrence variegation mask-related topics media. Focusing on varied types co...

We investigate the changes in self-citation behavior of Italian professors following introduction a citation-based incentive scheme, for national accreditation to academic appointments. Previous contributions on have either focused small samples or relied simple models, not controlling enough confounding factors. The present work adopts complex statistics model implemented bibliometric individu...

Hemophilia B is a bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the factor IX gene. The disorder is X-linked recessive with a prevalence of about 1 in 30,000 Caucasian males. Factor IX is naturally synthesized in the liver and secreted into blood. Here we report the construction of recombinant adenoviral vectors containing the canine factor IX cDNA that are capable of transducing hepatocytes in mice...
