an analytical equation of state (eos) developed by ihm-song-mason (ism) has been applied tocalculate some thermophysical properties of molten polymers including poly (1-octene) (po), poly (vinylmethyl ether) (pvme), poly (vinyl chloride) (pvc), and poly (styrene) (ps). three temperature-dependentparameters of the ism eos have been determined based on the alternative scaling constants, dispersiv...

the prevalence of child abuse in the world is 47 per 1000. according to the child protective service agency (cps) more than 3 million children were abused in the usa in 1998. there was 1.7% increase in comparison with 1996. the prevalence of child abuse in the usa is 15 per 1000. a crosssectional study was conducted in order to determine the frequency, and influential factors on child abuse amo...

The size-dependent longitudinal and torsional dynamic problems for small-scaled rods have importance in two-phase media. special case of the elastic rod equation such as magneto-electro circular are seen literature commonly, but this work, generalized form nonlinear equation, which was not studied literature, is considered. exact solutions obtained via Mathieu approximation method with a novel ...

During the past 15 years NASA has taken the lead role in exploiting the benefits of textile reinforced composite materials for application to aircraft structures. The NASA Advanced Composites Technology (ACT) program was started in 1989 to develop composite primary structures for commercial transport airplanes with costs that are competitive with metal structures. As part of this program, sever...
