Understanding how variation in weather and climate conditions impact productivity, performance learning is of crucial economic importance. Recently, studies have established that high temperatures negatively cognition educational outcomes several countries around the world. We add to this literature by analysing test scores from a national assessment Australian children aged between 8 15 years....

This work presents the next leap in piezoelectric all-ceramic composites fabricated at ultra low temperatures. The “Upside-down” composite method is further developed and instead of water-soluble lithium molybdate used our earlier study, an organotitanate based precursor gel as a binder. Utilizing heat pressure transforms into titanium oxide which, together with lead zirconate titanate particle...

Like faces, body postures are susceptible to an inversion effect in untrained viewers. The inversion effect may be indicative of configural processing, but what kind of configural processing is used for the recognition of body postures must be specified. The information available in the body stimulus was manipulated. The presence and magnitude of inversion effects were compared for body parts, ...

Several mitigation methods are described, and one possible retrofit solution is shown. In a later paper, (see the pdf file “ Upsdown measure”) numerical simulations were performed on a model of the system in order to expand the range of conditions and identify significant variables. Nevertheless, there are still very few published data on quantifying the stress that can be produced by these sce...

Oxygen tension and extracellular matrix compositions play important roles in network formation of endothelial cells. In article number 2006091, Yi-Chung Tung co-workers develop an vitro model using upside-down microfluidic device capable generating oxygen gradients for three-dimensional cell culture within hydrogels under controlled microenvironments.

The first data model was developed by Rockwell and IBM in the 1970s. It is known as the hierarchical model. The hierarchical database is a collection of records that is logically organized to conform to the upside-down tree (hierarchical) structure. Within the hierarchy, the top layer (the root) is perceived as the parent of the segment directly beneath it. While this model represents 1:M relat...

In this paperwe study the properties of total time on test transforms of ordern and examine their applications in reliability analysis. It is shown that the successive transforms produce either distributions with increasing or bathtub-shaped failure rates or distributions with decreasing or upside bathtub-shaped failure rates. The ageing properties of the baseline distribution is compared with ...
