An important task of mechanics synthetic fishing twisted rope and string products braided cords is to create a fundamental basis for describing their fracture processes during deformation in operation, i.e. develop framework (building models algorithms calculating structures technological at large plastic deformations, taking into account fracture). There considered the necessity developing int...

When query optimizers erroneously assume that database columns are statistically independent, they can underestimate the selectivities of conjunctive predicates by orders of magnitude. Such underestimation often leads to drastically suboptimal query execution plans. We demonstrate cords, an efficient and scalable tool for automatic discovery of correlations and soft functional dependencies betw...

We studied neural correlates accompanying the Fraser spiral illusion. The Fraser spiral illusion consists of twisted cords superimposed on a patchwork background arranged in concentric circles, which is typically perceived as a spiral. We tested four displays: the Fraser spiral illusion and three variants derived from it by orthogonally combining featural properties. In our stimuli, the shape o...

background: repeated efforts by researchers to impose voice changes by laryngeal surface electrical stimulation (ses) have come to no avail. this present pre-experimental study employed a novel method for ses application so as to evoke the motor potential of the internal superior laryngeal nerve (isln) and create voice changes. methods: thirty-two normal individuals (22 females and 10 males) pa...

Abstract. Different polymeric fibrous materials, such as polyester, nylon, aramid and rayon, can be employed reinforcement in tyres or other rubber composites. The present contribution focuses on the experimental characterization of rayon yarns cords makes some steps towards developing a constitutive model for cords, to later integrated into finite element procedure analysis fibre-reinforced Un...
