this paper presents a control model of the hydroforming and the dual hydroforming process of atube. the theoretical part includes calculations to measure the change in tube thickness through thedeveloped process. the hydroforming and the dual hydroforming processes are simulated in thesolidsimulation software and the static and the dynamic simulations are modeled. theobtained results for the t-...

The paper distinguishes features of computer-aided mapping and geographic information systems and identifies an emerging link. Common to both systems is the need to link graphic data and attribute data. This geo-relational structure requires a one-to-one relationship of the graphic record with the record of the table of attributes. Combining distance-referenced line data with a topological data...

background: antifungal drug resistance and few numbers of available drugs limit therapeutic options against fungal infections. the present study was designed to discover new antifungal drugs.   m aterials and methods: this study was carried out in two separate steps, that is, in silico lead identification and in vitro assaying of antifungal potential. a structural data file of a ternary complex...

This paper reports progress in realizing human-agent argumentation, which we argue will be part of future Computer-Supported Collaborative Argumentation (CSCA) tools. With a particular interest in argument mapping, we present two investigations demonstrating how a particular agent-oriented language and architecture can augment CSCA: (i) the use of the IBIS formalism enabling Brahms agents to si...

OBJECTIVES The present investigation reports on the development and initial validation of a new analog task, the Parent-Child Aggression Acceptability Movie Task (P-CAAM), intended to assess respondents' acceptance of parent-child aggression, including both physical discipline and physical abuse. METHODS Two independent samples were utilized to develop and evaluate the P-CAAM: an undergraduat...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of three different luting protocols on shear bond strength of computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (cad/cam) resin nanoceramic (rnc) material to dentin. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 30 disks were milled from rnc blocks (lava ultimate/3m espe) with cad/cam technology. the disks were subsequently c...
