While the effects of time pressure on decision-making have been studied relatively extensively, the effects of a concurrent memory load have not. This paper presents a study of the effects of both time pressure and concurrent memory load on a static judgment task from the perspective of the lens model. Previous results indicating that time pressure results in less cognitive control and utilizat...

investigations were carried out to evaluate the performance of direct injection diesel engine with medium grade low heat rejection (lhr) combustion chamber and 3 mm air gap insulated piston, 3 mm air gap insulated liner, and ceramic coated cylinder head [ceramic coating with the thickness of 500 µ was made on the inside portion of the cylinder head].the engine had different operating conditions...

Cartilage is considered a biphasic material in which the solid is composed of proteoglycans and collagen. In biphasic tissue, the hydraulic pressure is believed to bear most of the load under higher strain rates and its dissipation due to fluid flow determines creep and relaxation behavior. In equilibrium, hydraulic pressure is zero and load bearing is transferred to the solid matrix. The visco...

OBJECTIVES During proportional assist ventilation with load-adjustable gain factors, peak respiratory muscle pressure can be estimated from the peak airway pressure and the percentage of assistance (gain). Adjusting the gain can, therefore, target a given level of respiratory effort. This study assessed the clinical feasibility of titrating proportional assist ventilation with load-adjustable g...

Background: An ISO standard tooth profile has a symmetric pressure angle of 20°. However, the load capacity can be increased with respect to bending and contact pressure by increasing the pressure angle on the meshing side of an asymmetric tooth. Accordingly, we analyzed the torque transmission capacity of asymmetric gears with various pressure angles. Methods: We calculated the deflection and ...

The study aimed to assess whether the 12-lead ECG-derived ventricular gradient, a vectorial representation of ventricular action potential duration heterogeneity directed toward the area of shortest action potential duration, can improve ECG diagnosis of chronic right ventricular (RV) pressure load. ECGs from 72 pulmonary arterial hypertension patients recorded <30 days before onset of therapy ...

Buckling of imperfect thin shell tank which is subjected to uniform axial compression is analyzed. The effect of internal pressure on the stability of a shell tank filled with a homogeneous-heterogeneous liquid was considered. Investigation of the liquid nature effect on reduction of the shell buckling load is performed by using the finite elements method. Calculating results in terms of analyt...

Abstract The determination of structural loads plays an important role in the certification process new aircraft. Strain gauges are usually used to measure and monitor encountered during flight test program. However, a time-consuming wiring calibration is required determine forces moments from measured strains. Sensors based on MEMS provide alternative way aerodynamic pressure distribution arou...
