Workflow provenance typically assumes that each module is a “black-box”, so that each output depends on all inputs (coarse-grained dependencies). Furthermore, it does not model the internal state of a module, which can change between repeated executions. In practice, however, an output may depend on only a small subset of the inputs (finegrained dependencies) as well as on the internal state of...

Source: Journal of Social Psychology, 36, 1952. pp. 241-244. Abstract: A simple rating experiment in which men rated girls which "required little expenditure of time, was of great intrinsic interest to the students, and the...

In this study, environmental stains were removed from maxillofacial elastomers by solvent extraction. Silastic 44210, an RTV silicone with proven color and physical property stability, was stained with lipstick, disclosing solution, and methylene blue. These stains were then removed by solvent extraction with each of four chemically dissimilar solvents, namely: toluene, benzene, 1,1,1-trichloro...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a safe inorganic ultraviolet (UV) filter with activity against UV damage. However, the recombination of carrier’s charge and tendency for TiO2 aggregation are main disadvantages. Substrate supports, such as mesoporous silica, biocompatible strategies to incorporate TiO2, altering its interaction skin. Since lips sensitive adversities environment, including radiation, ...

As the name suggests, ‘liquid crystals’ exist in an intermediate state between a liquid and a solid. The term may be misleading however, they are not a crystal, and they need not be a liquid. Liquid crystals exist all around us in everyday life in plastics, crude oil, lipstick, and many other places [2]. Their most widely known industrial application is in Liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which ...
