Formability of automotive friction stir welded TWB (tailor welded blank) sheets isnumerically investigated in biaxial stretching based on hemispherical dome stretch (HDS) test infour automotive sheets of Aluminum alloy 6111-T4, 5083-H18, 5083-O and DP590 steel, havingdifferent thicknesses. The effects of the weld zone modeling and the thickness ratio on formabilityare evaluated. In order to car...

BACKGROUND The aim of this retrospective study was to report the prevalence and patterns of soft tissue (ST) metastasis detected with true whole-body (TWB) F-18 FDG PET/CT acquired from the top of the skull through the bottom of the feet and to compare such findings to that of the typically acquired skull-base to upper-thigh, thus limited whole-body (LWB) field of view (FOV). METHODS TWB FDG-...

The most general set of new physics effective operators contributing to the decay of an unpolarized top quark into a bottom quark and a W gauge boson are considered at next-to-leading order in QCD. We find that the dipole operator contribution to the transverse-plus W helicity fraction F+ is enhanced compared to the leading order result at non-vanishing bottom quark mass. Nonetheless, presently...

In this paper, we present an algorithm for the automatic extraction of translation patterns between two (Indo-)European languages. These consist of possibly discontiguous text fragments, with the bilingual relationship between the text fragments and the discontinuities between them made explicit. The patterns are extracted from a bilingual parallel corpus aligned at the sentence level, without ...

This talk concerns some theoretical patterns of the helicity amplitudes for t → W+b decay. The patterns involve both the standard model’s decay helicity amplitudes, ASM (λW+, λb), and the amplitudes A+ (λW+, λb) in the case of an additional tR → bL tensorial coupling of relative strength Λ+ = EW/2 ∼ 53GeV . Such an additional electroweak coupling would arise if the observed top-quark has a larg...

In an age when enterprises are increasingly dependent on their suppliers and customers, individual companies should broaden their scope in order to include other organisations participating in the same value chain. Consequently, different parties of the chain ought to exchange information to make sound decisions in order to cut down global costs or improve customer service. This paper proposes ...
