This note deals with two-mechanism models (= 2M models). 2M models (or, generally, multimechanism models) are a useful tool for modelling of complex material behavior. They have been studied and applied for the last twenty years. This note is focused on the modelling of 2M models in continuum-mechanical framework mainly in the case of plastic behaviour. In particular, some classes of 2M models ...

The microstructural evolution during low temperature ageing of two commercial purity alloys (Al1.2Cu-1.2Mg-0.2Mn and Al-1.9Cu-1.6Mg-0.2Mn at.%) was investigated. The initial stage of hardening in these alloys is very rapid, with the alloys nearly doubling in hardness during 20 h ageing at room temperature. The microstructural evolution during this stage of hardening was investigated using diffe...

In this paper, we present two new control flow based pointcuts to Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) languages that are needed for systematic hardening of security concerns. They allow to identify particular join points in a program’s control flow graph (CFG). The first proposed primitive is the GAFlow, the closest guaranteed ancestor, which returns the closest ancestor join point to the pointcu...

Using a single model for forest type predictive mapping will not produce good estimates of confidence in the prediction of individual pixels, even with good overall accuracy. A new strategy which combines several models based on different philosophy could not only reduce the uncertainty of predictive modelling, but also improve the mapping accuracy. In our study, a Artificial Neural Networks, a...

To identify genes involved in stress resistance and heat hardening, replicate lines of Drosophila melanogaster were selected for increased resistance to knockdown by a 39 degrees heat stress. Two selective regimes were used, one with and one without prior hardening. Mean knockdown times were increased from approximately 5 min to > 20 min after 18 generations. Initial realized heritabilities wer...
