Loss aversion is considered a general pervasive bias occurring regardless of context or person making the decision. We hypothesized that conscientiousness would predict an aversion to losses in the financial domain. We index loss aversion by the relative impact of income losses and gains on life satisfaction. In a representative German sample (N = 105,558: replicated in a British sample, N = 33...

this research work is devoted to the footprint analysis of a steel-belted radial tyre (185/65r14) under vertical static load using finite element method. two models have been developed in which in the first model the tread patterns were replaced by simple ribs while the second model was consisted of details of the tread blocks. linear elastic and hyper elastic (arruda-boyce) material models wer...

This study simulates the cutting of epoxy-based material with Mulliken-Boyce constitutive model using Abaqus package. Two sizes simulation models were established to represent micro- and macro-machining processes. The formation epoxy chips is investigated under various finite element conditions. It found that continuous, serrated, broken chip types in previous experiments can be realised via th...

83 T he less than adequate characteristics of traditional lecture-based educational methods are well established. Research indicates that lecture alone leads to student passivity, does little to promote retention of learned material, discourages interaction between students and instructors, and makes it difficult for instructors to obtain timely feedback about student understanding. Research on...
