This research presents an innovative methodology for accurately predicting spring-back tendencies in V-bending of SS400 steel sheets under elevated temperatures. The study leverages extensive tensile test data to determine parameters pure isotropic and kinematic hardening laws at varying temperatures, crucial inputs Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations. While using or alone has limitations, ...

In order to develop the ontology of tendencies for use in the representation of medical knowledge, tendencies are compared with other kinds of entities possessing the realizable-realization-structure, specifically: dispositions, propensities, abilities and virtues. The peculiarities of tendencies are discussed and a standard schema of tendency ascription is developed in order to represent the r...

The design of an optimizing compiler for a large and rich language poses problems beyond those of sheer size and cost. One of the most serious is that the wealth and variety of the language makes it possible to express the same logical function in terms of many different source constructs. The choice may be based on naturalness of language use, program readability, ease of debugging, compil...

Lying is a common occurrence in social interactions, but what predicts whether an individual will tell a lie? While previous studies have focused on personality factors, here we asked whether lying tendencies might be transmitted through social networks. Using an international sample of 1,687 socially connected pairs, we investigated whether lying tendencies were related in socially connected i...

There is no consensus regarding the phenomenology, classification, and diagnostic criteria of cybersex addiction. Some approaches point toward similarities to substance dependencies for which approach/avoidance tendencies are crucial mechanisms. Several researchers have argued that within an addiction-related decision situation, individuals might either show tendencies to approach or avoid addi...

BACKGROUND Motivational conflict is central to alcohol dependence, with patients reporting motivation to limit their drinking at the same time as urges to drink alcohol. In addition, dual process models of addiction emphasise the power of automatic cognitive processes, particularly automatic approach responses elicited by alcohol-related cues, as determinants of drinking behavior. We aimed to e...
