Developing ductile refractory alloys have remained a challenge. Decreasing the valence electron concentration of has been widely suggested for improving their ductility. However, Re used to ductilize W, which goes against low valency suggestion. The thermodynamic stability never considered while suggesting alloying elements improve Here we use first-principles density functional theory simulati...

An interesting fact is that almost all the connected 2-arc-transitive nonnormal Cayley graphs on nonabelian simple groups with small valency or prime (provided solvable vertex stabilizers) are alternating An. This naturally motivates study of for arbitrary valency. In this paper, we characterize automorphism such graphs. particular, show a non-complete (G,2)-arc-transitive graph G simple, socle...

This paper presents the English valency lexicon EngValLex, built within the Functional Generative Description framework. The form of the lexicon, as well as the process of its semi-automatic creation is described. The lexicon describes valency for verbs and also includes links to other lexical sources, namely PropBank. Basic statistics about the lexicon are given. The lexicon will be later used...

The experiments on casein solutions therefore confirm the conclusion at which we arrived from the behavior of gelatin and crystalline egg albumin that the forces determining the combination between proteins and acids or alkalies are the same forces of primary valency which also determine the reaction between acids and alkalies with crystalloids, and that the valency and not the nature of the io...
