x-ray diffraction peak profile analysis was used to identify changes in the lattice distortions during isothermal aging of fe-10ni-7mn (wt. %) maraging steel. integral peak breadths were analyzed using classical williamson-hall equation taking the elastic anisotropy into account. it was found that substantial lattice distortions rise during precipitation hardening which depend strongly on the s...

The physiology and behaviour of ectotherms are strongly influenced by environmental temperature. A general hypothesis is that for performance traits, such as those related to growth, metabolism or locomotion, species face a trade-off between being a thermal specialist or a thermal generalist, implying a negative correlation between peak performance and performance breadth across a range of temp...

An X-ray diffraction line will broaden considerably when steels change into martensitic structure on quenching. The results presented in this paper show that X-ray diffraction technique can be employed for a rapid and nondestructive measurement of hardness of hardened steel. Measurement on various quenched and tempered steels showed that the breadth of its diffraction peak increased with increa...

We propose a new saturation-based symbolic state-space generation algorithm for finite discrete-state systems. Based on the structure of the high-level model specification, we first disjunctively partition the transition relation of the system, then conjunctively partition each disjunct. Our new encoding recognizes identity transformations of state variables and exploits event locality, enablin...

The long-standing view in ecology is that disparity in overall resource selection is the basis for identifying niche breadth patterns, with species having narrow selection being classified "specialists" and those with broader selection being "generalists". The standard model of niche breadth characterizes generalists and specialists as having comparable levels of overall total resource exploita...

the current study is an attempt to investigate the particular role learners' vocabulary knowledge plays in their reading comprehension performance. it intends to determine whether breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge are related to efl learners' reading comprehension, and to investigate which one of these variables, that is, depth or breadth of vocabulary knowledge, makes a more important ...
