Analysing Effects of Birth Order on Intelligence, Educational Attainment, Big Five, and Risk Aversion in an Indonesian Sample

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Few studies have examined birth order effects on personality in countries that are not Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD). However, theories have generally suggested that interculturally universal family dynamics are the mechanism behind birth order effects, and prominent theories such as resource dilution would ...

One dimensional parabolic free boundary problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
The method of lines is used to approximate explicit and implicit free boundary problems for a linear one dimensional diffusion equation with a sequence of free boundary problems for ordinary differential equations.

Asymptotic Preserving numerical schemes for multiscale parabolic problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We consider a class of multiscale parabolic problems with diffusion coefficients oscillating in space at a possibly small scale $\varepsilon$. Numerical homogenization methods are popular for such problems, because they capture efficiently the asymptotic

Helix Alignment, Chevrons, and Edge Dislocations in Twist‐Bend Ferroelectric Nematics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The recently discovered twist‐bend ferroelectric nematic (NTBF) is the new member of the multiferroic family, representing a fluid with an oblique helicoidal (heliconical) periodic structure of spontaneous electric polarization. The work presents a thorough exploration of the material properties of this phase, how the periodic modulation of ...

Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Deciding Isomorphy using Dehn fillings, the splitting case

open access: yes, 2018
We solve Dehn's isomorphism problem for virtually torsion-free relatively hyperbolic groups with nilpotent parabolic subgroups. We do so by reducing the isomorphism problem to three algorithmic problems in the parabolic subgroups, namely the ...

Shedding Light on Common Misinterpretations in Photocatalyst Characterization

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
For heterogeneous semiconductor‐based photocatalysts, Marschall et al. highlight common misconceptions in material synthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation, together with detailed explanations on how to avoid them. The guidelines thus presented can help to improve reporting of photocatalyst performance in environmental applications, such
