Vestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2017 The nonlinear Maxwell-type constitutive relation with two arbitrary material functions for viscoelastoplastic multi-modulus materials is studied analytically in uniaxial isothermic case to reveal the model abilities and applicability scope and to develop

Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance Strategies under Cumulative Prospect Theory with Reference Point Adaptation [PDF]
, 2012 Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) is a significant and highly popular investment strategy within the structured product market. This has led to recent work which attempts to explain the popularity of CPPI by showing that it is compatible ...

Does Inequality Blur Class Lines? Meritocratic Attitudes in Comparative Perspective
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Scholars of inequality generally find that lower‐class individuals are more skeptical of meritocratic narratives that link economic success to individual work effort. However, past research has yielded inconclusive findings about how economic inequality affects meritocratic attitudes across different class groups.

Vestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2017 Basic qualitative properties of the creep curves generated by the linear integral constitutive relation of viscoelasticity (with an arbitrary creep compliance) under cyclic piecewise-constant uni-axial loadings (with an arbitrary asymmetry stress ratio ...

Ratchet Effect and Nonlinear Transport for Particles on Random Substrates with Crossed ac Drives
, 2005 We show in simulations that overdamped interacting particles in two dimensions with a randomly disordered substrate can exhibit novel nonequilibrium transport phenomena including a transverse ratchet effect, where a combined dc drive and circular ac ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)

Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2016 The prevention of excessive deformation by thermal ratcheting is important in the design of high-temperature components of fast breeder reactors (FBR). This includes evaluation methods for a new type of thermal ratcheting caused by an axial traveling of ...

Simulated Domain Wall Dynamics in Magnetic Nanowires [PDF]
, 2006 The simulated domain wall dynamics in rectangular 10 nm thick, 2000 nm long Permalloy wires of varying width is presented. In the absence of an applied field the static domain wall length is found to be linearly dependent to the width of the nanowire. As

, 2017 Current understanding of how contractility emerges in disordered actomyosin networks of non-muscle cells is still largely based on the intuition derived from earlier works on muscle contractility.

What Do Lithics Tell Us About Cultural Evolution? Insights From the Central African Record
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While Western historical narratives often incorporate a biased vision of human evolution—driven by a progressive view tied to a progressively evolving state of culture—this paper proposes combining archaeological lithic data with epistemological reflections to critique the modern regime of historicity, where progress is assumed as rational ...
