Study of ratcheting behavior of pure copper and pure aluminum using molecular dynamics simulation [PDF]
, 2012 A lot of research work is going on in the field of ratcheting of materials. In this investigation, the ratcheting behavior of pure copper and pure aluminum are studied using molecular dynamics simulation.And finally, a comparison is done between the ...

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract Remarkably little is known about what factors drive success or failure in foreign policy. In part, this is because there is little fundamental agreement on what constitutes success or failure in this domain in the first place. This article engages with these shortcomings by comparing two similar regional order‐building initiatives overseen by ...

Parrondo games as lattice gas automata [PDF]
, 2001 Parrondo games are coin flipping games with the surprising property that alternating plays of two losing games can produce a winning game. We show that this phenomenon can be modelled by probabilistic lattice gas automata.

Behavior of confined granular beds under cyclic thermal loading
, 2019 We investigate the mechanical behavior of a confined granular packing of irregular polyhedral particles under repeated heating and cooling cycles by means of numerical simulations with the Non-Smooth Contact Dynamics method.

Crack growth based life prediction approach under LCF-HCF interaction
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2019 Prediction of cyclic life under low cycle fatigue - high cycle fatigue (LCF-HCF) interaction is of paramount importance in the context of structural integrity of components in the primary side of fast reactors where such damage under LCF-HCF interaction ...

Dominance of extreme statistics in a prototype many-body Brownian ratchet
, 2014 Many forms of cell motility rely on Brownian ratchet mechanisms that involve multiple stochastic processes. We present a computational and theoretical study of the nonequilibrium statistical dynamics of such a many-body ratchet, in the specific form of a

Tribological Behavior of Very Thin Confined Films [PDF]
, 2000 The tribological properties of two smooth surfaces in the presence of a thin confined film are investigated with a generic model for the interaction between two surfaces and with computer simulations.

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.

MagicPairing: Apple's Take on Securing Bluetooth Peripherals
, 2020 Device pairing in large Internet of Things (IoT) deployments is a challenge for device manufacturers and users. Bluetooth offers a comparably smooth trust on first use pairing experience. Bluetooth, though, is well-known for security flaws in the pairing

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)
