Generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft power aggregation operator based on t‐norm and their application in multicriteria decision‐making

open access: yesInternational Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2018
The aim of this paper is to develop some new power aggregation operators for intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) soft numbers. The aggregation operators are named as IF soft power averaging (IFSPA) operator, weighted IFSPA (WIFSPA) operator, ordered WIFSPA ...

From Damage to Functionality: Remanufacturing of Thrust Roller Bearings by Tailored Forming

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, the wear and fatigue behavior of repaired bearing raceways with a new powder alloy is investigated using a FE8 test‐rig and an oscillating tribometer. The tests are compared with industrial manufactured bearings to evaluate the repair quality. The repair can extend the service life of the repaired bearing to that of a new bearing and improves ...

Understanding heavy tails in a bounded world or, is a truncated heavy tail heavy or not? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We address the important question of the extent to which random variables and vectors with truncated power tails retain the characteristic features of random variables and vectors with power tails. We define two truncation regimes, soft truncation regime

Reassessing Turkey’s Soft Power: The Rules of Attraction

open access: yesAlternatives: Global, Local, Political, 2019
Since the mid-2000s, Turkey has incorporated a soft power discourse into its foreign policy agenda and shifted its attention toward building up its soft power infrastructure.

Icephobic Gradient Polymer Coatings Coupled with Electromechanical De‐icing Systems: A Promising Ice Repellent Hybrid System

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid system for de‐icing made of gradient polymer coatings, deposited on aluminum coupled with an electromechanical system, is demonstrated as an effective and durable strategy for reducing drastically ice adhesion. The system is capable of detaching ice blocks over the coating in less than 1 s, regardless of the ice type and covered area ...

Next-to-leading power threshold logarithms: a status report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
There is ample evidence, dating as far back as Low's theorem, that the universality of soft emissions extends beyond leading power in the soft energy. This universality can, in principle, be exploited to generalise the formalism of threshold resummations

A Novel Simulation Approach for Damage Evolution during Tailored Forming

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Traditional damage models are struggling to accurately and efficiently simulate large‐scale three‐dimensional models with a great number of degrees of freedoms. A new gradient‐enhanced damage model based on the extended Hamilton principle can significantly reduce the computation time while ensuring mesh‐independence which is suitable to use in tailored

Nitrogen-Doped Graphene Uniformly Loaded with Large Interlayer Spacing MoS2 Nanoflowers for Enhanced Lithium–Sulfur Battery Performance

open access: yesMolecules
Lithium–sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer a high theoretical energy density but suffer from poor cycling stability and polysulfide shuttling, which limits their practical application.

Soft Power and Struggles for Leadership: The United States, Russia and China [PDF]

open access: yesContemporary Chinese Political Economy and Strategic Relations: An International Journal, 2020
This article argues that struggles for global leadership and soft power are at the center of gaining consent of the ruled. The United States once led the world in leadership. It is now facing serious challenges because of its own doing.
