The head frame is a key component which plays a supportive and accommodative role in the spindle system of CNC machine tool. Improving the static and dynamic characteristics has profound significance to the development of machine tool and product performance. The simplified finite element modal is established with ANSYS to carry out the static and modal analysis. The results showed that the maximum deformation of the head frame was 0.0066mm, the maximum stress was 3.94Mpa, the deformation of most region was no more than 0.0007mm, which all verified that the head frame had a good stiffness and deforming resistance; several improvement measures for dynamic performance were also proposed by analyzing the mode shapes, and the 1st order natural frequency increased 7.33% while the head frame mass only increased 1.58% applying the optimal measure, which improved the dynamic characteristics of the head frame effectively.

According to a popular model of self-control, willpower depends on a limited resource that can be depleted when we perform a task demanding self-control. Over the last five years, the reliability of the empirical evidence supporting this model has become the subject of heated debate. In the present study, we reanalysed data from a large-scale study –Many Labs 3– to test whether performing a depleting task has any effect on a secondary task that also relies on self-control. Although we used a large sample of more than 2,000 participants for our analyses, we did not find any significant evidence of ego-depletion: Persistence on an anagram solving task (a typical measure of self-control) was not affected by previous completion of a Stroop task (a typical depleting task in this literature). Our results suggest that persistence in anagram solving may not be an optimal measure to test depletion effects.

Readability are all elements that exist in the text (including the interaction between text) that affect the success of the reader in understanding the material they read on the speed reading is optimal. Measure the readability of a discourse needs to be done by educators to the material presented on target. There are many ways to measure the readability level of discourse, one formula Fry Graph. Fry Graph formula is quite popular because the procedure is easy. Curriculum 2013, the government issued textbooks thematic. This study aims to determine the readability level of discourse using the formula Fru Graph in this thematic books, especially books Elementary School 4th grade thematic themes ”Indahnya Kebersamaan” and “Selalu Menghemat Energi”. This study is a descriptive analysis method, namely: based on readability formulas introduced by Edward Fry, who became known as "Fry Graph". Fry suggests that the main factor affecting the readability of a discourse or book there are two things, namely the length of the short sentence and word, difficulty level is also characterized by the number of syllables that make up each word in the discourse. Based on these results take the number of discourses that were sampled were 14 themes for “Indahnya Kebersamaan” and 10 pieces for the theme “Selalu Berhemat Energi. The discourse is measured based on the steps of the Fry graph readability formula. The results using Fry graphs readability formula to conclude that the book theme package “Indahnya Kebersamaan” more suitable for level 7, 8, and 9. While on the theme”Selalu Berhemat Energi” more suitable for level 1, 2, and 3.

Abstract The regularity of solutions to optimal transportation problems has become a hot topic in current research. It is well known by now that the optimal measure may not be concentrated on the graph of a continuous mapping unless both the transportation cost and themasses transported satisfy very restrictive hypotheses (including sign conditions on the mixed fourth-order derivatives of the cost function). The purpose of this note is to show that in spite of this, the optimal measure is supported on a Lipschitz manifold, provided only that the cost is C2 with non-singular mixed second derivative. We use this result to provide a simple proof that solutions to Monge's optimal transportation problem satisfy a change of variables equation almost everywhere.

Treating to target is becoming the standard of care in many medical specialities, including rheumatology. The Tight Control of Psoriatic Arthritis (TICOPA) trial has recently provided evidence of the benefit of treating to target in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and the revised European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations on the management of PsA suggest this approach. However, the question of the optimal measure to use and the practicalities of incorporating this into routine clinical practice remain problematic.
