Heavy-duty railcars carry greater than typical payloads by employing additional wheelsets to lessen wheel/rail contact stresses. Rather than the common 4-axle designs, these cars may have up to 16 axles supporting one deck. Traditionally, these car types have not performed as well as desired. As a response, designers have created depressed center body styles to lower the overall center-of-gravity (CG) height. Such designs lead to more complexity and expense. In this investigation, a heavy-duty 8-axle flatcar has been modeled, both with a flat carbody and a depressed body style. Simulations of harmonic roll perturbations were performed using various CG heights, track perturbation wavelengths and operating speeds. Results include comparisons of design versus performance trade-offs.

The One

Decades of studies conducted on eating disorders have given researchers a better understanding of the risk factors of eating disorders. Nevertheless, the complexity of eating disorders results in studies only being able to test a limited sample population, making it difficult to generalize results to the general public. Research must also actively investigate the effect of ongoing technological advancements that have transformed the way people interact with one another on the development of eating disorders. The current study used a literature review style approach to address these current limitations in eating disorder research by analyzing all populations that are affected by eating disorders and the involved risk factors. The research question that this study sought to answer was why only a certain group of individuals develop eating disorders when the entire population is exposed to risk factors. The main hypothesis of this study was whether the internalization of an ideal body style different from the one that an individually currently had while using maladaptive ways to achieve this ideal body image was sufficient to developing an eating disorder. The results supported the hypothesis, as the common theme among all sample populations was that the idealized body style, shape, and size was simply different from the one that individuals currently had. The extent to which this different body style was internalized as well as the extent to which maladaptive measures were taken to achieve this ideal body image was associated with increased vulnerability and likelihood of developing an eating disorder.

<em>Style is a collection of several satays and the bones of animals slaughtered (usually pigs) and then shaped so that they look attractive. In general the form of style can be divided into three namely the style of style, body style and peak style. Alas gayah consists of pig bones arranged like pigs while alive. On the body of the style is composed of several satay namely pengideran satay, satay that symbolizes the Gods Nawa Sanga (nine Gods who control the nine cardinal directions), pengurip-urip satay is satay which shows the amount of urip Dewata Nawa Sanga, and satay decoration is satay which symbolizes the contents of the nine directions of the compass; the world and functioning style decoration. The form of style in each region in Bali varies according to the taste of art and creativity of the maker, but has the same symbol and meaning, which is the symbol of the universe and is meaningful as a neutralizing the negative elements of the Great Bhuwana (nature) and Bhuwana Alit (humans).</em>

The purpose of this study was to identify the mechanical factors that are crucial to a successful double salto backward tucked dismount from thehorizontal bar. The subjects were 35 American and 43 Japanese gymnasts competing in their respective 1990 national gymnastics championships. A 16-mm camera, placed with its optical axis parallel to the horizontal bar and operating at 100 Hz, was used to record the performances of the subjects. Significant correlations indicated that a large vertical velocity at bar release, which ensures great height and long time of flight, is important. Successful performance is also likely when efforts are made to (a) achieve the tightest tuck position during the salto backward near the peak of flight, (b) extend the body rapidly and fully early in rotation before the vertical body position is reached well above the bar, (c) maintain the extended body position during the remainder of the flight to display body style for virtuosity bonus points, and (d) simultaneously prepare for a controlled landing on the mat.
