ABSTRACT Acoustic properties of an auxetic foam were measured to validate a previously proposed lower bound for Poisson's ratio, ν ≥ 1/5, inferred from classical two-parameter elasticity theory. This limit differs from the commonly reported lower limit of −1 for isotropic materials in the linear elastic range. For a foam measured to have a value of ν > 0.2, agreement was found between the measured flexural resonance frequency of a disk sample and the theoretical value. On the other hand, for an auxetic sample (ν < 0), the prediction from the two-parameter theory was significantly in error. Thus, for materials having ν < 1/5 (auxetic foams, as well as very hard solids such as diamond, germanium, and fused quartz), the equations of classical elasticity are invalid.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of different levels of catfish bone paste to flour on the physicochemical, textural and crumb structure properties of steamed bread. Six different levels (0, 1, 3, 5, 7,10 %) of catfish bone paste to flour were used in the formulation of the steamed bread. The results showed that the weight loss and TTA of steamed bread decreased with an increase in the levels of the catfish bone paste. On the other hand, the pH increased with an increase in the levels of the catfish bone paste. The specific volume, hardness, chewiness and gas cell structure in the crumb of steamed bread with catfish bone paste at 5% supplementation level were better. Thus, a value of 5% catfish bone paste was considered a better level for incorporation into the steamed bread.

Schools of six jack mackerel each were photographed with infrared film at eight levels of luminance and also in darkness. Three indices were used to measure the behavior of the school from motion pictures. Two of the indices, mean distance to nearest neighbor and mean separation distance, were measures of the distances between individuals in a school; the other, mean angular deviation, was a measure of differences in orientation between individuals. A value for each index was calculated for each motion picture frame.From 12.1 to 6 × 10−6 ft-L no differences existed in the angular deviation of the school or in the distances between fish. At 6 × 10−7 ft-L the intervals between fish were much larger than at higher levels of brightness and groups showed little uniformity in their orientation. Below 6 × 10−7 ft-L (darkness) schools were dispersed and the distributions of values of angular deviation were random.The ability of jack mackerel to feed on live adult Artemia was also tested at eight levels of luminance and in darkness. The number of Artemia eaten at 6 × 10−5 ft-L was about half of that eaten at the normal daytime level of 12.1 ft-L. Few Artemia were eaten at 6 × 10−7 ft-L and none in darkness.Comparison of these data with measurements of light in the sea indicated that jack mackerel probably would be able to maintain schools near the surface on a moonless starlit night and that they probably could feed effectively near the surface on a full moonlight night.

The Risk-Based Bank Rating approach (RBBR) is used to determine the health of banks in Indonesia, both for national banks, joint venture banks and foreign banks. This approach uses five (5) proxies, i.e. Non Performing Loan (NPL), Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), Return on Assets (ROA), Net Interesr Margin (NIM), and the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). The overall result of the 5 (five) variables studied show that national banks are healthier than the other two types of banks, namely venture banks and foreign banks, because the national bank has a value beyond the provisions of Bank Indonesia. The partial variable LDR consistently varies significantly between national banks, joint venture banks and foreign banks. The LDR of joint venture banks and foreign banks is higher than the national bank. These conditions indicate that the bargaining position of joint venture banks and foreign banks in serving the needs of public borrowing is much higher than the national bank, which results in increasing the ability of both types of banks in generating profit. Simultaneously throughout the study variables was significantly different among the national banks, joint venture banks and foreign banks..

There exist scaling correlations between the edge weights and the nodes' degrees in weighted social networks. Based on the empirical findings, we study a multi-state voter model on weighted social networks where the weight is given by the product of agents' degrees raised to a power θ and there exist persistent individuals whose opinions are independent of those of their friends. We find that the fraction of each opinion will converge to a value which only relates to the degrees of initial committed agents and the scaling exponent θ. The analytical predictions are verified by numerical simulations. The model indicates that agents' degrees and scaling exponent can significantly influence the final coexistence or consensus state of opinions. We also study the influence of degree mixing characteristics on the dynamics model by numerical simulations and discuss the relation between the model and the other related opinion dynamics models on social networks with different topological structures and initial configurations.

Expressions are combinations of operators and operands which are evaluated to produce a value of a specific type. Infix operators require two operands with an operator written between them. A prefix operator requires one operand with an operator written before it. (The expression syntax starts on page 208.) Evaluation proceeds from left to right, governed by the precedence of the operators. The lowest numbered precedence as shown in Table 14.1 is evaluated first. Operators in the same row have the same precedence. Expressions enclosed by parentheses are evaluated before being treated as a single operand. An operand between two operators of different precedence is bound to the operator with the higher one; e.g., −10*20 means (−10)*20. An operand between two operators of the same precedence is bound to the one on the left; e.g., 10/20 * 30 means (10/20) * 30. Exercise 14.1 Work out the intermediate steps for this expression: … −2/(4+4)*5+6… When a null value is encountered in an expression where a non-null is expected, evaluation is short circuited and a null answer is produced. Otherwise, all expressions are fully evaluated even when the outcome is known after partial evaluation. Exercise 14.2 Can you think of an expression that does not require complete evaluation to get the correct answer? The operands of an operator must be compatible with the operator and with each other. Operands can be compatible without having identical types and are compatible when any of these conditions are satisfied: • The types are the same. • One type is a subtype of the other (e.g., one is a number and the other is an integer. • Both types are strings. • Both types are binaries. • Both types are arrays which have compatible base types and identical bounds. • Both types are bags which have compatible base types. • Both types are lists which have compatible base types. • Both types are sets which have compatible base types. Operations are organized by the kind of result they produce, namely: numeric, boolean or logical, string or binary, or aggregate.

AbstractThe three-dimensional analogue of Moffatt eddies is derived for a corner formed by the intersection of three orthogonal planes. The complex exponents of the first few modes are determined and the flows resulting from the primary modes (those which decay least rapidly as the apex is approached and, hence, should dominate the near-apex flow) examined in detail. There are two independent primary modes, one symmetric, the other antisymmetric, with respect to reflection in one of the symmetry planes of the cone. Any linear combination of these modes yields a possible primary flow. Thus, there is not one, but a two-parameter family of such flows. The particle-trajectory equations are integrated numerically to determine the streamlines of primary flows. Three special cases in which the flow is antisymmetric under reflection lead to closed streamlines. However, for all other cases, the streamlines are not closed and quasi-periodic limiting trajectories are approached when the trajectory equations are integrated either forwards or backwards in time. A generic streamline follows the backward-time trajectory in from infinity, undergoes a transient phase in which particle motion is no longer quasi-periodic, before being thrown back out to infinity along the forward-time trajectory.
