Abstract A theoretical equation has been developed to described the rate of slow crack growth in an ethylene‐hexene copolymer terms basic morphological parameters. These parameters are spacing butyl branches, number tie molecules, and thickness lamellar crystal. Experimentally, lamellae long period were determined as functions branch density. The calculation molecules is based on values molecular weight period. model disentanglement molecules. varies inversely with directly that not pinned...

Abstract A completely theoretical oaloulation was made of the dependence yield point on degree long-range order in an AB b.c.c. super-lattice. The resulting equation is where T temperature, and S 0 order. For β-brass a maximum τ at 515°k 0·54×109 dynes/cm2 predicted; experimentally observed values are 493°k 0·36×109 dynes/cm2. sharp increase near c; it associated with short-range strengthening as predioted by Sumino. width anti-phase domain boundary also calculated. > 0·5T c given

A series of three studies examines potential consumer confusion associated with the advertising copy used to describe cause-related marketing (CRM) campaigns, where money is donated a charity each time makes purchase. The first study assesses relative frequency various formats in CRM on Internet. authors find that majority (69.9%) are abstract (e.g., portion proceeds will be donated), 25.6% estimable X% profits and 4.5% calculable price donated). Subsequent (1) slight variations wording...

Antiphase boundaries have been observed in thin foils of a Fe3Al superlattice prepared from the bulk material, using transmission electron microscopy techniques. This particular alloy forms two distinct types superlattice; first is high temperature modification based on an imperfect B2-type lattice, while second lower more perfect DO3-type lattice. A type antiphase boundary has found to be associated with each ordered configuration, and their geometry energy analyzed detail. The critical...

In this study, we used process measures to understand how people recall autobiographical memories in response different word cues. Experiment 1, participants provided verbal protocols when cued by object and emotion words. Participants also reported whether had come directly mind. The self-reports independent ratings of the indicated that recalled are much faster more frequent than generated prevalent objects emotions. 2 replicated these results without eliminate any demand characteristics...

The ordering transformation in the alloy Ni3Mn has been investigated using both magnetic and neutron diffraction techniques. These measurements were made with alloys that allowed to relax nearly equilibrium states of order over a range temperatures above below critical temperature. In addition, manner which these approached isothermally was also temperatures. From measurements, it postulated configurations partial are nonhomogeneous, consisting long-range ordered domains matrix short-range...

Abstract On surveys, men report two to four times as many lifetime opposite‐sex sexual partners (SPs) women. However, these estimates should be equivalent because each new partner for a man is also woman. The source of this discrepancy was investigated in study. Participants reported number and past‐year SPs estimation strategies. pattern replicated. protocols indicated that people used different strategies, who the same strategy produced similar estimates, some strategies were associated...

A series of five studies examine potential consumer confusion associated with the “percentage profit” wording often used to describe cause-related marketing in which money is donated a charity each time makes purchase. The initial four demonstrate that (1) expressing donation amount as percentage profit leads widespread and near universal overestimation being donated, (2) even consumers who have had formal accounting training are susceptible this bias, (3) participant motivation an...

In 2 experiments, the authors investigated how representations of global geography are updated when people learn new location information about individual cities.Participants estimated latitude cities in North America (Experiment 1) and Old New Worlds 2).After making their first estimates, participants were given latitudes asked to make a second set estimates.Both estimates revealed evidence for psychologically distinct geographical subregions that coordinated, an ordinal sense, across...

Estimation is influenced by a variety of processes: application heuristics, domain-specific reasoning, and intuitive statistical induction, among them. In this article, we propose the metrics mapping framework to account for how these processes are integrated generate estimates. This identifies 2 types information as critical: knowledge distributional properties (metric knowledge) relative status individual entities within distribution (mapping knowledge). Heuristics both viewed cues that...

A model of historical memory is proposed. This identifies three primary levels organization (the news event, the public narrative, period) and allows events to be associated with personal information. Three experiments were conducted evaluate this model: a verbal protocol study, response time free-association study. In accordance model, these studies demonstrated that (a) associations between same-narrative tend stronger than other interevent associations, (b) political are more likely...

For equivalent values of plastic strain, the dislocation density and point-defect concentration following deformation by propagation high-amplitude shock waves (70 to 330 kbar) through high-purity polycrystalline nickel are appreciably larger than as a result cold rolling near 0°C. Based on electrical-resistivity change in recovery state III IV, it is concluded that vacancies rather interstitials predominant point defects formed. The ratio two types formed appears be essentially strain-rate...

Memories of war, terrorism, and natural disaster play a critical role in the construction group identity persistence conflict. Here, we argue that personal memory knowledge collective past become entwined only when public events have direct, forceful, prolonged impact on population. Support for this position comes from cross-national study which participants thought aloud as they dated mundane autobiographical events. We found Bosnians often mentioned their civil war Izmit Turks made...

Abstract Oriented sheets of polyethylene terephthalate have been deformed in tension and simple shear, with the primary variable as angle between tensile stress or shear initial draw direction. In tension, deformation bands were observed all cases, has reported previously (Brown Ward 1968 a), a clear yiold point was cases. The stress–strain curves for on other hand showed very appreciable changes direction stress, only certain These qualitative features are consistent principles proposed...

In the study reported here, we investigated intergenerational transmission of life stories in two groups young adults: a conflict group and nonconflict group. Only participants had parents who lived through violent political upheaval. All recalled dated 10 important events from one their parents’ lives. There were three main findings. First, both produced sets that displayed reminiscence bump related to parent’s estimated age at time event. Second, majority transitions perceived have exerted...
