This research investigated whether relative ingroup prototypicality (i.e., the tendency to perceive one’s own ingroup as more prototypical of a superordinate category than the outgroup) can result from a prototype-based versus exemplar-based mental representation of social categories, rather than from ingroup membership per se as previously suggested by the ingroup projection model. Experiments 1 and 2 showed that a prototype-based group was perceived as more prototypical of a superordinate category than an exemplar-based group supporting the hypothesis that an intergroup context is not necessary for biased prototypicality judgments. Experiment 3 introduced an intergroup context in a minimal-group-like paradigm. The findings demonstrated that both the kind of cognitive representation and motivational processes contribute to biased prototypicality judgments in intergroup settings.

Abstract An analytical membrane model is used to study how wheel imperfections are converted into radial force variation of the tire-wheel assembly. This model indicates that the radial run-out of the rim generates run-out of the tire-wheel assembly at slightly less than the one to one ratio that was expected. Lateral run-out of the rim is found to generate radial run-out of the tire-wheel assembly at a ratio that is dependent on the tire design and the wheel width. Finite element studies of a production tire validate and quantify the results of the membrane model. Experiments using a specially constructed precision wheel demonstrate the behavior predicted by the models. Finally, a population of production tires and wheels show that the lateral run-out of the rims contribute a significant portion to the assembly radial force variation. These findings might be used to improve match-mounting results by taking lateral rim run-out into account.

Background: Active scholars in the nanofluid field have continuously attempted to remove the associated challenge of the stability of nanofluids via various approaches, such as functionalization and adding a surfactant. After preparing a stable nanofluid, one must measure the properties, as this is vital in the design of thermal systems. Objective: Authors aimed to investigate the stability and viscosity of refrigeration lubrication oilbased nanofluids containing functionalized MWCNTs. The effects of concentration and temperature on viscosity were studied. Furthermore, the present study focused on the effect of sonication time on the stability and viscosity of the prepared samples. Methods: After the preparation of chemically functionalized MWCNTs, solutions were dispersed with an ultrasonic homogenizer for 2, 4 and 8 hours sonication at maximum power. Viscosity measurements for all samples were made 10 minutes after sonication by adjusting the proper spinning velocity using a digital rotary viscometer. Results: The first part deals with the stability of the nanofluid as a nanolubricant, and the second one investigates the viscosity of the nanofluid and the effects of various parameters on it. The last one is related to the validation of the measured viscosity values by means of well-known empirical correlations. The measured data are given for validation issues. Conclusion: The samples will have higher stability by increasing the time of sonication. The viscosity of a nanofluid does not change with the increase of sonication time to two hours and higher. Up to mass concentration of 0.1%, the effective viscosity increases with adding nanotubes linearly.

An approach utilizing the automodel properties in describing the hydrodynamic behaviour of counter-current columns has been extended to regularly stacked beds. Two new kinds of the packing have been investigated: The so-called K-packing, developed in the German Democratic Republic and the Cellular packing, developed in Poland. The results of experiments have been presented in the form of plots of the normalized liquid hold-up, hp, versus the normalized liquid velocity, Ql, and two empirical correlations. A comparison with previous results with randomly packed counter-current trickle bed columns has also been made.

The course of chlorination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (I) in water and approximately 20% sulfuric and hydrochloric acids has been investigated. In all these media the reaction gives primarily 2,4,6,6-tetrachloro-2,4-cyclohexadienone (II) which is subsequently chlorinated under formation of polychlorinated alicyclic ketones or isomerized to give the more stable 2,4,6,6-tetrachloro-2,5-cyclohexadienone (III), the precursor of further arising chlorinated 1,4-benzoquinones. The ratio of the arising polychlorinated alicyclic ketones to chlorinated 1,4-benzoquinones is significantly influenced by concentration of hydrogen chloride in the reaction medium. On the basis of model experiments, the reaction mechanism of exhaustive chlorination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol has been suggested.
