The aim of this paper is to make a theoretical and experimental study to evaluate the water jet influence on a metallic material used in oilfield manufacturing, using AWJ process. It was investigated how the scattering of the jet has influenced the width of the kerf and neighboring area. The metallic material is P275NL2 which is a low temperature quality steel alloy specially used in petrochemical industry. The experimental tests were made on the waterjet cutting machine model YCWJ-380-1520 using preestablish working conditions. Theoretical investigations were performed using CFD simulation with planar 2D fluid flow on the geometrical model. Graphical correlation was performed between theoretical outcomes given by CFD simulation and experimental results on the regarded material, overlapping on the theoretical searching for the cutting velocity and the hardening velocity limits nearby the kerf.

Abstract There has been a very large number of experimental studies of the elastic properties of amorphous polymer networks in uniaxial deformation, particularly elongation, over the past few decades. In spite of these efforts, and related theoretical investigations, major questions remain unanswered with regard to stress-strain isotherms over the range of moderate deformations. The major question in this area is the molecular basis or interpretation of the phenomenological constants 2C1 and 2C2 used to represent the experimentally observed isotherms. It is hoped that the present survey of the results of the most important of these experimental studies, particularly in regard to the effect of experimental variables on 2C1 and 2C2 will encourage additional work, leading to an unambiguous solution to this important unsolved problem in the area of rubberlike elasticity.

Results of theoretical and experimental studies on the influence of diameter of an adjusting (outflow) hole on the operation of mechanisms of automatic weapons operating on a principle of barrel side hole returning gases are presented in the paper. Experimental investigations were performed on a modified laboratory set-up for testing the functioning of mechanisms of a gas operated rifle. These results were compared with results of simulating studies. Theoretical investigations may limit the scope of experimental tests and save the cost and time of designing the firearms as a satisfactory level of compliance for the results was achieved.

Mammalian spindles are generally large and may contain over a thousand microtubules (MTs). For this reason they are difficult to reconstruct in three dimensions and many researchers have chosen to study the smaller and simpler spindles of lower eukaryotes. Nevertheless, the mammalian spindle is used for many experimental studies and it would be useful to know its detailed structure.We have been using serial cross sections and computer reconstruction methods to analyze MT distributions in mitotic spindles of PtK cells, a mammalian tissue culture line. Images from EM negatives are digtized on a light box by a Dage MTI video camera containing a black and white Saticon tube. The signal is digitized by a Parallax 1280 graphics device in a MicroVax III computer. Microtubules are digitized at a magnification such that each is 10-12 pixels in diameter.

Abstract. Employing one correlational and two experimental studies, this paper examines the influence of attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant) on a person’s experience of equity in intimate relationships. While one experimental study employed a priming technique to stimulate the different attachment styles, the other involved vignettes describing fictitious characters with typical attachment styles. As the specific hypotheses about the single equity components have been developed on the basis of the attachment theory, the equity ratio itself and the four equity components (own outcome, own input, partner’s outcome, partner’s input) are analyzed as dependent variables. While partners with a secure attachment style tend to describe their relationship as equitable (i.e., they give and take extensively), partners who feel anxious about their relationship generally see themselves as being in an inequitable, disadvantaged position (i.e., they receive little from their partner). The hypothesis that avoidant partners would feel advantaged as they were less committed was only supported by the correlational study. Against expectations, the results of both experiments indicate that avoidant partners generally see themselves (or see avoidant vignettes) as being treated equitably, but that there is less emotional exchange than is the case with secure partners. Avoidant partners give and take less than secure ones.

Based on an analysis of John Exner’s peer-reviewed published work from 1959 to 2007, plus a brief comment for an editorial in Rorschachiana, the author draws a comprehensive picture of the scientific work of this outstanding personality. The article is divided into three sections: (1) the experimental studies on the Rorschach, (2) the clinical studies using the Rorschach, and (3) Exner’s “testament,” which we draw from the last paper he saw published before his death (Exner, 2001/2002). The experimental studies were aimed at better understanding the nature of the test, in particular the respective roles of perception and projection in the response process. These fundamental studies led to a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms involved in the Rorschach responses and introduced some hypotheses about the intentions of the author of the test. The latter were subsequently confirmed by the preparatory sketches and documents of Hermann Rorschach, which today can be seen at the H. Rorschach Archives and Museum in Bern (Switzerland). Exner’s research has evidenced the notion that the Rorschach is a perceptive-cognitive-projective test.

In two experimental studies (conducted in Britain and Italy), participants read about a politician answering to leadership- versus morality-related allegations using either downward counterfactuals (“things could have been worse, if ...”) or upward counterfactuals (“things could have been better, if ...”). Downward messages increased the perception of the politician’s leadership, while both downward and upward messages increased morality perception. Political sophistication moderated the effect of message direction, with downward messages increasing perceived morality in low sophisticates and upward messages increasing perceived morality in high sophisticates. In the latter group, the acknowledgment of an intent to take responsibility mediated morality judgment. Results were consistent across different countries, highlighting previously unexplored effects of communication on the perception of the “Big Two” dimensions.
