We perform large-scale computer simulations of an off-lattice two-dimensional model of active particles undergoing a motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) to investigate the systems critical behaviour close to the critical point...

We present results of electrothermal interactions in fine geometry contacts and vias. The results have been obtained using a two-dimensional model based on the finite-box procedure. For the contact geometry, large electric potential gradients and consequently high Joule-heating effects develop at the interface, which is relatively low in electrical conductivity. In the case of the via, however, temperature escalations result from singularities in the electric field at geometrically imperfect locations, owing to inadequate step coverage in the metallization process. In particular, we discuss the treatment of boundary conditions for the temperature equation.

In the upper part of the basin of Kłodnica river hydrographic conditions are shaped primarily by decades of mining activity, which contributes to the formation of flooding and fens in the river valley and its tributaries. The article presents impact of forecasted land area slump on the range and depth of floodplains created by the passage of hypothetical flood wave with probability of occurrence p = 0.2%, and thus the size of the flood hazard in this part of the basin. The floodplains were generated by simulation carried out on the developed two-dimensional model of the Kłodnica river using MIKE FLOOD software.

This research uses the counter-attitudinal essay paradigm ( Janis & King, 1954 ) to test the effects of social actions on social representations. Thus, students wrote either a pro- or a counter-attitudinal essay on Higher Education. Three forms of counter-attitudinal essays were manipulated countering respectively a) students’ attitudes towards higher education; b) peripheral beliefs or c) central beliefs associated with this representation object. After writing the essay, students expressed their attitudes towards higher education and evaluated different beliefs associated with it. The structural status of these beliefs was also assessed by a “calling into question” test ( Flament, 1994a ). Results show that behavior challenging either an attitude or peripheral beliefs induces a rationalization process, giving rise to minor modifications of the representational field. These modifications are only on the social evaluative dimension of the social representation. On the other hand, when the behavior challenges central beliefs, the same rationalization process induces a cognitive restructuring of the representational field, i.e., a structural change in the representation. These results and their implications for the experimental study of representational dynamics are discussed with regard to the two-dimensional model of social representations ( Moliner, 1994 ) and rationalization theory ( Beauvois & Joule, 1996 ).
