Abstract The relationship between the heat generation as experienced in the tire shoulder and the viscoelastic properties of the tire elastomeric components has been formulated. The analysis was facilitated by adopting the technique of multiple regression where the significance of each response equation was statistically evaluated. The physical intepretation and consequences of such response equations have been extensively discussed, whereas literature on the subject is incomplete. Effects of tire construction and size on the heat generation in the shoulder region was carried out by analyzing the results of tires that had reached a state of thermal equilibrium on an indoor tire-dynamometer. The tires used in the analysis were cross-ply and radial-ply passenger tires and cross-ply truck tires. Within the limits of such an analysis, the heat generation experienced in the tire shoulder was predominantly due to the condition classified as that of constant stress amplitude.

Abstract The technique of analyzing energy losses of tires that have reached a state of thermal equilibrium has been applied to cross-ply and radial-ply passenger car tires and cross-ply truck tires. The derived formulations relating the tire energy losses to the viscoelastic properties of the tire components show the dependence of these losses on tire size and construction. The analysis was carried out by systematically varying tire tread compounds and operating parameters. This investigation of the energy losses experienced by tires operating in a state of thermal equilibrium, has enabled the losses due to the various stress-strain deformations to be characterized. In particular, the losses due to the strain deformation have been correlated with two mechanisms, which are outlined. The results described enable a better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for tire energy losses and allow the tire losses to be predicted at the design stage.

Abstract Rubber compounds used in the manufacture of tread-cap, tread-base, and for the rubber-coating of the rayon cord for 12.00–20 tires have been varied in composition and, in consequence, their viscoelastic properties have been altered. Operating temperatures, in test-wheel runs, have been measured in the shoulder region of the tire close to the casing, using a needle-thermocouple. Multiple-regression has been used to investigate which combinations of viscoelastic properties of the rubber vulcanizates would give a linear, significant correlation to the heat build-up in the tire with a minimum residual. From the nature of the variables in the regression functions, conclusions have been drawn on the type of load occurring in the different components of the tire. It was found that the tread cap contributed to the heat build-up according to its loss compliance E″/|E*|2 and the carcass according to its loss-factor, E″/E′. Thus, the statistics show that the greater contribution to the heat build-up comes from the tread-base, according to its loss-factor also. The values of temperatures, calculated by the multiple-regression, show deviations of only a few degrees centigrade compared to the average temperatures of tires of the same construction. Therefore the operating temperatures of tires to be expected as a result of the compound variations can be estimated in advance. On individual tires greater deviations, up to 10°C, have been measured. These are due to inevitable inaccuracies in tire building and errors in temperature measurements.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between repression-sensitization and multidimensional locus of control, particularly as these variables relate to a third variable, the attribution of causality in interpersonal relationships. 41 male psychiatric inpatients were employed as subjects, of whom 18 were from an acute general inpatient unit and 23 were from an alcohol and drug unit. Eight independent variables were considered. There were eight dependent variables which were derived from an attribution measure devised for this study. Stepwise multiple regression analyses indicated that the variable having the most predictive power with respect to causal attributions was the subsample which the subject represented. A second analysis excluding subsample considerations showed that Levenson's Powerful Others scale was positively correlated with Internal-Positive attributions. Other significant correlations between the various measures were examined.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Summary: The Gudjonsson Compliance Scale (GCS), the COPE Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered to 212 men and 212 women. Multiple regression of the test scores showed that low self-esteem and denial coping were the best predictors of compliance in both men and women. Significant sex differences emerged on all three scales, with women having lower self-esteem than men, being more compliant, and using different coping strategies when confronted with a stressful situation. The sex difference in compliance was mediated by differences in self-esteem between men and women.

Queen Margaret (1070–93) has been the subject of much historical research. Previous studies of the queen and later saint have been undertaken from several different perspectives, including the biographical, institutional and hagiographical. In addition, some scholars have focused on her piety and later cult. Although a saint's miracles were one of the significant elements affecting the development of a cult, far less interest has been shown in the geopolitical importance of the miracles attributed to St Margaret and the relationship between the miracles and the saint's cult. The intention of this paper is to examine the miracles attributed to St Margaret and to identify their characteristics within the context of their contribution to, and influence in, the development of her cult.

Pragmatism and its consequences are central issues in American politics today, yet scholars rarely examine in detail the relationship between pragmatism and politics. This book systematically explores the subject and makes a strong case for adopting a pragmatist approach to democratic politics—and for giving priority to democracy in the process of selecting and reforming political institutions. What is the primary value of democracy? When should we make decisions democratically and when should we rely on markets? And when should we accept the decisions of unelected officials, such as judges or bureaucrats? This book explores how a commitment to pragmatism should affect our answers to such important questions. It concludes that democracy is a good way of determining how these kinds of decisions should be made—even if what the democratic process determines is that not all decisions should be made democratically. So, for example, the democratically elected U.S. Congress may legitimately remove monetary policy from democratic decision-making by putting it under the control of the Federal Reserve. This book argues that pragmatism offers an original and compelling justification of democracy in terms of the unique contributions democratic institutions can make to processes of institutional choice. This focus highlights the important role that democracy plays, not in achieving consensus or commonality, but rather in addressing conflicts. Indeed, the book suggest that democratic politics is perhaps best seen less as a way of reaching consensus or agreement than as a way of structuring the terms of persistent disagreement.

The article aims to examine grammatical features and pragmatic concerns of communicating in the sciences. In the research of certain languages, it became common to explaingrammatical features such as the usage of passive voice and nominal structures by communication requirements such as objectivity and precision. With the assumption that communication in science is designed to help gain and spread new insight, the authors tried to integrate several approaches to pragmatic and grammatical features of communication. By discussing the relationship between the grammar of certain languages and of the corresponding common language, the article also places the subject of communication in the sciences in the discipline of language variation.
