Metamaterials are a class of engineered materials that often violate the routine assumptions that apply to ordinary materials.While metamaterials are typically assembled from carefully designed mesoscale units, the intended bulk-scale functionality can be obscured by unintended emergent effects driven by non-additive unit-unit interactions.These in
Through-tenon joints are widely used in ancient Hoses timber buildings.To study the influence of the gaps between mortise and tenon shoulder on the seismic performance of through-tenon joints, a 1:3.52 scaled model was constructed and used for low cyclic loading test.Finite element analysis was conducted to study the mechanical behavior of the thro
This study focuses on Grade 12 students aged 15 to Coffee Tables 19 years in 2015/2016 in British Columbia, examining disparities in high school completion between students with and without disabilities and diverse abilities (DDAs).It looks particularly at those receiving a Dogwood Diploma (a certificate of graduation) or an Evergreen Certificate (
During Open Source Software (OSS) development, users Hoses submit "new features (NFs)", "feature improvements (IMPs)" and bugs to fix.A proportion of these issues get fixed before the next software release.During the introduction of NFs and IMPs, the source code files change.A proportion of these source code changes may result in generation of bugs
Are people willing to gamble more for themselves 103 than what they deem reasonable for others? We addressed this question in a simplified computer gambling task in which subjects chose from a set of 10 cards.Subjects selected one card at a time after being instructed that 9 cards were good (win a dollar per card) and one was really bad (lose all t
