Adults’ facial impressions of children’s niceness, but not shyness, show modest accuracy

Acknowledgements: We are grateful to the parents and children who helped make this research possible. We would also like to thank Romina Palermo for providing us the opportunity to contact her sample of parent and child participants, and to use some of her existing data. Finally, we would like to thank the examiners who provided thoughtful comments on an earlier draft of this paper presented in a thesis. JC, CS, LJ and GR conceived the study and edited the manuscript. JC programmed the experiment, collected undergraduate participant data, performed the statistical analyses, and drafted the first manuscript. EB coordinated image collection. All authors participated in the study design, and read and approved the final manuscript.

Evidence for a Kernel of Truth in Children’s Facial Impressions of Children’s Niceness, but not Shyness

Acknowledgements: We are grateful to the parents and children who helped make this research possible. We would like to thank Romina Palermo for providing us the opportunity to contact her sample of participants and to use some existing data. We also thank Lou Ewing for sharing the Zeb the Alien Scientist testing materials, and Saba Siddique for comments regarding a manuscript draft. Finally, we would like to thank Kaitlyn Turbett, Dielle Horne, Saba Siddique, Chloe Giffard, and Maira Vicente Braga, for help testing participants. JC, LJ, GR, and CS conceived the study and helped to draft and edit the manuscript. JC programmed the experiment, collected most participant data, performed the statistical analyses and drafted the first manuscript draft. EB coordinated image collection and testing schedules. All authors participated in the study design, and read, provided critical revisions and approved the final manuscript. The study methods, hypotheses and analyses were pre-registered(https://osf.io/kjtva/registrations).

Rigid, Complete Annuloplasty Rings Increase Anterior Mitral Leaflet Strains in the Normal Beating Ovine Heart

Background-Annuloplasty ring or band implantation during surgical mitral valve repair perturbs mitral annular dimensions, dynamics, and shape, which have been associated with changes in anterior mitral leaflet (AML) strain patterns and suboptimal long-term repair durability. We hypothesized that rigid rings with nonphysiological three-dimensional shapes, but not saddle-shaped rigid rings or flexible bands, increase AML strains

Разработка технологии сборки и сварки стыкового соединения труба-лист из низколегированной стали

Соединение вида труба-лист является одним из распространенных типов сварных соединений. К примеру, оно часто применяется при изготовлении металлических колонн и несущих опор каркасов зданий. Применение низколегированных сталей взамен углеродистых при изготовлении данных металлоконструкций обеспечивает существенное снижение металлоемкости, а также позволяет повысить различные прочностные характеристики соединения. Цель работы – разработка технологии сборки и сварки стыкового соединения труба-лист из стали 09Г2С. В процессе работы был выбран способ сварки, сварочное оборудование и сварочные материалы. Произведены расчеты параметров режима сварки, рассчитаны оптимальные геометрические характеристики шва, а также его ожидаемый химический состав.Pipe-to-sheet joint is one of common welded joints. For example it is used to make of metal columns and load-bearing supports of building frames. The use of low alloy steels instead of carbon steels in the manufacture of metal structures reduces metal consumption and allows to increase the strength characteristics of joint. Purpose of the work is development of fitting up and welding technology of a butt pipe-to-sheet joint steel 09G2S. In the progress, a welding method, welding equipment and welding materials were selected. The parameters of the welding mode, geometric characteristics and chemical composition are calculated

Redefining Sovereignty: The Use of Force After the Cold War

The use of force and the regulation of armed conflict in the 21st century raises new and challenging questions in international law and policy. This timely study brings together leading scholars -- including ethicists, political scientists and international lawyers -- to address the use of force, beginning with NATO\u27s 1999 intervention in Kosovo up to the US-led invasion of Iraq. In some important respects, the legal regime for force regulation -- in place since the adoption of the UN Charter in 1945 -- provides a normative restraint on international relations, but is it wholly relevant and effective with regard to contemporary events? The contributors investigate what options are or should be lawful in the 21st century.https://scholarship.law.nd.edu/law_books/1076/thumbnail.jp
