This Side Of The Grave: Navigating The Quaker Plainness Testimony In London And Philadelphia In The Eighteenth Century

For observant members of the Society of Friends in greater London and Philadelphia during the eighteenth century, navigating the Quaker plainness testimony involved material culture choices that might be viewed by non-Quakers as concealing motives of frugality or blurring class lines or as violating standards of decency and propriety. This was particularly true of coffins, which were carried through the streets from home to burial ground followed by family and friends. On this public stage, Quaker coffin choices satisfied the requirements for plainness while at the same time they demonstrated family values and fulfilled societal expectations

Experimentally determined wear behavior of an Al2O3-SiC composite from 25 to 1200 C

The sliding wear behavior of a self-mated alumina-silicon carbide whisker toughened composite was studied using optical, scanning electron (SEM) and transmission electron (TEM) microscopy. Because of its excellent strength and toughness properties this composite material is under consideration for use in heat engine applications for sliding contacts which operate at elevated temperatures. The composite's wear behavior and especially its wear mechanisms are not well understood. Pin-on-disk specimens were slid in air at 2.7 m/s sliding velocity, under a 26.5-N load, at temperatures 25 to 1200 C. Pin wear increased with increasing temperature. Based upon the microscopic analyses, the wear mechanism seems to be loosening of the reinforcing whiskers due to frictional and bulk heating. This leads to whisker pullout and increased wear

Sliding wear of self-mated Al2O3-SiC whisker reinforced composites at 23-1200 C

Microstructural changes occurring during sliding wear of self-mated Al2O3-SiC whisker reinforced composites were studied using optical, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Pin-on-disk specimens were slid in air at 2.7 m/sec sliding velocity under a 26.5 N load for 1 hr. Wear tests were conducted at 23, 600, 800, and 1200 C. Mild wear with a wear factor of 2.4 times 10(exp -7) to 1.5 times 10(exp -6) cu mm/Nm was experienced at all test temperatures. The composite shows evidence of wear by fatigue mechanisms at 800 C and below. Tribochemical reaction (SiC oxidation and reaction of SiO2 and Al2O3) leads to intergranular failure at 1200 C. Distinct microstructural differences existing at each test temperature are reported

A subquadratic algorithm for 3XOR

Given a set $X$ of $n$ binary words of equal length $w$, the 3XOR problem asks for three elements $a, b, c \in X$ such that $a \oplus b=c$, where $\oplus$ denotes the bitwise XOR operation. The problem can be easily solved on a word RAM with word length $w$ in time $O(n^2 \log{n})$. Using Han's fast integer sorting algorithm (2002/2004) this can be reduced to $O(n^2 \log{\log{n}})$. With randomization or a sophisticated deterministic dictionary construction, creating a hash table for $X$ with constant lookup time leads to an algorithm with (expected) running time $O(n^2)$. At present, seemingly no faster algorithms are known. We present a surprisingly simple deterministic, quadratic time algorithm for 3XOR. Its core is a version of the Patricia trie for $X$, which makes it possible to traverse the set $a \oplus X$ in ascending order for arbitrary $a\in \{0, 1\}^{w}$ in linear time. Furthermore, we describe a randomized algorithm for 3XOR with expected running time $O(n^2\cdot\min\{\log^3{w}/w, (\log\log{n})^2/\log^2 n\})$. The algorithm transfers techniques to our setting that were used by Baran, Demaine, and P\u{a}tra\c{s}cu (2005/2008) for solving the related int3SUM problem (the same problem with integer addition in place of binary XOR) in expected time $o(n^2)$. As suggested by Jafargholi and Viola (2016), linear hash functions are employed. The latter authors also showed that assuming 3XOR needs expected running time $n^{2-o(1)}$ one can prove conditional lower bounds for triangle enumeration just as with 3SUM. We demonstrate that 3XOR can be reduced to other problems as well, treating the examples offline SetDisjointness and offline SetIntersection, which were studied for 3SUM by Kopelowitz, Pettie, and Porat (2016)
