General Relativity, Mental Causation, and Energy Conservation.
J Brian Pitts
Jul 20, 2022
The conservation of energy and momentum have been viewed as undermining Cartesian mental causation since the 1690s. Modern discussions of the topic tend to use mid-nineteenth century physics, neglecting both locality and...

Identifying a large number of high-yield genes in rice by pedigree analysis, whole genome sequencing and CRISPR-Cas9 gene knockout

Repeated artificial selection of a complex trait facilitates the identification of genes underlying the trait, especially if multiple selected descendant lines are available. Here we developed a pedigree-based approach to...

Low defect and high electrical conductivity of graphene through plasma graphene healing treatment monitored with in situ optical emission spectroscopy.
Fundamental studies on graphene (Gr) and its real device applications have been affected by unavoidable defects and impurities which are usually present in synthesized Gr. Therefore, post treatment methods on Gr have been an...

Biodynamic modelling of seated human subjects exposed to uncouples vertical and fore-and-aft whole-body vibration
In this article, the biodynamic responses of seated human subjects (SHS) exposed to whole-body vibration (WBV) in both vertical and fore-and-aft directions are modelled. The mathematical model can be used to obtain a better...

An experimental investigation of car-trailer high-speed stability
Previous work on car-trailer stability has been largely limited to theoretical studies with some reference to practical experience or accident statistics. In this study, extensive and systematic experimental investigations were...

A new transform method II
Euan A Spence, A S Fokas
Jan 01, 0001
A new method for solving boundary-value problems (BVPs) for linear and certain nonlinear PDEs was introduced by one of the authors in the late 1990s. For linear PDEs, this method constructs novel integral representations (IRs)...

Combined steering and direct tilt control for the enhancement of narrow tilting vehicle stability
Narrow tilting vehicles offer an opportunity to reduce both traffic congestion and carbon emissions by having a small road footprint, a low weight and a small frontal area. Their narrow track requires that they tilt into corners...

Development of a tilt control method for a narrow-track three-wheeled vehicle
The space and weight savings provided by narrow tilting vehicles could make them a solution to the pollution and congestion problems seen in urban environments. The success of this new type of vehicle relies heavily on the...

Prediction of the pressure-flow characteristic of a Belleville washer-based damper valve
Flow control valves used in automotive suspension dampers are almost universally based upon the restriction of flow using Belleville washers. These washers can best be described as a non-flat washer of conical shape and uniform...
