We examine the evolution of the refractive index modulation when recording gratings in an acrylamide based photopolymer. A nonlocal diffusion model is used to predict theoretically the grating evolution. The model has been developed to account for both nonlocal spatial…

Melanie Peter, Senior Lecturer in Education and Early Childhood at Anglia Ruskin University, argues that the ability to engage in narrative stems from early interactive play formats and is essential for perceiving patterns and sequences in life – the fabric…

In this paper we present a novel approach to assigning roles to robots in a team of physical heterogeneous robots. Its members compete for these roles and get rewards for them. The rewards are used to determine each agent’s preferences…

In our study we compared the psychology immuncompetence values of two groups. The participants are former kayak-canoe sportsmen, and teachers who don’t do any sports. 50 former sportsmen and 50 teachers participated in our study. The participants filled four questionnaires.

In this paper, a novel model for monolingual Information Retrieval in English and Spanish language is proposed. This model uses Natural Language Processing techniques (a POS-tagger, a Partial Parser, and an Anaphora Resolver) in order to improve the precision of…

The analytical approximate technique developed by Wu et al. for conservative oscillators with odd nonlinearity is used to construct approximate frequency-amplitude relations and periodic solutions to the relativistic oscillator. By combining Newton's method with the method of harmonic balance, analytical…

The electrocatalytic oxidation of ferrocene (Fc) at neutral pH in aqueous solution has been studied over thin films of electroactive sulfonated polyaniline (SPAN) by cyclic voltammetry. Strong adsorption of the oxidised species (ferrocenium ion) on the polymer arises as the…

The kinetics of the global thermal decomposition of a PET fibre cloth have been studied in three different atmospheres with nitrogen, 20 and 10% oxygen, using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) between room temperature and 1050 K. Three different heating rates were…

The harmonic balance method is used to construct approximate frequency–amplitude relations and periodic solutions to the relativistic oscillator. By combining linearization of the governing equation with the harmonic balance method, we construct analytical approximations to the oscillation frequencies and periodic…
