The Green's function for potential theory
is developed for an axisymmetric void
of arbitrary shape located between two parallel walls.
Numerical results are given to demonstrate the
accuracy in the Green's function formulation
by comparison with numerical solutions
obtained using…

The Green's functions for the line force and dislocation that satisfy the traction
free boundary condition on the surfaces of arbitrary multiple straight cracks in the
isotropic solids are obtained. We develop the hybrid Green's functions combining
the analytical and…

Suggestibility regarding the biased estimations of Euro coins from alleged different countries was examined. It was predicted that images regarding different nations would affect these estimations. In an experimental between-subjects design, 160 German participants had to rate the size of…

Violence and aggressiveness are social concerns. Also, at a time of rising prevalence of obesity, many people tend to control their body weight through dieting. We analyzed the impact of weight loss on aggressiveness: 150 participants completed anonymously two questionnaires…

London and its multicultural arena provide the socio-geographical niche for the qualitative analysis of identity processes. In this report I explore the psychological strategies adopted by migrant gay men to manage multiple identities. Grounded theory was used to discover dominant…

Topic: The objective of this work is to devise a brief, practical, reliable and valid social desirability instrument for use in contexts where a short scale is useful for example in the assessment of social desirability factor in psychiatric patients.…

The positive psychological movement has played a more and more important role in the stage of psychology. Positive psychology emphasizes subject well-being and has three pillars: positive emotion, positive traits, and positive institutions. Chuang-tze was a notable thinker in the…
