TL;DR: This article showed that comprehension performance was superior to production performance only when the scoring artifact was present, and that no significant differences between scores on the comprehension and production tasks were found between the two tasks.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general class of 2m-th order nonlinear boundary value problems are developed in spaces of polynomial splines of degree 2m+1 by requiring the residual to be orthogonal to a class of splines over the same mesh.
Abstract: Approximations to the solutions of a general class of 2m-th order nonlinear boundary value problems are developed in spaces of polynomial splines of degree 2m+1 by requiring the residual to be orthogonal to a class of polynomial splines of degree 2m?1 over the same mesh. Conditions are given for existence and uniqueness of approximations along with theoretical error rates. In some cases these rates are shown to be of the same order as the best approximation to the solution over the approximating spline spaces. Some computational notes and the results of numerical experiments are also given.

TL;DR: In this article, the principal modal equation of vibration was used to analyze the stability of a slider-crank mechanism with an elastic connecting rod and found that stability depends on three non-dimensional parameters -length ratio, mass ratio, and rigidity speed ratio.
Abstract: Small-amplitude flexural vibration of a slightly deformable binary link in a planar linkage is governed by a fourth-order parabolic partial differential equation. Specifically, for a slider- crank mechanism with an elastic connecting rod, stability charts are obtained via analog simulation on the basis of the principal modal equation of vibration. It is found that stability of the mechanism depends on three nondimensional parameters - length ratio, mass ratio, and rigidity-speed ratio. The procedure of dynamic stability analysis via analog simulation for the slider-crank may be applied to other planar linkages with elastic binary links.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of three butyl alcohols were associated with a molecular geometry which interferes with a solution structuring factor, which is present in dilute aqueous solutions of these alcohols as well as in solutions of all saturated, monohydric alcohols which are miscible in all proportions with water.

TL;DR: For example, this article found that Thai students demonstrated more cross-cultural similarity for abstract concepts than for social roles compared with American students, and that abstract concepts were more related to social roles than social roles.
Abstract: 207 Thai college students made nonverbal responses to show their attitudes toward 5 abstract concepts and 5 social roles. Compared with American students (tested in the same way) Thai students demonstrated more cross-cultural similarity for abstract concepts than for social roles.
