Abstract:
When do we judge that someone was forced to do what they did? One relatively well-established finding is that subjects tend to judge that agents were not forced to do actions when those actions violate norms. A surprising discovery of Young & Phillips 2011 is that this effect seems to disappear when we frame the relevant ‘force’-claim in the active rather than passive voice ('X forced Y to φ' vs. 'Y was forced to φ by X'). Young and Phillips found a similar contrast when the scenario itself shifts attention from Y (the forcee) to X (the forcer). We propose that these effects can be (at least partly) explained by way of the role of attention in the setting of quantifier domains which in turn play a role in the evaluation of ‘force’- claims. We argue for this hypothesis by way of an experiment which shows that sequences of active vs. passive ‘force’-claims display the characteristic “stickiness” of quantifier domain expansion, using a paradigm which we argue provides a useful general paradigm for testing quantifier domain hypotheses. Finally, we sketch a semantics for ‘force’ which we argue is suitable for capturing these effects.

Abstract:
Due to the small feed rate used in micro-machining, ploughing force needs to be considered in addition to the chip formation force. A new analytical model has been proposed to calculate cutting forces of micro-grinding process based on the process configuration, work piece material properties, and micro-grinding tool topography. The proposed approach allows the calculation of cutting force comprising both the chip formation force and ploughing forcec considering single grain interaction.

Abstract:
A new analytical model to predict the aerodynamic forces in axial flow compressors due to asymmetric tip-clearance is introduced. The model captures the effects of tip-clearance induced distortion (i.e., forced shaft whirl), unsteady momentum-induced tangential blade forces, and pressure-induced forces on the spool. Pressure forces are shown to lag the tip-clearance asymmetry, resulting in a tangential (i.e., whirl-inducing) force due to spool pressure. This force can be of comparable magnitude to the classical Alford force. Prediction and elucidation of the Alford force is also presented. In particular, a new parameter denoted as the blade loading indicator is deduced. This parameter depends only on stage geometry and mean flow and determines the direction of whirl tendency due to tangential blade loading forces in both compressors and turbines. All findings are suitable for incorporation into an overall dynamic system analysis and integration into existing engine design tools. [S0889-504X(00)01604-4]

Abstract:
Understanding force generation in nonequilibrium systems is a notable challenge in statistical physics. We uncover a fluctuation-induced force between two plates immersed in homogeneous isotropic turbulence using direct numerical simulations. The force is a nonmonotonic function of plate separation. The mechanism of force generation reveals an intriguing analogy with fluctuation-induced forces: In a fluid, energy and vorticity are localized in regions of defined length scales. When varying the distance between the plates, we exclude energy structures modifying the overall pressure on the plates. At intermediate plate distances, the intense vorticity structures (worms) are forced to interact in close vicinity between the plates. This interaction affects the pressure in the slit and the force between the plates. The combination of these two effects causes a nonmonotonic attractive force with a complex Reynolds number dependence. Our study sheds light on how length scale–dependent distributions of energy and high-intensity vortex structures determine Casimir forces.

Full text
Abstract:
In low pressure turbine stages, adjacent blades are coupled to each other at their tip by covers, called shrouds. Three-dimensional periodic contact forces at shrouds strongly affect the blade vibration level as energy is dissipated by friction. To validate contact models developed for the prediction of nonlinear forced response of shrouded blades, direct contact force measurement during dynamic tests is mandatory. In case of shrouded blades, the existing unidirectional and bi-directional contact force measurement methods need to be improved and extended to a tri-directional measurement of shroud contact forces for a comprehensive and more reliable validation of the shroud contact models. This demands an accurate and robust measurement solution that is compatible with the nature and orientation of the contact forces at blade shrouds. This study presents a cost effective and adaptable tri-directional force measurement system to measure static and dynamic contact forces simultaneously in three directions at blade shrouds during forced response tests. The system is based on three orthogonal force transducers connected to a reference block that will eventually be put in contact with the blade shroud in the test rig. A calibration process is outlined to define a decoupling matrix and its subsequent validation is demonstrated in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the measurement system to measure the actual contact forces acting on the contact.

Abstract:
Friction is one of the types of interaction between bodies. It occurs when two bodies touch. The forces acting between the surfaces of contacting solids are called dry friction forces. They are always directed tangentially to the touching surfaces and are divided into the forces of friction at rest, sliding and rolling. The friction forces depend on many factors that accompany the movement of bodies in the presence of friction. In this regard, the description of friction forces is possible only with the help of empirically found approximate laws, which are often quite rough. The rest friction force is a variable value, it can change from zero to a certain maximum value. By applying a force to the body that exceeds the maximum resting friction force, we will move the body from its place, and it will begin to move. The article considers examples of motion in which the friction force can be mistakenly interpreted as a driving force. The nature of the forces of friction at rest and rolling is considered from the perspective of modern physical materials science.

Abstract:
L’étude s’inscrit dans la continuité des travaux de la sociologie pragmatique concernant les régimes d’engagement dans l’action. Elle vise à compléter l’architecture des compétences au jugement et à l’action des personnes par la modélisation d’un régime d’action stratégique. Il s’agit d’étudier ce régime dans son économie interne et dans ses rapports avec d’autres régimes d’engagement en le considérant comme un appui pour dénoncer et justifier. L’enquête mobilise différentes ressources qui travaillent ensemble à la production des catégories de description et d’analyse. En premier lieu, l’étude s’appuie sur le corpus théorique de la sociologie pragmatique et de la sociologie de la dispute. Ensuite, c’est une lecture de l’œuvre de N.Machiavel entendue comme grammaire politique de l’action stratégique qui est activée. Enfin, deux enquêtes empiriques communiquent avec ces travaux. L’une concerne des dispositifs d’impartition logistique dans le commerce électronique aux particuliers. La seconde observe le travail de représentation d’une entreprise électorale en campagne.Le régime d’action stratégique est un principe de perception et de structuration des actions et des situations qui s’appuie sur un principe d’équivalence en puissance. Les situations sont constituées de rapports de force qui se nouent autour de biens à conserver ou acquérir. La mesure des situations comme des relations de puissance permet de réduire l’incertitude sur l’action à entreprendre, d’ordonner les situations et d’opérer une distribution des biens. La virtù est la compétence des personnes à l’action stratégique, elle leur permet de s’engager dans ces situations
This study falls within the focus of research on pragmatic sociology concerning engagement schemes of action. This thesis sets out to compliment the competence to judge and the actions by person through a strategic action regime modelisation system. This involves examining this regime within the internal economy and its relation with other schemes of engagement which can be considered as a resource to denounce and justify.This inquiry employs different resources which impact the production of different categories of analysis and description. First of all, the study is based on the body of theory in pragmatic sociology and disagreements postulated in sociology. Secondly, a focus on the work of N. Machiavelli, equated with political grammar of strategic action. Followed, by an analysis of two empirical surveys linked to the research themes treated. The first survey concerns the planning related to logistical sub-contracting in the electronical commercial domain. The second survey, analyses the work concerning the representation of an electoral enterprise campaign.The strategic action of regime is a lens to analyze and construct a framework of the actions and situations which are based on the principles of equity of power. The situations consist of power struggles aimed to keep or conserve that which is good. The evaluation of situations such as power relations facilitate the reduction of uncertainty in carrying out actions, in order to classify the situations and proceed to distribution of goods. Virtù refers to the competence of people in strategic actions which facilitate engagement in strategic situation

Abstract:
L'inexécution de l'obligation par le débiteur constitue un moment crucial dans la « vie » de l'obligation. La force de l'obligation à apporter des remèdes efficaces au créancier se pose avec le plus d'acuité à cet instant. Analyser l'obligation sous l'angle de son efficacité concrète conduit à un constat immédiat. La force obligatoire, omniprésente dans le régime de l'obligation, se voit attribuer une fonction dont l'effectivité est, pourtant, dans le contexte de l'inexécution, résiduelle. Inefficace, à cet instant, la force obligatoire ne saurait, en aucune manière, constituer le fondement de la sanction de l'obligation par l'exécution forcée. Mais, sans lui retirer toute utilité, la force obligatoire permet de causer le paiement spontané de l'obligation en dehors de tout conflit lié à l'exécution. En revanche, tant la définition de sanction que celle de contrainte évoquent la notion de force et d'exécutoire. La force exécutoire embrasse l'obligation dès lors qu'est entreprise l'obtention de son efficacité économique consécutivement au constat de son inexécution. La prise en compte de l'obligation dans le régime exécutoire invite à penser la notion de force exécutoire au-delà de son sens traditionnel : la force exécutoire ne se définit pas exclusivement comme une compétence. Ainsi, matérialisée dans un titre exécutoire, la force exécutoire est, et au delà d'une simple condition de ce titre, une force en rapport avec l'obligation. L'efficacité de la sanction de l'exécution forcée dépend entièrement de l'effectivité de la force exécutoire dont est assorti le titre exécutoire. Le titre exécutoire ne constitue pas un simple instrumentum assorti de la force probante des actes authentiques et de la formule exécutoire, il est aussi un negotium dont l'obligation exécutoire est un élément.Aucune exécution forcée ne peut être poursuivie en l'absence de titre exécutoire, aucun titre exécutoire ne peut être mis en oeuvre sans obligation exécutoire
The breach of duty by the debtor is a crucial moment in the "life" of the obligation. The force of the obligation to provide effective remedies to the creditor arises with the more acute at this time. Analyze the obligation in terms of its practical effectiveness leads to an immediate conclusion. The obligatory (or binding) force that permeates the system of obligation , is assigned a function whose effectiveness is , however, in the context of the failure , residual . Ineffective , at this moment, the binding force is not, in any way, the basis of assent required by enforcement . But without withdrawing this force any utility, binding force can cause spontaneous payment of the obligation without any conflict related to execution. However, both the definition of punishment that duress evoke the concept of force and enforceability. Enforceable obligation, therefore, appears when economic efficiency is searching consecutively to a finding of non-performance. Taking into account the obligation in its forceable systemen prompt to think the concept of enforceability beyond its traditional meaning : the enforceability is not defined exclusively as a skill. Thus, embodied in an enforceable act , enforceability is, and beyond a simple condition of this act, a force in relation to the obligation. The effectiveness of enforcement depends entirely on the effectiveness of the enforceability of which is attached to the writ of execution. The enforcement act is not a simple instrumentum matching the probative value of authentic instruments and its enforcement, but it is also a negotium, which enforcable obligation is an element.No execution can be implemented in the absence of enforceable , no enforceable act can be implemented without enforceable obligation

Abstract:
Le contentieux contractuel éclate lorsque l'une des parties n'exécute plus ou pas ses obligations. La préoccupation essentielle en matière contractuelle, consiste à lutter contre une rupture abusive et arbitraire du contrat. La particularité du droit civil français en matière de rupture du contrat, est la place très importante qu'occupe le juge judiciaire. L'assurance de la protection des intérêts des parties et la garantie d'une sanction juste et équitable, reposent en effet, sur les épaules du juge. Il est par conséquent inconcevable que le juge soit écarté du jeu de la rupture contractuelle. L'orientation traditionnelle a toujours fait du juge un pilier dans le domaine de la séparation contractuelle, mais cette tendance commence quelque peu à se dissiper. Le juge doit toujours jouer un rôle très important en droit des contrats en général et dans sa rupture en particulier. Une protection efficace des parties donnerait à l'intervention du juge une utilité plus importante. Il est primordial, que le juge soit un acteur, en matière de rupture contractuelle, dont le rôle serait la garantie du respect des lois et la protection complète des parties ; le cas contraire, pourrait réduire alors la portée du code civil actuel à un simple catalogue de lois régissant l'anéantissement du contrat
Contractual litigation arises when one of the parties fails to fulfill its obligations. Its main concern is to fight against abusive and arbitrary breach of contracts. In the French civil law, the judge occupies a very important place when debating breach of contracts. It is impossible to alienate the judge when it comes down to contract breaches. In fact, he insures that the interests of every concerned party are protected. He also guarantees that fair and equitable sanctions will be applied. Traditionally, the judge was very important when discussing breach of contracts. However, this trend is beginning to dissipate. In general, the judge plays a very important role in contract law, but his role is primordial when disputing contract termination. Effective protection of the parties would give the intervention of the judge a greater utility. It is essential that the judge remains an important actor when it comes to breach of contract as his role is to guarantee that the law is respected and that every party is adequately protected. On the contrary, it could reduce the importance of the current Civil Code to a mere catalog of laws governing the annulment contracts

Abstract:
The following is an original screenplay about Maturity set in the mode of a Summer Romance. It is structured like the classic Joseph Campbell Monomyth. However, it offers a commentary on the unchanging nature of people by utilizing non-linear storytelling and inverting the typical hero’s journey narrative by having the protagonist end up, more or less, where he began. Key moments and story beats are taken from classic hero’s journeys and refashioned to fit the scale and time periods. Collin Williams does not cross the threshold into a magical new land but instead into the fantastical realm of Rock and Roll, he does not vanquish his foe by the sword, and he does not save a beautiful maiden, but the story is structured so that these events are adapted into their more logical real world parallels. All the while he is tempted by his love interest Liz and belittled by the “too cool for school” Billy James. Characters are molded from universal archetypes including the sage, jester, warrior, and king. Each has an arc that illuminates how these one dimensional approaches to life come into conflict with maturity. The screenplay takes advantage of the multi-tiered method of storytelling unique to cinema through heavy and deliberate inclusion of specific sounds and music. Repeated visual motifs and symbols also feature prominently with references to other revered journeys of self discovery and lifestyle philosophies.

Full text
Abstract:
An isometric, zero-order, two-dimensional pursuit tracking task utilizing a tracking path that incorporated both linear and circular segments was used to examine the effects of variation in force magnitude, force direction, and direction of target movement upon tracking performance. A contralateral force-matching procedure was also employed to assess the effects of variation in force level and force direction upon force discrimination capabilities. Increases in force demand were hypothesized to result in degradation of both force discrimination capabilities and accuracy of tracking performance. Variation in force direction was hypothesized to result in tracking performance degradation and force discrimination deterioration that were inversely related to strength-related differences associated with each direction. It was hypothesized that linear tracking performance during inward (force-decreasing) movement of the target would be superior to linear tracking performance in the outward (force-increasing) direction. Finally, it was hypothesized that the direction-sensitive strength:demand ratio, SDR, (a measure of the relationship between strength and the magnitude of force demand) would correlate with both tracking performance and force discrimination measures and that force discrimination measures would correlate with tracking performance. The findings robustly supported the hypothesized Force Level effect. The strength-related Force Direction effects were also supported, but somewhat less consistently than those for Force Level. As also hypothesized, linear inward tracking was superior to linear outward tracking. Previously unreported direction-of-movement effects were found for the circular tracking conditions. When measured along the path, clockwise (CW) tracking was superior to counterclockwise (CCW) tracking with the differences being greatest at the higher force level and in the longitudinal (forward and aft) directions. CCW tracking was superior to CW tracking when measured orthogonal to path. The hypothesized correlations among SDR, two of the three force discrimination measures, and tracking performance were found to be small but significant.

Full text
Abstract:
Interactions at the nanoscale are governed almost exclusively by electromagnetic forces, but the interplay between different scaling laws produces a vast array of behaviours. We investigate radically different systems spanning almost three orders of magnitude of length scales, and use a variety of experimental techniques to determine the forces present in each regime, and the interplay between them. An important prototypical surface in SPM science has been the Si(100) surface, which due to it’s unstable buckling and complex electronic structure has fostered considerable debate in the surface science community. We have used small amplitude, high sensitivity combined qPlus STM/AFM to investigate tip -- sample interactions on the Si(100) surface at low-temperature in UHV, with a focus on the chemical, and electronic properties of the system and how these are modified by the probe. We present the first atomic resolution combined force/tunnel current results on the surface and show that great care must be taken in interpreting either pure AFM or pure STM data. We also examine tip -- sample interactions on arrays of thiol passivated spin-cast nanoparticles in both UHV and ambient conditions and show for the first time how minor modifications to the experimental parameters can radically alter the data collected, most likely due to the thiol -- surface -- tip interaction. We also present SKPM and voltage spectroscopy of the same samples and show the importance of electrostatic interactions in correct height determination of these network arrays, in parallel with the caution that must be maintained in interpreting CPD data. A key mechanism for the manipulation of meso-scale objects in solution is Dielelectrophoresis, which offers strong material and size specificity and a high degree of spatial control. In the final experimental chapter we investigate the effect of inhomogenous electric fields on nanoparticles in aqueous solution, and reveal how previously uninvestigated electrochemical effects can become important even at high frequencies, and may offer a new and exciting route for the control of self organised nanowires in solution.

Full text
Abstract:
The United States Air Force (USAF) has downsized an average of 10,000 active duty personnel each year from 1990 to 2010. Despite this downsizing, the mission remains the same, which increases the workload on the remaining airmen, lowers morale, decreases specialization, changes the mindset/culture, accelerates promotion rates, and shifts the dependence on technology in the Security Forces career field. The USAF needs adequately sized and proficient members to meet its mission. This phenomenological study examined the effects of USAF downsizing on the USAF Security Forces career field. The great man theory, social learning theory, theory of expertise, and Maslow's hierarchy of needs provided the conceptual framework. Semistructured interviews were gathered with a purposeful sample of 24 retired Security Forces members, near Air Combat Command bases; data were then analyzed through the Moustaukas modified van Kaam technique. The themes from this study were the cycle of downsizing; increased workload despite decreased number of personnel, also known as "more with less"; an accelerated promotion rate; and dependence on technology. The primary finding suggested the need for specialization and consistency of technology used. Further research on downsizing based on budgetary constraints, awareness of the loss of specializations after downsizing, and communication while downsizing could expand the findings of this study. The results of this study can be used by all leadership facing budgetary constraints and technology upgrades. Social change could ensue if leadership observes the cultural changes that occur when choosing to downsize and merge.

Abstract:
It is probably fair to say that the field of cell mechanics emerged with the pioneering work of Harris et al. [1], who observed that cells grown on thin silicone sheets generated wrinkling patterns — unfortunately, quantifying the forces at the cellular level was virtually impossible with their system. Almost two decades later, the study of cell mechanics began in earnest when Pelham and Wang [2] introduced a more rigorous method for quantifying individual cell-generated forces that quickly became known as cell traction force microscopy (CTFM), some form of which is now used in cell mechanics labs around the world. The basic idea underlying the original CTFM method is that the forces generated by cells can be calculated by solving an inverse problem for the displacement field experimentally measured by tracking microspheres embedded in a thin elastic substratum (typically polyacrylamide gel) on which the cells are cultured.
