A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF COGNITIVE ABILITY TILTLong, Douglas January 2023 (has links)
Cognitive ability tilt refers to individual differences in the relative strength of specific cognitive abilities, such as mathematical, spatial, verbal, and so forth. This has potential implications for individuals’ educational and occupational success, but has only recently attracted attention after decades of focus on general intelligence and full scale IQ. The current research is fragmented due to inconsistent terminology in earlier publications. Here, I conduct a systematic review of cognitive ability tilt research, with the aim of gathering and synthesizing the existing body of publications. I found 36 relevant publications, half of which focused on math and verbal ability. Several other varieties of ability tilt were identified and categorized. The significance of this research was discussed.

Advanced control strategies for tilting trainsZolotas, Argyrios C. January 2002 (has links)
The use of tilting bodies on railway vehicles is becoming increasingly widespread: a number of well-established services using tilt technology already exist around the world, and will appear again in the UK over the next year or so. The motivation for tilting railway vehicles is that they give a cost-effective means of achieving a substantial reduction in journey time by increasing the vehicle speed during curves. Early tilt controller designs were based upon local vehicle measurements, however at that time this approach did not prove very successful. Nowadays most European manufacturers use the so called ‘precedence' control scheme, utilising measurements from precedent vehicles to achieve ‘precedence' information. However, achieving a satisfactory local tilt control strategy is still an important research target because of the system simplifications and more straightforward failure detection. The thesis describes a comprehensive study of tilt control, and its aim is to employ advanced control techniques - based upon practical sensors - with the particular objective of identifying effective strategies which can be applied to each vehicle independently, i.e. without using precedence control. The sensors employed for control design are in particular mounted on the vehicle passenger coach. Most of the work has been undertaken using Matlab, and this has included a proper assessment of the ride quality issues.

Tilt-up construction and design evaluation and methodologySchuldes, Jesus Alberto 06 August 2012 (has links)
Tilt-up construction basically involves job-site prefabrication of concrete building members under controlled and relatively economical conditions. This master’s report presents tilt-up design procedures, along with construction procedures and planning at the job-site, erection, finishing and architectural treatments. It is intended to bring together the five steps of design, planning, construction, erection, and finishing which are crucial to a successful tilt-up project. / text

Measured and predicted rotordynamic coefficients and static performance of a rocker-pivot, tilt pad bearing in load-on-pad and load-between-pad configurationsCarter, Clint Ryan 02 June 2009 (has links)
This thesis presents the static and dynamic performance data for a 5 pad tilting pad bearing in both the load-on-pad (LOP) and the load-between-pad (LBP) configurations over a variety of different loads and speeds. The bearing tested was an Orion Advantage with direct lubrication exhibiting these specifications: 5 pads, .282 preload, 60% offset, 57.87° pad arc angle, 101.587 mm (3.9995 in) rotor diameter, .1575 mm (.0062 in) diametrical clearance, 60.325 mm (2.375 in) pad length. Dynamic tests were performed over a range of frequencies to observe any frequency effects on the dynamic stfffnesses. It was found that under most test conditions the direct real part of the dynamic stiffnesses could be approximated as quadratic functions of the excitation frequency. This frequency dependency is caused by pad inertia, pad flexibility, and fluid inertia. The observed frequency dependency can be accounted for with the addition of an added mass matrix to the conventional [K][C] matrix model to produce a frequency independent [K][C][M] model. This method eliminates the often debated question over whether a stability analysis should be performed at the running speed or at the first natural frequency. Substantially large added mass terms in the loaded direction were found that approached 60 kg. Some conditions for the LBP bearing exhibited unloaded direct mass coefficients that were at or near zero, which would lead to a frequency dependent [K][C] model to be used instead. The whirl frequency ratio was found to be zero at all test conditions. Static data were also recorded which included pad temperatures, attitude angle, eccentricity, static stiffness and power loss. Some cross coupling in the form of deviation from the loaded axis was evident from the locus plots; however, the cross coupled stiffness coefficients were found to be very small relative to the direct stiffness coefficients. Both static and dynamic experimental results were compared to theoretical predictions via a bulk flow analysis. Most parameters were modeled well including the static eccentricity e dynamic direct stiffness coefficients Kxx and Kyy, which were slightly over predicted. However, the direct damping coefficients Cxx and Cyy were significantly over predicted.
