Retóricas del tiempo, performance y algunas estrategias para una capitalización de lo efímero
Authors: Melgares Miguel Angel
Published: March 2021

En los últimos años, un gran número de instituciones artísticas se esfuerzan en traducir sensibilidades estéticas de tipo temporal en nuevas experiencias culturales. El creciente interés en adaptar los programas expositivos para la presentación tanto de viejos como de nuevos trabajos de performancedemarca esta clara evolución. Inmaterialidad, temporalidad e interacción directa con el público articulan nuevos mecanismos de producción cultural. En este contexto, si en la segunda mitad del siglo XX el arte del performancesurgió como una herramienta subversiva, que trataba de cuestionar el mercado y las instituciones culturales, la absorción y transformación de los performancesen un nuevo producto de consumo cultural generan una serie de problemáticas que afectan  su propia esencia. En este artículo, tratamos de analizar ciertos cambios en los valores ontológicos a partir de los que se construye la retórica del performance. La delicada relación entre las manifestaciones de arte efímero y su documentación alimenta un debate sobre la capacidad de los artistas del performancepara defender un discurso anticapitalista. En este sentido, analizamos ciertas estrategias metodológicas basadas en el uso de una temporalidad duracionalen el museo. Este aspecto nos lleva a plantear cierta objetualizacióndel cuerpo del performer, ya que se convierte en un documento vivo. Estos planteamientos están integrados en una estrategia cultural que podríamos definir como una capitalización de lo efímero.
La edición en arquitectura: cultura de la edición vs cultura del libro
Authors: Álvarez Paula V.
Published: March 2021

Aunque existe una extensa bibliografía sobre la cultura del libro de arquitectura y pese a que el mundo de las revistas de arquitectura ha despertado gran interés en años recientes, la cultura de la edición de arquitectura en su conjunto es un vasto territorio aún por descubrir como objeto de estudio. Las identificaciones recurrentes de la edición con la publicación o el diseño gráfico y editorial han creado una nube de equívocos que dificulta su problematización. Aportando unas primeras reflexiones sobre el fondo, el alcance y las implicaciones –así como la diferencia– de la edición de arquitectura en particular, este texto se acerca a ella a través de seis «definiciones» complementarias: la edición como forma, como lógica antagonista, como exigencia, como lugar, como ensamblaje y como ensayo. Concebidas como invariables a través de las cuales reconocer la especificidad de la edición más allá de las transformaciones tecnológicas de la industria editorial –desde la aparición de la imprenta hasta el desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías– y como guion para indagar en la especificidad de la edición de arquitectura en particular, estas aproximaciones buscan deshacer los mencionados equívocos, situándola y contextualizando sus aportaciones en el contexto más amplio de la edición como trabajo intelectual y labor cultural de poso histórico.

На моделях некоторых патологических состояний (ЦНС, кожи и кроветворной ткани) продемонстрирована эффективность реализации предлагаемой концепции фармакотерапии. Полученные результаты имеют основополагающее значение для создания принципиально новых таргетных лекарственных средств для терапии заболеваний дегенеративного характера.
Sociodesign of the generation continuity: theoretical and experimental approach
Authors: Spasennikov Valeriy
Published: March 2021

Various classifications of generations associated with historical and physical time are considered. It is shown that the culturological connection of modern Russian generations has a cyclical nature and can be investigated both at the macrolevel from the standpoint of economic sociology, and at the microlevel from the standpoint of economic psychology. The idea is substantiated that the sociodesign of the generation continuity is associated with mental attitudes and life-meaning values that are accepted and shared by different generations.

In the pilot study, students and their parents' meaningful values have been determined. Based on the analysis of a number of studies, some trends in forming the values of generation Z and recommendations for teaching generation Z in modern cultural and historical conditions have been identified.

An analytical solution to investigate the dynamic impact of a moving surface load on a shallowly-buried tunnel
Authors: Geng Xueyu
Published: March 2021

In order to investigate the dynamic impact of a moving surface load on a shallow-buried tunnel, an analytical model of a tunnel embedded in an elastic half-space was proposed. The half-space and the tunnel structure were modeled as visco-elastic media and the moving surface load was simplified as a moving point load on the ground surface. Based on the fundamental solution for the isotropic elastic half-space system in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates, the dynamic response of a shallowly-buried tunnel in a half-space generated by a moving surface load was obtained. The transformations between plane wave and cylindrical wave functions were used to facilitate the application of boundary conditions at the ground surface and the tunnel interface. It was found that the vibration of the shallowly-buried tunnel increases significantly as the load moving speed increases, and reaches a maximum value at a critical load velocity. The tunnel vibration can be greatly reduced as the buried depth increases, and can satisfy the requirement of vibration specification (ISO 04866-2010) after it exceeds the critical depth. The critical depth increases exponentially with the increase of the moving speed of the surface load.
Selection of Social Media Applications for Ubiquitous Learning using Fuzzy TOPSIS
Authors: Sam Caitlin
Published: March 2021

The exponential advancements in Information and Communications Technology has led to its prevalence in education, especially with the arrival of COVID-19. Ubiquitous learning (u-learning) is everyday learning that happens irrespective of time and place and it is enabled by m-learning, elearning, and social computing such as social media. Due to its popularity, there has been an expansion of social media applications for u-learning. The aim of this research paper was to establish the most relevant social media applications for ulearning in schools. Data was collected from 260 respondents, which comprised learners, and instructors in high schools who were asked to rank 14 of the top social media applications for ubiquitous learning. Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) was the method employed for the ranking of the 14 of the most popular social media applications using 15 education requirements, 15 technology criteria, and 260 decision makers. The simulation was implemented on MATLAB R2020a. The results showed that YouTube was the most likely social media application to be selected for u-learning with a closeness coefficient of 0.9188 and that Viber was the least likely selected social media application with a closeness coefficient of 0.0165. The inferences of this research study will advise researchers in the intelligent decision support systems field to reduce the time and effort made by instructors and learners to select the most beneficial social media application for u-learning

Published: March 2021

Plant diseases induce visible modifications on leaves with the advance of infection and colonization, thus altering their spectral reflectance pattern. In this study, we evaluated the visible spectral region of symptomatic leaves of five plant diseases: soybean rust (SBR), calonectria leaf blight (CLB), wheat leaf blast (WLB), Nicotiana tabacum-Xylella fastidiosa (NtXf), and potato late blight (PLB). Ten spectral indices were calculated from the RGB channels (red, green, and blue) of images of leaves varying in percent severity, which were obtained under controlled lighting and homogeneous background. Image processing was automated for background removal and pixel-level index calculation. Each index was averaged across pixels at the leaf level. We found high levels of correlation between leaf severity and the majority of the spectral indices. The most highly associated spectral indices were HUE, VARI, NGRDI, HI, and SCI. The leaf-level mean value of each of the ten indices and digital numbers on the RGB channels were gathered and used to train boosted regression trees models for predicting the leaf severity of each disease. Models for SBR, CLB, and WLB achieved high prediction accuracies (>97%) on the testing dataset (20% of the original dataset). Models for NtXf and PLB had prediction accuracies below 90%. The performance of each model may be directly related to the symptomatology of each disease. The method can be automated if the images are obtained under controlled light and homogeneous background, but improvements should be made in the method for using field- or greenhouse-acquired images which would require similar conditions.

ZNF365 is differentially expressed in lymph node metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that zinc finger protein 365, ZNF365, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Analysis of a separate microarray dataset revealed that ZNF365 was also differentially expressed in brain metastatic tissues. ZNF365 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of ZNF365 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient recurrence-free survival, in lymph node positive patients but not in lymph node negative patients. Modulation of ZNF365 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

FHOD3 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of FHOD3 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient overall survival, in lymph node negative patients but not in lymph node positive patients. Modulation of FHOD3 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Emotional mental imagery generation during spontaneous future thinking: relationship with optimism and negative mood
Authors: Ji Julie Lin , Murphy Fionnuala Catherine , Grafton Ben , MacLeod Colin , Holmes Emily A
Published: March 2021

Optimism is known to buffer against negative mood. Thus, understanding the factors that contribute to individual variation in optimism may inform interventions for mood disorders. Preliminary evidence suggests that the generation of mental imagery-based representations of positive relative to negative future scenarios is related to optimism. This study investigated the hypothesis that an elevated tendency to generate positive relative to negative mental imagery during spontaneous future thinking would be associated with reduced negative mood via its relationship to higher optimism. Participants (N = 44) with varied levels of naturally occurring negative mood reported current levels of optimism and the real-time occurrence and characteristics of spontaneous thoughts during a sustained attention computer task. Consistent with hypotheses, higher optimism statistically mediated the relationship between a higher proportional frequency of positive relative to negative mental imagery during spontaneous future thinking and lower negative mood. Further, the relationship between emotional mental imagery and optimism was found for future, but not past, thinking, nor for verbal future or past thinking. Thus, a greater tendency to generate positive rather than negative imagery-based mental representations when spontaneously thinking about the future may influence how optimistic one feels, which in turn may influence one’s experience of negative mood.
When the Ones We Love Misbehave: Exploring Moral Processes within Intimate Bonds
Authors: Forbes Rachel Chubak , Stellar Jennifer Ellen
Published: March 2021

How do we react when our romantic partners, friends, or family members behave unethically? When close others misbehave, it generates a powerful conflict between observers’ moral values and their cherished relationships. Previous research has almost exclusively studied moral perception in a social vacuum by investigating responses to the transgressions of strangers; therefore, little is known about how these responses unfold in the context of intimate bonds. Here we systematically examine the impact of having a close relationship with a transgressor on perceptions of that transgressor, the relationship, and the self. We predicted less negative emotional and evaluative responses to transgressors and smaller consequences for the relationship, yet more negative emotional and evaluative responses to the self when close others, compared to strangers or acquaintances, transgress. Participants read hypothetical wrongdoings (Study 1), recalled unethical events (Study 2), reported daily transgressions (Study 3; pre-registered), and learned of novel immoral behavior (Study 4) committed by close others or comparison groups. Participants reported less other-critical emotions, more lenient moral evaluations, a reduced desire to punish/criticize, and a smaller impact on the relationship (compared to acquaintances) when close others versus strangers or acquaintances transgressed. Simultaneously, participants reported more self-conscious emotions and showed some evidence of harsher moral self-evaluations when close others transgressed. Underlying mechanisms of this process were examined. Our findings demonstrate the deep ambivalence in reacting to close others’ unethical behaviors, revealing a surprising irony—in protecting close others, the self may bear some of the burden of their misbehavior. © 2021, American Psychological Association.

What you see is what you want to get: Perceived abilities outperform objective test performance in predicting mate appeal in speed dating
Authors: Hofer Gabriela , Burkart Roman , Langmann Laura , Neubauer Aljoscha
Published: March 2021

Are intelligent, creative, and emotionally competent people more desirable? Evolution-based theories and studies on the ideal partner suggest that they are. We aimed to assess whether verbal, numerical, and spatial intelligence, creativity, and intra- and interpersonal emotional competence are associated with higher real-life mate appeal. In speed dates, 87 women and 88 men met up to 14 members of the opposite sex (2188 observations). While only one measured ability—women’s creativity—was significantly associated with mate appeal, ability perceptions by speed-dating partners could broadly predict mate appeal. Effects of perceived and measured abilities were substantially reduced after controlling for physical attractiveness. These results suggest that the investigated abilities play a lesser role in initial attraction than proposed in the past.
Oscillatory correlates of selective restudy
Authors: Wirth Michael , Pastötter Bernhard , Bäuml Karl-Heinz
Published: March 2021

Prior behavioral work has shown that selective restudy of some studied items leaves recall of the other studied items unaffected when lag between study and restudy is short, but improves recall of the other items when lag is prolonged. The beneficial effect has been attributed to context retrieval, assuming that selective restudy reactivates the context at study and thus provides a retrieval cue for the other items (Bäuml, 2019). Here the results of two experiments are reported, in each of which subjects studied a list of items and then, after a short 2-min or a prolonged 10-min lag, restudied some of the list items. Participants’ electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded during both the study and restudy phases. In Experiment 2, but not in Experiment 1, subjects engaged in a mental context reinstatement task immediately before the restudy phase started, trying to mentally reinstate the study context. Results of Experiment 1 revealed a theta/alpha power increase from study to restudy after short lag and an alpha/beta power decrease after long lag. Engagement in the mental context reinstatement task in Experiment 2 eliminated the decrease in alpha/beta power. The results are consistent with the view that the observed alpha/beta decrease reflects context retrieval, which became obsolete when there was preceding mental context reinstatement.
Caring is Costly: People Avoid the Cognitive Work of Compassion
Authors: Scheffer Julian Andrew , Cameron Daryl , Inzlicht Michael
Published: March 2021

Compassion—the warm, caregiving emotion that emerges from witnessing the suffering of others—has long been considered an important moral emotion for motivating and sustaining prosocial behavior. Some suggest that compassion draws from empathic feelings to motivate prosocial behavior, while others try to disentangle these processes to examine their different functions for human pro-sociality. Many suggest that empathy, which involves sharing in others’ experiences, can be biased and exhausting, whereas warm compassionate concern is more rewarding and sustainable. If compassion is indeed a warm and positive experience, then people should be motivated to seek it out when given the opportunity. Here, we ask whether people spontaneously choose to feel compassion, and whether such choices are associated with perceiving compassion as cognitively costly. Across all studies, we found that people opted to avoid compassion when given the opportunity; reported compassion to be more cognitively taxing than empathy and objective detachment; and opted to feel compassion less often to the degree they viewed compassion as cognitively costly. We also revealed two important boundary conditions: first, people were less likely to avoid compassion for close (vs. distant) others, and this choice difference was associated with viewing compassion for close others as less cognitively costly. Second, in the final study we found that with more contextually enriched and immersive pleas for help, participants preferred to escape feeling compassion, though their preference did not differ from also escaping remaining objectively detached. These results temper strong arguments that compassion is an easier route to prosocial motivation.
Folk conceptions of free will: A systematic review and narrative synthesis of psychological research
Authors: Lam Alison
Published: March 2021

The existence of free will has been a subject of fierce academic debate for millennia, still the meaning of the term “free will” remains nebulous. In the past two decades, psychologists have made considerable progress in defining lay concepts of free will. We present the first systematic review of primary psychological evidence on how ordinary folk conceptualise free will, encompassing folk concepts, beliefs, intuitions, and attitudes about free will. A total of 1,384 records were identified following a pre-registered protocol. After abstract and full-text screening, 18 articles were eligible for inclusion, comprised of 36 studies and 10,176 participants from regions including the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Turkey, and Germany. A narrative synthesis of results showed that for ordinary folk, especially the more educated population from the United States, free will is a dynamic construct centred on the ability to choose following one’s goals and desires, whilst being uncoerced and reasonably free from constraints. Results suggesting metaphysical considerations regarding consciousness, dualism, and determinism were inconclusive. Our findings provided preliminary support for a psychological model of folk conception of free will, and elucidated potential pathways mediating the effects of consciousness and dualism on free will attributions. Further research is needed to explicate the distinction between having free will and having the ability to exercise free will, as well as the cross-cultural validity of findings on folk conceptions of free will.
The healthy, yet unhealthy choice: stereotypes about vegetarians and vegans in a meat-eating culture
Authors: Branković Marija , Budžak Anastasija
Published: March 2021

Stereotypes about vegetarians and vegans influence behavior toward these groups, as well as decisions about consumption of animal products in general, affecting the health and wellbeing of humans and other animals, as well as the environment. We extend the existing research with a study of stereotypes in a non-WEIRD meat-eating culture based on content analysis of open-ended responses (Study 1) and ratings on the competence and warmth dimensions (Study 2). We also sought to predict the positivity of stereotypes by the general attitude to animals, perception of vegetarianism as a threat to local traditions, and the anticipated moral reproach of vegetarians toward meat-eaters. We found that stereotypes about vegetarians are ambivalent, while stereotypes about vegans are more clearly negative, both to a greater extent among meat-eaters compared with vegetarians/vegans and among men compared with women. The open-ended responses were most frequently related to health, both good and poor health, and secondly to moral values, empathy, and commitment as well as unfavorable social traits. References to masculinity/femininity were not prominent in the spontaneous responses and neither was the general domain of competence, although both groups are ascribed relatively high competence when explicitly asked. While meat-eaters mostly relate vegetarianism and veganism to health, those who themselves are vegetarian or vegan most readily relate these choices to empathy and moral values, as well as free-mindedness. Perceptions of vegetarianism as a threat, as well as one’s general level of speciesism predicted stereotype positivity. We discuss how future cross-cultural research can benefit from the categories of traits we derived from the open-ended analysis and the implications of the findings for shaping public communications.
Multitasking and correction of false information
Authors: Szumowska Ewa , Czarnek Gabriela , Dragon Piotr , De keersmaecker Jonas
Published: March 2021

Research shows that high levels of media multitasking (either situationally induced or chronic) may be associated with a decreased cognitive function. Since cognitive capacity is required for efficient correction of one’s judgment after learning that the judgement base is no longer valid, we expected that high levels of media multitasking would decrease one’s ability to adequately update their beliefs. We ran two studies in which participants were asked to form an impression of a target person based on their online profile from a professional networking site. The profile contained either neutral information (control condition) or negative comment from a former supervisor which was later debunked (false information conditions). We additionally manipulated media multitasking demands (in Study 1) or measured participants’ frequency of media multitasking (Study 2) and tested whether the level of media multitasking is related to the degree to which the initial attitudes were adjusted after learning that the negative comment was false. We found a significant but rather small effect of manipulation in Study 1 indicating that participants in both multitasking conditions had more negative attitudes after correction compared to the baseline, but not to the mono-tasking condition. Crucially, media multitasking demands did not impact attitude adjustment. Results of Study 2 showed that the relationship between media multitasking frequency measured with a scale and attitude adjustment were non-significant. Overall, the current findings suggest that media multitasking, experimentally manipulated or chronic, plays a negligible role in correction after misinformation.
The Religious-Folklore Story of Talking Ant and Solomon: Its roots in natural behaviors of ant colonies
Authors: Besharati Mohammad Reza , Rouhani Mohammad Hasan
Published: March 2021

In the logic of the Qur'an and the hadiths, all animals and beings have intellect, understanding and consciousness, but we are unaware of that. Based on the hadiths and folklores, the ant of Solomon, has said very deep and wise things like a great scientist and philosopher. In a way that Prophet Solomon, who himself had a lot of knowledge, according to the hadiths, asked him to preach. Ants have an interesting and complex social life and these folklore stories could have a root in their natural abilities: In order to be able to continue their social life in this way, ants use various methods to communicate and coordinate among themselves.
The Discovery of the Periodic Table - the Chemical Revolution from Lavoisier to Mendeleev
Authors: Forrester Rochelle
Published: March 2021

This paper was written to investigate the order of discoveries made in chemistry leading up to the discovery of the periodic table. New experimental techniques, such as the pneumatic trough, voltaic pile, spectroscopy, and potassium analysis led to the discovery of many new elements and their properties which enabled the discovery of the periodic table. The discoveries led to the demise of the classical theory of the elements, to the end of the phlogiston theory and to the creation of the modern ideas of the elements and of the atomic theory. The paper shows the discoveries were made in a necessary and inevitable order with new experimental techniques leading to the discovery of new elements which eventually led to the discovery of the periodic table.

The article is about the key moments of the theory of post-operaist philosopher Paolo Virno in connection with the concepts of nonmaterial economy and general intellect. The theory of post-operaism is based on the judgment that, from the one hand, communication becomes the leading mean of production and increment of capital in the frame of Post-Fordist capitalism; from the other hand, communication as the mode of production of «common» can be the foundation for the labor autonomy from capital and emergence the new types of democracy. The borders between labor (poesis), political activity (praxis) and intellect (life of Mind) blur in the frame nonmaterial economy functioning. As a result, we have deal with the situation of politization of labor and highlighting the phenomenon of virtuosity as a key competence in the new type of capitalism. Connection between labor and politics moves the labor activity in to category of public action that build new understanding of publicity based on the mastery of language and communication. Marх’s sustained division of labor on productive and unproductive, where the last isn’t able to create surplus value, gets the new conceptualization in the frame of post-operaist theory. Contemporary communicative capitalism has shown that the intellectual worker-virtuoso can make surplus value in the frame of cultural industry development, the «life» labor serves the capital in such situation. But, at the same time, the virtuoso linguistic activity as the basis of nonmaterial economy can become the foundation for the new types of democracy, which differ from the project of neoliberal democracy, where labor gets the characteristics of political action and receives the autonomy from capital. The concept of labor as virtuoso political action based on the idea of interactive and communicative foundation of politics which can to create the new space of publicity using the communicative technologies. These technologies empower the realization of participatory democratic processes for the citizens in the frame of political life and provide type of political interaction which sets out the continuity of the process of production of common knowledge, ideas, communications, relationships and finance as the basis for the new type of democracy. All of that promote the manifestation of communist (production of «common») tendencies in cooperative functioning of knowledge, communication and capital.

Image segmentation is one of the first steps within the framework for processing scenes. Among the main existing techniques, we highlight the histogram-based binarization, which due to the simplicity of understanding and low computational complexity is one of the most used methods. However, for a multi-threshold process, this method becomes computationally costly. To minimize this problem, optimization algorithms are used to find the best thresholds. Recently, several algorithms inspired by nature have been proposed in a generic way in the area of combinatorial optimization and obtained excellent results, among which we highlight the more traditional ones such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Differential Evolution Algorithm (DE), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Firefly Algorithm (FA) and Krill Herd (KH). This work shows a comparison between some of these algorithms and more recent algorithms, from 2014, as Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) and Harris Hawks Optmization (HHO) . This work compared the thresholds obtained by 7 bio-inspired algorithms in a base composed of 100 images with 1 single object provided by the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS). The comparison was made using consolidated metrics like Dice/Jaccard and PSNR, as well the recent Hxyz. In the experiments were used the extensive system as an objective function (Kapurs´ Method). Still in the proposal of this experiment, the extensive system was compared with a Tsallis nonadditive entropy, with the Super-extensive system being configured with q ? [0.1, 0.2, . . . 0.9] and the Sub-extensive system with q ? [1.1, 1.2, . . . 1.9]. The image Database contains 100 images with only 1 object on scene. The results show that the Krill Herd (KH) algorithm was the winning algorithm in 35% of executions according to the PSNR metric, 28% in the Dice/Jaccard metric and 35% on the Hxyz metric. The extensive system had the best overall performance and was responsible for the best threshold of 54 images according to the metric PSNR, 30 according to the metric Dice/Jaccard and 39 according to the Hxyz metric

This work presents a systematic study on a commercial high electron mobility transistor based on the AlGaN / GaN heterostructure (GaN HEMT). The study evaluates its robustness to different radiation doses, more specifically, its robustness to the effects of the total ionizing dose (TID) irradiated from an X-ray source with an effective energy of 10 keV. The accumulated dose varies from up to 350 krad (Si). Therefore, for this purpose, three tests were performed on the commercial transistor, GS61008T. First, the acquisition of parameters: threshold voltage (VTH), Transconductance (gm), off current (Ioff) and sub-threshold slope (S) before, during and after exposure to radiation. Then, the switching test, where the rise (tr) and fall (tf) times were aquired, pre and post irradiation, in two diffrent frequency, 100 Hz and 100 kHz. Moreover, the temperature test, where the sample varied from 223 K (-50ºC) to 348 K (75 ºC) to evaluate its robustness for the temperature variation after having accumulated 350 krad (Si). In addition, for a better understanding of the effects of TID on the sample, all tests were performed in two different polarization modes. The on mode (VGS = 3 V and VDS = 0 V), and the off mode (VGS = VDS = 0 V). The characteristic electrical parameters of the transistor were extracted using the characteristic curves IDxVD, IDxVG and IDxt. Curves, that were obtained using National Instrument’s PXI, with programmable sources and an X-ray diffractometer. The results showed that for the devices analyzed, for this GaN COTS the effects resulting from ionizing radiation (TID), with doses up to 350 krad (Si), are minimal, and also showed a quick and effective recovery of their electrical characteristics after annealing at room temperature, especially when irradiated polarized at on mode. Therefore, indicating that they are good candidates for use in harsh environments, as is the case of aerospace environments, particle accelerators environments and nuclear reactors

Proses penyambungan logam dengan metode pengelasan gesek (friction welding) dimana logamnya tanpa melalui pencairan (solid state proces) yaitu proses pengelasan terjadi akibat adanya gesekan antara permukaan logam yang akan disambungkan dengan ketentuan ada minimal salah satu logam yang berputar. Gesekan yang terjadi akan menghasilkan panas yang dapat melumerkan kedua ujung logam hingga akhirnya akan menyatu. Adapun parameter penting dalam proses pengelasan gesek meliputi friction time, rotational speed, friction pressure, dan proses pengereman. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah; mengetahui pengaruh variasi beban terhadap kekuatan tarik hasil pengelasan gesek menggunakan baja karbon sedang, dan mengetahui perubahan kekuatan tarik baja karbon sedang hasil pengelasan gesek. Hasil pengujian dan perhitungan memperlihatkan bahwa semakin besar beban yang diberikan pada saat proses las gesek maka semakin besar pula tegangan tarik bahan (baja karbon rendah) dimana perbandingan yang terjadi adalah berbanding lurus seperti yang diperlihatkan dari hasil perhitungan. Tegangan tarik terendah diperoleh pada saat beban 4 kg yaitu 7,67 kN/mm2 sedangkan tegangan tarik terbesar diperoleh pada beban 8 kg yaitu 10,46 kN/mm2 dengan modulus elastisitas 48,29 Pa.
