Moderators of nonverbal indicators of deception: A meta-analytic synthesis.

In many legal proceedings, fact finders scrutinize the demeanor of a defendant or witness, particularly his or her nonverbal behavior, for indicators of deception. This meta-analysis investigated directly observable nonverbal correlates of deception as a function of different moderator variables. Although lay people and professionals alike assume that many nonverbal behaviors are displayed more frequently while lying, of 11 different behaviors observable in the head and body area, only 3 were reliably associated with deception. Nodding, foot and leg movements, and hand movements were negatively related to deception in the overall analyses weighted by sample size. Most people assume that nonverbal behaviors increase while lying; however, these behaviors decreased, whereas others showed no change. There was no evidence that people avoid eye contact while lying, although around the world, gaze aversion is deemed the most important signal of deception. Most effect sizes were found to be heterogeneous. Analyses of moderator variables revealed that many of the observed relationships varied as a function of content, motivation, preparation, sanctioning of the lie, experimental design, and operationalization. Existing theories cannot readily account for the heterogeneity in findings. Thus, practitioners are cautioned against using these indicators in assessing the truthfulness of oral reports.

A study on UV-curable coatings for HD-DVD: Primer and top coats

This study relates to the development of coatings for optical discs in high-density digital versatile disc systems (HD-DVD or blue lay disk) that use a high numerical aperture of 0.85 at 405 nm wavelength and have a protective top layer over a primer layer for protection against damage and dust. Ultraviolet-curable raw materials of two acrylic monofunctional monomers ( isobornylacrylate, IBA and tetrahydrofurfurylacrylate, THFA) and two kinds of urethaneacrylate oligomers (OUMD and OUME) have been easily mixed with photoinitiators. Curing rate of these materials was characterized by FT-IR. In case of top coats, VTES (vinyltriethoxysilane) and acrylic acid were added to enhance the abrasion resistance. These two kinds of UV-curable resinous materials having no solvent were synthesized and investigated as means for making a blue ray disk having good optical and mechanical properties. In addition, dynamic characteristics including reflectivity, fluctuation of RF signal and noise level were also investigated.

日本陪审员制度存在的问题及启示

日本于2009年正式在刑事审判中引入了陪审员制度。但是,陪审员制度的实施却招来了法律界人士和普通民众的反对。这主要是因为陪审员制度存在诸多问题,其实施可能会影响日本刑事法律制度的稳定,并带来新的不公平,同时也会增加民众的负担。因此,制定法律时,一定要考虑本国的实际情况,并做好充分的前期准备。

LayTracks: a new approach to automated geometry adaptive quadrilateral mesh generation using medial axis transform

A new mesh generation algorithm called ‘LayTracks’, to automatically generate an all quad mesh that is adapted to the variation of geometric feature size in the domain is described. LayTracks combines the merits of two popular direct techniques for quadrilateral mesh generation—quad meshing by decomposition and advancing front quad meshing. While the MAT has been used for the domain decomposition before, this is the first attempt to use the MAT, for the robust subdivision of a complex domain into a well defined sub‐domain called ‘Tracks’, for terminating the advancing front of the mesh elements without complex interference checks and to use radius function for providing sizing function for adaptive meshing. The process of subdivision of a domain is analogous to, formation of railway tracks by laying rails on the ground. Each rail starts from a node on the boundary and propagates towards the medial axis (MA) and then from the MA towards the boundary. Quadrilateral elements are then obtained by placing nodes on these rails and connecting them inside each track, formed by adjacent rails. The algorithm has been implemented and tested on some typical geometries and the quality of the output mesh obtained are presented. Extension of this technique to all hexahedral meshing is discussed.

深海卷管铺设中的管道安全性分析

深海卷管铺设过程中管道发生了复杂的塑性变形,可能造成管道的失效,因此需要对管道的安全性进行评估。为此,首先对卷管铺设整个过程中管道的受力变形情况进行了分析,发现管道在上卷至卷筒时最易发生失效。其次对上卷时管道可能发生的失效形式进行了归纳和分析,获得了管道在各种失效形式下的极限承载公式。然后基于位移控制条件,得到了管道的极限弯曲半径,并结合极限承载公式,建立了管道失效的评价指标。最后以管径为16英寸（406.4 mm）的管道为实例,对管道的安全性进行评估,并采用有限元软件对管道上卷时张力对管道椭圆度的影响进行了分析。结果表明：①较大径厚比的管道在上卷时更易于满足极限载荷承载条件,但是对管道截面变形不利,当径厚比达到20时,不满足位移控制条件,已不适用于卷管法铺设;②较高的管材等级对卷管铺设中管道安全性有利;③上卷张力对管道椭圆度的影响较小,可以忽略。
