Sense of Coherence and Physical Health. Testing Antonovsky's Theory by Trine Flensborg-Madsen, Søren Ventegodt, Joav Merrick

“…According to Antonovsky’s famous hypothesis, a strong association should be found between SOC and physical health, but surprisingly, we found that the new scale was falsifying the hypothesis, with a correlation between SOC and physical health of only r = 0.044 (NS). However, a highly significant correlation was found with psychological health with r = 0.502 (p = <0.0005). …”

Kinetics of Solidification and Crystallization of Liquid Axial Zone of Fe-C Alloys in Cylindrical Molds by V. Khrychikov, O. Semenov, Y. Aftandiliants, S. Gnyloskurenko, T. Semenova, H. Meniailo

“…According to the results of digitization of the experimental studies carried out in the past concerning Fe-C alloys solidification in cylindrical molds of castings with a carbon content of 0.04%, 0.1%, 0.4%, 0.93%, 1.42%; 2.44%, 3.28%, 4.45%, 4.83% and their subsequent interpolation in the range of 0.04 ÷4.83% С there were obtained the curves of the advancement of the pour point, liquidus and solidus in the coordinates of the relative thickness of the solidified metal layer x/R and the parametric criterion τ/R2. Their usage is proposed for the development of modes of physical and chemical influence on the liquid metal in the axial zone of the casting after solidification of its calculated layer. …”
