This paper presents the effect of intercritical heat treatment (IHT) on the mechanical properties of AISI 3115 alloy steel. The steel was intercritically heat-treated at a temperature range of 730–830 ◦C followed by water quenching. The properties of tensile strength, fatigue, hardness and microstructure were evaluated from the mechanical tests

This study tests for the first time the validity of universality and normativity assumptions related to the attachment theory in a non-Western culture, using a novel design including psychiatric and non-psychiatric samples as part of a comprehensive exploratory and advanced confirmatory framework. Three attachment assessments were distributed to 21
