Steady thermocapillary flows in cylindrical containers with unit aspect ratio (radius = depth) are studied numerically and by scaling analysis in order to investigate how the velocity and thermal fields are influenced by the method of heating. Two heating modes are considered: heating by a uniform temperature cylindri…

Experimental data from ultrasonic and inelastic neutron scattering measurements are analyzed for different families of Cu-based shape-memory alloys. It is shown that the transition occurs at a value, independent of composition and alloy family, of the ratio between the elastic constants associated with the two shears…

The simple die‐pressing technique has been used to fabricate thick‐layer zirconia/alumina ceramic laminates in the forms of film/substrate and multilayer systems. A “vibration sieve” method is used to achieve uniform layer thickness. In order to suppress surface crack initiation and propagation, the laminates are desi…

A 3.6-kb EcoRI-SalI fragment of Paracoccus denitrificans DNA hybridized with a DNA probe carrying the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) synthase gene (phaC) of Alcaligenes eutrophus. Nucleotide sequence analysis of this region showed the presence of a 1,872-bp open reading frame (ORF), which corresponded to a polypeptide…

The effect of poly(vinyl alcohol) adsorption on segregation was quantitatively studied by a model experiment of one–dimension drying and simulated by a mathematical model. It was clear that the adsorption of PVA on alumina particle was a slow process, and the adsorbed binder was not desorbed at higher temperature. PVA…

Thin poly(phenylene sulphide) foils were bombarded with fast atomic ions ${(}^{4}$He, $^{12}\mathrm{C}$, $^{16}\mathrm{O}$, $^{32}\mathrm{S}$, $^{79}\mathrm{Br}$, $^{127}\mathrm{I}$) in the energy range between 2.5 to 78 MeV. In order to maintain the same ion track size for all impacting ions, their initial velocity w…

Autologous grafts are superior to their synthetic counter-parts for grafting arteries smaller than 6-mm diameter both in terms of acute thrombogenicity and chronic intimal hyperplasia. Endothelial cell (EC) coating of the blood contacting surface may reduce thrombogenicity of synthetic small diameter vascular prosthes…

The order–disorder transition (ODT) and the ordering kinetics have been studied in two symmetric diblock copolymers of styrene and isoprene and their binary mixtures with rheology. The binary mixtures formed a single microdomain (with lamellar morphology) composed of short and long chains as confirmed by small angle x…

Abstract A theoretical basis for the prediction of the properties of mixtures of virgin and reprocessed polymers is presented. The concept is developed using equations that describe the loss of polymer properties as a function of processing cycles. These equations correspond to properties that are important in charact…

The stress‐strain behavior of a continuous‐fiber‐reinforced ceramic matrix composite has been measured over a wide range of loading rates (0.01 to 500 MPa/s). It was found that the loading rate has a strong effect on almost every feature of the stress‐strain curve: The proportionality stress, the composite strength an…

Abstract A series of twelve mononuclear ortho ‐palladated complexes incorporating a Schiff base and a β‐diketone ligand have been synthesised. These compounds have four nonequivalent terminal chain positions and differ in the number and position(s) of chiral chains [( R )‐2‐methylheptyl] in the structure. A study of t…

Abstract Rectangular plates were injection molded from two grades of commercial polypropylene (PP) differing in the molar mass distribution. The mold was mechanically sealed when a desired pressure p i ,max (up to 1560 bar) was reached. Samples were taken from each plate at different distances from the gate and were i…

We succeeded in further improvement of the stability of 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH) from an extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus, by a suppressor mutation method. We previously constructed a chimeric IPMDH consisting of portions of thermophile and mesophile enzymes. The chimeric enzyme is less thermos…

The profound influence of low‐temperature processing steps, hitherto assumed benign from the viewpoint of texture development, is reported. On inclusion of a 400°C step and further heat treatment at 700°C, PZT (40/60) sol‐gel thin films with a strong (111) texture were obtained. When the 400°C step was excluded, the f…
