We study the one-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation with an additional driving term representing, say, the effect of gravity. We find that the driving field E has an asymmetric effect on the solution for a single stationary domain wall (or ``kink''), the direction of the field determining whether the analytic solution…

Abstract A typical passenger sidewall composition was employed using three elastomer systems NR, BR, and a 50/50 blend of NR and BR. Tensile strips with edge cuts of various depths were strained in two ways continuously increasing extension up to rupture, or repeatedly stretching them to progressively higher strains u…

In the present study, with respect to TIG welding for a TiNi shape-memory alloy wire and sheet, the optimum welding schedule was decided based on the breaking load of the weld and its standard deviation. By performing the cyclic loading-unloading and heating-cooling tests in the neighborhood of the weld, the shape mem…

A new, rigorous model for solving three-dimensional light-scattering problems in the optical lithography process of semiconductor manufacturing is introduced. The new model employs a hybrid approach to solve Maxwell’s equations in the spatial frequency domain with the use of vector potentials. The model extends a succ…

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was used to fabricate T-phase tantalum diselenide (TaSe 2 ) nanocrystals with sizes ranging from 7 to more than 100 nanometers within the surface layer of 2H-TaSe 2 crystals at liquid helium temperature. Atomic-resolution images elucidate the structural changes between T- and H-ph…

Cell size and ascent rate were measured in individual short chains (2–8 cells) and single cells of positively buoyant marine diatoms from natural populations and cultures. Maximum ascent rates for Rhizosolenia formosa, Rhizosolenia acuminata, Rhizosolenia castracanei, Rhizosolenia debyana, and Ethmodiscus rex suggest…

UHF partial discharge detection in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) has advantages over the conventional method. For example, UHF PD detection allows the suppression of high frequency disturbances external to the GIS. UHF PD measurements have been compared with measurements using the conventional IEC 270 method under co…

In cubic polycrystals, combinations of coincidence orientation relationships at a triple junction of grains A, B and C can be obtained by using the equation ΣCA = ΣABΣBC/d2, where d is a common divisor of ΣAB and ΣBC. This paper describes the derivation of this equation and shows several models of polycrystals compose…

A thermoelectric cooling system usually consists of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and heat exchangers at the cold side and the hot side. Heat exchangers in TEC systems are designed to minimize their thermal resistance under restrictions such as the size of the system and heat transfer method, because as the thermal re…

The simple fact that electrical neutrality cannot be quickly restored in insulators submitted to electron bombardment leads to a change of the parameters of electron–specimen interaction [distortion of the ϕ(ρz) function] and to possible modifications of the composition of the specimen (mobile ion migration and desorp…

Abstract The pKa values and the 1H NMR spectra of tetraarylporphyrins in the presence of cyclodextrins suggest that the microscopic environment of the positively polarized cavity of cyclodextrin promotes the inclusion of the anionic guest and prohibits the penetration of the cationic guest into the cyclodextrin cavity.

The flow of a liquid crystal around a particle not only depends on its shape and the viscosity coefficients but also on the direction of the molecules. We studied the resulting drag force on a sphere moving in a nematic liquid crystal MBBA (4-methoxybenzlidene-${4}^{\ensuremath{'}}$-n-butylaniline) in a low Reynold's…
