Direct numerical simulation is used to examine the rheological properties of an emulsion of leaky dielectric fluids when an electric field is applied to the system. The emulsion consisting of neutrally buoyant drops is immersed in a simple shear flow where an electric potential difference is applied between the plates…

The problem of finding the asymptotic behavior of the maximal density ϕmax of sphere packings in high Euclidean dimensions is one of the most fascinating and challenging problems in discrete geometry. One century ago, Minkowski obtained a rigorous lower bound on ϕmax that is controlled asymptotically by 1∕2d, where d…

Ion irradiation is well suited to simulate neutron irradiation because primary knock-on atoms (PKA) produced by neutron collisions are self ions of the target. As the main difference, the energy spectrum of ion-produced PKAs is somewhat broader than in the case of fast neutrons. Studies of the combined effects of targ…

Abstract The effect of boron on creep deformation behavior and microstructure evolution during creep has been investigated for a tempered martensitic 9Cr-3W-3Co-VNb steel containing boron up to 140 ppm at 650°C (923 K) with the emphasis on long term behavior. Creep tests were carried out at 650°C for up to about 70 00…

The chemical speciation of the soil solution is an important tool for evaluating nutrient availability and aluminum phytotoxicity. The effect of liming in the composition of the soil solution under the no-till (NT) system is still not well known. We evaluated the chemical speciation of Al and nutrients in the soil sol…

The one-dimensional fractional derivative Maxwell model has been found very useful in modeling the linear viscoelastic response in the glass transition and α-relaxation regions. That motivated further work on generalizations to nonlinear viscoelastic fractional constitutive equations. In the work of Palade et al. [Int…

In this paper, we report on the reactivity of adsorbed cyanide deriving from ligand release during metal electrodeposition from cyanocomplex solutions of Au(I), Au(III), Ag(I), and Cu(I) in H 2 O and D 2 O. When CN - is adsorbed at cathodic potentials in excess of the HER threshold, metal-dependent reactivity can be d…

BACKGROUND: Tumor cell destruction in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is due to the nuclear reaction between (10)B and thermal neutrons ((10)B + (1)n --> (7)Li + (4)He (alpha) + 2.31 MeV (93.7 %)/2.79 MeV (6.3 %)). The resulting lithium ions and alphaparticles are high linear energy transfer (LET) particles which…
