In energy geostructures, the soil-structure interface is subjected to thermo-mechanical loads. this study, a non-isothermal model based on critical state theory developed from granular constitutive under isothermal conditions. The capable of capturing effect temperature sand/clay-structure interfaces constant normal load and stiffness First, was verified for sand-structure in Then, it calibrate...

The occurrence of liquid-vapor phase transition and the possible existence of a critical point in complex plasmas--systems that consist of charged micrograins in a neutralizing plasma background--is investigated theoretically. An analysis based on the consideration of the intergrain interaction potential suggests that under certain conditions systems near and at the critical point should be obs...

The critical behavior of electrolyte mixtures was studied using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Mixtures consist of large multivalent macroions and small monovalent co- and counterions. The system can be viewed as a binary mixture of macroions (with their counterions) and salt (co- and counterion pair). The primitive model description was used, in which the ions are point charges with ...

generally, the evaluation and assessment critical condition of rill formation are useful for a better understanding of soil erosion processes. the inherence characteristics of soils, which have much dynamic variations on the hill-slopes and are affected by rill formation, are the soil critical shear stress and soil erodibility factors. this study aims to assess experimental rill incision thresh...

Critical slowing down of the relaxation of the order parameter has phenomenological consequences in early universe cosmology and in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. We study the relaxation rate of long-wavelength fluctuations of the order parameter in an O(N) scalar theory near the critical point to model the non-equilibrium dynamics of critical fluctuations near the chiral phase transit...

A purpose of critical point theory is the counting of critical points of functions. Principal theorems in the subject state in precise terms that topological complexity of the underlying space is reflected in the existence and nature of critical points of any smooth real-valued function defined on the space. The initial development of critical point theory is peculiarly the work of one man, Mar...

In this work we analyze the feasibility of detecting equilibrium states and measuring, simultaneously, saturated liquid densities and equilibrium pressures at fixed temperature, of ”Type V” binary mixtures in state regions where both VLE and LLE are present. The employed technique is the Synthetic Indirect PvT Method through a single vibrating tube densitometer setup. The detection of phase equ...

Isothermal nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) in a Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) format promise to bring high-accuracy, non-instrumented rapid tests to the point of care. Reliable rapid tests for infectious diseases allow for early diagnosis and treatment, which in turn enables better containment of potential outbreaks and fewer complications. A critical component to LoC NAATs is the heating element...
