This study reevaluates the adiabatic temperature profile of Earth's mantle. The global average at 410-km discontinuity is estimated to be 1839 (38) K by comparing globally averaged depths with previously determined phase diagram olivine-wadsleyite transition in system (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 two temperatures. extrapolated shallower and deeper regions using gradient, which from pressure-volume-temperature ...

Double diffusive convection is the phenomena that describes driven by two differ-ent densities which have different rates of diffusion. A comparison temperature boundaries when i) both surfaces are set at adiabatic temperature, and ii)upper free surface lower rigid isothermal cases, on tension double in a horizontal composite layer studied analytically using exact method. For cases ii), thermal...

Introduction In an effort to moderate the unsustainable rate of increase in health care costs and improve the quality of patient care and health outcomes, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA) introduced in 2009 a new provider payment model called the Alternative Quality Contract (AQC). Hospitals and physicians who enter into the AQC agree to take responsibility for the full continuu...

Rott) The physical origin of both Negativeand Positive Bias Temperature Instability (N-/PBTI) is still unclear and under debate. We analyzed the rarely studied recovery behavior after PBTI stress in pMO...

We show that the adiabatic motion of ultracold, multilevel atoms in spatially varying laser fields can give rise to effective non-Abelian gauge fields if degenerate adiabatic eigenstates of the atom-laser interaction exist. A pair of such degenerate dark states emerges, e.g., if laser fields couple three internal states of an atom to a fourth common one under pairwise two-photon-resonance condi...

Dynamic testing of statically predeformed specimens of magnesium (AM50) shows that the failure strain increases with the level of prestrain. Interrupted and other dynamic tests show that the temperature rise prior to localization has only a minor influence on adiabatic shear band (ASB) formation. For all the tests, the dynamic deformation energy until ASB formation is found to be relatively con...
