Electrical characteristics of the node were analyzed in comparison with those of the flank of the internodal cell in Chara corallina. The dependence of the membrane potential of the node on pH and K+ concentration was almost the same as that of the flank. In the flank, the increase in the Ca2+ concentration stopped the depolarization in the presence of 100 mM KCl. In the node, however, Ca2+ cou...

Original scientific paper In this paper, the orthogonal cutting force model is proposed comprising forces due to flank wear in addition to the forces for chip formation during the hard turning of round bar made of steel 60WCrV7 hardened at 55+2HRc. Cutting force model includes two tool conditions: perfectly sharp tool with VBB = 0 and tool with maximum permissible flank wear VBBmax. Based on cu...

Giant mass failures of oceanic shield volcanoes that generate tsunamis potentially represent a high-magnitude but low-frequency hazard, and it is actually difficult to infer the mechanisms and dynamics controlling them. Here we document tsunami deposits at high elevation (up to 132 m) on the north-western slopes of Tenerife, Canary Islands, as a new evidence of megatsunami generated by volcano ...

Renal colic pain due to an obstructing stone is the main renal cause of acute flank pain; however, other causes may be responsible for the same clinical findings, including acute pyelonephritis, acute vascular conditions, and hemorrhage. The purpose of this review is to describe the differential diagnosis, the CT findings and pitfalls, and the role and impact of CT in the diagnosis and manageme...

[1] Multiple mechanisms have been suggested to explain seaward motion of the south flank of Kīlauea Volcano, Hawai‘i. The consistency of flank motion during both waxing and waning magmatic activity at Kīlauea suggests that a continuously acting force, like gravity body force, plays a substantial role. Using finite element models, we test whether gravity is the principal driver of long-term moti...

A novel fractal estimation methodology, that uses—for the first time in metal cutting literature—fractal properties of machining dynamics for online estimation of cutting tool flank wear, is presented. The fractal dimensions of the attractor of machining dynamics are extracted from a collection of sensor signals using a suite of signal processing methods comprising wavelet representation and si...

In this study, 3-D finite element modeling of precision hard turning has been used to investigate the effects of cutting edge microgeometry on tool forces, temperatures and stresses in machining of AISI H13 steel using polycrystalline cubic boron nitrite (PCBN) inserts with two distinct edge preparations. Hard turning experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of cutting edge geometr...

Long-range Li diffusion parameters of amorphous LiNbO3 are probed by Li two-time spin-alignment echo NMR spectroscopy which is sensitive to slow Li dynamics. The jump rates which were extracted from the spin-alignment echo decay curves exhibit Arrhenius behaviour between 293 K and 413 K. The activation energy (0.41(1) eV) is in good agreement with that of the high-temperature flank of the Li NM...
