gmelinoides fasciatus (stebbing, 1899) is a baikal endemic amphipod that has recently become widespread in eurasia. this species accidentally entered the cooling reservoir of the belovo power plant and became successfully naturalised there. this study describes the peculiarities of g. fasciatus distribution in reservoir sites with different thermal regimes and analyses the environmental factors...

We demonstrate thermally limited force spectroscopy using a probe formed by a dielectric microsphere optically trapped in water near a dielectric surface. We achieve force resolution below 1 fN in 100 s, corresponding to a 2 Å rms displacement of the probe. Our measurement combines a calibrated evanescent wave particle tracking technique and a lock-in detection method. We demonstrate the accura...

The value measured in the amorphous structure with the same chemical composition is often considered as a lower bound for the thermal conductivity of any material: the heat carriers are strongly scattered by disorder, and their lifetimes reach the minimum time scale of thermal vibrations. An appropriate design at the nano-scale, however, may allow one to reduce the thermal conductivity even bel...

This paper provides a comprehensive derivation for thermoelastic damping (TED) in flexural-mode ring gyroscopes, in light of recent efforts to design high rateresolution gyroscopes. Imposing an upper limit on the attainable mechanical noise floor of a vibratory gyroscope, thermoelastic damping in a ring gyroscope is extracted from the equations of linear thermoelasticity. By assuming that it is...

The exhaust gases of gas turbine power plant carry a significant amount of thermal energy that is usually expelled to the atmosphere this causes a reduction in net work and efficiency of gas turbine. On the other hand, the generated power and efficiency of gas turbine plants depend largely on the temperature of the inlet air, So that they both increase as the inlet air temperature decreases. Th...

Latitudinal comparisons of the Southern Ocean limpet, Nacella concinna, and clam, Laternula elliptica, acclimated to 0.0 degrees C, were used to assess differences in thermal response to two regimes, 0.0, 5.1 to 10.0 degrees C and 2.5, 7.5 to 12.5 degrees C, raised at 5.0 degrees C per week. At each temperature, tissue energy status was measured through a combination of O(2) consumption, intrac...

The objectives in the cold rolling process include improved sheet surface quality, enhanced steel mechanical strength, and better solidification operations. Given the increasing demand for higher steel...

A micro-scale resonator suspended over a substrate and illuminated with a continuous wave (CW) laser forms an interferometer which couples deflection of the resonator to light absorption. In turn, absorption creates temperature and thermal stress fields which feedback into the motion. Experiments have shown that this coupling can lead to limit cycle oscillations in which the resonator vibrates ...

The work studies the dynamics following a quench in tunneling between two different interacting Bose gases which are initially coupled. authors highlight quasi-thermal behaviour occurring at large times distance regime, and its limit of validity.

Stuart-Landau limit-cycle oscillators are a paradigm in the study of coherent and incoherent limit cycles. In this work, we generalize standard dimer model to include effects due an inertia-like term noise its dynamics stochastic thermodynamics. absence (zero-temperature limit), show emergence new bistable phase where cycles coexist. At finite temperatures, develop thermodynamic framework based...
