We investigate the minimum conductivity of graphene within a quasiclassical approach taking into account electron-hole coherence effects which stem from the chiral nature of low energy excitations. Relying on an analytical solution of the kinetic equation in the electron-hole coherent and incoherent cases, we study both the electrical and the thermal conductivity whose relation satisfies the Wi...

Increasingly school counselors are being called upon to demonstrate that they contribute to students’ academic achievement. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) has led to an intense focus on the use of standardized test scores in measuring academic achievement and on educator accountability for producing measurable achievement gains. NCLB also calls for all educators to use interventions that have been...

The classical approach to static cost analysis is based on transforming a given program into cost relations and solving them into closed-form upper-bounds. It is known that for some programs, this approach infers upper-bounds that are asymptotically less precise than the actual cost. As yet, it was assumed that this imprecision is due to the way cost relations are solved into upper-bounds. In t...

INTRODUCTION Measurement of extravascular lung water (EVLW) by using the lithium-thermal (Li-thermal) and single-thermal indicator dilution methods was compared with the indocyanine green-thermal (ICG-thermal) method in humans. METHODS Single-center observational study involving patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Paired measurements were taken 1, 2, 4, and 6 hour...

We constrain the total mass distribution in the cluster A3571, combining spatially resolved ASCA temperature data with ROSAT imaging data with the assumption that the cluster is in hydrostatic equilibrium.

The thermal and structural evolutions associated to active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) purity are monitored using a laboratory instrument (S3-MicroCaliX) allowing simultaneous time-resolved X-ray scattering at both wide and small angles (SWAXS) as a function of temperature. This is performed simultaneously with differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) that is carried out in the same apparat...

The present paper discusses the various effects of parameters like particle volume fraction, particle material, particle size, particle shape, particle material and base fluid, temperature, effect of acidity(PH) on thermal conductivity of nanofluids. And also discusses the different mechanisms of heat transfer enhancement like improvement in the thermal conductivity, effect of Brownian motion, ...
