Flight and ground test applications for in-flow near-wall flow temperature sensing demand robust accurate sensing, making thermocouple sensors attractive. Even these extremely well-developed sensors, an prediction of stresses within sheaths custom-configured probes remains a topic great concern ensuring adequate lifetime sensors. In contemporary practice, high-fidelity simulations must be run t...

High speed machining (HSM) may produces parts with substantially higher fatigue strength; increased subsurface micro-hardness and plastic deformation, mostly due to the ploughing of the round cutting tool edge associated with induced stresses, and can have far more superior surface properties than surfaces generated by grinding and polishing. Cutting edge roundness may induce stress and tempera...

Candida albicans produces and accumulates large amounts of the polyols d-arabitol and glycerol in culture, and/or in infected mammalian tissues. However, the effects of environmental stresses on production and accumulation of these polyols, and the means by which polyol production and accumulation are regulated have not been studied. C. albicans grown in glucose at 30 degrees C (i) produced max...

Cryptococcus neoformans is a basidiomycete human fungal pathogen that causes meningoencephalitis in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. The ability to sense and respond to diverse extracellular signals is essential for the pathogen to infect and cause disease in the host. Four major stress-activated signaling (SAS) pathways have been characterized in C. neoformans, including...

ÐThe problem on strain-induced chemical reaction (SICR) and structural changes (SCs) in a thin layer inside the shear band is formulated and solved for large strains. It is analytically demonstrated that intense plastic deformation can accelerate chemical reactions. The phenomenon of reaction-induced plasticity (RIP), similar to transformation-induced plasticity at phase transitions is derived ...

OBJECTIVE Climatic factors with desired and sometimes undesired effects lead to changes in the human body, such as hypothermia, influenza, heart disease, stroke, asthma, etc. The present study investigates the role of temperature in respiratory mortality in Mashhad, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among the respiratory mortality data, daily temperature, wind speed and relative humidity from 2004 ...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to optimize the interdental design (wraparound) of porcelain laminates bonded to teeth in the presence of preexisting composite fillings. MATERIALS AND METHODS A finite element model (2-dimensional mesh generated from a horizontal cross section of a maxillary incisor) was used to evaluate the effects of luting composite shrinkage and thermal changes on the str...

Research results on 3D modeling of the diamond grain and its bearing layer when sintering diamond grinding wheels are provided in this paper. The influence of the main characteristics of the wheel materials and the wheel production process, namely the quantity of metallic phase within diamond grain, coefficient of thermal expansion of the metallic phase, the modulus of elasticity of bond materi...
