PURPOSE Differences in core and veneer coefficients of thermal expansion, firing shrinkage, and speed of increasing and decreasing the temperature may generate stress in veneered all-ceramic restorations. Given the necessity of performing multiple firing cycles to achieve improved contour, color, and esthetics, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of multiple firing cycles on t...

Intracellular recordings were employed to study the effects of temperature on membrane properties and excitability in sensory neurons of the intact guinea pig trigeminal ganglion (TG) maintained in vitro. Neurons were classified according to the shape and duration of the action potential into F (short-duration, fast spike) and S (long duration, slow spike with a "hump") types. Most type F (33/3...

The Linfen kiln complex, one of the most representative Shanxi kilns, is famous for its oil spotted glazed ware production. In this work, micro-Raman spectroscopy was applied to analyze nature rusty spot pattern a bowl fragment from kilns. Crystals polygonal shape found in spots at glaze surface and around bubbles cross-section were identified as hematite. Their distribution suggests that nucle...

Mathematical model for a pilot scale iron ore pellet induration furnace has been developed which considers the process of induration including the reactions of limestone, magnetite and coke. The differential equations of energy, mass and momentum are solved simultaneously. The profiles of temperature, pressure and concentration are obtained. Performing separate experiments on sub processes; dry...

Temperature increases cause a regular and reproducible increase in the frequency of generation of pacemaker potentials in most Aplysia neurons specialized for this type of activity which can only be explained as a direct stimulating effect of temperature upon the ionic mechanisms responsible for pacemaker potentials. At the same time all cells in the visceral ganglion undergo a membrane potenti...

Restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), which apply graphical models to learning probability distribution over a set of inputs, have attracted much attention recently since being proposed as building blocks of multi-layer learning systems called deep belief networks (DBNs). Note that temperature is a key factor of the Boltzmann distribution that RBMs originate from. However, none of existing sche...

Abstract Influence of nano-glass powder on physico-mechanical properties geopolymer composite materials has been studied, in addition to studying their firing stability against high temperature from 500 up 1000 °C. For increasing mechanical, physical as well for metakaolin composites; Nano-glass was used. Alumino-silicate are kaolin, fired kaolin (metakaolin) and limestone all pass 75 µm. Mater...
