The paper theoretically investigates the peculiarities of energy diagram of asymmetric graded-band-gap superlattices with linear coordinate dependences of band gap and electron affinity. For calculating the energy diagram of asymmetric graded-band-gap superlattices, linearized Poisson's equation has been solved for the two layers forming a period of the superlattice. The obtained coordinate dep...

Recently, Dasbach, Futer, Kalfagianni, Lin, and Stoltzfus extended the notion of a Tait graph by associating a set of ribbon graphs (or equivalently, embedded graphs) to a link diagram. Here we focus on Seifert graphs, which are the ribbon graphs of a knot or link diagram that arise from Seifert states. We provide a characterization of Seifert graphs in terms of Eulerian subgraphs. This charact...

this paper investigates the forming of sheet metal forming under cycling loading by considering the bauschinger effect. different proposed plasticity models which can handle this kind of deformation process have been reviewed in details. for instance, isotropic, kinematic and combined forms in the linear and non-linear cases including the well-known yoshida and chaboche's models have been ...

A uniaxial high-temperature tensile test of an AA7075 aluminum alloy sheet was conducted using established induction heating system. Five different types specimens were designed to obtain the stress–strain curves at forming temperatures and strain rates so as construct modify Johnson–Cook constitutive model. The stress states numerically simulated ABAQUS finite element software, triaxiality equ...

Sheet metal forming boundaries are established using the limit diagram (FLD). The Nakajima and Marciniak tests, which based on stretching a material punch, most commonly used methods for determining FLD or fracture (FFLD). results usually evaluated by calculating local strain, strain rates, specimen thickness reduction strain. When amount of experimental is insufficient, miniaturization testing...

Although cancer stem cells (CSC) have been implicated in the development of resistance to anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, the mechanisms underlying chemo-resistance by CSC have not yet been elucidated. We herein isolated sphere-forming (cancer stem-like) cells from the cervical cancer cell line, SiHa, and examined the unfolded protein reaction (UPR) to chemotherapeutic-induced endop...
