We determine the detailed qualitative behavior of radially symmetric equilibrium states with two or more phases for general classes of nonlinear thermoelastic materials. We treat the cases of structured and non-structured interface. Methods are based on a combination of geometric constructions with phase-plane analyses of the governing equations. A special feature of the solutions is that they ...

Many articles dealing with individual cell lag phase determination assume that growth, when observed, comes from one cell. This assumption is not in agreement with the Poisson distribution, which uses the probability of growth in a sample to predict how many samples contain one, two, or some other number of cells. This article analyses and compares different approaches to improve the accuracy o...

Alternative discretization and solution procedures are developed for the 1-D dual phase-lag (DPL) equation, a partial differential equation for very short time, microscale heat transfer obtained from a delay partial differential equation that is transformed to the usual non-delay form via Taylor expansions with respect to each of the two time delays. Then in contrast to the usual practice of de...

dual phase steels with different martensite volume fraction and morphology were tensile tested at a temperature range of 25 to 5500c. stress-strain curves of all steels showed serration flow at temperatures of 250 and 3500c, and smooth flow at the other temperatures. both yield and ultimate tensile strengths increased with increasing testing temperature up to about 4500c and then decreased at h...

The quantitative characterization of bacterial growth has attracted substantial research attention since Monod’s pioneering study. Theoretical and experimental work have uncovered several laws for describing the exponential growth phase, in which the number of cells grows exponentially. However, microorganism growth also exhibits lag, stationary, and death phases under starvation conditions, in...

In previous work, a series of theoretical considerations have been made aimed at identifying the source and assessing prominent factors influencing the thermoelastic response from laminated composites. In this paper four different methods of interpreting the data are investigated and the theoretical thermoelastic response is compared to experimental data to identify the source of the thermoelas...

Many studies have reported long-range synchronization of neuronal activity between brain areas, in particular in the beta and gamma bands with frequencies in the range of 14-30 and 40-80 Hz, respectively. Several studies have reported synchrony with zero phase lag, which is remarkable considering the synaptic and conduction delays inherent in the connections between distant brain areas. This re...
