Introduction: A quantitative description of crystal-liquid trace element partitioning is critical to understanding the igneous differentiation history of the terrestrial planets. Anorthitic plagioclase is the type mineral of terrestrial planet crusts, and for the Moon, specifically, quantitative understanding of trace element partitioning in anorthite is key to testing models of the lunar magma...

The partitioning of two proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and trypsin was studied in an aqueous poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)Cashew-nut tree gum system. The phase diagram was provided for Cashew-nut tree gum and PEG molecular weight of 1500 at two different temperatures. The influence of several parameters including concentrations of polymers, pH, salt addition and temperature on the partitioni...

smc of Bacillus subtilis encodes a homolog of eukaryotic SMC proteins involved in chromosome condensation, pairing, and partitioning. A null mutation in B. subtilis smc caused a temperature-sensitive-lethal phenotype in rich medium. Under permissive conditions, the mutant had abnormal nucleoids, approximately 10% of the cells were anucleate, and assembly of foci of the chromosome partitioning p...

This manuscript aims to present an overview of quenching and partitioning (Q&P) heat treatment usually applied transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) duplex steels (DP). TRIP DP are the first generations advanced high-strength (AHSS). AHSSs multiphase microstructures that ensure advantageous combination strength ductility. The Q&P process obtain a mixed microstructure with martensite ...

I consider the effect of a small concentration of a molecule, such as a short-chain alcohol, on the miscibility transition temperature of a giant plasma membrane vesicle. For concentrations sufficiently small such that the system can be treated as a weak solution, the change in transition temperature is known to depend upon the extent of the molecule’s partition into the coexisting liquid-disor...

Three-dimensional integration has the potential to increase integration density and to reduce communication latency of chip-multiprocessors (CMPs). However, high power density (i.e., power dissipation per unit volume) due to the high integration incurs temperature-related problems in reliability, power consumption, performance, and system cooling cost. In this paper, we propose a design-time so...

I consider the effect of a small concentration of a molecule, such as a short-chain alcohol, on the miscibility transition temperature of a giant plasma membrane vesicle. For concentrations sufficiently small such that the system can be treated as a dilute solution, the change in transition temperature is known to depend upon the extent of the molecule's partition into the coexisting liquid-dis...

Designing a new family of advanced high-strength steels (AHSSs) to develop automotive parts that cover early industry needs is the aim many investigations. One candidates in 3rd AHSS are quenching and partitioning (QP) steels. These display an excellent relationship between strength formability, making them able fulfill requirements safety, while reducing automobile weight enhance performance d...

In Crocus vernus, a spring bulbous species, prolonged growth at low temperatures results in the development of larger perennial organs and delayed foliar senescence. Because corm growth is known to stop before the first visual sign of leaf senescence, it is clear that factors other than leaf duration alone determine final corm size. The aim of this study was to determine whether reduced growth ...
