Water flow is an essential factor in the sealability of any underground cavern, including those for nuclear waste disposal, and significantly affected by permeability rock. The rocks various factors, stress temperature. rock changes excavating a temperature decay heat from waste, change induces thermal stress. Therefore, water around such caverns must be evaluated considering effects Numerical ...

OBJECTIVES Until recently, most patch-clamp recordings in inner hair cells (IHCs) have been performed at room temperature. The results acquired at room temperature should be corrected if they are to be related to in vivo findings. However, the temperature dependency to ion channels in IHCs is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on the potassium currents i...

Thermoelastic behavior of temperature-dependent (TD) and independent (TID) functionally graded variable thickness cantilever beam subjected to mechanical and thermal loadings is studied based on shear deformation theory using a semi-analytical method. Loading is composed of a transverse distributed force, a longitudinal distributed temperature field due to steady-state heat conduction from root...

The temperature dependency of the total emission intensity and the decay time cone stant of the 5D0 level after the CTB excitation was investigated in various glasses con taming Eu3+, and nonradiative process of Eu3+ center was discussed in connection with the effect of host composition. The broad UV excitation band induced by Eu3+ was considered to be ascribed to the charge transfer states of ...

An accurate prediction of reaction kinetics of silicon nitridation is of great importance in designing procedure of material production and controlling of reaction. The main purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of temperature on the kinetics of reaction bonded silicon nitride (RBSN) formation. To achieve this, nitrogen diffusion in the silicon nitride layer is considered as...

Temperature dependency of rate constants of edible oil's autoxidation was estimated. One of us showed"' that the rate process of autoxidation of edible oils was expressed by an equation as below, and that the effects of brightness on the rate constants, ko, k,, k2, and k3, in the equation could be measured individually. dP/dt=k0M+k1MP-2k2P2-k3P Here, P is the concentration [mmol/kg-oil] of pero...

In continuum mechanics, the constitutive models are usually based on the Cauchy–Born (CB) hypothesis which seeks the intrinsic characteristics of the material via the atomistic information and it is valid in small deformation. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the temperature effect on the stability and size-dependency of Cauchy–Born hypothesis. Three-dimensional temperature-rela...
