Introduction: The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of light-curing modes and shades of methacrylate and silorane-based composite resins on temperature rise during polymerization of composite resins. Materials &Methods: In this in vitro study, ninety composite samples with two types of composite resin - methacrylate-based and a low-shrinkage silorane-based were prepared, in...

The dependence of some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized liquid 3He such as velocity of sound, adiabatic index, isentropic compressibility and temperature on the spin polarization has been investigated along different isentropic paths. The Lennard-Jones potential has been used in our calculations. It has been found that for higher values of entropy, the spin polarization has greate...

We use the method of adiabatic following to prepare a single molecule in its fluorescing excited state. Spontaneous emission from this state gives rise to a single photon. With our current experimental conditions, up to 74% of the sweeps lead to the emission of a single photon. Since the adiabatic passage is done on command, the molecule performs as a high rate source of triggered photons. The ...

Equal channel angular pressing is the most promising method of severe plastic deformation with the capability of producing ultrafine grained materials. These materials exhibit improved mechanical and physical properties compared with their coarse grained counter parts.The temperature variation in the sample during ECA-pressing is a key factor determining the final microstructure and mechanical ...

The heat capacities of synthetic pyrope (Mg,Al,Si,O,,), grossular (CasAI,SisO12), and a solid solution pyrope,,grossular,, (Mg,,sCa,,,Al,Si,O,,) have been measured by adiabatic calorimetry in the temperature range l&350 K. The samples were crystallized from glasses in a conventional pistoncylinder apparatus. The molar thermophysical properties at 298.15 K (J mol’ K‘) are: c; So298 % H’h, &P Pyr...

Recently there have been some controversies about the criterion of the adiabatic approximation. It is shown that an approximate diagonalization of the effective Hamiltonian in the second quantized formulation gives rise to a reliable and unambiguous criterion of the adiabatic approximation. This is illustrated for the model of Marzlin and Sanders and a model related to the geometric phase which...

Superhorizon perturbations induce large-scale temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) via the Grishchuk-Zel’dovich effect. We analyze the CMB temperature anisotropies generated by a single-mode adiabatic superhorizon perturbation. We show that an adiabatic superhorizon perturbation in a CDM universe does not generate a CMB temperature dipole, and we derive constraints ...

We consider the pre-big bang scenario with a massive axion field which starts to dominate energy density when oscillating in an instanton-induced potential and subsequently reheats the universe as it decays into photons, thus creating adiabatic CMB perturbations. We find that the fluctuations in the axion field can give rise to a nearly flat spectrum of adiabatic perturbations with a spectral t...

Submitted to ApJ Letters, 1996 June 15 ASCA and ROSAT X-ray data are used to obtain a two-dimensional map of the gas temperature in the Triangulum Australis cluster of galaxies. We find that this hot (Te = 10.3 ± 0.8 keV) system displays a temperature peak (> 12 keV) at the cluster core and an asymmetric temperature decline with radius. The temperature rise toward the center approximately corre...
