A technique for determining the heat transfer on the far surface of a wall based on measuring the heat transfer and temperature on the near wall is presented. Although heat transfer measurements have previously been used to augment temperature measurements in inverse heat conduction methods, the sensors used alter the heat flow through the surface, disturbing the very quantity that is desired t...

On the basis of the method of gyrotropic Thiele forces, we build a formalism that allows the determination of the effective mass of the nanoscales structural elements of the domain wall (DW): vertical Bloch line and Bloch point in uniaxial ferromagnets. As shown, the effective mass of these magnetic inhomogeneities depends on the value of the gyrotropic domain wall bend that is created by their...

Despite essentially identical crystallography and equilibrium structuring of water, nanoscopic channels composed hexagonal boron nitride graphite exhibit an order-of-magnitude difference in fluid slip. We investigate this using molecular dynamics simulations, demonstrating that its origin is the distinct chemistries two materials. In particular, presence polar bonds nitride, absent graphite, le...

We report a case of precocious puberty in a 4-year-old boy. Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MR imaging suggested a pineal cyst with enhancement of the slightly thickened wall and focal wall irregularity. Three-dimensional constructive interference in a steady-state imaging revealed a focal lobulation and a nodule-like area in the lesion. The lesion mimicking a pineal cyst proved to be a germinoma...

in spite of the fact that cementitious and concrete materials are mainly used on a large scale and inhuge quantities for roads, dams, bridges and building constructions, the mechanical behavior of thesematerials depends to a great extend on structural elements and phenomena which are effective on amicro and nanoscale. although this is well known by researchers, material producers and engineersf...

Through-wall radar is an emergent technology rooted in urban surveillance, a key component being synthetic aperture (SAR). Accurate through-wall SAR relies on knowledge of the refractive index and thickness any obscuring walls. Such information rarely known beforehand subject to change sample-by-sample basis. It therefore necessary obtain material properties conjunction with measurement. In thi...

(paper pages 133-156) zagros active fold-thrust belt lies on the northern margin of the arabian continental crust it is a young fold-thrust mountain belt currently shortening, thickening and uplifting as a result of the collision of the arabian and iranian plates. rethickening of crust during collisional orogenies could have been carried out by reversal of fault motion along the mesozoic normal...
