this study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of long term ageing on toughness andresilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures containing electric arc and basic oxygen furnacesteel slags. after initial evaluation of the properties of steel slags using x-ray diffraction andscanning electric microscope, eleven sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. each set wastreated replacing ...

Introduction:  Electroporation  is  a  technique  for  increasing  the  permeability  of  the  cell  membrane  to  otherwise  non-permeate  molecules  due  to  an  external  electric  field.  This  permeability  enhancement  is  detectable if the induced transmembrane voltage becomes greater than a critical value which depends on the  pulse  strength  threshold.  In  this  study,  the  variabil...

we study the eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of the ground and first excited states (gfes) of an electron strongly coupled to the lo-phonon in an asymmetry quantum dot (aqd) under an applied electric field by using a variational method of the pekar type (vmpt). this aqd two-level system may be viewed as a single qubit. when the electron is in the superposition state (ss) of the gfes, the effec...

BACKGROUND/AIM Electromagnetic field exposure is the one of the most important physical agents that actively affects live organisms and environment. Active use of mobile phones influences the increase of electromagnetic field radiation. The aim of the study was to measure and assess the electric field strength caused by mobile phones to the human head. METHODS In this paper the software "COMS...

Self assembling wire networks typically evolve to minimize the resistance across electrical contacts which are frequently used in a manner comparable to Hebbian learning. In this work, we demonstrate that electrical fields can also be used to cause an increase in the resistance of the wire network. We show that if such a wire is exposed to a transverse electric field, the wire is deformed in a ...
