Evolution: Aging Up a Tree?

BLOW-UP AND NONGLOBAL SOLUTION FOR A FAMILY OF NONLINEAR HIGHER-ORDER EVOLUTION PROBLEM

In this paper we consider a kind of higher-order evolution equation as^{kt^{k} + ^{k&minus1}u/t^{k&minus1} +• • •+ut &minus{delta}u= f (u, {delta}u,x). For this equation, we investigate nonglobal solution, blow-up in finite time and instantaneous blow-up under some assumption on k, f and initial data. In this paper we employ the Test function method, the eneralized convexity method an...

Effect of aging temperature on structural evolution of HP-Nb heat resistant steel

In this study, the changes in microstructure of HP-Nb cast heat resistant steel after 8 years of service at high temperatures were investigated. Study of microstructure using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) showed that the microstructure of this steel in as-cast condition includes an austenitic matrix, and that...

Thermodynamic Theory of Biological Evolution and Aging. Experimental Confirmation of Theory

The work presents experimental confirmation of the author’s thermodynamic theory of the biological evolution and aging of living beings. It shows that using the law of temporal hierarchies and the second law of thermodynamics, it is easy to describe biological evolution (phylogeny) and ontogeny in terms of equilibrium hierarchical thermodynamics. This theory explains many known facts and makes ...

Transient Nonlinear Vibration of Randomly Excited Cylindrical Shallow Panels in Non Aging Viscous Medium

In this paper, the nonlinear transient vibration of a cylindrical shallow panel under lateral white noise excitation is studied. The panel is in contact with a non aging viscoelastic medium. Since the external load is a time varying random wide band process, deterministic and conventional approaches cannot be used. Instead, the evolution of the probability density function of the response is in...
