Abstract The progress of mean-field modeling and simulation in steel is presented. In the modeling, focus put on development application a physical base, including Calphad, diffusion assessment, nucleation growth precipitates, dislocation dynamics. This leads to an improved prediction materials response after different thermo-mechanical treatments terms microstructure evolution mechanical prope...

In the present research, to form niobium carbide coating on the surface of AISI L2 steel Thermo-Reactive Deposition method (TRD) in a molten bath was used. Niobium carbide coating treatment was carried out at 1173 K, 1273 K, and 1373 K for 2, 4, and 8 hours. The molten bath contained 20wt.% borax (Na2B4O7), 5 wt.% boric acid (B2O3), and 75 wt.% ferro-niobium. The presence and properties of...

i. Thermo-physiological comfort: achieving a comfortable thermal and humid condition in which the thermo-regulating capacity, the thermal insulation and the moisture-regulating capacity of the garment are considered as a function of environmental conditions (climate) and the working conditions (level of effort). Thermo-physiological comfort is strongly affected by the fabric, the style and the ...

The depletion of Pt in Pt-enriched bond coats due to inter-diffusion with superalloys has been a critical concern for the long-term oxidation resistance thermal barrier coatings. This study investigated diffusion behaviour between CMSX-4 and two commercial comprising intermetallic ??/?-phase or ?-phase, aim understand mechanism that leads at high temperatures. results demonstrated superalloy di...

PURPOSE The current study examines the effect of fever-range hyperthermia and mild hypothermia on human cancer cells focusing on cell viability, proliferation and HSP90 expression. MATERIALS AND METHODS A549 and H1299 lung carcinoma, MCF7 breast adenocarcinoma, U87MG and T98G glioblastoma, DU145 and PC3 prostate carcinoma and MRC5 normal fetal lung fibroblasts cell lines were studied. After 3...

In this paper the basic mathematical structure of a thermo-poro-mechanical model for faults under rapid shear is discussed. The analysis is 1D in space and concerns the infinitely extended fault. The gauge material is considered as a two-phase material consisting of a thermo-elastic fluid and of a thermoporo-elasto-viscoplastic skeleton. The governing equations are derived from first principles...

Thermo-responsive adsorbents for immunoglobulin G (IgG) employing ε-polylysine (EPL) as a polymer backbone were developed. The introduction of mercaptoethylpyridine (MEP) as an IgG-binding ligand and hydrophobization of side chains afforded thermo-responsive IgG adsorbents, whose thermo-responsive IgG desorption ratio was up to 88% (EPL/MEP derivative 3m). The changes in surface densities of ac...

The hybrid integration of polymer and silica in optical waveguides can yield devices that combine the excellent thermo-optic properties of polymers and the superior passive waveguiding properties of silica. The large difference and opposite sign of the thermo-optic coefficients of both classes of materials can be utilized to create athermal waveguide devices. In addition, it can be utilized in ...
