We explore how the inclusion of an anti-trapping current within a phase-field model of coupled thermo-solutal growth formulated in the thin interface limit actually affects the observed levels of solute trapping during dendritic growth. The problem is made computational tractable by the use of advanced numerical techniques including local mesh adaptivity, implicit temporal discreteization and a...

Abstract In this work, the problem of brittle fracture in a fluid‐saturated porous material is extended by considering non‐isothermal states sample. The temperature field will affect two aspects: 1) Temperature‐dependent parameters, such as elasticity modulus (E) and critical energy release rate (Gc). 2) Thermal expansion due to thermo‐mechanical volume coupling. hydraulic fracturing, we furthe...

In this talk I assert that the usual interpretation of what one means by “elasticity” is much too insular and illustrate my thesis by introducing implicit constitutive theories that can describe the nondissipative response of solids. I show that response which was hitherto untenable within the context of Cauchy or Green Elasticity are not only possible, they can explain phenomena that have thus...

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 ...

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...

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 ...
