We present a splitting moving mesh method for multi-dimensional reaction-diffusion problems with nonlinear forcing terms over rectangular domains. The structure of the adaptive algorithm is an elegant combination of an operator splitting and one-dimensional moving mesh. It is motivated by the nature of splitting method, which splits a multi-dimensional problems into a few one-dimensional proble...

The most recently developed high temperature materials are known as in-situ composites or directionally solidified eutectics. Since the composites are formed during solidification, they have excellent morphological stabilities up to near their melting temperatures. The Ni-Al-Mo system has received the greatest attention for recent several years(1)~(3) since the alloy is expected to form a struc...

In these lectures I introduce aspects of current theory used to interpret the preliminary data on ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC energies in terms of the physical properties of QCD matter at extreme densities. Topics covered include: What are the physics questions at SPS and RHIC?, Geometrical vs Dynamical features of A+A, the interplay of computable Hard pQCD vs phenomenological...

A flow injection analysis system with spectrofluorimetric detection has been developed for trace protein in urine. The protein assay is based on the ion-association of protein and tetraiodofluorescein (TIF) in the presence of Triton X-100 at pH 3.2. Although the TIF-protein ion associate produces red color compounds, fluorescence quenching caused by bonding with protein was measured at 560 nm (...

Abstract: The microstructural features of the early stage of ordering of the intermetallic compound Pt2FeCu have been examined using optical and transmission electron microscopy in conjunction with X-ray diffraction technique. It was found that the compound has similar morphological alteration to that of FePt in which the ordering cannot be suppressed by rapid quenching. The early stage of ...

Edge-modified graphene quantum dots (GQD-1) showed base-dependent photoluminescence (PL) responses. DBN, DBU, and Et3N gradually enhanced the PL intensity and then caused quenching, whereas quenching was not observed when pyridine and pyrimidine were used. The quenching can be explained by the photoinduced electron transfer from the anchored bases at the periphery to the emissive sites of GQD-1.

We study the solutions of a parabolic system of heat equations coupled at the boundary through a nonlinear flux. We characterize in terms of the parameters involved when nonsimultaneous quenching may appear. Moreover, if quenching is non-simultaneous we find the quenching rate, which surprisingly depends on the flux associated to the other component.

The quenching rate constants of singlet oxygen by C60, H2@C60, D2@C6o, H2, and D2 in solution were measured. The presence of a hydrogen (H2@C60) or deuterium (D2@C60) molecule inside the fullerene did not produce any observable effect based on triplet lifetime or EPR measurements. However, a remarkable effect was found for the 1O2 quenching by C60, H2@C60, D2@C6o, H2, and D2. Singlet oxygen was...

Considering heavy forged parts presented that water spray is an appropriate technique as quenching operation. In general, the rapid cooling causes residual stress field due to the dis-homogeneity of the distribution of temperature in the part and the different microstructural phases. In comparison with other conventional quenching methods, spray-quenching method could have a capability to contr...

The distribution of p+ Gamow-Teller strength in 26Mg, 54Fe and 56Ni is calculated in the QRPA and large-basis shell-model spaces. The quenching relative to the simplest jj coupled model found in the QRPA is similar to that found in a shell-model basis which includes 2p2h ground-state correlations within the major shell (sd or pf). For 26Mg there is significant additional quenching found in the ...
