The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of quenching and tempering temperatures on the microstructure, mechanical properties and the wear characteristics of medium carbon-high chromium wear resistant steel. In addition, the dominant wear mechanisms were studied. For this purpose, austenitizing and tempering temperatures were selected in the ranges of 900- 1000 °C and 300- 500...

Intermittent drying is a satisfactory technique for drying of heat sensitive grains especially rough rice. This method consists of two separate stages applied intermittently: drying and tempering. In this work, intermittent drying of rough rice is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. In order to characterize this process; a multi-scale model consisting of macroscopic and microsco...

We study the dynamics of parallel tempering simulations, also known as the replica exchange technique, which has become the method of choice for simulation of proteins and other complex systems. Recent results for the optimal choice of the control parameter discretization allow a treatment independent of the system in question. Analyzing mean first passage times across control parameter space, ...

We present ESpinS (Esfahan Spin Simulation) package to evaluate the thermodynamic properties of spin systems described by a model Hamiltonian. In addition Heisenberg exchange term, Hamiltonian in can contain interactions such as bi-quadratic, Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya, and single-ion anisotropy. By applying classical Monte Carlo simulation, simulates behavior with respect temperature. calculate spe...

The standard algorithms used for full QCD are painfully slow. Physically large objects, like instantons, pions etc., may well decorrelate much more slowly than, say, the plaquette [1]. Tempered algorithms [1–3] promote a parameter of the theory to a dynamical variable that changes during the simulation, which has tremendous potential for speeding up slow simulations. They have been successfully...
