The temperature-sensitive mutant D9 of Tetrahymena thermophila doubles its size at restrictive temperature. It does so by complete cessation of cell division for a limited time. After resumption of proliferation, division rate and specific growth rate are the same as at the permissive temperature, thereby maintaining the new cell size. In this study a detailed analysis of the process of control...

In this article, the thermoelastic interactions in an isotropic and homogeneous semi-infinite medium with variable thermal conductivity caused by an ultra-short pulsed laser heating based on the linear nonlocal theory of elasticity has been considered. We consider that the thermal conductivity of the material is dependent on the temperature. The surface of the surrounding plane of the medium is...

The dynamics of fast gas heating in a high power microwave discharge in air, is investigated in the framework of FDTD simulations of the Maxwell equations coupled with the fluid simulations of the plasma. It is shown that, an ultra-fast gas heating of the order of several 100 Kelvins occurs in less than 100 ns. The main role in the heating is played by the electron impact dissociation of , diss...

aim and background:   hypothermia is a common complication in surgeries patients and may have serious consequences in both mother and fetal in cesarean surgery. this study was implemented to assess the effect of intravenous (iv) infusion of warm fluids on decreasing hypothermia in mothers and its consequences on newborns. methods and materials:   this randomized controlled clinical trial was do...

Laser pulse heating of solid surface and entropy generation during the heating process are considered. Time exponentially decaying pulse is accommodated in the analysis and the laser pulse parameter (b1/b2) resulting in minimum entropy generation rate is computed. Analytical solutions for temperature rise are presented and volumetric entropy generation rate is formulated. Two laser pulses resul...

The electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness of different thin-film devices, including three diodes and two thin-film transistors (TFTs) in low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology, is investigated. By using the transmission line pulse generator (TLPG), the high-current characteristics and the secondary breakdown current (It2) of these thin-film devices are observed. The experimental resul...

Abstract The temperatures of electrons and ions in the post-shock accretion region of a magnetic cataclysmic variable (mCV) will be equal at sufficiently high mass flow rates or for sufficiently weak magnetic fields. At lower mass flow rates or in stronger magnetic fields, efficient cyclotron cooling will cool the electrons faster than the electrons can cool the ions and a twotemperature flow w...

We study the kinetics of 2D Bose gas cooling provided Bose particles interact with 3D phonons. At low temperatures phonon emission is prohibited by the energy and the momentum conservation. We show that both particle-particle scattering and impurity scattering assist the Bose gas cooling. The temporal relaxation of temperature follows the law T ∼ 1/ √ t above the Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless ...

near-fault ground motions with long-period pulses can place severe demands on structures near an active fault. these pulse-type ground motions can be represented by pulse sequences with simple shapes. half-sinusoidal pulse sequences are used to approximate recorded ground motions and dynamic responses of sdof system under the excitation of these pulse sequences are studied. four cases are consi...
