The recent developments on PYQUEN, HYDJET and HYDJET++ event generators are presented. The partonic energy loss model PYQUEN is implemented as the modification of the “standard” jet event obtained with the generator of hadron-hadron interactions PYTHIA. HYDJET and HYDJET++ are the Monte-Carlo event generators for the simulation of relativistic heavy ion AA collisions considered as a superpositi...

Er3+/Yb3+ codoped tellurite-zinc-niobium (TZNb) glass was prepared by the melt-quenching method and used for the construction of a point all-fiber temperature sensor. The glass thermal stability and network structural properties were studied by differential thermal analysis and Raman spectrum, respectively. High glass transition temperature is beneficial to widen the working temperature range. ...

The functional and structural adaptations to temperature have been addressed in homologous chloride-dependent α-amylases from a psychrophilic Antarctic bacterium, the ectothermic fruit fly, the homeothermic pig and from a thermophilic actinomycete. This series covers nearly all temperatures encountered by living organisms. We report a striking continuum in the functional properties of these enz...

This contribution is concerned with modeling and simulation of quenching employing the finite element method. An anisothermal constitutive model formulated within the framework of continuum mechanics and the thermodynamics of irreversible processes is considered adopting two phases: austenite and martensite. A numerical procedure is developed based on operator split technique associated with an...

Optically active and electrically excitable erbium complexes on silicon are made by wet-chemical synthesis. The single-crystalline Er–Si–O compound is formed by coating a Si(100) substrate with an ErCl3/ethanol solution, followed by rapid thermal oxidation and annealing. Room-temperature Er-related 1.53 mm photoluminescence is observed with a peak linewidth as small as 4 meV. The complexes can ...

The influence of the atomic order on the martensitic transformation entropy change has been studied in a Ni-Mn-In-Co metamagnetic shape memory alloy through the evolution of the transformation temperatures under high-temperature quenching and post-quench annealing thermal treatments. It is confirmed that the entropy change evolves as a consequence of the variations on the degree of L21 atomic o...

the effects of magnesium hydroxide and l-lactide dimer as additives on thermal properties and morphology of poly(l-lactide) (plla) films were studied. hence, neat plla films and films containing additives (10% w/w) were prepared in dichloromethane at room temperature via solution casting. to evaluate thermal history on polymer properties, plla films were annealed by different processes. in one ...
