With non–equilibrium applications in mind we present in this paper (first in a series of three) a self–contained calculation of the hydrostatic pressure of the O(N) λφ4 theory at finite temperature. By combining the Keldysh–Schwinger closed–time path formalism with thermal Dyson–Schwinger equations we compute in the large N limit the hydrostatic pressure in a fully resumed form. We also calcula...

Hostility may be related to risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as blood pressure. However, the process by which hostility affects blood pressure is not fully understood. The current study sought to evaluate abdominal obesity (waist-to-hip ratio [WHR]) as a potential mediator and modifier of the relationship between cynical hostility and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in a group ...

Gas condensate reservoirs are characterized by a distinctive retrograde behavior and potential for condensate drop out during production and sampling. Efficient modeling of gas condensate reservoir requires careful phase behavior studies of samples collected prior to and during the production life of reservoir. In this work, an integrated characterization and tuning algorithm is proposed to ana...

MIn2S4 (M = Mn, Cd, Mg) spinels were investigated by Raman scattering spectroscopy under hydrostatic pressure up to 20 GPa. These compounds were found to undergo a reversible phase transition to a Raman-inactive defect NaCl-type structure. Transition pressures of 7.2, 9.3, and 12 GPa were found for M = Mn, Cd, and Mg, respectively. From the analysis of the pressure behaviour of Raman-active mod...

DC flashover performance of ice-covered composite insulators with a parallel air gap (CI/PAG) is an important technical consideration when such insulators are used to isolate ground wires for the purpose of DC ice-melting. Tests on tension and suspension types of CI/PAG were thus carried out in the artificial climate chamber to investigate their DC icing flashover performance. The influences of...

Back-pressure-type algorithms have recently received much attention for jointly routing and scheduling over multihop wireless networks. However, this approach has a significant weakness in routing because it explores and exploits all feasible paths between each source and destination. While this extensive exploration is essential in order to maintain stability when the network is heavily loaded...

We perform molecular dynamics simulations of the glass transition through isobaric and isochoric cooling of a model polymeric material. In general, excellent agreement between the simulation results and the existing experimental trends is observed. The glass transition temperature (Tg) is found to be a function of pressure under isobaric conditions and specific volume under isochoric conditions...

This paper presents evaluation and effect of blank radius on radial stresses through mathematical formulations in hydroforming deep drawing process using castor oil medium. Hydraulic pressure can enhance the capabilities of the basic deep drawing process for making cups. In hydroforming deep drawing process, applying the hydraulic pressure on blank periphery in radial direction. It is obtained ...
