Abstract The thermodynamic properties are related to the life of brake system. texturing technology is introduced into system construct different groove textures on pad. influence multi-factor conditions systems studied based Finite Element Method. results suggest that horizontal texture disc can make temperature field and stress distribution more uniform. With increase in braking pressure car ...

We compare the experimental interdiffusion constants DAlCu in liquid Al81.3Cu18.7 at% to the experimental Cu self diffusion constants DCu in a similar Al80Cu20 at% melt. DAlCu are measured by an X-ray radiography technique and DCu are measured by the quasielastic neutron scattering method. It was found that DAlCu is enhanced by a factor of 3 with respect to DCu. The relation between DAlCu and D...

A key quantity in the analysis of structured populations is the parameter K, which describes the number of subpopulations that make up the total population. Inference of K ideally proceeds via the model evidence, which is equivalent to the likelihood of the model. However, the evidence in favour of a particular value of K cannot usually be computed exactly, and instead programs such as STRUCTUR...

The formation of DNA loops is a ubiquitous theme in biological processes, including DNA replication, recombination and repair, and gene regulation. These loops are mediated by proteins bound at specific sites along the contour of a single DNA molecule, in some cases many thousands of base pairs apart. Loop formation incurs a thermodynamic cost that is a sensitive function of the length of loope...

Due to the necessity of using highly efficient power generation systems to reduce fuel consumption and air pollution, the integration of different energy systems is promising modification to achieve higher efficiency. In this paper, the integration of an Internal Reforming Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (IRSOFC)-Gas Turbine (GT)-Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system has been proposed. In this regard, therm...

A Bayesian approach to model comparison based on the integrated or marginal likelihood is considered, and applications to linear regression models and nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) models are used as the setting in which to elucidate and further develop existing statistical methodology. The focus is on two methods of marginal likelihood estimation. First, a statistical failure ...
