The (13)C- and (1)H- NMR spectra of isopropyl N-dodecanoylsarcosinate (SLIP) were measured in CDCl(3), CD(3)OD and in sodium dodecanoylsarcosinate (Sar) aqueous solution. The existence of both cis and trans isomeric forms are observed for SLIP just as for Sar. The trans/cis ratio of SLIP in a dilute CDCl(3) solution is over 3.2, which is indicating that SLIP-trans conformation is more stable in...

The flow of viscous incompressible fluid over a periodically corrugated surface is investigated numerically by solving the Navier–Stokes equation with the local slip and no-slip boundary conditions. We consider the effective slip length which is defined with respect to the level of the mean height of the surface roughness. With increasing corrugation amplitude the effective no-slip boundary pla...

Adults with intellectual disability (ID) experience more falls than their non-disabled peers. A gait analysis was conducted to quantify normal walking, and an additional slip trial was performed to measure slip response characteristics for adults with ID as well as a group of age- and gender-matched controls. Variables relating to gait pattern, slip propensity, and slip severity were assessed t...

We study the linearized stability of shear flow satisfying Navier slip boundary conditions. The Orr-Sommerfeld equation for the plane Poiseuille flow with Navier slip boundary conditions is solved numerically by the Chebyshev collocation method. Our numerical results show that slip at the boundary increases the critical Reynolds number Rc for instability. The dependence of the this critical Rey...

The evolution of fault slip through time may yield insight into the geodynamics of deforming lithosphere. Precise determination of temporal variations in fault slip is often hindered, however, by a dearth of markers of varying age from which to reconstruct fault slip. Here we determine slip rates across the White Mountain Fault Zone over the past ca. 0.8 Ma from displaced alluvial deposits pres...

[1] This paper analyzes slip on a fluid-infiltrated dilatant fault for imposed (tectonic) strain rates much slower than the rate of fluid exchange between the gouge zone and the surroundings and for exchange of heat slower than of fluid, typical of interseismic or most laboratory loading conditions. The limiting solution, corresponding to the infinitely rapid drainage rate, developed in the com...

The characteristics of near-fault ground motion are investigated considering heterogeneous slip distribution on the fault plane. Areas on the fault plane with large slip in compare with the average slip on the fault are known as asperity. The characteristics of strong ground motions in near-fault area are strongly affected by faulting parameters such as asperity location, maximum slip of asperi...

When body-centered-cubic crystals undergo plastic deformation, the slip planes are often noncrystallographic. By performing atomistic simulation on the activation pathway of dislocation jumps in bcc iron, we show that the main reason for bcc crystals to exhibit this phenomenon is that one type of kink pair has significantly lower energy than all the other types on the same slip plane. Dislocati...

The slip day policy for COMP 322 is similar to that of COMP 321. All students will be given 3 slip days to use throughout the semester. When you use a slip day, you will receive up to 24 additional hours to complete the assignment. You may use these slip days in any way you see fit (3 days on one assignment, 1 day each on 3 assignments, etc.). If you use slip days, you must submit a README.txt ...

Colloidal probe atomic force microscopy is used to study the slip behavior of 18 Newtonian liquids from two homologous series, the n-alkanes and n-alcohols, at molecularly smooth hydrophobic n-hexadecyltrichlorosilane coated surfaces. We find that the slip behavior is governed by the bulk viscosity eta of the liquid, specifically, the slip length b approximately etax with x approximately 0.33. ...
