It has been suggested that maximum sustained metabolic rate (SusMR) in mammals as reached, for instance, during lactation, is due to a limited capacity for heat dissipation. Here, we experimentally tested whether heat dissipation limitation (HDL) also constrains energy turnover in lactating European hares. Experimentally, we made use of the fact that hares nurse their young only once per day, w...

To develop an accurate, compact and sensitive optical sensor capable of performing non-invasive instantaneous measurements of the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy TKE (E [m2/s3]). Turbulence dissipation rates provide vital information to determine mixing processes in the water column. In addition, enables the scaling information needed to link large mixing events with smallscale ...

we have applied the method of integration of the heisenberg equation of motion proposed by bender and dunne, and m. kamella and m. razavy to the potential v(q) = v q - µ q with linear and nonlinear dissipation. we concentrate our calculations on the evolution of basis set of weyl ordered operators and calculate the mean position , velocity , the commutation relation [q, p], and the energy of pa...

To qualitatively investigate the validity of Kolmogorov local equilibrium hypothesis and the Taylor dissipation law, we conduct direct numerical simulations of the three-dimensional turbulent Kolmogorov flow. Since strong scale-by-scale (i.e. Richardson-type) energy cascade events occur quasi-periodically, the kinetic energy of the turbulence and its dissipation rate evolve quasi-periodically t...

The first challenge, power dissipation, became evident at the beginning of this decade, and the importance has only grown in magnitude in the last several years. Power dissipation manifests as a problem in three fundamental ways: 1) high power dissipation is the primary performance limiter for mainstream highperformance microprocessors — it is simply not cost-effective to cool and deliver power...

Energy absorber systems like metallic dampers for controlling the structural vibrations due to earthquake have witnessed considerable development in the past few decades. Also there are some studies on the energy absorption of thin-walled tubes due to impact load. Thin-walled tubes have a large deformation capacity and are suitable energy absorbers in the structure during an earthquake provided...

Interaction of Alfven waves with plasma inhomogeneity generates phase mixing which can cause the dissipation of Alfven waves. We investigated the dissipation of standing Alfven waves due to phase mixing at the presence of steady flow and sheared magnetic field in solar spicules. Moreover, the transition region between chromosphere and corona was considered. Our numerical simulation showed that ...

In this paper, the non-linear dynamic response of novel steel sandwich panel with hollow I-core subjected to blast loading was studied. Special emphasis is placed on the evaluation of midpoint displacements and energy dissipation of the models. Several parameters such as boundary conditions, strain rate, mesh dependency and asymmetrical loading are considered in this study. The material and geo...

Building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. It leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. Many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. In numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...
