This study was designed to investigate the effect of light and temperature on Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios in the skeleton of the coral Acropora sp. for the purpose of evaluating temperature proxies for paleoceanographic applications. In the first experiment, co ...
The effect of drainage front morphology on gaseous diffusion through partially saturated porous media is analyzed using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Flow regimes for immiscible displacement in porous media have been characterized as stable displacem ...
Several members of the perovskite family are investigated: the temperature dependence of dielectric, elastic, piezoelectric and coupling coefficients of KNbO3 in its orthorhombic ferroelectric phase is determined experimentally; the values of dielectric st ...
We review the mechanisms of supersymmetry breaking mediation that occur in sequestered models, where the visible and the hidden sectors are separated by an extra dimension and communicate only via gravitational interactions. By locality, soft breaking term ...
We present a unified framework for understanding the compaction of colloidal gels under their own weight. The dynamics of the collapse are determined by the value of the gravitational stress σg, as compared to the yield stress σY of the network. For σg
Recovering the light sources from images in which the objects can move is difficult both because the specularities travel along the surfaces and because diffuse reflections do not remain constant. In this paper, we show that this can nevertheless be done w ...
The evolution of the electromagnetic coupling, α, in the momentum-transfer range 1800 GeV2 < -Q2 < 21600 GeV2 is studied with about 40 000 Bhabha-scattering events collected with the L3 detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies √s = 189-209 GeV. The runni ...
This letter presents the theory and experimental results of an athermal holographic filter design employing a thermally actuated microelectromechanical system mirror to compensate for the drift of Bragg wavelength due to changes of temperature. The center ...
Flow processes in unsaturated fractures considerably differ from flow in rock matrix because of the dominance of gravitational forces, accentuated by variations in fracture geometry. This gives rise to liquid fragmentation, fingering, and intermittent flow ...
Thermal creep tests have been conducted on the EUROFER 97 reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel and two kinds of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) EUROFER 97 steels, which were manufactured using slightly different powder metallurgy techni ...
