This paper gives the first results of a work in progress, in collaboration with G. Michaud and G. Vauclair. It is a first attempt to compute the effects of meridional circulation and turbulence on diffusion processes in stellar envelopes. Computations have been made for a 2 Mʘstar, which lies in the Am - δ Scuti region of the HR diagram.Let us recall that in Am stars diffusion cannot occur between the two outer convection zones, contrary to what was assumed by Watson (1970, 1971) and Smith (1971), since they are linked by overshooting (Latour, 1972; Toomre et al., 1975). But diffusion may occur at the bottom of the second convection zone. According to Vauclair et al. (1974), the second convection zone, due to He II ionization, disappears after a time equal to the helium diffusion time, and then diffusion may happen at the bottom of the first convection zone, so that the arguments by Watson and Smith are preserved.

The wear resistance and wear characteristics of cluster-gradient architecture (CGA) nanostructured topocomposites are studied. The specifics of tribocontact interaction under microcutting conditions is considered. The reasons for retention of high wear resistance of this class of nanostructured topocomposites are studied. The mechanisms of energy dissipation from the tribocontact zone, due to the nanogeometry and the structural-phase structure of CGA topocomposites are analyzed. The role of triboactivated deformation and diffusion processes in providing increased wear resistance of carbide-based topocomposites is shown. They are tested under the conditions of blade processing of heat-resistant titanium alloy.

To the description of changes of solid particle size in population, the application was proposed of stochastic differential equations and diffusion equations adequate to them making it possible to express the development of these populations in time. Particular relations were derived for some particle size distributions in flow and batch equipments. It was shown that it is expedient to complement the population balances often used for the description of granular systems by a "diffusion" term making it possible to express the effects of random influences in the growth process and/or particle diminution.

The extraterrestrial delivery of organics to primitive Earth has been supported by many laboratory and space experiments. Minerals played an important role in the evolution of meteoritic organic matter. In this study, we simulated aqueous alteration in small bodies by using a solution mixture of H2CO and NH3 in the presence of water at 150 °C under different heating durations, which produced amino acids after acid hydrolysis. Moreover, minerals were added to the previous mixture to examine their catalyzing/inhibiting impact on amino acid formation. Without minerals, glycine was the dominant amino acid obtained at 1 d of the heating experiment, while alanine and β-alanine increased significantly and became dominant after 3 to 7 d. Minerals enhanced the yield of amino acids at short heating duration (1 d); however, they induced their decomposition at longer heating duration (7 d). Additionally, montmorillonite enhanced amino acid production at 1 d, while olivine and serpentine enhanced production at 3 d. Molecular weight distribution in the whole of the products obtained by gel chromatography showed that minerals enhanced both decomposition and combination of molecules. Our results indicate that minerals affected the formation of amino acids in aqueous environments in small Solar System bodies and that the amino acids could have different response behaviors according to different minerals.

AbstractThe effect of Rapid Thermal Annealing on phase formation and diffusion processes in the Ni(30 nm) /Al(10 nm)/Si system was studied and coxpared to a Ni(30 nm)/Si reference system. Heat treatments were carried out at temperatures between 400°C and 900°C for 2 seconds.The results obtained by means of TEM, AES and XRD indicated that the Ni/Al/Si system underwent a local melting in the intermediate Al layer at the Al/Si eutectic temperature (577°C). This reaction, due to the rapid melting process, resulted in formation of a unique layered-structure composed of a columnar polycrystalline layer (60 nm thick) of Ni2Si and NiSi adjacent to the Si substrate with relatively smooth interface and an outer layer of two separate polycrystalline films (both about 10 m thick) of Al3Ni (inside) and Ni(Al0.5Si0.5 ) (outside). Under the same rapid thermal processing conditions the Ni/Si reference system underwent a solid state reaction which resulted in the formation of a polycrystalline layer (60 nm thick) composed of Ni2Si and NiSi as well as NiSi2.
