This paper aims at computational simulation of effect of zeolite admixture on service life of concrete building envelope from point of view of freeze/thaw resistance. Hygrothermal behavior of two types of concrete is studied in this paper: reference concrete without any admixtures and zeolite concrete with 40 % zeolite as cement replacement. The computations are performed using computer simulation tool HEMOT, which processes the input parameters using finite element method. The simulation is assumed under dynamic climatic conditions of Prague. As the results of the computational simulations showed, assuming analyzed amount of zeolite, any positive effect of on freeze/thaw resistance was not found related to unprotected building envelope. However, the results indicated, hygrothermal performance of zeolite concrete can be very considerate to applied external layers and thus extend their service life.

The effect of temperature (103 K < T < 303 K) upon the limiting fluorescence anisotropy r0 of POPOP was investigated in a cellulose acetate film. A slow increase in r0 was observed when reducing the temperature. Based on the Jabłoński theory, the frequency of the torsional vibrations of POPOP was determined to be w = 1.3 x 1012s−1. The depolarization due to these torsional vibrations was found to occur immediately following excitation during the thermal relaxation of the luminescent centre, thus somewhat lowering the value of the fundamental fluorescence anisotropy rf to the limiting r0 value.

The reliability of optical sources is strongly dependent on the degradation and device characteristics are critically dependent on temperature. The degradation behaviours and reliability test results for the laser diode device (Sony-DL3148-025) will be presented .These devices are usually highly reliable. The degradation behaviour was exhibited in several aging tests, and device lifetimes were then estimated. The temperature dependence of 0.63?m lasers was studied. An aging test with constant light power operation of 5mW was carried out at 10, 25, 50 and 70°C for 100hours. Lifetimes of the optical sources have greatly improved, and these optical sources can be applied to various types of transmission systems. Within this degradation range, the device life for system application is estimated to be more than 100 h at 70 ºC at a constant power of 5mW.

We present a model to understand the effect of temperature on the electrical resistance of individual semiconducting single wall carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) of various diameters under various electric fields. The temperature dependence of the resistance of s-SWCNTs and metallic SWCNTs (m-SWCNTs) are compared. These results help us to understand the temperature dependence of the resistance of SWCNTs network. We experimentally examine the temperature dependence of the resistance of random networks of SWCNTs, prepared by dispersing CNTs in ethanol and drop-casting the solution on prefabricated metallic electrodes. Examining various samples with different electrode materials and spacings, we find that the dominant resistance in determination of the temperature dependence of resistance of the network is the resistance of individual tubes, rather than the tube–tube resistance or tube–metal contact resistance. It is also found that the tube–tube resistance depends on the electrode spacing and it is more important for larger electrode spacings. By applying high electric field to burn the all-metallic paths of the SWCNTs network, the temperature dependence of the resistance of s-SWCNTs is also examined. We also investigate the effect of acid treatment of CNTs on the temperature dependence of the resistance of SWCNTs and also multi-wall CNTs (MWCNTs) networks.

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a fascinating group of metals that have two remarkable properties, the shape memory effect and superelasticity. The TiPt structure with the B2 phase has been reported to undergo a reversible displacive transformation to B19 martensite at about 1200K. However, this system could serve in principle as the basis of high-temperature shape memory alloys. Molecular dynamics study of martensitic transformation in platinum titanium alloys was performed to investigate the effect of temperature dependence on B2 and B19 structures at 50 at.%Pt. The NPT ensemble was used to determine the properties of these systems and we found good comparisons with recent experimental work. The temperature dependence of TiPt shows potential martensitic change when B19 is heated to extreme high temperatures of 273K up to 1573K.
