Hysteretic Response

In the current study, a 1-D phenomenological model is constructed to capture the temperature-induced hysteretic response in polycrystalline shape memory alloys (SMAs). The martensitic and austenitic transformations are regarded as the first-order transitions. A differential single-crystal model is formulated on the basis of Landau theory. It is assumed that the transformation temperatures follow the normal distribution among the grains due to the anisotropic stress field developed in the material. The polycrystalline hysteretic response is expressed as the integration of single-crystal responses. Besides, the prediction strategy for incomplete transitions is presented, and the first-order reversal curves are obtained via density reassignment. The proposed model is numerically implemented for validation. Comparisons between the modeling results and the experimental ones demonstrate the capability of the proposed model in addressing the hysteresis in thermally-induced phase transformations.

In this paper, the simulation of the thermal cleaning procedure in LiF:Mg,[Formula: see text]Ti as well as the investigation of the origin of its glow-peaks have been performed by six electron trapping levels and one recombination center phenomenological model. The most generally accepted parameter of the glow-peaks 1 to 5 of LiF:Mg,[Formula: see text]Ti is their first-order kinetics; this was particularly investigated by the use of the random variation of the kinetic parameters method.

Smectic A

We propose a Landau-de Gennes phenomenological model to describe the pressure induced smectic A-nematic phase transition. The influence of pressure on smectic A-nematic phase transitions are discussed for varying coupling between orientational and translational order parameter with pressure. Increasing the pressure, the first order nematic-smectic A transition becomes second order at a tricritical point which agrees fairly well with available experimental results.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

ABSTRACTThis paper models maximum entropy configurations of idealized gravitational ring systems. Such configurations are of interest because systems generally evolve toward an ultimate state of maximum randomness. For simplicity, attention is confined to ultimate states for which interparticle interactions are no longer of first order importance. The planets, in their orbits about the sun, are one example of such a ring system. The extent to which the present approximation yields insight into ring systems such as Saturn's is explored briefly.

Block copolymers are composed of sequences of dissimilar chemical moieties covalently bonded together. If the block lengths of each component are sufficiently long and the blocks are thermodynamically incompatible, these materials are capable of undergoing microphase separation, a weak first-order phase transition which results in the formation of an ordered microstructural network. Most efforts designed to elucidate the phase and configurational behavior in these copolymers have focused on the simple AB and ABA designs. Few studies have thus far targeted the perfectly-alternating multiblock (AB)n architecture. In this work, two series of neat (AB)n copolymers have been synthesized from styrene and isoprene monomers at a composition of 50 wt% polystyrene (PS). In Set I, the total molecular weight is held constant while the number of AB block pairs (n) is increased from one to four (which results in shorter blocks). Set II consists of materials in which the block lengths are held constant and n is varied again from one to four (which results in longer chains). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been employed here to investigate the morphologies and phase behavior of these materials and their blends.

Abstract. In the current study, we examined the viability of a multidimensional conception of perceived person-environment (P-E) fit in higher education. We introduce an optimized 12-item measure that distinguishes between four content dimensions of perceived P-E fit: interest-contents (I-C) fit, needs-supplies (N-S) fit, demands-abilities (D-A) fit, and values-culture (V-C) fit. The central aim of our study was to examine whether the relationships between different P-E fit dimensions and educational outcomes can be accounted for by a higher-order factor that captures the shared features of the four fit dimensions. Relying on a large sample of university students in Germany, we found that students distinguish between the proposed fit dimensions. The respective first-order factors shared a substantial proportion of variance and conformed to a higher-order factor model. Using a newly developed factor extension procedure, we found that the relationships between the first-order factors and most outcomes were not fully accounted for by the higher-order factor. Rather, with the exception of V-C fit, all specific P-E fit factors that represent the first-order factors’ unique variance showed reliable and theoretically plausible relationships with different outcomes. These findings support the viability of a multidimensional conceptualization of P-E fit and the validity of our adapted instrument.
