Abstract Ethylene-butene copolymer (EBC)/carbon-fiber (CF) composites can be utilized as an electromechanical material due to their ability to change electric resistance with mechanical strain. The electro-mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of ethylene butene copolymer (EBC) composites with carbon fibers were studied. Carbon fibers were introduced to EBC with various concentrations (5 to 25 wt%). The results showed that carbon fibers’ addition to EBC improves the electric conductivity up to 10 times. Increasing the load up to 2.9 MPa will raise the electric resistance change by 4 500% for a 25% fiber sample. It is also noted that the EBC/CF composites’ electric resistance underwent a dramatic increase in raising the strain. For example, the resistance change was around 13 times higher at 15% strain compared to 5% strain. The thermal conductivity tests showed that the addition of carbon fibers increases the thermal conductivity by 40%, from 0.19 to 0.27 Wm–1K–1.

ABSTRACTWe made p-type nanoscale super lattice thermoelectric cooling devices which consist of multiple periodic layers of Si1−x Gex / Si, The thickness of each layer ranges between 10 and 50 nm. The super lattice was bombarded by 5 MeV Si ion with different fluencies aiming to form nano-cluster quantum dot structures. We estimated the thermo-electric efficiency of the so fabricated devices, measuring the thin film cross plane thermal conductivity by the 3rd harmonic method, measuring the cross plane Seebeck coefficient, and finally measuring the cross plane electric conductivity before and after ion bombardment. As predicted, the thermo-electric Figure of Merit of the films increases with increasing Si ion fluencies. In addition to the effect of quantum well confinement of the phonon transmission, the nano-scale crystal quantum dots produced by the incident Si beam further adversely affects the thermal conductivity by absorbing and dissipating phonon along the lattice, and therefore further reduces the cross plane thermal conductivity, This process increases the electron density of state therefore increasing Seebeck coefficient, and the electric conductivity.

In a paper presented to the Society in 1867–8 I deduced from certain hypothetical considerations regarding Dissipation of Energy results connected with the thermal and electric conductivity of bodies, the electric convection of heat, &c. As these were all of a confessedly somewhat speculative character, I printed at the time only that connected with thermal conductivity, which I had the means of comparing with experiment, and which seemed to accord fairly with Forbes' experimental results. But the assumption on which this was based was essentially involved in all the other portions of the paper.

The paper contains some curious applications of the principle of dissipation to the conduction of heat, the connection of heat and electricity, thermo-electric currents, the electric convection of heat, &c. But in this abstract we confine ourselves to one very simple case of the conduction of heat, as the hypothesis on which it is investigated is fundamentally assumed in all the other applications.

We investigate the holographic DC conductivity of (2[Formula: see text]+[Formula: see text]1)-dimensional systems while considering hyperscaling violating geometry in bulk. We consider Einstein–Maxwell-dilaton system with two gauge fields and Liouville-type potential for dilaton. We also consider axionic fields in bulk to introduce momentum relaxation in the system. We apply an external magnetic field to study the response of the system and obtain analytic expressions for DC conductivity, Hall angle and (thermo)electric conductivity.

Pure nickel foil, obtained in Paris by Dr Andrews, was cut into spiral about 20 inches long, and it was on this spiral that all the following experiments were made. During the month of November 1875 a large number of experiments were made as to its thermoelectric properties, and these were found to be almost identical with that of the specimen from observations on which the line was laid down on the “thermo-electric diagram.” (Trans. R.S.E., 1872–3.) This line, it will be remembered, is a peculiar one, and is very similar to that of iron, with this difference, that the peculiar changes take place at much lower temperatures in nickel than in iron.

In RBL-2H3 rat basophilic leukemia cells, antigen binding to cell surface IgE-receptor complexes stimulates the release of inflammatory mediators and initiates a series of membrane and cytoskeletal events including a transformation of the cell surface from a microvillous to a lamellar topography. It is likely that dynamic properties of the IgE receptor contribute to the activation of these responses. Fewtrell and Metzger have established that limited crosslinking of IgE-receptor complexes is essential to trigger secretion. In addition, Baird and colleagues have reported that antigen binding causes a rapid immobilization of IgE-receptor complexes, and we have demonstrated an apparent increase with time in the affinity of IgE-receptor complexes for antigen.

In the 30 years since the discovery of the nucleosome, our picture of it has come into sharp focus. The recent high-resolution structures have provided a wealth of insight into the function of the nucleosome, but they are inherently static. Our current knowledge of how nucleosomes can be reconfigured dynamically is at a much earlier stage. Here, recent advances in the understanding of chromatin structure and dynamics are highlighted. The ways in which different modes of nucleosome reconfiguration are likely to influence each other are discussed, and some of the factors likely to regulate the dynamic properties of nucleosomes are considered.
