The specific values of the conductivity [Formula: see text] and its variation with temperature [Formula: see text] of 2-pentanol and 2-methyl-1-pentanol liquids doped with different concentrations of NaI (abbreviated as 2PEN-[Formula: see text]NaI and 2M1PEN-[Formula: see text]NaI, respectively) ([Formula: see text], 1% and 5%) are measured by the commercial equipment. The results show that whether NaI is doped or not, [Formula: see text] of 2PEN-[Formula: see text]NaI and 2M1PEN-[Formula: see text]NaI all have a conductivity peak in the range of 300–350 K different from that of typical glass-formers of small molecules. In addition, [Formula: see text] goes up with increasing [Formula: see text], and the temperature corresponding to [Formula: see text] maximum increases with rising NaI content. Moreover, there is a nonlinear behavior of [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], i.e., with rising [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] decreases at low-temperatures, but increases at high-temperatures. Moreover, the liquid structure and its variation with [Formula: see text] are further analyzed based on the ionic conductivity.

Spurious kinks in estimated palaeogeotherms may result from small errors in the calibration of the geothermometers and geobarometers. New data indicate that the equilibrium solubility of alumina in enstatite is even less than shown by recent studies, and that the slopes (d T /d P ) of the isopleths of equal alumina content are steeper than hitherto believed. Consequently, pressures of equilibration estimated from current formulations of the orthopyroxene-garnet geobarometer will be too high at high temperatures (> 1200 °C) and too low at low temperatures.

Abstract Personality has been observed in a variety of animal taxa with important implications in ecology and evolution. Exploring the influence of environmental temperature during early life on personality could help to understand the ontogeny of this phenotypic trait in animals. In this study, we reared newborn mosquitofish Gambusia affinis at high (30°C) and low (25°C) water temperatures and measured their shyness and exploration upon sexual maturity. We tested the repeatability of each behavioral trait; the correlation between them; and the effects of rearing temperature, sex, and body length on the behaviors. When growing up at low temperatures, female fish exhibited repeatability in shyness and exploration, and males exhibited marginal repeatability in shyness. However, neither of the 2 behaviors were repeatable when the fish were reared at high temperatures. There was a negative correlation between shyness and exploration, indicating that the 2 behaviors comprise a behavioral syndrome in this species. Mosquitofish reared at high temperatures were more explorative than those reared at low temperatures, while there was no difference in shyness between the 2 treatments. Body length and sex had no significant effects on the average values of the 2 behaviors. The results indicate that environmental temperature during early life could shape the personality of mosquitofish and modify the average of the behavioral traits. These findings might provide insights to understand the ontogeny of animal personality and how changes in environmental temperature influence animal dispersal by shaping their personality.

ABSTRACTTo develop higher density FRAM requires reducing cell size. Therefore, the size effects resulting from device processing and the material's physical properties must be measured. Therefore, analyzing the electric characteristics of a single bit cell capacitor has become important. Two known characteristics of ferroelectric material are that the Vc increases at low temperatures, and the Pr falls at high temperatures. To further evaluate the impact of temperature on ferroelectrics, we constructed a new evaluation system based on a scanning probe microscope, that can measure the electric characteristics of a single bit cell capacitor. This system can be used in the temperature range from −120 degrees to 300 degrees C. We accomplished this by circulating liquid nitrogen around a SPM stage and by using an electrical heater. We measured the electrical properties of ferroelectric microcapacitors by using a sample with IrOx/PZT/Pt structure. Our measurements revealed that 2Pr really increases at low temperatures, and Pr decreases at high temperatures. That is, we have shown that Vc increases 30% at low temperatures and Pr decreases 10% also in an actual FRAM single bit cell capacitor.

ABSTRACTEffects of ternary additions on the deformation behavior of single crystals of MoSi2 with the hard [001] and soft [0 15 1] orientations have been investigated in compression and compression creep. The alloying elements studied include V, Cr, Nb and Al that form a C40 disilicide with Si and W and Re that form a C11b disilicide with Si. The addition of Al is found to decrease the yield strength of MoSi2 at all temperatures while the additions of V, Cr and Nb are found to decrease the yield strength at low temperatures and to increase the yield strength at high temperatures. In contrast, the additions of W and Re are found to increase the yield strength at all temperatures. The creep strain rate for the [001] orientation is significantly lower than that for the [0 15 1] orientation. The creep strain rate for both orientations is significantly improved by alloying with ternary elements such as Re and Nb.

The effects of the cross-anisotropy of different materials of the asphalt surface layer and the depth-temperature relationship on pavement responses and damage are investigated. A three-dimensional Finite-Element Model (FEM) of the pavement, which considers the depth-temperature relationship of the surface layer under moving tire load, is developed. Pavement damage models are established to evaluate the damage ratio for primary rutting and fatigue cracking. The results show that the compressive strain at the bottom of the surface layer increases as the temperature increases, and the cross-anisotropy (n-value) decreases, indicating that a decrease in the horizontal modulus of different materials of the surface layer increases the damage ratio for primary rutting at high temperatures. The tensile strain at the bottom of the surface layer declines as the n-value increases to 1. For the same change in the n-value, the rate of change of the damage ratio for fatigue cracking is greater at low temperatures than at high temperatures, demonstrating that the number of allowable load repetitions is more sensitive at low temperatures. In addition, the effect of cross-anisotropy and temperature on the vertical stress are larger on the top of the base than in the subbase and subgrade.

Molten chloride salts are the main components in liquid metal batteries, high-temperature heat storage materials, heat transfer mediums, and metal electrolytes. In this paper, interest is centered on the influence of the LiCl component and temperature on the local structure and transport properties of the molten LiCl-NaCl-KCl system over the temperature range of 900 K to 1200 K. The liquid structure and properties have been studied across the full composition range by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of a sufficient length to collect reliable values, such as the partial radial distribution function, angular distribution functions, coordination numbers distribution, density, self-diffusion coefficient, ionic conductivity, and shear viscosity. Densities obtained from simulations were underestimated by an average 5.7% of the experimental values. Shear viscosities and ionic conductivity were in good agreement with the experimental data. The association of all ion pairs (except for Li-Li and Cl-Cl) was weakened by an increasing LiCl concentration. Ion clusters were formed in liquids with increasing temperatures. The self-diffusion coefficients and ionic conductivity showed positive dependences on both LiCl concentration and temperature, however, the shear viscosity was the opposite. By analyzing the hydrodynamic radii of each ion and the coordination stability of cation-anion pairs, it was speculated that ion clusters could be the cation-anion coordinated structure and affected the macro properties.

High-temperature forging experiments have been carried out by axial compression testing on a Fe–41Al–2Cr alloy in order to determine the deformation systems operating under such high-speed, high-temperature conditions, and to examine the textures produced by such deformation and during subsequent annealing to recrystallize. Deformation is deduced to take place by the operation of 〈111〉 {110} and 〈111〉{112} slip systems at low temperatures and by 〈100〉{001} and 〈100〉{011} slip systems at high temperatures, with the formation of the expected strong 〈111〉 textures. The examination of the weak 〈100〉 texture component is critical to distinguishing the operating slip system. Both texture and dislocation analyses are consistent with the operation of these deformation systems. Recrystallization takes place extremely quickly at high temperatures (above 800 °C), that is within seconds after deformation and also dynamically during deformation itself. Recrystallization changes the texture such that 〈100〉 textures superimpose on the deformation texture. The flow stress peak observed during forging is found at a very high temperature. Possible origins of the peak are examined in terms of the operating slip systems.

The induction of diapause in the pupa of Diataraxia oleracea is influenced by temperature and photoperiod during the larval stage. Low temperatures and short photoperiods tend to induce diapause while high temperatures and long photoperiods tend to prevent diapause. Diapause is not influenced by light intensity during the larval stage providing the intensity is above a certain minimum. Diapause is prevented at high temperatures (30-34° C.) if the larvae are reared in darkness. The photoperiod is operative as a factor influencing diapause only between the beginning of the moulting sleep prior to ecdysis to the last instar and the 3rd-5th day of the last instar. A single diapause-preventing photo-period during the moulting sleep is probably sufficient to prevent diapause. Diapause in D. oleracea is not influenced by photoperiodically controlled substances in the larval food plant.
