This paper aims to qualitatively summarize the results up until now obtained in investigating the compatibility between the absoluteness of time and several well-known phenomena, such as the alleged increase of the mean lifetime of muons and the so-called relativistic corrections for GPS, whose explanation is commonly provided by resorting to Einstein’s Relativity. To make the discussion more flowing, we have herein preferred to completely avoid the writing of equations. All the analytical solutions, as well as several explicative figures, can be found in the first six articles cited in the references, drafted by the same author of this manuscript.

The reaction O + OH → O2 + H in conditions of combustion of hydrocarbons and polymers was modelled by using the method of quasiclassical trajectories. The potential energy surface was determined by the multiconfiguration interaction method and fitted with the analytical form of the extended LEPS function. Attention was paid to the mean values of the vibrational and rotational quantum numbers of O2 molecules and their temperature dependence. The temperature dependence of the mean lifetime of the OOH collision complex was also examined. The calculated rate constants were analyzed and compared with the experimental data over the temperature region of the combustion processes.

<p>We develop a theory to investigate how energetic nonhomogeneity of active sites determines the overall activity of an electrocatalyst and how the evolution of the nonhomogeneity determines the overall durability. The simple theory is amenable to exact analytical solutions and thus fosters an in-depth transparent analysis. It is revealed that nonhomogeneity does not necessarily diminish the electrocatalytic activity; instead, the highest overall activity is obtained with a suitable level of nonhomogeneity that is commensurate with the mean property. The evolution kinetics of nonhomogeneity is described by using the Fokker-Planck theory. Exponential decay of the activity is predicted theoretically and confirmed experimentally. The present work represents a first step toward closing the gap between model and practical electrocatalysts using statistical considerations.</p>

The mean lifetime of an embryo in the homogeneous nucleation from aqueous solution of the tetracyanoplatinates(II) of barium, calcium, and magnesium has been studied using the droplet technique. Supersaturation in the droplets was generated by selective extraction of the solvent into the surrounding silicone oil. Crystallization in the droplets was followed by photomicrography using plane polarized light.The data were analyzed using both the classical model and the mean lifetime model of Carlier and Frisch. The experimental results are consistent with the predicted relationship between the logarithm of the nucleation rate or the logarithm of the mean lifetime of an embryo and the inverse of the square of the logarithm of the supersaturation ratio at high supersaturation ratios. The calculated values of the inter-facial energy, using both models, are in close enough agreement to justify the assumptions made in the analysis.

Printed circuit boards have been reported to have limited lifetime at 200 to 250°C. Characterization and modeling high temperature laminates for application at 200 to 250°C was conducted to better quantify the mean lifetime using accelerated testing of key functional parameters. Life testing and model development was applied for via cyclic life, peel strength, and weight loss. Four high temperature laminates consisting of 2 types were evaluated. Via lifetime was characterization using Interconnect Stress Test (IST) coupons. Peel strength was tested using IPC IPC-TM-650 method 2.4.8c. Weight loss was characterized using isothermal aging. Comparison of lifetime is made between the laminate samples.

L-Glutamate, L-aspartate and L-cysteate all produce current fluctuations when applied to the excitatory junctional membrane of Maia squinado . This post-synaptic ‘noise’ indicates that all three substances cause an elementary conductance event of approximately the same amplitude but with different average lifetimes. The mean lifetime of the ‘molecular shot effect’ produced by L-aspartate and L-cysteate is only about half that of L-glutamate.

Positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) is one of the nuclear techniques used in material science. The present measurements are used to study the behavior of defect concentration in one of the most important materials — aluminum alloy — which is a 7075 alloy. It has been shown that positrons can become trapped in imperfect locations in solids and their mean lifetime can be influenced by changes in the concentration of such defects. No changes have been observed in the mean lifetime values after the saturation of defect concentration. The mean lifetime and trapping rates were studied for samples deformed up to 58.3%. The concentration of defect range varies (from 1015 to 1018 cm-3) at the thickness reduction, (from 2.3 to 58.3%). The range of the dislocation density varies (from 108 to 1011 cm/cm3).

We consider semi-implicit Euler methods for stochastic age-dependent capital system with variable delays and random jump magnitudes, and investigate the convergence of the numerical approximation. It is proved that the numerical approximate solutions converge to the analytical solutions in the mean-square sense under given conditions.

The effect of diffusing defects such as vacancies, displacements, torsions, and rotational isomers on the nmr and dielectric relaxation behaviour is treated under various aspects. The influences of the dimensionality of the diffusion process, of the mutual hindrance, of the defect concentration, of the defect length and of the mean lifetime are derived and discussed.
