Dendritic coarsening in Al-2mol%Si alloy during isothermal solidification at 880K was investigated by phase field modeling.Three coarsening mechanisms operate in the alloy: (a) melting of small BC020 dendrite arms; (b) coalescence of dendrites near the tips leading to the entrapment of liquid droplets; (c) smoothing of dendrites.Dendrite melting is
On 8 October 2017, persistent heavy rainfall triggered a rock collapse on Fenghuang Mountain in Wuxi Town, located within the Three Gorges Reservoir region of China.Subsequent field investigations and monitoring identified several potentially unstable rock masses in the area, posing a significant threat to the safety of nearby residents and their p
ABSTRACTThe Anopheles symbiont, Microsporidia MB, is maternally inherited and has a strong malaria transmission-blocking phenotype in Anopheles arabiensis.Microsporidia MB is also vertically transmitted, sexually transmitted, and avirulent.These characteristics are expected to promote its spread through mosquito populations, enhancing the potential
Recently, several new metaheuristic schemes have been introduced in the literature.Although all these approaches consider very different phenomena as metaphors, the search patterns used to explore the search space are very similar.On the other hand, second-order Apparel systems are models that present different temporal behaviors depending on the v
10m Coaxial We propose a method to experimentally measure the internal energy of a system of ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices by coupling them to the fields of two optical cavities.We show that the tunnelling and self-interaction terms of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian can be mapped to the field and photon number of each ca
