On the thermodynamic consistency of Quasi-linear viscoelastic models for soft solids
(Elsevier, 2020-12-15)Originating in the field of biomechanics, Fung's model of quasi-linear viscoelasticity (QLV) is one of the most popular constitutive theories employed to compute the time-dependent relationship between stress and deformation ... -
On the third- and fourth-order constants of incompressible isotropic elasticity.
(Acoustical Society of America, 2010-04-25)Consider the constitutive law for an isotropic elastic solid with the strain-energy function expanded up to the fourth order in the strain and the stress up to the third order in the strain. The stress-strain relation can ... -
On the Torus degeneration of the genus two partition function
(World Scientific Publishing, 2013-07-16)We consider the partition function of a general vertex operator algebra V on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing together two tori. We consider the non-trivial degeneration limit where one torus is pinched down ... -

One-pot hydrogen peroxide and hydrohalic acid induced ring closure and selective aromatic halogenation to give new ring-fused benzimidazoles
(American Chemical Society, 2015-05-19)A new series of selectively dichlorinated and dibrominated five- to eight-membered-ring [1,2-a]-fused benzimidazoles and [1,4]oxazino[4,3-a]benzimidazoles are synthesized in mostly high yields of >80% using the reaction ... -
Onset of non-linearity in the elastic bending of blocks
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2013-01-25)The classical flexure problem of non-linear incompressible elasticity is revisited assuming that the bending angle suffered by the block is specified instead of the usual applied moment. The general moment-bending angle ... -
OpenTCC: An open source low-cost temperature-control chamber
(Elsevier, 2020-02-24)Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) are emerging systems for environmental applications such as renewable energy production or pollution remediation. MET research often requires stable temperatures and low levels ... -
Opportunistic bacteria dominate the soil microbiome response to phenanthrene in a microcosm-based study
(Frontiers Media, 2018-11-21)Bioremediation offers a sustainable approach for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the environment; however, information regarding the microbial communities involved remains limited. In this study, ... -
Optical Observations of PSR J0205+6449
(2008)PSR J0205+6449 is a X-ray and radio pulsar in supernova remnant 3C 58. We report on observations of the central region of 3C 58 using the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope with the intention of identifying the optical ... -
Optical pulsations from the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1048.1-5937
(2009)We present high-speed optical photometry of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1048.1-5937 obtained with ULTRACAM on the 8.2-m Very Large Telescope in June 2007. We detect 1E 1048.1-5937 at a magnitude of i'=25.3+/-0.2, consistent ... -
Optical system of aplanatic telescope with a 100 m spherical primary mirror
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2022-06-30)We propose an optical system of an extremely large telescope for ground-based or planetary use. The system comprises a segmented spherical mirror with a diameter of 100 m and f-number of f/1. There are three annular zones ... -
Optimization of a hydrogen combustion mechanism using both direct and indirect measurements
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-07-05)The Keromnes et al. (2013) mechanism for hydrogen combustion has been optimized using a large set of indirect experimental data, consisting of ignition measurements in shock tubes (566 datapoints in 43 datasets) and rapid ... -
