The short-range diffusion phenomenon (Snoek Effect) was investigated by mechanical spectroscopy measurements between 300 K and 650 K, in a polycrystalline niobium sample, containing oxygen and nitrogen, using a torsion ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the chloride ions diffusion in sound and cracked concrete under compressive loads. The model includes the analytical setup and data analyses. The governing equations are modified to ...

Mathematical models bind theory to precise formulations, and by doing so accentuate logical inconsistences in theories and facilitate their testing. In this article we explore the implications of simple mathematical models ...

We examine mechanistic aspects of the diffusion between a series of liquid polystyrenes (PS) and a glassy poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) matrix, through the use of confocal Raman microspectroscopy. The results show that the ...

Diffusion is one of the main transport processes that occur inside cells determining the spatial and time distribution of relevant action molecules. In most cases these molecules not only diffuse but also interact with ...

Fresh persimmon has a high moisture content (about 85% wet basis) making it highly perishable and requiring adequate drying conditions to obtain an acceptable dehydrated product. Drying kinetics of persimmon cv. Rama Forte ...
