The effect of adhesion on the elastic-plastic deformation of sliding contacts was examined with the finite element method. The adhesive interaction of a rigid asperity moving over a homogeneous elastic-plastic half-space was modeled by nonlinear springs obeying a constitutive law derived from the Lennard–Jones potential. The effects of the work of adhesion, interaction distance (interfacial gap), Maugis parameter, and plasticity parameter (defined as the work of adhesion divided by the half-space yield strength and the intermolecular equilibrium distance) on the evolution of the normal and friction forces, subsurface stresses, and plastic deformation at steady-state sliding are interpreted in light of finite element results of displacement-control simulations of sliding contact. The normal and friction forces and the rate of energy dissipation due to plastic deformation at steady-state sliding sharply increase with the interaction distance. Although a higher work of adhesion produces a lower normal force, it also intensifies the friction force, enhances material pile-up ahead of the sliding asperity, and exacerbates the asymmetry of both the deformed surface profile and the normal stress field. The variation of the normal force with the plasticity parameter is explained by the dominant effect of subsurface plastic deformation above a critical plasticity parameter. Simulation results are shown to be in good agreement with those of previous experimental and numerical studies.

Use of the electron microscope to examine wet objects is possible due to the small mass thickness of the equilibrium pressure of water vapor at room temperature. Previous attempts to examine hydrated biological objects and water itself used a chamber consisting of two small apertures sealed by two thin films. Extensive work in our laboratory showed that such films have an 80% failure rate when wet. Using the principle of differential pumping of the microscope column, we can use open apertures in place of thin film windows.Fig. 1 shows the modified Siemens la specimen chamber with the connections to the water supply and the auxiliary pumping station. A mechanical pump is connected to the vapor supply via a 100μ aperture to maintain steady-state conditions.

We performed a steady state high-yielding depolymerization of soluble acetal-stabilized lignin in flow, which offered a window into challenges and opportunities that will be faced when continuously processing this feedstock.

This paper discusses a theoretical method for the “reverse engineering” of networks based solely on steady-state (and quasi-steady-state) data.

Summary Research was undertaken to determine whether olfactory stimulation can alter steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) topography. Odor-air and air-only stimuli were used to determine whether the SSVEP would be altered when odor was present. Comparisons were also made of the topographic activation associated with air and odor stimulation, with the view toward determining whether the revealed topographic activity would differentiate levels of olfactory sensitivity by clearly identifying supra- and subthreshold odor responses. Using a continuous respiration olfactometer (CRO) to precisely deliver an odor or air stimulus synchronously with the natural respiration, air or odor (n-butanol) was randomly delivered into the inspiratory airstream during the simultaneous recording of SSVEPs and subjective behavioral responses. Subjects were placed in groups based on subjective odor detection response: “yes” and “no” detection groups. In comparison to air, SSVEP topography revealed cortical changes in response to odor stimulation for both response groups, with topographic changes evident for those unable to perceive the odor, showing the presence of a subconscious physiological odor detection response. Differences in regional SSVEP topography were shown for those who reported smelling the odor compared with those who remained unaware of the odor. These changes revealed olfactory modulation of SSVEP topography related to odor awareness and sensitivity and therefore odor concentration relative to thresholds.
