We investigated the transient electroluminescence (EL) and modulation characteristics of red organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which consist with 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-i -propyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-cnyl)-4H-pyran (DCJTI) and rubrene doped into tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum ($Alq_3$). The transient EL waveforms showed two components, the overshooting peak and constant component, indicating that the excess amount of accumulated charges simultaneously recombine at the onset moment. This overshooting effect reduced the rise time of transient EL and enhanced the optical output of OLEDs when the pulse voltage applied to the device. We demonstrated that the red OLEDs could be use for the high-speed switching application by driving at more than 100 MHz and transmitting the video signals utilized as the electro-optical conversion device

GroEL is a typical molecular chaperone. GroEL synthesis patterns at various culture temperatures in Escherichia coli were investigated in this study. No significant differences in the amount of GroEL produced from the chromosome were found at 30 and 37$^{\circ}C$. However, GroEL production increased 3.4-fold at 42$^{\circ}C$. GroEL synthesis was not transient but continuous at 42$^{\circ}C$, although most heat shock gene expression is known to be transient. To understand the role of the groEL structural gene, a groE promoter-lacZ fusion was constructed. Interestingly , while transcriptional fusion is not thermally inducible, it is inducible by ethanol, suggesting that the secondary structure of the groEL transcript is involved in thermal regulation of the groEL gene. Secondary structures of groE mRNA at 37 and 42$^{\circ}C$ were compared using the computer program RNAdraw. Distinct structures at the two temperatures were found, and these structures may be related to a high level of GroEL expression at 42$^{\circ}C$.

Generally, it is necessary to perform transient structural analysis in order to verify and improve the seismic performance of high-rise buildings and bridges against earthquake loads. In this paper, we propose the model order reduction (MOR) method using the Krylov vectors to perform seismic analysis for linear and elastic systems in an efficient way. We then compared the proposed method with the mode superposition method (MSM) by using the limited numbers of modal vectors (or eigenvectors) calculated from the modal analysis. In the calculation, the data of the El Centro earthquake in 1940 were adopted for the seismic loading in the transient analysis. The numerical accuracy and efficiency of the two methods were compared in detail in the case of a simplified high-rise building.

Pseudomanas sp. EL-04J was previously isolated from phenol-acclimated activated sludge. This bacterium was capable of degrading phenol and cometabolizing trichloroethylene (TCE). After precultivation in the mineral salts medium containing phenol as a sole carbon source, Pseudomonas EL-04J degraded 90% of TCE $25 \mu\textrm{M}$ within 20 hours. Thus, phenol-induced Pseudomonas sp. EL-04J cells can bdegrade TCE. Followsing a transient lag period, Pseudomonas sp. EL-04J cells degraded TCE at concentrations of at least $250 \mu\textrm{M}$ with no apparent retardation in rate, but the transformance capacity of such cells was limited and depended on the cell concentration. The degradation rate of TCE followed the Michaelis-Menten kinetic model. The maximum degradation ratio ($V_{max}$) and saturation constant ($K_{m}$) were $7nmo {\ell}/min{\cdot}mg$ cell protein and $11 \mu\textrm{M}$, respectively. Cometabolism of TCE by phenol fed experiment was evaluated in $50m {\ell}$ serum vial that contained $10m {\ell}$ of meneral sals medium supplemented with $10 \mu\textrm{M}$ TCE degradation was inhibited in the initial period of 1 mM phenol addition, but after that time Pseudomonas sp. EL-04J cells degraded TCE and showed cell growth.

The transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generalized Couette flow with heat transfer through a porous medium of an electrically conducting, viscous, incompressible fluid bounded by two parallel insulating porous plates is studied in the presence of uniform suction and injection and a heat source considering the Hall effect. A uniform and constant pressure gradient is imposed in the axial direction and an externally applied uniform magnetic field as well as a uniform suction and injection are applied in the direction perpendicular to the plates. The two plates are kept at different but constant temperatures while the Joule and viscous dissipations are included in the energy equation. The effect of the Hall current, the porosity of the medium and the uniform suction and injection on both the velocity and temperature distributions is investigated.

We report failure mode observed in polymer EL blue devices, relating with life curve. The modes are analyzed by observing compositional and morphological variation using TEM-EDX, STM, and reverse engineering method as destructive ways, and also investigated mobility changes of hole and electron by measuring transient EL as a nondestructive way corresponding to life curve. We believe that the postulated failure modes in polymer EL devices can present right directions to obtain better performance, especially life time, of polymer devices in material and device structural designing points of view.

The present paper reports on a trial to shed further light on the characterization, applications, and operation of radar speed guns or Gunn diodes on different radiation environments of neutron or g fields. To this end, theoretical and experimental investigations of microwave oscillating system for outer-space applications were carried out. Radiation effects on the transient parameters and electrical properties of the proposed devices have been studied in detail with the application of computer programming. Also, the oscillation parameters, power characteristics, and bias current were plotted under the influence of different ${\gamma}$ and neutron irradiation levels. Finally, shelf or oven annealing processes were shown to be satisfactory techniques to recover the initial characteristics of the irradiated devices.

A 3D transient heat transfer model is developed by ABAQUS software to study the temperature distribution during friction stir welding process at different rotational speeds. Furthermore, AA 5083-O plates were joined by FSW technique. For this purpose, a universal milling machine was used to perform the welding process and a mechanical vice was used to fix the work pieces in the proper position. The joints were friction stir welded at a constant travel speed 50 mm/min and two rotational speed values; 400 rpm and 630 rpm using two types of tools; cylindrical threaded pin and tapered smooth one. At each welding condition the temperature was measured using infra-red thermal image camera to verify the simulated temperature distribution. The welded joints were visually inspected as well as by macro- and microstructure evolutions. In addition, the welded joints were mechanically tested for hardness and tensile strength. The maximum peak temperature obtained was at higher rotational speed using the threaded tool pin profile. The results showed that the rotational speed affects the peak temperature, defects formation and sizes, and the mechanical properties of friction stir welded joints. Moreover, the threaded tool gives superior mechanical properties than the tapered one at lower rotational speed.

This work resumes a research that proposes the use of the technique based on the dissipation energy of the shape memory alloy (SMA) ties. It focuses principally on the assessment of the effectiveness of the use of these smart materials on displacements, accelerations and the stresses of the minaret of the great mosque of Ajloun in Jordan. The 3-D finite element model of the minaret is performed by the ANSYS software. First of all, the proposed model is calibrated and validated according to the experimental results gathered from ambient vibration testing results. Then, a nonlinear transient analysis is considered, when the El-Centro earthquake is used as the input signal. Different simulating cases concerning the location, number and type of SMA devices are proposed in order to see their influence on the seismic response of the minaret. Hence, the results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed SMA device.

Origins for the transconductance dispersion and the gate leakage current in a GaAs metal semiconductor field effect transistor were found using capacitance deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements. In DLTS spectra, we observed two surface states with thermal activation energies of 0.65 $\times$ 0.07 eV and 0.88 $\times$ 0.04 eV and an electron trap EL2 with thermal activation energy of 0.84 $\times$ 0.01 eV. Transconductance was decreased in the frequency range of 5.5 Hz ~ 300 Hz. The transition frequency shifted to higher frequencies with the increase of temperature and the activation energy for the change of the transition frequency was determined to be 0.66 $\times$ 0.02 eV. From the measurements of the gate leakage current as a function of the device temperature, the forward and reverse currents are coincident with each other below gate voltages lower than 0.15 V, namely Ohmic behavior between gate and source/drain electrodes. The activation energy for the conductance of electrons on the surface of MESFET was 0.63 $\times$ 0.01 eV. Comparing activation energies obtained by different measurements, we found surface states H1 caused the transconductance dispersion and the fate leakage current.
