Evaluation of frost heave model using measured values for temperature and water intake rate near the freezing front by Takeshi Ishizaki, Satoshi Nishimura

“…With a kinetic model, in which the water intake rate is determined by the chemical potential difference between the ice lens and the nearby water film, it was found that the calculated results and the actual measurement results corresponded well when the self-diffusion coefficient of the water film near the ice lens was used as a fitting parameter.…”

Isothermal Drying Kinetic Study of Spent Coffee Grounds Using Thermogravimetric Analysis by Victoria Bejenari, Cătălin Lisa, Corina Cernătescu, Ioan Mămăligă, Gabriela Lisa

“…The drying rate has been established to be about 2.6 times slower than the rate of water evaporation under the same conditions; as a result the overall process is controlled by the effective water diffusion in the layer. This aspect is important in industrial practice for sizing tubular dryers. …”

Health information sharing – conceptual clarification and exploratory analysis in the context of mammography screening by Paula Stehr, Elena Link, Constanze Rossmann

“…The results shed light on two facets for the conceptual clarification of health information sharing: sharing in the sense of selecting and passing on information (cf. diffusion of information by opinion leaders) and sharing as the mutual exchange of opinions and experiences. …”

Phase-Field Modelling of Bimodal Dendritic Solidification During Al Alloy Die Casting by Maryam Torfeh, Zhichao Niu, Hamid Assadi

“…The model is based on thermodynamic formulations that account for temperature changes due to phase transformation heat, thermal boundary conditions, and solute diffusion in both liquid and solid phases. To replicate the observed bimodal microstructure, solid–liquid interface properties such as thickness, energy, and mobility were systematically varied to reflect the transition from the shot sleeve to the die cavity. …”

Into the ears, through the head, out on the lips. How listening errors can trigger new instances of palatalisation by Olivier Glain

“…Dans un deuxième temps, l’accent est mis sur l’un des paramètres pouvant en partie expliquer l’évolution linguistique, celui des erreurs de perception qui peuvent entraîner un changement dans la représentation phonologique d’items lexicaux chez certains récepteurs, et donc conduire à un véritable changement de son. La question de la diffusion d’une innovation à la communauté linguistique, c’est-à-dire l’actuation du changement, est ensuite abordée. …”
