Investigation of the Effects of Evaporation Methods on the High-Temperature Rheological and Fatigue Performances of Emulsified Asphalt Residues by Yang Sun, Jin-Chao Yue, Ri-Ran Wang, Rui-Xia Li, De-Cai Wang

“…The results reveal that the evaporation process leads to oxidation and hardening of the residues. The hardening degree of the ASTM D7497-09 evaporation method is higher than that of the EN13074 evaporation method, and the hardening degree of the EN13074 evaporation method is higher than that of the direct heating method. …”

The Rapidity Distributions and the Thermalization Induced Transverse Momentum Distributions in Au-Au Collisions at RHIC Energies by Zhi-Jin Jiang, Jia-Qi Hui, Yu Zhang

“…It is also widely recognized that the relativistic hydrodynamics is one of the best tools for describing the process of expansion and hadronization of QGP. In this paper, by taking into account the effects of thermalization, a hydrodynamic model including phase transition from QGP state to hadronic state is used to analyze the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of identified charged particles produced in heavy ion collisions. …”
