The self diffusion, hole volume, and flow thermodynamic parameters of polyamide fibers were calculated from rheological parameters and crystallite size in order to study of flow segments in amorphous region. The stress relaxation of polyamide filament fibers were carried out in air and various solvents at various temperatures using the tensile tester with the solvent chamber. The rheological parameters were obtained by applying the experimental stress relaxation curves to the theoretical equation of the Ree-Eyring and Maxwell non-Newtonian model. It was observed that the rheological parameters of these polyamide filament fibers are directly related to the relaxation spectra, self diffusion, viscosities, and activation energies of flow segments.

To estimatc mutual diffusion coefficient for the analysis of mass transfer phenomena in polymer/solvent system, two models are proposed and the equations are derived. The estimates of mutual diffusion coefficients are obtained by two models suggested in this work and compared with and experimental data and Vrentas-Duda's. Vrentas-Duda's self diffusion coefficient was used for the mutual diffusion coefficient. Derivative of chemical potential on solvent was derived and used using original UNIFAC-FV and modified UNIFAC-FV. However, Vrentas-Duda's equation for mutual diffusion coefficient contains Flory-Huggins parameter x. For the derivative of chemical potential term, Vrentas-Duda assumed that parameter x was constant and independent of temperatures and concentrations The assumption is one of shortcoming in vrentas-Duda's mutual diffusion coefficient. New methods proposed in this work do not have such assumptions and simplifications. For the solvent of cyclohexane, n-pentane, and n-hexane in PIB(polyisolbutylene) and PMS-BR (poly(p-methylstyrene-co-isobutylene), new methods well correlate the experimental data at various temperatures and concentrations, and predicted the experimental data much better than Vrentas-Duda's for the PIB/toluene system. It is shown that new methods are excellent tools for correlating mutual diffusion coefficient data in polymer/solvent system over wide ranges of temperature and concentration without any assumptions or simplifications.

Dislocation dipoles were formed in the early stage of deformation of Y-CSZ single crystal at high temperatures. And the dipoles were pinched off to break into dipoles loops by dislocation climb. Dislocation loop annealing was peformed in Y-CSZ single crystal to evaluate the diffusivity of cation which was the rate-controlling ion.

Device performance for the 45 and 32 nm node CMOS technology requires the integration of ultralow-k materials. To lower the dielectric constant for PECVD and spin-on materials, partial replacement of the solid network with air (k=1.01) appears to be more intuitive and direct option. This can be achieved introducting of second "labile" phase during depositoin that is removed during a subsequent UV curing and annealing step. Besides, with shrinking line dimensions the resistivity of barrier films cannot meet the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) requirements. To solve this issue self-forming diffusion barriers have drawn attention for great potential technique in meeting all ITRS requirments. In this present work, we report a Cu-V alloy as a materials for the self-forming barrier process. And we investigated diffusion barrier properties of self-formed layer on low-k dielectrics with or without UV curing treatment. Cu alloy films were directly deposited onto low-k dielectrics by co-sputtering, followed by annealing at various temperatures. X-ray diffraction revealed Cu (111), Cu (200) and Cu (220) peaks for both of Cu alloys. The self-formed layers were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. In order to compare barrier properties between V-based interlayer on low-k dielectric with UV curing and interlayer on low-k dielectric without UV curing, thermal stability was measured with various heat treatment temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that chemical compositions of self-formed layer. The compositions of the V based self-formed barriers after annealing were strongly dominated by the O concentration in the dielectric layers.

During the Hg₂Br₂ physical vapor transport process with self-diffusion, it is concluded that for 10^-3g₀≤ g ≤ 1g₀ the thermal buoyancy driven convection is dominant in the vapor phase; at the gravitational level of g = 10^-4g₀, the transition region from the convection to diffusion occurs; for 10^-6g₀ ≤ g ≤ 10^-5g₀, the diffusion mode is predominant. The total molar flux of Hg₂Br₂ decays exponentially with the decreasing of one tenth of gravitational magnitude. For 10℃ ≤ ΔT ≤ 50℃, the total molar flux increases linearly and directly with the temperature difference between the source and crystal regions.

The structure of a non-axisymmetric propane diffusion flame was investigated. Tomographic reconstruction method to convert the line-integrated self-emission data of a fuel-rich diffusion flame with square cross-section was applied to get the spatially reconstructed emission data. Modified Shepp-Logan filter and concentric squares raster were chosen for reconstructing arbitrarily shaped object in this process. Spatially reconstructed emission data were then interpreted to several physical quantities, such as flame edge, FWHM, perimeter and 3-D flame temperature distribution. Necessary assumptions were discussed and the results were interpreted. In comparison with axisymmetric flame, flame edge was developed higher, and sooting region of upstream was broader than in this non-axisymmetric one. At some height, the flame was shrunk very rapidly and finally formed circular cross-section.

In this paper, we propose a neural-network that detects moving objects in an image using a diffusion neural network. The proposed neural network is improved by adding a self loop to diffusion layer to remove the noise in an image and to reduce the detection of phantom edge. Computer simulation with real images show that the proposed neural network can extract edges of moving object efficiently.

As a mathematical model proposed to understand the behaviors of interacting species, cross-diffusion systems with functional responses of prey-predator type are considered. In order to obtain $W^{1_2}$-estimates of the solutions, we make use of several forms of calculus inequalities and embedding theorems. We consider the quasilinear parabolic systems with the cross-diffusion terms, and without the self-diffusion terms because of the simplicity of computations. As the main result we derive the uniform $W^{1_2}$-bound of the solutions and obtain the global existence in time.

Recently, as the importance of structural maintenance has been increased, studies on self - healing concrete technology are being actively carried out. On the other hand, test for evaluating the self-healing performance is not standardized yet. Although visual test is used as a basic method for measuring crack widths, it is difficult to observe the crack width inside the specimen, and there is a disadvantage that only the local measurement of the surface can be measured due to the inhomogeneous cracking characteristics. Although permeability test has been widely used as an indirect method for measuring crack width, there is a problem due to the viscosity of water, and also a possibility that the internal material of the specimen may be eluted during the test. In this study, we propose a crack width evaluation method using gas diffusion characteristics. Idealized straight cracks were fabricated by acrylic and the diffusion coefficients of specimens were analyzed with respect to crack width and thickness. The experimental results show that the crack width and the diffusion coefficient are in a linear relationship and that the thickness and diffusion coefficient are inversely related.

The effects of convection on the measurement of the diffusion coefficients of liquids by the pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) NMR method at low temperature are discussed. To examine the generation of convective flows, we used four different types of sample tubes in the diffusion measurements with temperature variation; a normal 5 mm NMR tube, a Shigemi tube, an ELISE type tube, and a capillary tube. Below room temperature, the calculated diffusion coefficients of chloroform in 5 mm o.d. type tubes increased with decreasing temperature, while those in the capillary tube decreased linearly. The convective flow was found to be significant even at low temperature and it seemed to be mainly induced by the transverse temperature gradient. It was also found that the capillary tube was most appropriate to measure the diffusion coefficients, since its small diameter is effective in suppressing the convective flows at both high and low temperatures.
