Ambient temperature as a trigger of preterm delivery in a temperate climate [PDF]
Background Recent evidence suggests that elevated ambient temperatures may trigger preterm delivery. Since results from studies in temperate climates are inconclusive, we investigated the association between temperature and the risk of preterm birth in Flanders (Belgium).

Significant efficiency improvement of conventional tempering by a novel flash tempering technique
A flash tempering process has been demonstrated for low-carbon low-alloy lath martensite, which includes heating the sample to 750 °C (Ac1: 752 °C), dwelling at 750 °C for 2 s, and quenching directly to room temperature.

Effect of Alloying Elements on the High-Temperature Tempering of Fe-0.3N Martensite
The precipitation behaviors of alloy nitrides during the high-temperature tempering of Fe-0.3mass%N-1mass%M (M: Cr, Mo, Mn, or Si) martensite obtained by gaseous nitriding and quenching was investigated.

Phase changes in 38 atom Lennard-Jones clusters. II: A parallel tempering study of equilibrium and dynamic properties in the molecular dynamics and microcanonical [PDF]
We study the 38-atom Lennard-Jones cluster with parallel tempering Monte Carlo methods in the microcanonical and molecular dynamics ensembles. A new Monte Carlo algorithm is presented that samples rigorously the molecular dynamics ensemble for a system ...

Hydrogen Diffusivity and Hydrogen Traps Behavior of a Tempered and Untempered Martensitic Steel
The effect of tempering temperature and tempering time on the density of hydrogen traps, hydrogen diffusivity, and microhardness in a vanadium-modified AISI 4140 martensitic steel was determined. Tempering parameters were selected to activate the second,
