The presented manuscript identifies the mix design parameters important for the glasstransition temperature and thermo-volumetric properties of asphalt–concrete mixes. Anumber of compacted specimens were prepared at air-void content, by mixingcomposition of materials in terms of aggregate origins, asphalt types, andgradations. The compacted mixes were later sized to required dimensions and weresubjected to a uniform rate of cooling in a specially designed testing machine. Thecontraction of the sample during the cooling was measured by linear vertical displacementtransducers, and the recorded values obtained were converted into longitudinal strain. Allvariables investigated in the study were found statistically significant to impact the glasstransition temperature of asphalt paving mixes. The methodology adopted in this studyprovides a new approach to predict glass transition temperatures in asphalt–concrete mixesand identifies the mix parameters that will be helpful in delaying the glass transitiontemperature of the mix for reliable performance of asphaltic pavements in cold regions.

Measurement of the inclusive 3-jet production differential cross section in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV and determination of the strong coupling constant in the TeV range
Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-05-01)
This paper presents a measurement of the inclusive 3-jet production differential cross section at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb(-1) collected with the CMS detector. The analysis is based on the three jets with the highest transverse momenta. The cross section is measured as a function of the invariant mass of the three jets in a range of 445-3270 GeV and in two bins of the maximum rapidity of the jets up to a value of 2. A compari...
Measurement of the flavour composition of dijet events in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Aad, G.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-02-01)
This paper describes a measurement of the flavour composition of dijet events produced in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector. The measurement uses the full 2010 data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 39 pb(-1). Six possible combinations of light, charm and bottom jets are identified in the dijet events, where the jet flavour is defined by the presence of bottom, charm or solely light flavour hadrons in the jet. Kinematic variables, based on the properties of displace...
Study of phase transitions in polymorphic liquid crystals
Nesrullajev, A; Salihoglu, S; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 1998-01-01)
This work presents our investigations of mezomorphic properties of two polymorphic liquid crystals, namely, 4-nonyloxy-4-butoxyphenyl benzoate and N-(-4-heptyloxybenzylidene-4-butylaniline) in a wide temperature range, particularly, in the phase transition regions. By means of an original Experimental method. the heterophase regions and also the phase transition temperatures have been determined for these materials with high accuracy. These phase transition intervals have been analyzed using a mean field mo...
Analysis of various polarization asymmetries in the inclusive b -> s a"" (+) a"" (-) decay in the fourth-generation standard model
BASHIRY, VALİ; Bayar, M. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-06-01)
In this study a systematical analysis of various polarization asymmetries in inclusive b -> s a"" (+) a"" (-) decay in the standard model (SM) with four generation of quarks is carried out. We found that the various asymmetries are sensitive to the new mixing and quark masses for both of the mu and tau channels. Sizable deviations from the SM values are obtained. Hence, b -> s a"" (+) a"" (-) decay is a valuable tool for searching physics beyond the SM, especially in the indirect searches for the fourth-gen...
Calculation of the tilt angle and susceptibility for the alpha-beta transition in quartz using a mean field model
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Ates, S. (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2017-03-30)
Tilt angle (order parameter) and the susceptibility are calculated as a function of temperature for the alpha-beta transition in quartz using a Landau phenomenological model. The tilt angle as obtained from the model is fitted to the experimental data from the literature and the temperature dependence of the tilt angle susceptibility is predicted close to the alpha-beta transition in quartz. Our results show that the mean field model explains the observed behavior of the alpha-beta phase transition in quart...
