OBJECTIFIKASI DIRI TUBUH DAN EGO DIRI DALAM FOTO KONSEPTUAL
Authors: Adi Purwastya Pratmajaya , Triadiputra S Andre
Published: June 2019

Objectification is a way to block things that are not supposed to be objects, which often in practice is not generally realized by those who become objects or make them become objects. The human body that appears in photographic imagery in modern life, becomes an appropriate example of how the collective unconsciousness of objectification practices is carried out and produced continuously. This unconsciousness will have an impact on human inability to control and master, and in other perspectives it will also build negative representations of the body and itself. In this work the collective unconscious is accommodated by the ego which then becomes personal awareness, where personal awareness will be conceptualized in the picture frame. This artistic research is interested in conducting an in-depth investigation of the behaviors of unconsciousness of objectification, especially those relating to the human body and self, then explored and used as ideas and foundations for the creation of photographic works. The choice of approach to realize this idea, will use conceptual photography which emphasizes the expression or context of the personal interpretation of the photo artist on a phenomenon as the basis of ideas and main ideas in the creation of his photographic artwork.Keywords: Self Objectification, Body and Ego, Conceptual Photos

Onomasticon of Levänluhta and Käldamäki region
Authors: Rahkonen Pauli
Published: June 2019

The water burials in the Levänluhta (the Isokyrö parish) and Käldamäki (the former Vöyri parish) sites in Ostrobothnia have been a great mystery for the scholars because of their unique character. The dating of the burials is 5th–8th centuries AD. Similar burials are not known elsewhere in Finland or in its neighbouring areas. The results of an onomastic study show that the earliest Finnish maritime toponyms appeared in the 9th century and the earliest Swedish toponyms in the late 13th century. This means that the burials most probably were not conducted by Finnish or Swedish speaking populations. In Vöyri, no obvious Saami toponyms are found, but in Isokyrö, a few Saami names can be recognized. Baltic toponyms are completely unknown. The words behind the names of the largest local rivers could possibly be derived from Proto-Finno-Permian, but alternatively it is possible that they represent obscure names of Paleo-European origin. Thus, the most probable linguistic groups behind the water burials might be speakers of the West Uralic x-language or Paleo-European.

Etymologisesti hämäriä -(is)tA-johdosverbejä, lainoja ja omapohjaisia
Authors: Koivulehto Jorma
Published: June 2019

Suomessa on paljon verbejä, joiden vartalo päättyy elementtiin -ta-/-tä-. Valtaosa on nomineista johdettuja ns. supistumaverbejä, joissa infinitiivin tunnus on alun perin liittynyt johtimen konsonanttivartaloon; johtimen edellä ollut nominin loppuvokaali on taas säilynyt: kuvata : kuvaan (*kuva-t-tak : *kuva-ta-n > *kuva-δa-n, vrt. kuva), lainata (vrt. laina), tervata (vrt. terva). Supistumaverbityyppi on nykyään erittäin produktiivinen ja siihen on liittynyt paljon myös lainoja, joiden vieras originaali on verbi: vrt. kelvata : kelpaan (vrt. germ. *χelpa-), maalata : maalaan (vrt. muinaisruotsin māla), pestata : pestaan (muinais- ja nykyruotsin fästa).

Toinen tyyppi on sellainen, että johdin liittyy konsonanttiseen tai yksi tavuiseen vokaaliseen kantavartaloon. Kiistattomia vanhoja verbikantaisia johdoksia ovat nostaa, vartalo nos-ta- (verbivartalosta nouse-); pistää, vartalo *pis-tä- (verbivartalosta *pise- > pysy-); päästää, vartalo pääs-tä- (verbivartalosta pääse-). Nominikantaisia taas ovat jäätää, vartalo jää-tä- (kantavartalo nomini jää); kaartaa (vrt. kaari), kannustaa (vrt. kannus). Tähän tyyppiin on mukautunut myös joukko vanhimpia verbilainoja, kuten niittää (niit-tä-, vrt. germ. *snīþ-e/a- ’leikata’), sietää (vrt. germ. *stē- > muinaisruotsin stā ’seisoa’, myös ’sietää’; vrt. engl. stand kielteisenä myös ’sietää’ jne.).

Tällaisten johdosten joukossa on jo useita, joiden hahmottaminen johdokseksi ei enää ole aivan selvää. Sellaisiksi voi kai lukea vaikkapa verbit kastaa (johdos substantiivista kasi ’kaste, kosteus’), säätää (? johdos substantiivista sää ’säie’, ks. SSA III 246) tai vuotaa (johdos substantiivista vuo ’virran uoma; virta’). Nykykielessä täysin perusvartalon veroisia ovat sellaiset vanhat johdokset, joiden kantasana on kielestä hävinnyt tai muuttunut tunnistamattomaksi: ostaa (*wos-ta-), kantasana on ollut substantiivi *wosa ’kauppatavara’, vanha indoeurooppalais-esigermaaninen laina, jonka originaalia edustaa nykysaksan Ware ’(kauppa)tavara’; pistää (vrt. yllä). Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen joitakin hämärtyneitä -ta-/-tä-johdoksia, etenkin vanhoja lainaverbejä, joissa tämä johdin esiintyy.

Lainaverbejä on muodostettu useilla muillakin suffikseilla. Otan tässä lisäksi esiin vain joitakin sellaisia verbejä, joissa on -(i)sta-/-(i)stä-suffiksi. Mukana on myös yksi omakantainen verbi. Suffiksia voi pitää yhdysperäisenä suffiksina perussuffiksista -ta-/-tä- (ks. Hakulinen 2000: 297). Käsittelen seuraavien verbien etymologioita: 1. hoitaa (hoiva), 2. hyötää, 3. höystää, höistää, 5. kaataa, 6. kostaa, 7. kuristaa, 8. ottaa, 9. pettää, 10. *taistaa, taisto, taistella. Lisäksi käsittelen verbien hyötää ja höystää kantasanaksi katsomani adjektiivin 4. hyvä etymologiaa. Alaviitteissä koskettelen lyhyesti vielä etymologiankannalta verbejä syöksyä/syöstä ja tunkea (alaviite 7, alaviite 13) ja nominia maa (alaviite 10).

Konstruktywistyczny szacunek do nauki. O podejściu Richarda Rorty’ego i Bruno Latoura
Authors: Markiewka Tomasz Szymon
Published: June 2019

Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie: jak można być konstruktywistą, a jednocześnie traktować naukę jako jedno z najważniejszych osiągnięć współczesnych społeczeństw? Jako że konstruktywizm jest bogatym nurtem, mającym wiele odmian, autor skupia się tylko na jego dwóch przedstawicielach – Richardzie Rortym i Bruno Latourze. Stara się dowieść, że z połączenia wybranych aspektów ich stanowisk można zbudować spójną odpowiedź na zadane pytanie. Choć Rorty i Latour odrzucają realistyczną wizję nauki, to jednocześnie przekonują, że nauka jest skutecznym sposobem na radzenie sobie ze światem, czy też – by użyć terminu Latoura – z czynnikami pozaludzkimi. Tak więc to pragmatyczna kategoria „radzenia sobie” – a nie filozoficznie rozumiane pojęcia reprezentacji bądź korespondencji – staje się uzasadneniem renomy nauki. Obaj myśliciele podkreślają, że skuteczność we wchodzeniu w interakcje z czynnikami pozaludzkimi jest wynikiem swoistej kultury współpracy i wzajemnej kontroli, wpisanej w działalność naukową.

MONASTERIES IN THE XII – THE FIRST HALF OF THE XIII CENTURY ON THE RIGHT BANK OF THE MIDDLE DNISTER
Authors: VOZNYJ Ihor
Published: June 2019

The article considers the problem of the formation and evolution of Christian monasteries in the cities of the right bank of the Middle Dnister. Whereas the black clergy was very significant in their layer. The Monasteries on the specified territory, as well as on the territory of South-West Rus, appeared in the middle of the XII century. It is shown their importance as a part of the city in spreading the Christian ideology. Also were considered the cave monasteries of the Dnister canyon. The cave monasteries began to operate in the Dnister canyon already from XIth, as it was indicated by the group of researchers. As the first “Cloister” for the monks served the rock shelters, mainsails, caves, widely represented in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains. For the installation of the monasteries usually are used the group of the caves and separately placed underground cavities could be settled by the the desert monks who were associated with Byzantine monastic traditions. The structure of the monastery could include the settlements. Probably the monasteries of XII – early XIII century owned so many lands with attached peasants, which was required only to meet their needs and not for benefication.
The Orthodox Monasteries of the XII – early XIII century were placed in the territory of ancient rusian cities or in nearby suburbs. Therefore, these sacral objects should be taken as a essential sign that a one or another inhabited locality in XII – early XIII century was a real city. In ancient rusian cities the black clergy in addition to its core missionary activities led an active social life.

Published: June 2019

Inflammation represents an adaptive response generated by injuries or harmful stimuli. Natural remedies represent an interesting alternative to traditional therapies, involving several biochemical pathways. Besides, the valorization of agrochemical wastes nowadays seems to be a feasible way to reduce the health spending and improve the accessibility at bioactive natural compounds. In this context, the chemical composition of three Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (licorice) leaf extracts, obtained through maceration or ultrasound-assisted method (fresh and dried leaves) was investigated. A guided fractionation obtained three main components: pinocembrin, glabranin and licoflavanone. All the extracts showed similar antioxidant properties, evaluated by 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) or 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) Diammonium Salt (ABTS) assay, while, among the isolated compounds, licoflavanone exhibited the best antioxidant activity. The anti-inflammatory activity of the extracts and the purified compounds was investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. Extract C and licoflavanone showed a good anti-inflammatory activity without affecting cell viability, as they decreased nitrite levels even when used at 12.5 μg/mL (p < 0.005) and 50 μM concentration (p < 0.001), respectively. Interestingly, licoflavanone markedly decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines and cyclooxygenase 2/inducible nitric oxide synthase (COX-2/iNOS) expression levels (p < 0.001). A modulation of nuclear factor kappa B/mitogen-activated protein kinases (NF-kB/MAPK) pathway underlay such behavior, highlighting the potential of this natural compound as a new scaffold in anti-inflammatory drug research.
Generation of Ultrafast Optical Pulses via Molecular Modulation in Ambient Air

Published: June 2019

We investigated the possibility of making ever-shorter optical pulses by using the nonlinearity of ambient air. We produced a broad spectrum consisting of mutually coherent optical sidebands via collinear Raman generation driven by two picosecond laser pulses that are Raman-resonant with molecular vibrations of nitrogen. We demonstrated the ability to adjust the sideband phases via dispersion control which we accomplished by changing the optical path length of the generated multi-color beam through a pair of tilted glass plates. The resultant measured phases suggest the generation of a 3-fs optical pulse train.

Authors: Choe Gyeongcheol , Kang Sukpyo , Kang Hyeju
Published: June 2019

In this study, a method was suggested to produce dried powder from red mud (RM) sludge with 40%–60% water content without heating. The RM sludge is discharged from the Bayer process, which is used to produce alumina from bauxite ores. Nonthermally treated RM (NTRM) powder was produced by mixing RM sludge (50%), paper sludge ash (PSA, 35%), and high-calcium fly ash (HCFA, 15%). The physicochemical properties of NTRM were investigated by analyzing its water content, X-ray fluorescence spectra, X-ray diffraction patterns, and particle size. Moreover, to examine the applicability of NTRM as a construction material, slag cement mortar in which 20 wt% of the binder was replaced with NTRM was produced, and the compressive strength, porosity, and water absorption rate of the mortar were evaluated. Results indicated that NTRM of acceptable quality was produced when the water content in RM sludge decreased and CaO contained in PSA and HCFA reacted with moisture and formed portlandite. The NTRM-mixed mortar requires further examination in terms of durability because of the increased capillary voids and high water absorption rate, but its compressive strength is sufficient to enable its use in sidewalks, bike roads, and parking lots.

Authors: Ren Tao , Zhang Yin , Li Yujia , Chen Yonghua , Liu Qingyou
Published: June 2019

In recent years, interest in in-pipe robot research has been steadily increasing. This phenomenon reflects the necessity and urgency of pipe inspection and rehabilitation as several pipe networks have become outdated around the globe. In-pipe robots can be divided into several groups in accordance with their locomotion principles, each with its own advantages and best suited application scope. Research on the screw drive in-pipe robot (SDIR) has had a rising trend due to the robot’s simple driving mechanism design and numerous advantages. This study compares and analyzes the characteristics of various SDIRs from the aspects of mechanism design, driving principle, and motion and mechanical behaviors. Each SDIR has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on its design requirements and intended applications. A number of prototypes have been fabricated to verify their functionality and efficiency in inspection tasks. This study can provide an up-to-date reference for researchers to conduct further analysis on SDIRs.

Genes, environmental factors, and their interplay affect posttrauma symptoms. Although environmental predictors of the longitudinal course of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are documented, there remains a need to incorporate genetic risk into these models, especially in youth who are underrepresented in genetic studies. In an epidemiologic sample tornado-exposed adolescents (n = 707, 51% female, Mage = 14.54 years), trajectories of PTSD symptoms were examined at baseline and at 4-months and 12-months following baseline. This study aimed to determine if rare genetic variation in genes previously found in the sample to be related to PTSD diagnosis at baseline (MPHOSPH9, LGALS13, SLC2A2), environmental factors (disaster severity, social support), or their interplay were associated with symptom trajectories. A series of mixed effects models were conducted. Symptoms decreased over the three time points. Elevated tornado severity was associated with elevated baseline symptoms. Elevated recreational support was associated with lower baseline symptoms and attenuated improvement over time. Greater LGLAS13 variants attenuated symptom improvement over time. An interaction between MPHOSPH9 variants and tornado severity was associated with elevated baseline symptoms, but not change over time. Findings suggest the importance of rare genetic variation and environmental factors on the longitudinal course of PTSD symptoms following natural disaster trauma exposure.

Published: June 2019

Nanoporous gold (npAu) supports were prepared as disks and powders by corrosion of Au-Ag alloys. The npAu materials have pore sizes in the range of 40 nm as shown by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface was modified by a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with an azidohexylthioate and then functionalized by a zinc (II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) derivative using “click chemistry”. By atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) the content of zinc was determined and the amount of immobilized ZnPc on npAu was calculated. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy gave information about the spatial distribution of the ZnPc throughout the whole porous structure. NpAu and ZnPc are both absorbing light in the visible region, therefore, the heterogeneous hybrid systems were studied as photocatalysts for photooxidations using molecular oxygen. By irradiation of the hybrid system, singlet oxygen is formed, which was quantified using the photooxidation of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as a selective singlet oxygen quencher. The illuminated surface area of the npAu-ZnPc hybrid system and the coverage of the ZnPc were optimized. The synergistic effect between the plasmon resonance of npAu and the photosensitizer ZnPc was shown by selective irradiation and excitation of only the phthalocyanine, the plasmon resonance of the npAu support and both absorption bands simultaneously, resulting in an enhanced photooxidation activity by nearly an order of magnitude.
Therapeutic Potential of Hematopoietic Prostaglandin D2 Synthase in Allergic Inflammation
Authors: Rittchen Sonja , Heinemann Akos
Published: June 2019

Worldwide, there is a rise in the prevalence of allergic diseases, and novel efficient therapeutic approaches are still needed to alleviate disease burden. Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) has emerged as a central inflammatory lipid mediator associated with increased migration, activation and survival of leukocytes in various allergy-associated disorders. In the periphery, the hematopoietic PGD synthase (hPGDS) acts downstream of the arachidonic acid/COX pathway catalysing the isomerisation of PGH2 to PGD2, which makes it an interesting target to treat allergic inflammation. Although much effort has been put into developing efficient hPGDS inhibitors, no compound has made it to the market yet, which indicates that more light needs to be shed on potential PGD2 sources and targets to determine which particular condition and patient will benefit most and thereby improve therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we want to revisit current knowledge about hPGDS function, expression in allergy-associated cell types and their contribution to PGD2 levels as well as beneficial effects of hPGDS inhibition in allergic asthma, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, food allergy, gastrointestinal allergic disorders and anaphylaxis.
PEP Analysis of AF Relay NOMA Systems Employing Order Statistics of Cascaded Channels
Authors: Li Suyue , Wang Anhong , Liang Jie
Published: June 2019

The precise error performance analysis is challenging for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems due to nonlinear successive interference cancellation (SIC) processing among NOMA users. In this paper, the pairwise error probability (PEP) performance of different users is investigated for relay NOMA simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) systems. By employing the order statistics theory, we obtain the ordered probability density function of the cascaded channel through Source-to-Relay-to-User links. Then we derive the analytical closed-form PEP expressions for NOMA users. To obtain the approximate closed-form PEP, we explore the finite series representation of the power of the modified Bessel function to replace the integrand terms. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the approximate analytical PEP of each user is basically in agreement with the simulated PEP. Furthermore, on the basis of the closed-form PEP, the influence of relevant system parameters on the error performance is examined via numerical simulations, which manifests that the choice of power allocation coefficients should be balanced between the users’ channel conditions and the demanded quality of service.
Sustainability Assessment of Green Asphalt Mixtures: A Review
Authors: Pouranian M. Reza , Shishehbor Mehdi
Published: June 2019

During recent decade, the pavement sustainability has received much attention by road agencies, companies, governments and research institutes. The aim of this paper is to introduce and evaluate the sustainability of the technologies developed or underdeveloped to address environmental issues of asphalt mixtures, and the waste materials and by-products that can be recycled and reused in asphalt production. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology, the most popular waste materials to substitute neat binder (crumb rubber modifier (CRM), recycled plastic (RP), vacuum tower bottoms (VTB)) and/or virgin aggregates (reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAs), construction and demolition (C and D) wastes, steel and copper slags), and bio-binders were evaluated with respect to their environmental and economic benefits and engineering performance as the main components of pavement sustainability. The performance evaluation was carried out by examining rutting, moisture susceptibility, thermal and fatigue cracking resistance. Two main environmental impacts, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, and energy consumption were considered to study the environmental effects of these technologies and materials. Additionally, the economic effect was investigated considering initial cost and long-term benefit. Results of investigation illustrated that although each individual technology and waste material is valuable in terms of performance and/or the environment, specific combinations such as WMA + RAP, WMA + CRM, RAP + CRM, and WMA + CRM + RAP lead to further benefits. Notably, these combinations suffer from a lack of comprehensive economic analysis, thus, their sustainability cannot be fully assessed and is prone to future studies.
The Interaction Effect of Type of Message X YouTuber’s Media Metrics on Customers’ Responses and the Moderation of Conformity Intention
Authors: Zuniga Huertas Melby Karina , Coelho Tarcisio Duarte
Published: June 2019

This is a study of the way in which YouTubers’ media metrics influence the effect of their one-sided messages (1SMs) and two-sided messages (2SMs), providing theoretical explanations based on the elaboration likelihood model. Its main objective is the proposition and testing of: (i) the interaction effect between type of message and media metrics of the YouTuber on customers’ responses, and (ii) the moderation of individuals’ conformity intention for the interaction effect between type of message and media metrics on customers’ responses. The results of an experiment showed that high YouTubers’ media metrics have more effect for 1SMs and less effect for 2SMs. Additionally, conformity intention moderates the effect of the interaction type of message X media metrics. A high level of conformity intention neutralizes the interaction effect between YouTubers’ media metrics and message sidedness. This study makes a theoretical contribution to research into online content and information use, providing explanations of how media metrics of a vlog influence the effect of two types of messages.
Landslide Susceptibility Assessment at the Basin Scale for Rainfall- and Earthquake-Triggered Shallow Slides
Authors: Gordo Cristina , Zêzere José Luís , Marques Rui
Published: June 2019

The hydrographic basin of Ribeira Grande (S. Miguel Island, Azores) has a set of characteristics that enhance the occurrence of shallow slides that have been triggered by rainfall and earthquakes. Two landslide inventories were built according to the landslide triggers: Landslide Inventory 2 (LI 2), which includes 174 earthquake-triggered shallow slides occurred in 2005; and Landslide Inventory 1 (LI 1), which includes 442 shallow slides triggered by rainfall in several periods from 2005 to 2016. Both landslide inventories were characterized and compared from the morphometric point of view and were used individually to produce susceptibility models to failure using a simple bivariate state-of-the-art statistical method (the Information Value). The landslide susceptibility Models were validated using success rates, prediction rates, and Kappa statistics. The results show that shallow slides triggered by rainfall and earthquakes in the study area have different morphometric characteristics. It was verified that models produced with LI 1 are very effective in predicting the spatial location of LI 2, but the same does not happen in the inverse situation. Finally, landslide susceptibility models developed with LI 1 and LI 2 for the upper sector of the hydrographic basin (where most landslides occurred), and latter applied to the complete watershed, present more modest predictive results but are more reliable to characterize the landslide susceptibility in the study area.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) are bioaccumulative compounds that may affect fetal growth and infant development. The aim of this study was to determine whether the pregnant women living near a chemical plant in Tianjin had a risk of exposure to dioxins. Concentrations of PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs in 24 umbilical cord serum samples collected from pregnant women were measured using a high-resolution gas chromatograph with a high-resolution mass spectrometer (HRGC-HRMS) and an isotopic dilution method. The levels of ∑(PCDD/Fs + dl-PCBs) were in the range 476–8307 pg·g−1 lipid, with a mean of 3037 pg·g−1. The mean World Health Organization toxicity equivalent (WHO-TEQ) for PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs was 14.0 and 2.14 pg·g−1 lipid, respectively. The PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs contributed 86.7% and 13.3%, respectively, to the total TEQ. The octa-CDFs and penta-CBs were predominant for the PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs, accounting for 57.6% and 74.3%, respectively. Several PCDD/F and dl-PCB congeners were highly correlated, such as PCB 105 and PCB 118 (r = 0.982, p < 0.001). Although the results hint at decreasing trends for PCDD/F and dl-PCBs by comparison with a similar study in Tianjin, a total TEQ of 41.7% of study participants had a body burden that exceeded the biomonitoring equivalents for dioxins. It was shown that pregnant women and infants had a health risk of exposure to dioxins.

When using computer-aided translation systems in a typical, professional translation workflow, there are several stages at which there is room for improvement. The SCATE (Smart Computer-Aided Translation Environment) project investigated several of these aspects, both from a human-computer interaction point of view, as well as from a purely technological side. This paper describes the SCATE research with respect to improved fuzzy matching, parallel treebanks, the integration of translation memories with machine translation, quality estimation, terminology extraction from comparable texts, the use of speech recognition in the translation process, and human computer interaction and interface design for the professional translation environment. For each of these topics, we describe the experiments we performed and the conclusions drawn, providing an overview of the highlights of the entire SCATE project.
Transient Powder Melting in SLM Using an Analytical Model with Phase Change and Spherical Symmetry in a Semi-Infinite Medium
Authors: Fyrillas Marios M. , Papadakis Loucas
Published: June 2019

In this work, we introduce an analytical expression for approximating the transient melting radius during powder melting in Selective Laser Melting (SLM) assumed with a stationary laser heat source. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the suggested analytical approach in determining the melt pool geometry during laser processing, by considering heat transfer and phase change effects. This will allow for the rendering of the first findings on the way to a quasi-real time calculation of the melt pool during laser melting, which will contribute significantly to the process design and control, especially when new powders are applied. Initially, we consider the heat transfer process associated with a point heat source, releasing a continuous and constant power (in a semi-infinite powder bed. On the point of the heat source the temperature is infinite, and the material starts to melt spherically outwards, creating an interface that separates the solid from the molten material; we assume different properties between the two phases. Unlike the cases of the cartesian and cylindrical coordinates, (in a cartesian coordinate the heat source is over a plane, i.e., W/m2, and in cylindrical along a line, i.e., W/m), where the melting process is proportional to the square root of time, in spherical coordinates the melting stops at a finite radius, i.e., a maximum radius, which depends only on the heat source, the conductivity of the solid and the difference between the far-field temperature and the melting temperature of the material. Here we should also point out that to achieve continuous melting in spherical coordinates the power of the source must increase with the square root of the time. The obtained analytical expression for the maximum melting radius and the approximate expression for its dependence on the time compare well with the numerical results obtained by a finite element analysis.
