Can cross-slip, twinning and fracture systems, under applied loadings, receive the same mathematical theory?

Cross-slip, twinning and fracture are major deformation modes adopted by loaded materials. It appears sound that these apparently different deformation mechanisms can be analysed on the equal manner!

Is it possible to use Nicrosil-Nisil thermocouples (Type N/NN) in vacuum&plasma?

I am searching for an alternative to chromel-alumel thermocouples for our stand. The point is to find something better to use in Ar-O2 plasma (approx. 400 °C, 1.0*10^(-3) Torr). The only relevant...

May also use mini- DASH score for convenience. However most research use Flynn's criteria to categorise as outcome measure.
