β¦ Synopsis
We present a new approach to the analysis of the decay of voltage V with time c after a current pulse has been applied to an electrochemical system. We show that a plot of -td V/dt is an approximation to the spectrum of relaxation times that characterize the decay of Vas a combination ofexponential decays, and show how well such a plot can resolve different time constants. We then apply this method to a Li/(LiAsF,-propylene carbonate)/Li system and show that not only can we measure the diffusion constant for the salt in the electrolyte, but also obtain information about polypropylene films used as separators between the electrodes. Using this technique we also show the onset of convection in the electrolyte in cells without separators

This article presents a new explanation of the physical mechanisms underlying the basic creep and relaxation of concrete. It is proposed that these two macroscopic mechanical behaviours are related to drying shdnkage, just like drying creep.
## It is shown that a non-phenomenological treatment of the transient regime under high intensity irradiations is allowed by using a "reduced" molecular system. Such an approach is developed without disregarding the interaction between the molecule and its physical environment which gives rise to
