TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a method to predict the distribution of residence-times in large systems by using distribution-functions for residencetimes, which can be used to calculate the etficiencies of reactors and blenders.

Predictive Modeling and Integrative Physiology: The Physiome Projects.

TL;DR: The goal of the human Physiome project is improved health care, through deep understanding of the organism, all the way down to the genes, reconciling contradictions and clarifying cause and effect.

Predicting thermal drawdown in geothermal systems using interwell tracer tests

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical algorithm for interpreting tracer tests conducted within hydrological systems was developed using a fully implicit, upstream weighted finite volume scheme, which is capable of handling general boundary conditions, which can include effects of recirculation, and linear tracer reactions.

The Role of Attached and Free-Living Bacteria in Biodegradation in Karst Aquifers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of free-living karst bacteria in the process of toluene biodegradation and found that free living bacteria contributed as much to the process as attached bacteria.

On the length effect of the heat dispersion parameters

TL;DR: Li and Finlayson as mentioned in this paper found that the dispersion of heat in fixed beds passed by a flowing gas is dependent on the length of the bed and the geometry of the experiment.

Hydrodynamics and Flow Regimes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and review available knowledge on hydrodynamics, flow regimes, and transport parameters in the trickle bed, and discuss correlations for estimating key hydrodynamic parameters such as pressure drop, liquid holdup, mass and heat transfer coefficients, and axial dispersions.

The Definition and Measurement of Some Characteristics of Mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the important features of such mixtures can be expressed by two statistically defined quantities, the scale and the intensity of segregation, and methods of measuring these are suggested.
