A mathematical analysis of affinity membrane bioseparations

TL;DR: A key prediction from the analysis is that the flow velocity through affinity membranes may be limited not by pressure drop, but rather by association kinetics between soluble protein and immobilized ligand.

Flow Phenomena in Chemical Vapor Deposition of Thin Films

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the deposition of thin inorganic films from precursors in the gas phase onto a solid substrate, which is a key element in a wide range of technological applications, including the fabrication of microelectronic circuits, optical and magnetic recording media, optical devices, and high performance culling and grinding tools.

Simulation of groundwater age distributions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine how to simulate the age of groundwater in such a way that it can be compared to actual measurements and derive transient equations for the mean age, as well as for the higher-order moments of its distribution.

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.
