TLDR
Low Reynolds number flow theory finds wide application in such diverse fields as sedimentation, fluidization, particle-size classification, dust and mist collection, filtration, centrifugation, polymer and suspension rheology, and a host of other disciplines.Abstract:
Low Reynolds number flow theory finds wide application in such diverse fields as sedimentation, fluidization, particle-size classification, dust and mist collection, filtration, centrifugation, polymer and suspension rheology, flow through porous media, colloid science, aerosol and hydrosal technology, lubrication theory, blood flow, Brownian motion, geophysics, meteorology, and a host of other disciplines. This text provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the physical and mathematical principles underlying such phenomena, heretofore available only in the original literature.read more

Direct observation of the reversible unwinding of a single DNA molecule caused by the intercalation of ethidium bromide
Masahito Hayashi,Yoshie Harada +1 more
TL;DR: A simple method to observe the twisting motions of a single dsDNA molecule under an optical microscope and showed that negative cooperativity existed between adjoining EtBr molecules.

Cake Structure in Dead-End Membrane Filtration: Monte Carlo Simulations
Albert S. Kim,Eric M.V. Hoek +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a statistical mechanical approach for predicting the long-term gradual flux decline due to colloid-cake formation in dead-end membrane filtration is presented, based on Monte Carlo simulations of cake layer.

Why is the mechanical efficiency of F(1)-ATPase so high?
George Oster,Hongyun Wang +1 more
TL;DR: The experimentally measured mechanical efficiency of the F1-ATPase under viscous loading is nearly 100%, far higher than any other hydrolysis-driven molecular motor.
Journal ArticleDOI
EPS biofouling in membrane filtration: an analytic modeling study.
TL;DR: It is found that the physical presence of EPS and their reaction with solute ions reduce the mass transfer coefficient, which significantly contributes to permeate flux decline in reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membrane processes.

Molecule capture by olfactory antennules: mantis shrimp.
TL;DR: A model to calculate molecule flux to the surfaces of aesthetascs is developed in order to study how the size, aesthetic spacing, and flick kinematics of olfactory antennules affect their performance in capturing molecules from the surrounding water.
