. Power of Experiment Diffusion: Macroscale Dwarf and Nanoscale Giant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diffusion processes of particles or energy exhibit a characteristic scaling behavior with space and time. In this contribution, the background of this scaling behavior will be shortly described and its consequences in physics, chemistry, biology and various areas of technology shall be explored. Furthermore, some demonstration experiments for different aspects of diffusion and its scaling behavior will be discussed in the course of the article.

متن کاملPulsating red giant and supergiant stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Andromeda I
We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...
متن کاملSimplified Process for Manufacturing Macroscale Patterns to Enhance Voltage Generation by a Triboelectric Generator
This paper proposes a simple, yet effective and affordable, manufacturing process to enhance the overall efficiency of voltage generation by a triboelectric generator (TEG) using 3D printers for energy-harvesting applications. The proposed method can be classified as macroscale surface patterning, in contrast to microand nanoscale patterning of TEG proposed in previous studies. Experiments were...
متن کاملGalactic Mergers with Supermassive Black Holes
We present the results of N -body simulations of the accretion of high-density dwarf galaxies by low-density giant galaxies. Both galaxies contain power-law central density cusps and point masses representing supermassive black holes; the ratio of galaxy masses is 3 : 1. The cusp of the dwarf galaxy is always disrupted during the merger, leading to a remnant with a weak power law in the intrins...
متن کاملGlobular Clusters in Dwarf Galaxies
Data are presently available on the luminosities and half-light radii of 101 globular clusters associated with lowluminosity parent galaxies. The luminosity distribution of globulars embedded in dwarf galaxies havingMv > −16 is found to differ dramatically from that for globular clusters surrounding giant host galaxies with Mv < −16. The luminosity distribution of globular clusters in giant gal...
