The counterdiffusion of gases across a composite layer can lead to supersaturation and development of bubbles within the layer. A physicochemical model has been derived to predict the extent of such supersaturation; experiments with inert liquid layers confirm predictions. These findings explain the evolution of cutaneous lesions observed in man during simulated deep-sea dives and the cutaneous...

Supersaturation etching starts with Cl insertion into Si-Si bonds of Si 100 and leads to the desorption of SiCl2 pairs. During etching, insertion occurs through a Cl2 dissociative chemisorption process mediated by single dangling bond sites created by phonon-activated electron-stimulated desorption of atomic Cl. Based on scanning tunneling microscopy results, we identify a surface species, desc...

24 We have addressed the need for improved measurements of cloud condensation nuclei 25 (CCN) by developing a continuous-flow instrument that provides in situ measurements of CCN. 26 The design presented in this paper can operate between 0.1% and 3% supersaturation, at 27 sampling rates sufficient for airborne operation. The design constitutes a cylindrical continuous28 flow thermal-gradient di...

The Turán function ex(n, F ) of a graph F is the maximum number of edges in an F -free graph with n vertices. The classical results of Turán and Rademacher from 1941 led to the study of supersaturated graphs where the key question is to determine hF (n, q), the minimum number of copies of F that a graph with n vertices and ex(n, F ) + q edges can have. We determine hF (n, q) asymptotically when...

Abstract Water vapor supersaturation in the atmosphere is produced a variety of ways, including lifting parcel or via isobaric mixing parcels. However, irrespective mechanism production, water has typically been modeled as Gaussian distribution. In current theoretical and numerical study, nature by processes explored. The results from large eddy simulation model reveal distribution supersaturat...
