A large-eddy simulation (LES) model, which adopts wave-averaged equations with vortex force, is used to investigate Langmuir turbulence and ocean boundary layer (OBL) dynamics in high-wind hurricane conditions. The temporally evolving spatially asymmetric wind and wave Stokes drift velocity imposed in the LES are generated by a spectral wave prediction model adapted to Hurricane Frances traveli...

the sorption behavior of loofa-immobilized phanerochaete chrysosporium mycelia in two forms, live (l) and heat-inactivated (hia), was studied for the removal of hg2+ ions from aqueous solution. using the langmuir isotherm, the two key parameters for the sorption performance, qm and the coefficient b, were obtained; the qm values for hg2+ ions were 72.46 mg/g and 92.59 mg/g and the b coefficient...

A self-trapped laser filament is susceptible to decay-producing radially localized Langmuir waves. A nonlinear interaction of the pump wave with the density oscillation at the Langmuir frequency gives rise to three-halves harmonic emissions. Using a basis-function expansion technique, the emitted power in the backward direction is obtained. It decreases with the increasing size of the filament.

We present observational evidence for the generation of Langmuir envelope solirons in the source regions of solar type III radio bursts. The solirons appear to be formed by electron beams which excite either the modulational instability or oscillating two-stream instability (OTSI). Millisecond data from the Ulysses Unified Radio and Plasma Wave Experiment (URAP) show that Langmuir waves associa...

It has recently published that graphene oxide (GO) obtained from graphite by Hummers’ oxidation is composed by nanoplatelets, named as GOP and oxidative debris (OD). OD seems to be composed by highly oxidative aromatic molecules coming from rupture of the sheets and they are adsorbed on the top of the nanoplatelets. The existence of OD modifies the physical and chemical properties of the materi...

adsorption of bovine serum albumin (bsa) onto calcium hydroxyl apatite (ha), ca10po4(oh)2, has been studied by ultra violet (uv) spectroscopy. the adsorption isotherms of bsa onto the ha surface at 291.7 k and 303.2 k were satisfactorily presented by langmuir equation and the evaluated parameters are reported. the specific surface area of ha has been measured by the bet method. the obtained val...

Coarse grained models of monolayers of amphiphiles (Langmuir monolayers) have been studied theoretically and by computer simulations. We discuss some of the insights obtained with this approach, and present new simulation results which show that idealised models can successfully reproduce essential aspects of the generic phase behaviour of Langmuir monolayers.
