Aerosol reactors pass through regimes where subsets of the population balance terms are dominant. Initially, mixing, reaction, nucleation and accretional growth dominate. This is generally followed by a regime in which coagulation and coalescence control evolution of the particle population into sintered aggregates. Conventionally, the boundary between regimes where coalescence is or is not imp...

A time varying space-time metric is shown to be a source of electromagnetic radiation even in the absence of charge sources. The postNewtonian approximation is used as a realistic model of the connection between the space-time metric and a time varying gravitational potential. Large temporal variations in the metric from the coalescence of relativistic stars are shown to be likely progenitors o...

A time varying space-time metric is shown to be a source of electromagnetic radiation. The post-Newtonian approximation is used as a realistic model of the connection between the space-time metric and a time varying gravitational potential. Large temporal variations in the metric from the coalescence of colliding black holes and neutron stars are shown to be possible progenitors of gamma ray bu...

blown bitumen (110/10) was mixed with heavy vacuum slops (h.v.s), 60/70 penetration grade bitumen and recycled isotactic polypropylene (ipp) at different levels. the resulting resins were used to impregnate non-woven poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers to form composites. the modulus and penetration grade of the resulting bituminous resins were determined. it was found that these bituminous res...

We find that a simple extension of the coalescence model is sufficient to incorporate the perfect quark number scaling behavior of the elliptic flow in transverse kinetic energy, recently discovered by the PHENIX Collaboration. The flavor dependence of the elliptic flow can be consistently described in the low and intermediate pT if the transverse kinetic energy is conserved in the 2 → 1 or 3 →...

Coalescence of binary supermassive black holes (SBHs) would constitute the strongest sources of gravitational waves to be observed by LISA. While the formation of binary SBHs during galaxy mergers is almost inevitable, coalescence requires that the separation between binary components first drop by a few orders of magnitude, due presumably to interactions of the binary with stars and gas in a g...

This paper presents a literature review on the current understanding of liquid-liquid separation that is immensely widespread in practice, highlighting the steady-state bed coalescer being a good solution in various engineering application. Generally, the fibre bed coalescence has proven to be very effective separation method in the industry. Due to the complexity of bed coalescence phenomenon ...

Samples of multiple complete genome sequences contain vast amounts of information about the evolutionary history of populations, much of it in the associations among polymorphisms at different loci. We introduce a method, Minimal-Assumption Genomic Inference of Coalescence (MAGIC), that reconstructs key features of the evolutionary history, including the distribution of coalescence times, by in...
