10 Aerosol nucleation is an important source of particle number in the atmosphere. However, in 11 order to become cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), freshly nucleated particles must undergo 12 significant condensational growth while avoiding coagulational scavenging. In an effort to 13 quantify the contribution of nucleation to CCN, this work uses the GEOS-Chem-TOMAS 14 global aerosol model to ca...

This paper presents an updated and systematic overview of the recent developments in studies on nucleation processes in diamond CVD. The nucleation mechanisms are discussed, and the nucleation enhancement methods developed to date are summarized. The effects of surface conditions and deposition parameters on the surface nucleation are described. Finally, a brief description of theoretical and m...

[1] Formation and evolution of cirrostratus in response to weak, uniform, and constant synoptic forcing is simulated using a one-dimensional numerical model with explicit microphysics, in which the particle size distribution in each grid box is fully resolved. A series of tests of the model response to nucleation modes (homogeneous-freezingonly/heterogeneous nucleation) and heterogeneous nuclea...

The primary pathogenic event of sickle cell anemia is the polymerization of the mutant hemoglobin (Hb) S within the red blood cells, occurring when HbS is in deoxy state in the venous circulation. Polymerization is known to start with nucleation of individual polymer fibers, followed by growth and branching via secondary nucleation, yet the mechanisms of nucleation of the primary fibers have ne...

The nucleation and growth of sol-gel derived TiO2 colloidal nanoparticles have been studied using  experiment and theory as well. In this study, the temperature effect on the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles was discussed and some effective parameters such as the supply rate of solute (Q0), the mean volumic growth rate of stable nuclei during the nucleat...

This article reviews recent ­ ndings on internal and surface nucleation in silicate glasses. The internal homogeneous nucleation rates sharply decrease and the induction times increase with the Tg=TL ratio (Tg is the glass-transition temperature and TL is the liquidus temperature). Only systems that have Tg=TL < 0:58 display measurable internal nucleation rates on a laboratory time-scale. Numer...

Physical and biochemical aspects of protein crystal nucleation can be distinguished in an appropriately designed experimental setting. From a physical perspective, the diminishing number of nucleation-active particles (and/or centers), and the appearance of nucleation exclusion zones, are two factors that act simultaneously and retard the initially fast heterogeneous nucleation, thus leading to...

the idea of this paper is designing an automatic fault detection system based on fuzzy logic, therefore two signals of pmsm in fault condition are analyzed for inter turn fault detection: current and torque. in this fault type there is some distortion in these signals, but it is not good enough to detecting with fuzzy logic solely, so with combination of wavelet transform and fcm a new method f...

Systems with long-range interactions when quenched into a metastable state near the pseudospinodal exhibit nucleation processes that differ from classical nucleation seen near the coexistence curve. In systems with long-range elastic forces the description of the nucleation process can be quite subtle due to the presence of bulk and surface elastic compatibility constraints. We analyze the nucl...

The kinetics of nucleation of one-component gas hydrates in aqueous solutions are analyzed. The size of the hydrate nucleus and the work for nucleus formation are determined as functions of the supersaturation Dm: Expressions for the stationary rate J of hydrate nucleation are derived. These expressions describe the JðDmÞ dependence for homogeneous nucleation and for heterogeneous nucleation at...
