A semi-batch crystallization system is used to determine growth kinetics and morphology of barium carbonate crystals, under a constant pH value and constant temperature in the various relative supersaturations. Results show that crystal growth rate satisfies a first-order kinetic expression at high relative supersaturation, while at relative supersaturation values lower than 3,  the k...

In this study, the adhesion of bacteria to fresh cucumber surfaces in aqueous suspension was shown to be dependent on time of incubation, inoculum species and concentration, and temperature. The adhesion of bacteria to the fruit in wash water was less extensive at lower temperatures and shorter exposure times. Various species of bacteria were adsorbed to cucumber surfaces in the following relat...

Let M be a self-adjoint operator acting on a Hilbert space H. A complex number z is in the second order spectrum of M relative to a finite dimensional subspace L ⊂ DomM, iff the truncation to L of (M − z) is not invertible. This definition was first introduced in [4] and according to the results of [7] and [13], these set provide a method for estimating eigenvalues free from the problems of spe...

a new definition of boundedness of linear order-homomorphisms (loh)in $l$-topological vector spaces is proposed. the new definition iscompared with the previous one given by fang [the continuity offuzzy linear order-homomorphism, j. fuzzy math. 5 (4) (1997)829$-$838]. in addition, the relationship between boundedness andcontinuity of lohs is discussed. finally, a new uniform boundednessprincipl...

2014 We have observed the surface instability of the interface between a highly concentrated ferrofluid and a weakly concentrated one. Our experimental data clearly show the first order character of the transition between a flat interface and the observed regular pattern of peaks. A large hysteresis effect is observed because of the high value of the relative permeability (03BC ~ 40) of our con...
