We computed the phase-separation behavior and effective interactions of colloid-polymer mixtures in the "protein limit," where the polymer radius of gyration is much larger than the colloid radius. For ideal polymers, the critical colloidal packing fraction tends to zero, whereas for interacting polymers in a good solvent the behavior is governed by a universal binodal, implying a constant crit...

The study employed the finite element method to develop a validated theoretical model to investigate the distribution of thermal hoop stress around the teeth of a spur gear operating in a filler machine. Three cases of temperature distribution along the radius of a gear tooth were assumed and investigated. The outcome showed that the maximum effective stress occurs at the tip of the gear tooth ...

The present investigation deals with the impact of different aeorosol types on the value of the effective radius of stratiform clouds. In several numerical sensitivity studies with the microphysical stratus model MISTRA, the aerosol composition was linearly changed from pure maritime to pure rural aerosol particles. Numerical results show that in environments with pure maritime aerosols, the ef...
