Colloidal particles in a liquid medium are transported with constant velocity, and dynamic light scattering experiments are performed on the samples by self-mixing laser Doppler velocimetry. The power spectrum of the modulated wave induced by the motion of the colloidal particles cannot be described by the well-known formula for flowing Brownian motion systems, i.e., a combination of Doppler sh...

where s(z), which characterizes the ‘polydispersity’, is to be estimated. In addition to actual size polydispersity, the distribution s(z) may describe additional processes, such as non-translational motions. At most, the covariance matrix of the noise components, ej1 is approximately known. The kernel, K(1; t), is assumed to be known and typically contains a scattering form factor, a weighting...

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) has become one of the most useful diagnostic tools for crystallization. The main purpose of using DLS in crystal screening is to help the investigator understand the size distribution, stability, and aggregation state of macromolecules in solution. It can also be used to understand how experimental variables influence aggregation. With commercially available instr...

We investigate the evolution of "almost sharp" fronts for the surface quasi-geostrophic equation. This equation was originally introduced in the geophysical context to investigate the formation and evolution of fronts, i.e., discontinuities between masses of hot and cold air. These almost sharp fronts are weak solutions of quasi-geostrophic with large gradient. We relate their evolution to the ...

The first regular homometallic ring containing an odd number of metal centers is reported. The ring was synthesized by means of amine-templated self-assembly. Extensive physical characterization studies, including magnetic measurements, powder inelastic neutron scattering (INS), and DFT calculations, show that the molecule has a near perfect match to the expected behavior for a frustrated syste...

Recently developed closure-based and stochastic model approaches to subgrid-scale modelling of eddy interactions are reviewed. It is shown how statistical dynamical closure models can be used to self-consistently calculate the eddy damping and stochastic backscatter parameters, required in large eddy simulations (LESs), from higher resolution simulations. A closely related direct stochastic mod...

We present a new hardware simulator (HS) for characterization, testing and benchmarking of digital correlators used in various optical correlation spectroscopy experiments where the photon statistics is Gaussian and the corresponding time correlation function can have any arbitrary shape. Starting from the HS developed in [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 74, 4273 (2003)], and using the same I/O board (PCI-6...
