It is possible to produce a transient supersaturation or undersaturation in tissues and blood by sequentially breathing gases with different equilibration rates. If the ambient gas pressure is sufficiently high, the induced supersaturation can produce vascular bubbles. By means of the classical perfusion-dependent model of inert gas elimination, which assumes that the effects of diffusion are m...

Let F be a collection of r-uniform hypergraphs, and let 0 < p < 1. It is known that there exists c = c(p,F) such that the probability of a random r-graph in G(n, p) not containing an induced subgraph from F is 2(−c+o(1))( n r). Let each r-graph in F have at least t vertices. We show that in fact for every > 0, there exists δ = δ( , p,F) > 0 such that the probability of a random r-graph in G(n, ...

Small changes make a big difference: we demonstrate how slight changes in the supersaturation have a huge impact on the formed crystal morphology and present a convenient method to monitor the level of local supersaturation on a flat substrate. Further we provide a non-additive based explanation for natural biomineralization processes.

[1] A cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) closure experiment is carried out using data from the Chebogue Point, Nova Scotia, ground site during the International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation (ICARTT) field experiment in 2004. The number concentration of CCN at five supersaturations ( 0.07% to 0.5%) is predicted from measurements of aerosol size distribution, ...

Abstract. In this paper, the effects of ice-supersaturated regions and thin, subvisual cirrus clouds on lapse rates are examined. For that, probability distribution density functions rate potential temperature gradients from 10 years measurement data MOZAIC/IAGOS project ERA5 reanalysis were produced, an analysis example case region with a large vertical extent is performed. study functions, di...

A spontaneous and controllable removal of condensed microdroplets at high supersaturation via self-propelled jumping is achieved by introducing a designed micropore array on a nanostructured superhydrophobic surface. The fabricated surface was demonstrated to delay the ice formation for 1 hour at -15 °C with a supersaturation of 6.97.

We prove a “supersaturation-type” extension of both Sperner’s Theorem (1928) and its generalization by Erdős (1945) to k-chains. Our result implies that a largest family whose size is x more than the size of a largest k-chain free family and that contains the minimum number of k-chains is the family formed by taking themiddle (k−1) rows of the Boolean lattice and x elements from the kthmiddle r...

Measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), aerosol size distribution and non-refractory chemical composition were performed from 16 to 31 October 2012 in the São Paulo Metropolitan Area (SPMA), Brazil. CCN measurements were performed at 0.23, 0.45, 0.68, 0.90 and 1.13 % water supersaturation and were subsequently compared with the Köhler theory, considering the chemical composition. Real-...
