In summer at night in the Bering Sea hydromedusae and scyphomedusae formed dense aggregations at the surface in convergences apparently produced by Langmuir circulation cells. During strong winds distance between parallel rows regularly exceeded 100 m; densities of medusae within rows reached 1,000 m-3. Physical and behavioral factors can increase spatial aggregation and thereby alter the rate ...

in this paper, the adsorption of cerium on modified mesoporous aluminosilicate (with si/al mole ratio of 10) was studied. the effects of ph, contact time, initial concentration of cerium on adsorption of cerium were investigated. the adsorption capacity was high in the ph range of 4-8 and decreases with decreasing of the ph value. the langmuir and freundlich isotherms were applied to represent ...

Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) is used as a noninvasive probe of two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectricity in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of copolymer vinylidene fluoride with trifluorethylene. The surface 2D ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition in the topmost layer of LB films and a thickness independent (almost 2D) transition in the bulk of these films are observed in temperatur...

a chelating resin is prepared by condensation polymerization of aniline with formaldehyde andcharacterized by ft-ir, elemental analysis and studied for the preconcentration and determination of traceplatinum ion from environmental water sample using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy(icp-aes). the optimum ph value for sorption of the metal ions was 5. the maximum adsorption...

It is shown that partial incoherence, in the form of stochastic phase noise, of a Langmuir wave in an unmagnetized plasma gives rise to a Landau-type damping. Starting from the Zakharov equations, which describe the nonlinear interaction between Langmuir and ion-acoustic waves, a kinetic equation is derived for the plasmons by introducing the Wigner-Moyal transform of the complex Langmuir wave ...
