Hydrophilic graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets can be easily coated onto stainless steel meshes. Compared to neat meshes, GO coated meshes become more hydrophilic in air and superoleophobic under water. Taking advantage of this completely opposite wettability, GO coated meshes were used for gravity-driven oil-water separation.

The earth's environmental problems, especially for water remediation, need effective methods to solve. Materials with special wettability are developed for the separation of oil/water mixtures. However, the separation of emulsified oil/water mixtures can be a real challenge. There is still much deficiencies, on account of the surfactant, which could link water molecules and oil molecules to for...

The separation of lymphocytes from the other blood cells is based on the differences in their specific gravity. Centrifugation of whole blood against an isopaque-ficoll gradient results in the formation of three separate layers: the top one contains the slowly sedimenting cells (lymphocytes, platelets and some monocytes); the inter­ mediate one, the granulocytes; the bottom layer contains the e...

Particles accumulated in a coupled acoustic-gravity field, in which the base-material of a particle determines the equilibrium aggregation positions, are eluted from a separation channel by an orthogonal laminar flow. Elution times are controllable by changing the intensity and frequency of the ultrasonic waves.

A new class of integrable two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories, in which scalar matter fields satisfy the Toda equations, is proposed. The simplest case of the Toda system is considered in some detail, and on this example we outline how the general solution can be obtained. We also demonstrate how the wave-like solutions of the general Toda systems can be simply derived. In the dilaton grav...

geophysical data are always affected by different sources of anomaly. these sources are classified in to three groups: first group is relatively deep sources commonly called as regional effects, second group is near surface sources or local effects and third group is high frequency noises. the only common way to separate the anomaly is separation with respect to the signal frequency. there are ...

I describe the treatment of gravity as a quantum effective field theory. This allows a natural separation of the (known) low energy quantum effects from the (unknown) high energy contributions. Within this framework, gravity is a well behaved quantum field theory at ordinary energies. In studying the class of quantum corrections at low energy, the dominant effects at large distance can be isola...

This research entails the extent of up-gradation of Dandot coal, using conventional gravity based sink-float separation techniques, to make it technoeconomically acceptable for the cement industry as a partial substitution of imported coal. In this research, various sizes of run-of-mine coal samples were subjected to specific gravity based sink-float test and resultant fractions were analyzed. ...

We consider the N-body problem in (1 + 1) dimensional lineal gravity. For 2 point masses (N = 2) we obtain an exact solution for the relativistic motion. In the equal mass case we obtain an explicit expression for their proper separation as a function of their mutual proper time. Our solution gives the exact Hamiltonian to infinite order in the gravitational coupling constant.
