In recent times sedimentation data have become increasingly relevant in modeling sedimentation operations such as filtration, fluidization, two-phase flow operations and in environmental engineering. In this study, the effects of reactants concentrations and size of settling vesselson the sedimentation rates of strontium and barium carbonates, in aqueous medium, were studied by a modified appro...

We study the sedimentation process of a binary colloidal soft sphere system where significant overlaps of the particles are possible. We employ estimates of the equation of states in the small and large pressure limit in order to predict the final states of the sedimentation process. Furthermore, Brownian dynamics simulations were performed in order to confirm the predictions and to explore the...

A method is described for the isolation of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from sheep liver. The product appears to be homogeneous in polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and in sedimentation-velocity and sedimentation-equilibrium studies in the ultracentrifuge. The molecular weight is estimated as 129000 from equilibrium sedimentation.

Cell suspensions of the transplantable Furth murine mast cell tumor were separated both by velocity sedimentation in an isokinetic gradient and by isopyknic sedimentation. Prior to separation, the suspension of tumor cells contained 60.3+/-13.1% (S.D.) malignant mast cells, 9.8+/-10.4% lymphocytes, 4.3+/-2.1% granulocytes, 1.7+/-1.9% macrophages, 0.6+/-0.4% unidentified cells, and 22.8+/-8.5% r...

Sedimentation velocity analytical ultracentrifugation is an important tool in the characterization of macromolecules and nanoparticles in solution. The sedimentation coefficient distribution c(s) of Lamm equation solutions is based on the approximation of a single, weight-average frictional coefficient of all particles, determined from the experimental data, which scales the diffusion coefficie...

[1] The effect of cloud droplet sedimentation on the entrainment rate and liquid water path of a nocturnal nondrizzling stratocumulus layer is examined using largeeddy simulations (LES) with bulk microphysics. In agreement with a prior study by Ackerman et al. (2004), sedimentation is found to decrease entrainment rate and thereby increase liquid water path. They suggested this is due to reduct...
