Abstract Precipitation often happens along organized filaments or bands of moisture such as convergence zones. Recent regional studies have shown that these arise from synoptic-scale mixing features known attracting Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs). In this study, we present a climatology and investigate its covariability with precipitation on temporal scales ranging weekly to interannual....

Nanohydrodynamics simulations, hydrodynamics on the nanometer and nanosecond scale by molecular dynamics simulations for up to 100 million particles, are performed on the latest generation of supercomputers. Such simulations exhibit Rayleigh-Taylor instability, the mixing of a heavy fluid on top of a light in the presence of a gravitational field, initiated by thermal fluctuations at the interf...

Simulations not seen before compare turbulent mixing rates for ideal fluids and for real immiscible fluids with experimental values for the surface tension. The simulated real fluid mixing rates lie near the center of the range of experimental values. A comparison to theoretical predictions relating the mixing rate, the bubble width, and the bubble height fluctuations based on bubble merger mod...

Following recent results from the SNO solar neutrino experiment and the K2K long-baseline neutrino experiment, the combined existing data on neutrino oscillations now point strongly to a specific form for the lepton mixing matrix, with effective bimaximal mixing of νμ and ντ at the atmospheric scale and effective trimaximal mixing for νe with νμ and ντ at the solar scale (hence ‘tri-bimaximal’ ...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of canola oil and diet mixing time length on performance, carcass traits and blood lipids in broilers. in this experiment 288 ross-308 broilers were used from 11 up to 42 days as factorial arrangement (3×2) included three levels of canola oil (0, 3 and 6%) and two mixing time length (10 and 15 minute) in 6 treatments, ...

in many signal processing applications, an appropriate measure to comparetwo signals plays a fundamental role in both implementing the algorithm andevaluating its performance. several techniques have been introduced in literature assimilarity measures. however, the existing measures are often either impractical forsome applications or they have unsatisfactory results in some other applications....

glipizide has been found to form inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-cd) in solution and in solid state. the present study was undertaken to determine a suitable method for scaling up glipizide-β-cd inclusion complex formation and to evaluate the effect of some parameters on the efficiency of complexation. the solid inclusion complexes of glipizide and β-cd were prepared at a molar ratio...
