In the current work, heat flux in nucleate pool boiling has been predicted using macrolayer and latent evaporation model. The wall superheat (ΔT) thickness (δ) are parameters considered for predicting flux. influence of operating on instantaneous conduction average across investigated. A comparison findings model with Bhat’s decreasing revealed a close agreement under condition at high It is su...

B urkart et al. describe how a secreted protease helps egg cells avoid being fertilized by more than one sperm. Because polyspermy disrupts em-bryonic development, oocytes take several steps to ensure they only fuse with a single sperm. One key step is to prevent additional sperm from binding to the surface of an already-fertilized egg, a blockade that involves the release of secretory granules...

We analyze the freezing transition in a system of hard particles with a very long-ranged repulsion. The long-range repulsion makes first-order freezing transitions continuous, but leaves the initial stages of the crystallization unchanged: the crystal phase must still nucleate. The coexistence between bulk phases is replaced by microphase separation.

Critical superflow, preceding a free ringing superfluid oscillation, induces a remnant stochastic uncertainty in the oscillation amplitude. We demonstrate that the distribution function for the oscillation’s velocity amplitude reflects both the quantized size of the underlying phase-slip dissipation events, as well as the stochastic nature of the processes which nucleate the slips @S0163-1829~9...

Actin filament polymerization results primarily from the addition of monomers to pre-existing filaments. Recent studies have revealed that the Arp2/3 protein complex, which includes two actin-related proteins, can nucleate new actin filaments, and this capacity can be enhanced by ActA, a protein used by Listeria to polymerize actin.

Data are presented for burnout in forced coivection nucleate boiling of water at pressures above 500 psia. A dimensionless correlation is devised for. the M.I.T. data which is found to be valid for certain recent data reported by Argonne National Laboratory.
