If and when sustained human-to-human transmission of H5N1 becomes a reality, the world will no longer be dealing with sporadic avian flu borne along migratory flight paths of birds, but aviation flu - winged at subsonic speed along commercial air conduits to every corner of planet Earth. Given that air transportation is the one feature that most differentiates present day transmission scenarios...

Surface polarization in ion-containing heterogeneous dielectric media such as cell media and emulsions is determined by and determines the positions of the ions. We compute the surface polarization self-consistently as the ions move and analyze their effects on the interactions between electro-neutral, ion-containing droplets using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations based on the true...

Hitherto the method of laser diffraction has been used only for determining particle size distribution (PSD) of mixtures. This paper presents an extension of that measurement approach to include the determination of the number of particles. The described method may find practical application in a variety of disciplines, including biology (e.g. for determination of population sizes of microand m...
