An existing numerical model of cumulus growth, treating condensation but not precipitation, is modified by the incorporation of a parameterized treatment of liquid phase microphysics. This modification improves the realism of the results in several important respects; among them are maximum height of cloud growth, maximum liquid content, amount and distribution of temperature departure, cloud s...

Here we describe the observations and the resulting constraints on the upper atmosphere (thermosphere and exosphere) of the ”Hot-Jupiters”. In particular, observations and theoretical modeling of Hot-Jupiter evaporation are described. The observations allowed the discovery that the planet orbiting HD209458 has an extended atmosphere of escaping hydrogen and showed the presence of oxygen and car...

The nutrition of patients with extensive burns usually requires daily intakes of fats, proteins and carbohydrates with a total calorific value in excess of 4000 kcal together with supranormal amounts of water and various ions, mainly sodium. These calorie requirements by a patient confined to bed are approximately those required by a normal adult male performing hard manual work. Recognition of...

Cosmological evolution of equilibrium plasma with a condensate of U(1)-charged bosonic field is considered. It is shown that the evaporation of the condensate is very much different from naive expectations, discussed in the literature, as well as from evaporation of non-equilibrium neutral condensate. The charged condensate evaporates much slower than the decay of the corresponding bosons. The ...

Stainless steels in atmospheres containing H2O form a Cr2O3 scale in the early stage of oxidation. However, the Cr2O3 scale gradually degrades with time. In order to determine the effect of H2O on the deterioration of a Cr2O3 scale, evaporation behavior of Cr2O3 in N2-O2-H2O atmospheres was investigated. The rate of mass loss in a N2-O2-H2O atmosphere was found to be one order of magnitude high...
