Understanding the aging process of aerosol particles is important for assessing their chemical reactivity, cloud condensation nuclei activity, radiative properties and health impacts. In this study we investigate the aging of black carbon containing particles in an idealized urban plume using a new approach, the particleresolved aerosol model PartMC-MOSAIC. We present a method to estimate aging...

The problem of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) originally arose from the robotics community and is closely related to the problems of camera motion estimation and structure recovery in computer vision. Recent work in the vision community addressed the SLAM problem using either active stereo or a single passive camera. The precision of camera based SLAM was tested in indoor static e...

Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate the onset of surface condensation. On surfaces with different wettability, we snapshot different condensation modes (no-condensation, dropwise condensation and filmwise condensation) and quantitatively analyze their characteristics by temporal profiles of surface clusters. Two different types of formation of nanoscale droplets ...

The mixing state of soot particles in the atmosphere is of crucial importance for assessing their climatic impact, since it governs their chemical reactivity, cloud condensation nuclei activity and radiative properties. To improve the mixing state representation in models, we present a new approach, the stochastic particle-resolved model PartMC-MOSAIC, which explicitly resolves the composition ...

introduction : the aim of this study was to examine and compare the apical sealing ability of ah26, ah plus and ah plus jet using a fluid filtration model. materials and methods : 70 single-rooted teeth were dissected from the cement-enamel junction. canals were prepared with protaper rotary system and manual k files and irrigated with 5.25% naocl and 17% edta. ten teeth were assigned as contro...

objective: the aim of this study is to measure the effect of different condensation pressure on the microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta).  methods: this study was an invitro study. a total of 55 single rooted straight-canal human extracted sound teeth free of cracks or calcification were selected. teeth were sectioned from cej region at 3 mm above the root apex. remaining specimens ...

The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method was used to study the evaporation / condensation of iodine evaporating between parallel circular plates. The numerical 1D and 2D solutions are compared to the experimental result obtained by Mager et al.

An intermolecular condensation reaction of 1,3,5-triarylenynols catalyzed by copper is developed. This reaction is a straightforward method for the synthesis of highly conjugated 1H-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene. Fluorescent properties have been determined for some of the products.

A new method for the stepwise synthesis of propylamines containing fragments of N-methyl propylamine as found in diatom bioextracts is presented and their activity in silicic acid condensation is described.
