Reviews of studies to predict invasiveness have been carried out by Kolar and Lodge (2001) and updated by Hayes and Barry (2008). A significant body of literature has built up across a range of taxa looking at correlates of invasion success. Several points can be made from this literature. First, while invasiveness cannot be predicted with certainty, statistical approaches can produce models th...

Various physical processes that ensue within protoplanetary disks - including vertical settling of icy and rocky grains, radial drift solids, planetesimal formation, as well planetary accretion itself are facilitated by hydrodynamic interactions between H/He gas high-Z dust. The Stokes number, which quantifies the strength dust-gas coupling, thus plays a central role in disk evolution its poor ...
