We consider the diffusive properties of Brownian motion in a biased periodic potential. We relate the effective diffusion coefficient to the solution of two coupled time-independent partial differential equations and solve these equations numerically by the matrix-continued-fraction (MCF) method for intermediate values of the temperature and friction coefficient. The weak-noise limit is explore...

Diffusion in a spatially rough one-dimensional potential is treated by analysis of the mean first passage time. A general expression is found for the effective diffusion coefficient, which can become very small at low temperatures.

drying behavior of two types of pomegranates as well as the effect of drying conditions on moisture loss trend and on effective diffusion coefficient of arils are discussed in this article. also, an appropriate mathematical drying model as well as the activation energy of sweet and sour pomegranate arils, dried in vacuum and microwave driers are pursued and presented. results of regression anal...

The interaction of charged particles, moving in a uniform magnetic field, with a plane polarized gravitational wave is considered using the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov (FPK) approach. By using a stochas-ticity criterion, we determine the exact locations in phase space, where resonance overlapping occurs. We investigate the diffusion of orbits around each primary resonance of order m by deriving ge...

The steady-state transport of oxygen through hemoglobin solutions was studied to identify the mechanism of the diffusion augmentation observed at low oxygen tensions. A novel technique employing a platinum-silver oxygen electrode was developed to measure the effective diffusion coefficient of oxygen in steady-state transport. The measurements were made over a wider range of hemoglobin and oxyge...

This paper summarises the results of radon diffusion coefficient measurements in 360 common waterproof materials available throughout Europe. The materials were grouped into 26 categories according to their chemical composition. It was found that the diffusion coefficients of materials used for protecting houses against radon vary within eight orders from 10(-15) to 10(-8) m(2) s(-1). The lowes...
