Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2020 The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress from the biofilm to resume a planktonic lifestyle. As the planktonic state is considered to be more vulnerable to antimicrobial agents and immune responses ...

Dispersion measures and dispersive orderings [PDF]
Statistics & Probability Letters, 2003 In this paper, the comparison of random variables according to the functionals of a general class of dispersion measures is characterized in terms of the dilation order. The Gini's mean difference is a particular member of this general class. In addition, a new and weaker order, called the second-order absolute Lorenz ordering, is introduced, and we ...

Microorganisms, 2021 This study evaluated the effects of three commercial dispersants (Finasol OSR 52, Slickgone NS, Superdispersant 25) and three biosurfactants (rhamnolipid, trehalolipid, sophorolipid) in crude-oil seawater microcosms.

Asphaltene Precipitation and the Influence of Dispersants and Inhibitors on Morphology Probed by AFM
Colloids and Interfaces, 2023 Bridging the gap between laboratory-scale experiments and actual oilfield operations is a complex task that requires a compromise between real (authentic) fluids and model systems.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003 We model firm pricing given consumers follow simple reservation price rules. Such reservation rules are rational when consumers are sufficiently impatient. The equilibrium exhibits price dispersion in pure strategies, with lower price firms earning higher profits.

Emulsion stability and antimicrobial activity of Ionic liquid-based formulation [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Chemical dispersants is one of the globally accepted remediation technique used for marine oil spill. However, the toxicity related with these dispersants confined its application in marine environment. Therefore, to overcome this problem, the employment

Dispersive Estimates for Full Dispersion KP Equations [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics, 2021 AbstractWe prove several dispersive estimates for the linear part of the Full Dispersion Kadomtsev–Petviashvili introduced by David Lannes to overcome some shortcomings of the classical Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations. The proof of these estimates combines the stationary phase method with sharp asymptotics on asymmetric Bessel functions, which may be ...

Dispersive stabilization [PDF]
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 2010 Ill posed linear and nonlinear initial value problems may be stabilized, that it converted to to well posed initial value problems, by the addition of purely nonscalar linear dispersive terms. This is a stability analog of the Turing instability. This idea applies to systems of quasilinear Schr dinger equations from nonlinear optics.
