Evaluation of the dispersants effectiveness using the Baffled Flask Test
Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2022 The use of chemical dispersants is one of the most widely used methods for responding to oil spills. The most important characteristic of dispersants is their effectiveness.

A normalized parameter for comparison of biofilm dispersants in vitro [PDF]
BiofilmDispersal of infectious biofilms increases bacterial concentrations in blood. To prevent sepsis, the strength of a dispersant should be limited to allow the immune system to remove dispersed bacteria from blood, preferably without antibiotic ...

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 ...

Effect of dispersant on the performances of an ice slurry-wet precooling system
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2023 This study addresses the problem of prolonged precooling time and excessive weight loss of fruits and vegetables during postharvest processes. Ice slurry precooling system shows potential but faces challenges like low undercooling and ice blockage ...

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 Schrödinger equations from nonlinear optics.

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.

Shock Waves in Dispersive Hydrodynamics with Nonconvex Dispersion [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2017 Dissipationless hydrodynamics regularized by dispersion describe a number of physical media including water waves, nonlinear optics, and Bose-Einstein condensates. As in the classical theory of hyperbolic equations where a non-convex flux leads to non-classical solution structures, a non-convex linear dispersion relation provides an intriguing ...
