Fluctuation of the number of particles deposited on a flat surface by a random sequential adsorption mechanism. [PDF]
The problem of the fluctuations of the number n of particles adsorbed on surfaces through a random sequential adsorption process is discussed. Attention is paid, in particular, to the effect of the size of the adsorbing surfaces upon the variance sigma2(n) of this number.

Broadband design of acoustic metasurfaces for the stabilization of a Mach 4 boundary layer flow
A piecewise acoustic metasurface is designed to suppress the first mode while marginally amplifying the Mack second mode in a Mach 4 flat-plate boundary layer (BL) flow.

Role of diatoms in the spatial-temporal distribution of intracellular nitrate in intertidal sediment. [PDF]
Intracellular nitrate storage allows microorganisms to survive fluctuating nutrient availability and anoxic conditions in aquatic ecosystems. Here we show that diatoms, ubiquitous and highly abundant microalgae, represent major cellular reservoirs of ...

Far Wake and Its Relation to Aerodynamic Efficiency
Correlations were found between the aerodynamic efficiency and the mean and fluctuating quantities in the far wake of a wall-to-wall SD7003 model and an AR 4 flat plate.

Examining the spatial and temporal variation of groundwater inflows to a valley-to-floodplain river using 222Rn, geochemistry and river discharge: the Ovens River, southeast Australia [PDF]
Radon (222Rn) and major ion geochemistry were used to define and quantify the catchment-scale groundwater-surface water interactions along the Ovens River in the southeast Murray–Darling Basin, Victoria, Australia, between September 2009 and October 2011.

Lateral-drag propulsion forces induced by anisotropy
We predict the existence of lateral drag forces near the flat surface of an absorbing slab made of an anisotropic material. The forces originate from the fluctuations of the electromagnetic field, when the anisotropy axis of the material forms a certain ...
