The effect of atmospheric turbulence on the propagation properties of optical vortices formed by using coherent laser beam arrays [PDF]
In this paper, we consider the effect of atmospheric turbulence on the propagation of an optical vortex, which may be formed from a radial coherent laser beam array with an initially well-defined phase distribution.

A MALDI-TOF MS Approach for Mammalian, Human, and Formula Milks’ Profiling [PDF]
Human milk composition is dynamic, and substitute formulae are intended to mimic its protein content. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potentiality of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF

Chemical composition of nanoparticles from α-pinene nucleation and the influence of isoprene and relative humidity at low temperature [PDF]
Biogenic organic precursors play an important role in atmospheric new particle formation (NPF). One of the major precursor species is α-pinene, which upon oxidation can form a suite of products covering a wide range of volatilities.

Making Sense of Helices: Right and Wrong Models in Science and Art
Helices are ubiquitous in art and nature. Independent of their pitch and sense of rotation (handedness), helices in sculpture, painting, architecture, scientific illustrations, conference announcements, logos, and advertising are eye-catching and ...

Oligomer formation from the gas-phase reactions of Criegee intermediates with hydroperoxide esters: mechanism and kinetics [PDF]
Hydroperoxide esters, formed in the reactions of carbonyl oxides (also called Criegee intermediates, CIs) with formic acid, play a crucial role in the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in the atmosphere.

The aim of the study was defined as a complementary analysis of molecular interactions between zinc (Zn) and fulvic acids (FAs) at a broad pH range (3–7), different metal concentrations (0–50 mg dm−3) and chemical properties of FAs and their impact on ...

Composition and volatility of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed from oxidation of real tree emissions compared to simplified volatile organic compound (VOC) systems [PDF]
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is an important constituent of the atmosphere where SOA particles are formed chiefly by the condensation or reactive uptake of oxidation products of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Complex refractive indices in the ultraviolet and visible spectral region for highly absorbing non-spherical biomass burning aerosol [PDF]
Biomass burning aerosol is a major source of PM2.5, and significantly affects Earth's radiative budget. The magnitude of its radiative effect is poorly quantified due to uncertainty in the optical properties of aerosol formed from biomass burning.

Formulae for well formed formulae and their enumeration [PDF]
1. General Idea. In this paper formal operators and bracketings devices are essentially the same; so are well formed formulae and correct bracketings.A well known theorem of symbolic logic (Post languages, etc.) and universal algebra characterizes well formed formulae among (linear) strings of symbols for variables and operators in terms of a system of
