The aim of this study was to determine the size distribution and flux of the mineral fraction collected in marine sediment traps in Mejillones Bay (23u S) using image-based size analysis. In this bay the material settling ...

This work describes recent progress in Cold Gas Dynamic Spraying process of conventional and nanocrystalline 2618 (Al-Cu-Mg-Fe-Ni) aluminum alloy containing Sc. As-atomized and cryomilled 2618 + Sc aluminum powders were ...

The addition of metal particles, for instance, silver or copper, into polymer matrices is a relevant strategy producing novel antimicrobial materials. By using two particles with diameters around 10nm and 45 mu m, and ...

Hydrocolloids are used as stabilizing agents in order to enhance the physical stability of emulsions during their storage. However, they can also play an important role in nutrient release and bioavailability. In this ...

As previously observed in marine sediments collected downwind of African or South American continental sources, recent studies of sediment cores collected at the bottom of Mejillones Bay in north Chile (23°S) show a ...

Machine components operating in a fluid under conditions of cavitation and hard particle erosion can be severely affected by wear, which may reduce the lifespans of the components. To understand this synergic behaviour, ...

We derive a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approximation for anisotropic dispersion that only depends upon the first derivative of the kernel function and study its numerical properties. In addition, we compare ...

A novel parallel simulation algorithm on the GPU, implemented in CUDA and C++, is presented for the simulation of Brownian particles that display excluded volume repulsion and interact with long and short range forces. ...
