Slow sand filtration is most appropriate where there is funding to subsidize the initial cost of the filter, available training for use and maintenance, locally available sand, and a transportation network capable of moving the filter.…
Traditional approaches to identify ion-transport pathways often presume equal probability of occupying all hopping sites and focus entirely on finding the lowest migration barrier channels between them. Although this strategy has been…
We introduce a new particle system that we call the SSEP with traps, which is non reversible, attractive, and has a transient regime. We study its \emph{transience time} $\theta_K$, meaning the time after which the system is no longer in a…
The motion of an ion in a coherent lower hybrid wave (characterized by |k_parallel| << |k_perp| and omega >> Omega_i) in a tokamak plasma is studied. For ions satisfying v_perp > omega/k_perp, the Lorentz force law for the ions is reduced…
