The solubility of dodecane was determined using the theory of Lifshitz-Slyosov-Wagner for the Ostwald ripening phenomenon. For this purpose, a set of dodecane in water nanoemulsions stabilized with sodium dodecylsulfate was prepared. The…

Starting from a master equation, we derive the evolution equation for the size distribution of elements in an evolving system, where each element can grow, divide into two, and produce new elements. We then probe general solutions of the…

It has long been known that a uniform distribution of matter cannot produce a Poisson distribution of density fluctuations on very large scales $1/k > ct$ by the motion of discrete particles over timescale $t$. The constraint is part of…
