Or are there subtle differences of meaning involved here? The online version of theOxford English Dictionarydefines a colloid as a “homogeneous non-crystalline substance of large molecules or ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through a second substance.” In addition, it is asserte...

Charging policy is 16 host CPU cores plus 14 GPU streaming multiprocesor cores, i.e., 30 cores per node irrespective of actual core usage, meaning GPU use is cost-efficient. It is instructive to compare the hardware capability with what is needed by the computation. For example, in the ...
(Supplementary Note 2;Supplementary Fig. 2). To numerically minimize the free energy we use a custom-developed finite-element method, which is capable of scanning the finest structures of a surface with a high resolution. In finite-element method, a surface with its exact mathematical meaning (...
Therefore, the core-shell terminology has in many cases a rather different meaning compared to the one associated with QDs such as CdSe/ZnS QDs, where the core and shell have clearly defined phase boundary. This peculiarity of CNCs must be remembered when considering the description of excited-...
In the first series, the hydrogenation of the alkene becomes significant once all the alkyne has been converted, as the k2/k3 ratio is 15. However, in the second series this ratio becomes 1.5, meaning that parallel and consecutive mechanisms contribute almost equally to the formation of alkane...
the term protoplast meaning a plant cell from which the cell wall has been removed. We have found that spore-protoplasts can be fused and regenerated to whole plants, in contrast to protoplasts derived from vegetative cells of the plants, which either cannot be regenerated or upon regeneration ...
the same meaning as above. This means that the specific activity (Bq/mg) of the dissolved and exchangeable phenanthrene bound to colloids is the same: m w /ɑ w ¼ m LC /ɑ LC (3) As the isotopic ratio in these two fractions is equal then the isotopic ratio of the overall exch...

Additionally, the concept of a director field loses its meaning and becomes undefined over length scales comparable to the molecular scale. This imposes a lower limit onto the sizes of satellites and the number of possible fractal evolution steps. Beyond this point, liquid crystals cannot support ...
