Abstract:
The influence of the initial adsorption coverage at the surface of an air bubble (radius 0.74 mm) formed at a capillary orifice on profiles of its rising velocities and shape variations was investigated in n-octanol, n-octyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Tween80 solutions of different concentrations. The bubble formation and the degree of adsorption coverage at its surface at the moment of departure were controlled using an elaborated automatic bubble generator (Bubble-on-Demand) coupled with a programmable bubble trap, allowing adsorption time control over the motionless (captured) bubble interface. It was found that the degree of the initial bubble adsorption coverage (whose value was calculated according to the existing adsorption models), has a profound influence on the kinetics of the dynamic adsorption layer (DAL) development.

One-Degree-of-Freedom System
A one-degree-of-freedom system is defined by an independent variable that determines its state and behavior. One example of a one-degree-of-freedom system is a simple harmonic oscillator, such as a...
Degrees of Freedom
For example, suppose there are three unknown numbers whose mean is 10; although we can freely assign values to the first and second numbers, the value of the last number can not be arbitrarily assigned.

Initiation of Translation
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...
Degree of Unsaturation
The degree of unsaturation for hydrocarbons is U = (2C + 2 − H) / 2, where C is the number of carbon atoms and H is the number of hydrogen atoms.
