Abstract:
A composite subdiffusion equation with fractional Caputo time derivative with respect to another function g is used to describe a process of a continuous transition from subdiffusion with parameters α and D_{α} to subdiffusion with parameters β and D_{β}. The parameters are defined by the time evolution of the mean square displacement of diffusing particle σ^{2}(t)=2D_{i}t^{i}/Γ(1+i), i=α,β. The function g controls the process at intermediate times. The composite subdiffusion equation is more general than the ordinary fractional subdiffusion equation with constant parameters; it has potentially wide application in modeling diffusion processes with changing parameters.

Theories of Dissolution: Diffusion Layer Model
This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...

Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:
