Transport and Mixing in Planetary Polar Vortices with Annular and Monopolar Potential Vorticity Structures by Jacob Shultis, William Seviour, Darryn Waugh, Anthony Toigo

“…Polar vortices are a common feature in the solar system, but their structure varies between planets. Although polar vortices are characterized by a coherent region of high potential vorticity (PV) in the polar regions, the meridional variation of PV ranges from strong monopolar to annular distributions. …”

Detection of micellar structures in oil-water-surfactant systems with a photoacoustic method by S. J. POGORZELSKI, J. SZURKOWSKI, A. ŚLIWIŃSKI

“…Model studies were performed with a layered system consisting of thin olive oil layers (25-250 μm in thickness) spread over the water surface using a photoacoustic method. Significant variations in the signal phase and amplitude found out at the interfaces (air/oil and oil/water) as well as at a depth of 9-13 μm beneath the oil surface point to the formation of organized clathrate molecular structures under the film-covered surfaces and micellar structures of surfactants if present in a bulk oil phase at an appropriate concentration (above CMC) and temperature (Krafft point). …”

Sensory structures on mouthpart palps in Trichoptera: ground plan and basal evolution trends by Kseniia T. Abu Diiak, Mikhail Yu. Valuyskiy, Stanislav I. Melnitsky, Vladimir D. Ivanov

“…This primitive diversity changes in evolution so the apical sensory complex, the fields of petaloid sensilla, the groups of very long blunt trichoid sensilla of basal segments, and the pseudoplacoid sensilla disappear in some advanced instances, more often on the maxillary palps. Interspecific variations of sensilla might be important for species discrimination, while the distribution of certain sensory structures is important for higher taxonomy.…”
