On the fluctuations of jamming coverage upon random sequential adsorption on homogeneous and heterogeneous media
The fluctuations of the jamming coverage upon Random Sequential Adsorption
(RSA) are studied using both analytical and numerical techniques. Our main
result shows that these fluctuations (characterized by )
decay with the lattice size according to the power-law . The exponent depends on the dimensionality of
the substrate and the fractal dimension of the set where the RSA process
actually takes place () according to .This
theoretical result is confirmed by means of extensive numerical simulations
applied to the RSA of dimers on homogeneous and stochastic fractal substrates.
Furthermore, our predictions are in excellent agreement with different previous
numerical results.
It is also shown that, studying correlated stochastic processes, one can
define various fluctuating quantities designed to capture either the underlying
physics of individual processes or that of the whole system. So, subtle
differences in the definitions may lead to dramatically different physical
interpretations of the results. Here, this statement is demonstrated for the
case of RSA of dimers on binary alloys.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figure
Sensory Characteristics of Frankfurters as Affected by Fat, Salt, and pH
Acceptable processing and flavor profile characteristics of frankfurters were achieved near a pH of 6.0. As salt increased, hardness, juiciness, saltiness, and flavor intensity scores increased. As fat increased, juiciness scores decreased (at salt levels \u3e 1.3%) due to substitution of water for fat. In addition, increased fat resulted in decreased off‐flavor. Model predictions suggested that acceptable frankfurters could be manufactured with a minimum of 11.25% fat and 1.3% salt at pH 6.0. Copyright © 1995, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserve
