New electroanalytical applications of self-assembled monolayers

New applications of self-assembled monolayers of thiol compounds on gold electrodes are reviewed. They include: (i) exploitation of electrical control of self-assembly of thiol compounds for electrically-addressable immobilization of receptor molecules onto sensor arrays; (ii) a spreader-bar technique for formation of stable nanostructures; and, (iii) use of self-assembled monolayers as selective filters for chemical sensors.     

Some remarks on planar Boussinesq equations

The main purpose of this paper is to prove the well-posedness of the two-dimensional Boussinesq equations when the initial vorticity ω 0 ∈L1 (R 2 ) (or the finite Radon measure space). Using the stream function form of the equations and the Schauder fixed-point theorem to get the new proof of these results, we get that when the initial vorticity is smooth, there exists a unique classical solutions for the Cauchy problem of the two dimensional Boussinesq equations.

LES prediction of space-time correlations in turbulent shear flows

We compare the space-time correlations calculated from direct numerical simulation(DNS) and large-eddy simulation(LES) of turbulent channel flows.It is found from the comparisons that the LES with an eddy-viscosity subgrid scale(SGS) model over-predicts the space-time correlations than the DNS.The overpredictions are further quantified by the integral scales of directional correlations and convection velocities.A physical argument for the overprediction is provided that the eddy-viscosity SGS model alone does not includes the backscatter effects although it correctly represents the energy dissipations of SGS motions.This argument is confirmed by the recently developed elliptic model for space-time correlations in turbulent shear flows.It suggests that enstrophy is crucial to the LES prediction of spacetime correlations.The random forcing models and stochastic SGS models are proposed to overcome the overpredictions on space-time correlations.
