Benzene solutions of lignoceric (CH3(CH2)->2COOH) and stearic (CH3(CH2)i6COOH) acids with concentrations of 1 X 10 3 and 3 x 10-3 mol-L1, respectively, were spread on the pure water surface atTsp of 293 K. Since Tsp is below Tm of the lignoceric acid (Tm - 347 K) and the stearic acid (Tm =317 K) monolayers [31] those monolayers are in a crystalline state. The subphase water was purified with the Milli-QII system. The lignoceric acid monolayer was prepared at a surface pressure of 5 mN-m 1 by a continuous compression at a rate of 1.7 X 10 3 nm--molecule 1 s 1. The stearic acid monolayer was prepared at 23 mN-m-1 by the continuous compression method or the multi-step creep method [39]. The multi-step creep method is a monolayer preparation method for which the monolayer is stepwisely compressed up to a...

For data in which the variables are expressed as a continuous physical property (e.g. spectroscopy data, where the property is wavelength or wavenumber), the Fourier transform can provide a compressed representation of the data. The Fourier compression method can be applied to one analyzer profile (i.e. spectrum) at a time. 

Incompressible steady flows are commonly solved by pressure-based methods and methods based on the concept of artificial compressibility [183, 45]. The extension of pressure correction methods to steady flows, generally elliptic equations, has been performed by Patankar and Spalding [140] and Patankar [141]. The artificial compressibility method for calculating steady incompressible flows was proposed by Chorin [29]. In this method, an artificial compressibility term is introduced in the continuity equation, and the unsteady terms in the momentum equations are retained. Hence, the system of equations becomes hj perbolic and many of the methods developed for h3rperbolic systems can be applied. 

I.5. Compressibility method. In a hard-sphere model, the solvated cation can be regarded as embedded in a spherical cavity within a continuous solvent (Padova 1964). The production by the high electrostatic field of the cation of dielectric saturation in the surrounding hydration sphere would result in an incompressible hydration shell (Passinsky 1938). This assumption leads to the equation... 

As already explained the necessity to satisfy the BB stability condition restricts the types of available elements in the modelling of incompressible flow problems by the U-V P method. To eliminate this restriction the continuity equation representing the incompressible flow is replaced by an equation corresponding to slightly compressible fluids, given as... 

The described continuous penaltyf) time-stepping scheme may yield unstable results in some problems. Therefore we consider an alternative scheme which provides better numerical stability under a wide range of conditions. This scheme is based on the U-V-P method for the slightly compressible continuity equation, described in Chapter 3, Section 1.2, in conjunction with the Taylor-Galerkin time-stepping (see Chapter 2, Section 2.5). The governing equations used in this scheme are as follows...
