## Abstract A lowβcost and simple magnetic particle tracer method was adapted to characterize the hydrodynamic behavior of an internalβ and an externalβloop airlift reactor (ALR). The residence time distribution of three magnetic particles differing in diameter (5.5, 11.0 and 21.2 mm) and with a de

β¦ Synopsis
Many interesting and challenging physical mechanisms are concerned with the mathematical notion of eigenstructure. In two-fluid models, complex phasic interactions yield a complex eigenstructure which may raise numerous problems in numerical simulations. In this paper, we develop a perturbation method to examine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of two-fluid models. This original method, based on the stiffness of the density ratio, provides a convenient tool to study the relevance of pressure momentum interactions and allows us to get precise approximations of the whole flow eigendecomposition for minor requirements. Roe scheme is successfully implemented and some numerical tests are presented.

Relatively conservative modifications of three proteins were carried out to alter their surface properties. The protein properties modified were hydrophobicity and charge. This was done by acylation of amino groups with anhydrides. For the hydrophobic modification experiments, two proteins (p-lactog
Two different series of hydrophobically modified proteins were partitioned in a number of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) to investigate the effect of hydrophobicity as a single property on partitioning. The modified proteins were derived from P-lactoglobulin and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Measure
A series of charge-modified thaumatins with different values of surface charge were partitioned in aqueous twophase systems (ATPS) to study the effect of surface charge as a single property on partitioning. Electrophoretic mobility of the proteins in titration curves was used as a measure of surface
