β¦ Synopsis
A model for a multicomponent system using the cell for determining apparent diffusion coefficients in gels and foods was developed. In this case, the generalized Fick's law form was used as a constitutive eauation for the diffusive molar flux of solutes. Using the method of eiaenvectors and eigenvalues, the mass transfer equations were rearranged to simplify the mathematical t&tment. Simple expressions for determining the diffusion coefficients of two or more solutes which diffuse in a rigid medium were obtained. In this case, experiments to study the diffusion of NaCl and KC1 in cheese were shown and the corresponding effective diffusion coefficients were obtained.

ALL CURRENT methods for the determination of diffusion coefficients of gases dissolved in liquids suffer from two main disadvantages. Firstly, each measurement requires a period of hours or even days to complete, and secondly, the methods are somewhat limited in their application [ 11. A critical re
## Abstract Soil cores from river marginal wetlands from the Torridge and Severn catchments in the UK were collected to study rates of soil denitrification at different sites and at two stations (levee and backplain depression) at the river margin. Half the cores were sterilized prior to flooding t
A method is described for determining the diffusion coefficients of small solutes in limited volumes (approximately equal to 4-9 ml) of fluid. Diffusion is measured in a three-chamber diffusion cell across a central unstirred compartment. Compartments are separated by nitrocellulose membranes. The i
We consider an adaptation of the well-known logistic equation in mathematical ecology in which the population is assumed to diffuse and for which the average growth rate is a function of some specified delayed argument. Using a combination of analytical and numerical techniques, we investigate the e
