  Catalytic Stripper for Solid Particle Number, Size, and Mass Emission Measurement, 08-9293
Dry soot particles are formed in the combustion chamber of an engine, while most of the volatile material enters the particle phase from the gas phase as the exhaust cools.
It also would help in identifying solid particle number and size that may be the subject of future PM regulation, particularly in Europe.
The catalyst and geometry of the substrate were characterized and sized to prevent solid particle losses, in the size range typical of diesel exhaust, and yet achieve near 100-percent removal of volatile materials.

  Ultrafine Particle Number Concentrations from Hybrid Urban Transit Buses: Onboard Single-Diameter Scanning Mobility ...
This study examines the ultrafine particle (particle mobility diameters of <100 nm) number concentrations and size distributions for conventional diesel and hybrid electric diesel transit buses by the use of onboard exhaust measurements with a scanning mobility particle sizer from TSI, Inc., operated in single-diameter mode.
Particle number concentrations were higher, on average, for high-load routes (freeway 65-mph commuter and steep-grade routes).
There were no significant differences in particle number distributions between the 2003 parallel hybrid electric and the 2002 conventional diesel bus types, likely because of the similar diesel engine specifications and a hybrid control strategy that was not optimized for particulate emissions benefits.

  Particle number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The particle number, N, is the number of so called 'elementary particles' (or elementary constituents) in a thermodynamical system.
The particle number is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics and it is conjugate to the chemical potential.
By calling a constituent element, we state that it cannot be broken into smaller pieces at the scale of energy k·T involved in the process.

Because of this, particle counters must be used to provide a statistically valid sample of the air in a cleanroom (or the liquid in a tank, or the gas in a cylinder.) A statistically valid air sample is a sample that is representative of the average air in the rest of the room.
Liquid particle counters are used to count particles in almost every kind of liquid, from water to hydrofluoric acid to petrochemicals to injectible drugs.
Particle Counters for Gas are used to determine the purity of various gases, both inert and corrosive.

 Two-component type developer, developing method and image forming method - Patent 5712069   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A smaller particle size of magnetic carrier is preferred from the viewpoint of a higher image quality but is liable to increase the carrier attachment based on a relation between the magnetic force and the particle size.
If the particles having sizes in the range of at most a half of the number-average particle size exceed 20% by number as an accumulative amount, the magnetic carrier is liable to cause an increased carrier attachment and have a poor charging ability to a toner.
The particle size of the toner used in the present invention is closely associated with the particle size of the magnetic carrier.

 Baryon Number Generation in the Early Universe (1980)
Several collision times are then necessary for the actual number distributions of the massive particles to relax into their equilibrium forms; if the rate of expansion is much larger than the rate of interactions, then significant deviations from equilibrium may result.
When massive particles are present, therefore, the expansion of the universe is no longer reversible; deviations from thermal equilibrium may occur, and in their relaxation, the entropy of the universe may increase slightly (7).
One example of this effect is in the survival of massive stable particles from the early universe [13].

Despite LDL cholesterol levels at ATP III goal, elevated LDL particle numbers were found in 64% of CHD risk equivalent patients, such as patients with type II diabetes.
When lipoprotein particles are small, there must be more of them to carry equivalent amounts of cholesterol, up to 70% more lipoprotein particles.
By the same logic, to the right, when particles carry varying amounts of cholesterol per lipoprotein particle, regardless of particle size, there must be more compositionally abnormal particles to carry equivalent amounts of cholesterol.

 Quantum Gravity Concept Map - Particles and Fields
Here "identifiable" means that the characteristics of one type of particle allow it to be distinguished from another type of particle which differs in at least one of those characteristics.
In fact, by defining a field (often called the "vacuum") which has all possible particle characteristics, one can describe the entire universe of matter and energy with a single field (which is of course useless for computational purposes, but absolutely necessary when we consider that any two timelike separated particles are interacting).
Note that the definition of the vacuum quantum numbers depends on the spacetime frame of reference, since one of the symmetry groups of the vacuum is shared by the spacetime manifold.

The average of all the particle size distributions recorded within the plant sector at a site located 4.5 km from the plant, over the sampling period when the plant was operating also showed a bimodal distribution.
The average contribution of the plant (for plant sector winds) was estimated to be (10.0 ± 3.8)x102 particles cm-3 and constituted approximately a 50% increase over the local particle ambient concentration for plant sector winds.
This increase in particle number concentration compared to the local background, while high compared to the clean environments, is not significant when compared to concentrations generally encountered in the urban environment of Brisbane.
