The classical electrostatic problem of two nonintersecting conducting spheres in a uniform incident electric field is considered. Starting from the basic Kelvin’s image principle, the two spheres are replaced with equivalent series of image sources, from which the polarizability is calculated. Explicit expressions for the axial and transversal components of the polarizability dyadic are found by solving the recurrence equations. Efficient numerical evaluation of the different series is also discussed.

“…In turn, from f, an accurate estimate of one physical quantity in [1] is possible if the others are known for a transparent, Newtonian, dielectric liquid; this can be of particular value in the case of measuring E0 (9). Apart from their importance to doublet behaviour these observations are of interest in pointing a way to new methods of studying dielectric breakdown phenomena.…”

Bacterial attachment to abiotic surfaces can be explained as a physicochemical process. Mechanisms of the process have been widely studied but are not yet well understood due to their complexity. Physicochemical processes can be influenced by various interactions and factors in attachment systems, including, but not limited to, hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic interactions and substratum surface roughness. Mechanistic models and control strategies for bacterial attachment to abiotic surfaces have been established based on the current understanding of the attachment process and the interactions involved. Due to a lack of process control and standardization in the methodologies used to study the mechanisms of bacterial attachment, however, various challenges are apparent in the development of models and control strategies. In this review, the physicochemical mechanisms, interactions and factors affecting the process of bacterial attachment to abiotic surfaces are described. Mechanistic models established based on these parameters are discussed in terms of their limitations. Currently employed methods to study these parameters and bacterial attachment are critically compared. The roles of these parameters in the development of control strategies for bacterial attachment are reviewed, and the challenges that arise in developing mechanistic models and control strategies are assessed.
