Both microphysical (e.g., hydrophilic - to
hydrophobic nature of emissions into the atmosphere, aging of the aerosols, wet deposition) and meteorological aspects govern the horizontal and vertical distribution patterns of BC aerosols, and the residence time of these aerosols is thus sensitive to these factors (Cooke et al., 2002; Stier et al., 2006b).

n't hydrophobic by nature, in fact some like getting wet, but for some reason felines tend not to drink as much water as they should.
Our general approach has been to make use of structural motifs found in native proteins that are predisposed to interact with a particular binding geometry, and then further bolster these anchor points with favourable
hydrophobic contacts.
