). However, for flat films, given the randomness of the initial amplitude distribution, filaments with a broad distribution in both size and spacing are obtained with very limited control. Our strategy is instead to select the dominant dewetting instability of the textured film (total growth rate...
As hand strength and hand length are closely associated and the fact that hand length is significantly greater in men, this may explain differences48. Similarly, although we did not include male participants due to its limited prevalence and, accordingly, sex differences could not be assessed, we...
The production of nuclear fusion energy, in the future DEMOnstration power plant (DEMO), is based on tritium self-sufficiency, achievable exploiting neutron-lithium reaction occurring in the breeding blanket modules. To fulfil the plant design conditions ceramic materials containing lithium are suggested...
In terms of pure water electrolysis, oxygen gas produced at the anode has very limited commercial use and is usually discharged without being captured for any valuable purpose.18 Replacing the OER with more oxidizable anode reactions with lower thermodynamic potentials is groundbreaking for the effici...
All samples were analyzed in the magnification range of 40,000–600,000×. 2.3.5. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) TGA of the freeze-dried samples was run on a Netzsch STA 449F1 instrument at a heating rate of 10 °C/min from room temperature to 800 °C under nitrogen purge gas. 2.4...
being useful to mark specific organelles in light of live cell bioimaging. Interestingly, this molecule-dependent behavior matched the different amphiphilicity featured by these bioactive compounds, which are thus expected to be caught in a tug-of-war between lipophilicity, ensured by the presence of...
France (1921-1940) Superheavy Tank – 10 Built Introduction: The First Production “Super Heavy” Tank The debut of the tank, followed by a series of failures, but eventual success, occured during World War 1. As the tank proved its worth on the battlefield, the French military called ...
First, a low-power/energy beam is directed to the optic under test. The optic is exposed in 10 locations to this laser beam for 30 seconds (CW) or for a number of pulses (pulse repetition frequency specified). After exposure, the optic is examined by a microscope (~100X magnification) ...
Sonic hedgehog subgroup of medulloblastoma (SHH-MB) is characterized by aberrant activation of the SHH signaling pathway. An inhibition of the positive SHH regulator Smoothened (SMO) has demonstrated promising clinical efficacy. Yet, primary and acquired
In the past few years, tooth whitening became one of the most popular methods for attaining the initial enamel shade. The result of whitening gel may be improved through temperature, light or laser. The bond power between the enamel and also the composite is reduced through bleaching and laser...
