For our giant-sized countdown of erotic movies, we go deep into the annals of cinema history and pull out some prime ’80s sleaze (9 1/2 Weeks, Body Double), international and arthouse flicks (3-D Sex and Zen, Romance), LGBTQ-focused (Blue is the Warmest Color, Stranger by the ...
If Orson Welles’s Touch of Evil is generally understood to be the end of Hollywood’s initial noir cycle, then Blood Simple, financed and produced independently, announces a resurrection of the style under a different order of operations, one linking the production methods of the ’80s slasher...
The global issue of synthetic plastic waste necessitates biodegradable alternatives, and this study examines the enzymatic degradation of starch/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) films synthesized via solution casting. This work is novel in its demonstration of Penicillium oxalicum as a potent source of amylase ...
5b). Immediately after the application and during the whole initial phase of monitoring period (10 days), the PCL-PCA copolymer remained adherent to the wounds and no signs of dissolution and detachment were noticed for all the coral wounds under analysis except for a single wound that lost ...
Film Co., Ltd. which cut light of 400 nm or less using a xenon tester (illuminance: 200,000 lux). A change in density at the area having an initial density of 2.0 was determined using a Macbeth densitometer, RD-514 model (Status AA filter). The results obtained are shown in Table ...
The following layers were provided on a 127 μm thick cellulose triacetate film having a subbing layer to prepare a multilayer color light-sensitive material, designated sample 101. The amounts shown below are coating weights per m2. The function of the compound added is not limited to the ...
These stories are quite thought-provoking if not as moving as they could be, and I shall read the initial set, “Atlantic” which established Claire Keegan as a prize-winning writer. However, her work seems to have evolved over the years, from an over-reliance on folk tales and caricatures...

Therefore, while the chemical evolution of PDA films during application may not be completely avoidable, their properties upon device fabrication (e.g., surface charge, cation sorption, redox capacity, functional groups) can determine the initial operating behavior and functional lifespan of the ...
The results show that our proposed water film cooling system can effectively inhibit the diffusion of smoke during the initial stage of a fire, creating a safe evacuation waiting zone for disadvantaged evacuees. Citation: Chiu, S.-H.; Wu, C.; Chen, C.-Y.; Lin, T.-H.; Lee, S.-K....
