We suggest a simple quantitative model for the diminution of contact angle hysteresis under the influence of an oscillatory force invoked by thermal fluctuations, substrate vibrations, acoustic waves, or oscillating electric fields. Employing force balance rather than the usual description of contact angle hysteresis…

The surface structure and morphology of cobalt oxide thin films grown on Au(111) were studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and ultraviolet and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. Initial growth in O 2 led to 2-D CoO clusters exhibiting a superstructure in STM images characteristic of the lattice mismatch…

A selective release system was demonstrated with a dual-cargo loaded MSNs. When stimulated by different signals (UV or H(+)), this system could selectively release different kinds of cargoes individually. Furthermore, this system has been used to provide a combination of chemotherapy and biotherapy for cancer treatmen…

Starch foams from native cassava starch/cross‐linked starch blends were prepared by baking in a hot mold. The native cassava starch/cross‐linked starch ratio was varied in the series of 100/0, 80/20, 60/40, 50/50, 40/60, 20/80, and 0/100. The effect of the native cassava starch/cross‐linked starch ratio on the propert…

The functionality of graphene and other two-dimensional materials in electronic devices is highly influenced by the film-substrate charge transfer affecting local carrier density. We demonstrate that charges buried under the few layer graphene on/in the insulating substrate can be detected using electromechanical actu…

The superconducting fluctuations well inside the normal state of Fe-based superconductors were experimentally studied through the in-plane paraconductivity in several high-quality, optimally doped BaFe 2− x Ni x As 2 crystals. These measurements were performed in magnetic fields with amplitudes up to 14 T, and differe…

The solution-mediated polymorphic transformation of FV sulphathiazole was investigated in ethanol at 10 °C. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) identified the transformation product as a mixture of FII and FIV sulphathiazole. This mixture remained stable in solution at 10 °C with agitation for 24 h. In situ temperature co…

Abstract BACKGROUND The kaolin flocculant activities of bovine blood (BB) and hemoglobin (HEM) at different salt and pH values were determined. Lower limit concentration (LLC), window of application (WA), and degrees of clarification (DC) values for BB and HEM were determined and compared with those of the synthetic p…

The thermal expansion of a hole, in a planar system, follows the same trend as the thermal expansion of the whole system, i.e., the hole expands (contracts) if the material expands (contracts) under thermal excitation. At nanoscale, this phenomenon has not been studied so far. Here, using tools of classical molecular…
