The World Ecology of Desalination

World-systems scholars are increasingly engaged in issues at the intersection of ecological and economic concerns since the proliferation of debates on the Anthropocene. Recently, the alternative concept of Capitalocene—age of Capital—has e...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Bed Exchange Characteristics of Fine Sediments From the Weser Estuary

Sedimentation of fine-grained sediments in estuaries is a natural physical phenomenon influenced by biogeochemical processes. In the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), enhanced net deposition of sediments is observed even in areas with high...

Interfacial magnetic reconstruction and emergent metallicity in oxide heterostructures.

Preparation of adlay (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) starch nanoparticles by food-grade Fenton-assisted ultrasonication: structure-property relationships and potential as Pickering nanoemulsions stabilizers.

Scalable micro/nanostructured superhydrophobic surface modifications for enhanced energy efficiency and heat transfer performance in stainless steel and titanium

Condensation refers to the change of a substance from a gaseous phase to a liquid phase, an example of which is the condensation of water vapor in nature. Condensation is used in many industries, such as energy generation and seawater desal...

Mechanochemical Synthesis of TiO₂-CeO₂ Mixed Oxides Utilized as a Screen-Printed Sensing Material for Oxygen Sensor

TiO2 and CeO2 are well known as oxygen sensing materials. Despite high sensitivity, the actual utilization of these materials in gas detection remains limited. Research conducted over the last two decades has revealed synergistic effects of...

On the Structure of Oxygen Deficient Amorphous Oxide Films

Abstract Understanding defects in amorphous oxide films and heterostructures is vital to improving performance of microelectronic devices, thin‐film transistors, and electrocatalysis. However, to what extent the structure and properties of ...

Study on the Growth Kinetics and Morphology of Methane Hydrate Film in a Porous Glass Microfluidic Device

Natural gas hydrates are widely considered one of the most promising green resources with large reserves. Most natural gas hydrates exist in deep-sea porous sediments. In order to achieve highly efficient exploration of natural gas hydrates...

Antibacterial effects of nano-imprinted moth-eye film in practical settings.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies report that surfaces displaying micrometer- or nanometer-sized undulating structures exhibit antibacterial effects. In previous work, we described the use of an advanced nanofabrication technique to generate an art...

Experimental studies of the influence of the characteristics of the metal bond coat on the durability of the heat-protective coating of the turbine blades of a gas turbine engine

The service life of gas turbine engine (GTE) turbine blades with thermal barrier coatings (TBC) depends on many factors, including the composition, structure and properties of the metal bond coating (MB). The positive effect of using TBC is...

Mnemonic Topographies in Green Border Film: Migration, Memory, Trauma and Cultural Identity

Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border (2023) theorizes contemporary migration as a cultural formation inscribed within regimes of memory, identity, and border aesthetics, articulating displacement as a constitutive condition of Europe’s collecti...

Application of Electric Field to Developing Falling Films using Wire-Plate Electrode Configuration- An Experimental Study

Experimental investigation of Electrohydrodynamic developing falling film flow of transformer oil has been conducted within an inclined rectangular channel and hydrodynamic characteristics of the flow have been revealed. The electric field ...

Optical Properties of Composites of Polymethylmethacrylate and Polyethylene with Micron Particles of Graphitic Carbon Nitride

Film heterostructures made of polymethyl methacrylate and low-density polyethylene with incorporated micron-sized particles of a semiconductor (graphite-like carbon nitride g-C3N4), fabricated using a component mixing and casting technique,...

Air‐Resistant Titanium Oxide Capping for Graphene/Ferromagnet Heterostructures

Abstract Graphene/ferromagnet interfaces have widely demonstrated the capability to host peculiar magnetic and electronic properties relevant for spintronic devices. In principle, besides strengthening perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA...

Nanoparticle Deposition of Fluoropolymer CYTOP via Holographic Femtosecond Laser Processing and Its Biochip Application

The fundamental characteristics of nanoparticle (NP) deposition of the fluoropolymer CYTOP using a femtosecond (fs) laser were investigated. In previous studies, we have demonstrated the microfluidic fabrication of CYTOP, which enables clea...

Tensioned flexible riser vibrations under wave excitation, an investigation on the scale effect

In order to study the scale effect in wave-structure interactions and the role that structure-related parameters (tension T or bending stiffness EI) plays, riser model tests under regular waves were conducted using the model with multiple g...
