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 ...

Enhanced echoes – Digitisation and new perspectives on film sound

To say that sound has long been a neglected subject in film studies has become something of a commonplace ‐ yet this is no longer true. Starting in the 1980s with a special edition of the journal Yale French Studies film scholars have incre...

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...

A confirmatory analysis of the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions questionnaire for community-based surveillance of infectious diseases: a cross-sectional study in Malaysia

Objectives This study aimed to validate the psychometric properties of the recently developed knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions questionnaire for community-based surveillance of infectious diseases (KAP-CBS-ID questionnaire), using conf...

Hybrid Coatings Based on Polyvinylpyrrolidone/Polyethylene Glycol Enriched with Collagen and Hydroxyapatite: Incubation Studies and Evaluation of Mechanical and Physiochemical Properties

Coating materials offers an intriguing solution for imparting inert implants with additional bioactive characteristics without changing underlying parameters such as mechanical strength. Metallic implants like endoprostheses or polymeric im...

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...

The use of tear ferning test in cats for evaluation of ocular surface

Abstract Background The tear film is a trilaminar fluid composed mainly of lipids, electrolytes, proteins and water. It is responsible for lubrication, nutrition and protection against microbial and toxic agents. Disruption of any these com...

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,...

Influence of thin surface oxide films on hydrogen isotope release from ion-irradiated tungsten

We studied the influence of thin, electro-chemically grown tungsten (W) surface oxide films on hydrogen isotope release from W. As deuterium (D) reservoir underneath the oxide, we used a defect-rich, ion-irradiated W layer that was filled w...

Empatia e giustizia nella ricezione artistica dei casi e del processo intorno al terrorismo nero in Germania

The article analyses the various levels on which justice figures as a motif in Fatih Akin’s film In the fade (2017). According to my reading, ‘justice’ informs on the level of aesthetics of reception as well as at the level of production: f...

O velho e o novo: tensão entre experimentação artística no cinema de Eisenstein e as demandas ideológicas soviéticas

O texto aborda questões acerca da técnica de montagem no cinema de Sergei Eisenstein, suas relações com o pensamento artístico das vanguardas do início do século XX e com o debate político-ideológico soviético. Nesse contexto, o artigo anal...

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...
