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...

Shaping a Southern Soundscape

Grace Elizabeth Hale reviews Karl Hagstrom Miller's Segregating Sound: Inventing Folk and Pop Music in the Age of Jim Crow (Durham: Duke University Press, 2010)....

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...

Agarose Gel Characterization for the Fabrication of Brain Tissue Phantoms for Infrared Multispectral Vision Systems

Synthetic phantoms that recreate the characteristics of biological tissues are valuable tools for systematically studying and comprehending physiologies, pathologies, and biological processes related to tissues. The reproduction of mechanic...

Dynamic of upper body sweat distribution in young males wearing fully encapsulated chemical protective ensembles

Abstract Impermeability is a feature of fully encapsulated chemical protective ensembles (FCPE), which can affect people's sweat and affect their clothing's thermal-wet comfort. This study investigated the dynamics of upper-body sweat distr...

Development of Knitted Compression Covers for Amputated Limbs

Compression therapy can be successfully applied to the treatment of amputated limbs. Compression is known to speed healing and reduce the appearance of complex scars. This is particularly relevant as the number of amputations increases, esp...

Consumer ethnocentrism under the circumstances of the COVID-19 virus pandemic
