Bedforms related to supercritical flows are increasingly recognised as important constituents of many depositional environments, but outcrop studies are commonly hampered by long bedform wavelengths and complex three-dimensional ...

The skins of most fruitcrop species are subject to marked strain due to the continuing expansion of the fruit surface throughout the long developmental period. A mechanical failure of the cuticle during fruit expansion ...

We characterize the surface passivation properties of ultrathin titanium oxide (TiOx) films deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on crystalline silicon by means of carrier lifetime measurements. We compare different ...

The present contribution is addressed to an improved method to fabricate dielectric dispersive compensating mirrors (CMs) with an increased laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) by the use of ternary composite layers. ...

Well-ordered 3D mesoporous indium tin oxide (ITO) films obtained by a templated sol-gel route are discussed as conductive porous current collectors. This paper explores the use of such films modified by electrochemical ...

Multilayered films of TiO2 with ordered cubic mesoporosity were grown via layer-by-layer deposition on a conductive FTO (F-doped SnO 2) substrate by dip-coating and subsequent calcination at 400°C. Since platinum nanoparticles ...

Fibrogenic processes instigate fatal chronic diseases leading to organ failure and death. Underlying biological processes involve induced massive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) by aberrant fibroblasts. We subjected ...

The low-temperature fabrication of flexible ZnO photo-anodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by templated electrochemical deposition of films was performed in an enlarged and technical simplified deposition setup ...

Cloud computing is a paradigm in which information is permanently stored in servers on the Internet and cached temporarily on clients. Virtual private network (VPN) is the most widely used technology for secure cloud access. ...
