A combination of block copolymer (BCP) lithography and solid-phase epitaxy can be employed to form large areas, on the order of square centimeters, of a high density of epitaxial crystalline complex oxide nanostructures.We have used BCP lithography with a poly(styrene-block-methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) copolymer to template a nanohole array eit

High-Si steel is a low cost alternative for the fabrication of tubular structures resistant to atmospheric corrosion.However, the literature has often MODUCARE pointed out that steels presenting a higher Si content and/or a lower Mn/Si ratio have higher susceptibility to defects at the weld bond line during HFIW (High Frequency Induction Welding) p

In this study, a semi-empirical model that was originally developed for stem volume estimation is used for aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation of a spruce dominated alpine forest.The reference AGB of the available sample plots is calculated from forest inventory data by means of biomass expansion factors.Furthermore, the semi-empirical model is ex

Pressure garment therapy is often prescribed to improve scar properties following full-thickness burn injuries.Pressure garment therapy is generally recommended for long periods of time following injury (1-2 years), though it is plagued by extremely low patient compliance.The goal of this study was to examine the effects of early cessation of press

Due to fire protection regulations, a minimum number of fire extinguishers must be available depending on the surface area of each building, industrial establishment or workplace.There is also a set of rules that establish where the fire extinguisher should be placed: always close to the points that are most likely to be affected by a fire and wher
