Vibrating lubricant-infused porous surface for enhanced liquid droplet transport
Lubricant-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) demonstrate extreme liquid repellency such that a droplet immiscible with the lubricant can roll off at a very small tilt angle < 5°. There have been many applications in using SLIPS to achieve complex fluids handling, anti-fouling, self-cleaning, …

Liquid-infused slippery surfaces for air-conditioning and refrigeration applications
Liquid-infused surfaces have drawn a lot of attention due to their excellent water repellency. A method is presented for creating a durable liquid-infused surface (LISs) on aluminum surfaces to minimize the water retention and enhance thermal-hydraulic performance for air-conditioning and …

Utilization of abomasally infused ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid in sheep
Fifteen abomasally cannulated, growing wether lambs were used in two metabolism studies to evaluate the utilization of RNA and DNA. Wethers were blocked by weight and breeding and randomly assigned within block to one of five treatments with the restriction that no animal receive the same treatment …

Cannabis-Infused Dreams: A Market at the Crossroads of Criminal and Conventional
Moral legitimacy of market activities is important in determining how commodities are traded and market success (Anteby 2010; Fourcade and Healy 2007; Zelizer 1979). Economic sociologists studying morally contested markets document how market actors actively work to construct new moral meanings of …
