Quantitative evaluation of thin film adhesion using the probe test
In this study, a test technique, referred to as the probe test, has been developed as a quantitative tool for measuring the adhesion in thin adhesive films and coatings. The technique was initially developed as a qualitative test by the Hewlett-Packard Company for measuring adhesion of thin film …

The Accuracy and precision of ORP monitoring in bio-nutrient removal processes
… First, the reliability and sensitivity of ten probes were tested and evaluated. Next, ORP values in complete denitrification conditions from biological systems with different initial NO concentrations and denitrification rates were collected and the usefulness ofthese redox values was assessed. …

Phylogenetic Analysis of the Mycobacteria and Diagnosis of Paratuberculosis by 16SrRNA Amplification and Probing
… of group- and species-specific oligonucleotide probes and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers for the detection and identification of mycobacteria. To increase sensitivity of detection of mycobacteria in natural samples, five sets of rRNA-targeted PCR primers were designed to amplify various …

Finite Element Analysis of Probe Induced Delamination of a Thin Film at an Edge Interface
… geometry is of interest because it simulates a probe test that has proven to be useful in characterizing the adhesion of thin, microelectronic coatings bonded to silicon wafers. Preliminary experimental results indicate that out-of-plane rather than in-plane loading dominates failure in the …

Prebiotic supplementation with inulin and exercise influence gut microbiome composition and metabolic health
… influences on gut microbiome composition, intestinal permeability, insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility. Sedentary to recreationally active overweight and obese adults 40-75 years old at-risk for T2D were recruited (n=22) and randomized to either supplementation with inulin, a …

Behaviorally-Induced Structural Remodeling of the Hippocampus
… after completion of spatial learning task, a probe test was completed. The delayed period was to allow for mossy fiber sprouting. The brain was then to extracted and sectioned at 30μm then stained with Timm’s staining. Timm’s stain allows visualization of metal such as zinc in newly formed …

Improvement in Adhesion for the Epoxy-SiC System via Plasma and Silane Surface Modification Techniques
… debonding, and quantitatively evaluated using a probe test to evaluate the critical strain energy release rate G<sub>c</sub>. Additionally, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) surface characterization was carried out following the surface treatments and again after complete failure in the …

Durability and Adhesion of a Model Epoxy Adhesive Bonded to Modified Silicon Substrates
… in a stronger SCA-Si attachment. Three different tests were employed to determine adhesion and durability of the model epoxy/SCA/SiO2/Si bonded specimens. The immersion test qualitatively evaluates the bond durability for various systems exposed to different chemical and thermal conditions. …

Skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations in response to an acute high fat diet
… was assessed via intravenous glucose tolerance test; and intestinal permeability was assessed via the four-sugar probe test before and after the HFD. Postprandial glucose oxidation and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle increased before the HFD intervention but was decreased after. Skeletal …
