Size dependence of mechanical responses of materials in small-volume structures
… scales on mechanical responses of materials in small-volume structures, such as thin films and patterned lines on substrates, is examined. The understanding of stress evolution and deformation behavior of those materials is one of major factors in the fabrication, performance, and reliability of …

Microplastic deformation of polycrystalline silver chloride containing a small volume fraction of hard inclusions
… with 500 ppm copper chloride (CuC1) and 0.01 volume percent of 1 to 5 micron glass spheres and particles. After rolling, recrystallizing and tensile testing, composite samples are exposed to UV light. This "decorates" dislocations in the top 40 microns of a sample with metallic silver so they …

Instrument development for the analysis of low abundance analytes in single cells and small volume samples
… however, the isolation and loading of such small samples into the CE system is challenging. This issue is addressed by designing, constructing, and interfacing a single beam optical trap with a laboratory-built CE system that uses multi-channel LINF detection, which has been optimized for …

Selective Oxidation of Aluminum-Bearing Iii-V Semiconductors: Properties and Applications to Small-Volume Quantum Well Heterostructure Lasers
"The same IILD + oxidation process is used to fabricate a two-dimensional active photonic lattice that is comprised of $\sim$9-$\mu$m microdisk lasers that are arranged in a triangular (hexagonal close-packed) lattice arrangement. The disks are closely spaced (11-$\mu$m center-to-center spacing) …

Small-volume monogenetic igneous landforms and edifices statistics (SMILES) of Earth and Mars: one morphometric framework to classify them all
Small-volume (<1 km3) monogenetic volcanoes are the most abundant volcanic landforms on Earth and Mars. The remote classification of these volcanoes remained limited in scope and number due to methodological limitations. This dissertation develops, validates, and applies a dimensionless …

The effective power output of the Taurus 301 blood warmer when warming small volume units of red cell concentrate described using simulated blood products
… in blood products of high haematocrit (HCT) and small volume. The Taurus 301 performance has been evaluated extensively and the device used for over 30 years. Without any literature available to suggest that the device is overtly harmful it may be concluded that the device design is one that may …
