Climatic and Geomorphic Interactions on Alluvial Fans in the Atacama Desert, Chile
Alluvial fan surfaces in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile preserve evidence of recent, precipitation-driven, surface flows. Determining the hydrologic characteristics of these flows is important for understanding the effects of rare yet significant storms in the region. Flow reconstruction, …

Development of a Multi-Probe Kelvin Scanner Device for Industrially-Relevant Characterization of Surface-Activated Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
… mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance. Surface activation of these materials is usually required during processing to increase the bond strength of assemblies (aerospace and automotive industries) or improve adhesion with implants (biomedical industry). Industrially-relevant, …

Improving Biocompatibility By Controlling Protein Adsorption: Modification And Design Of Biomaterials Using Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Microgels And Microspheres
… the solid/liquid interface between biomaterial surfaces and biological fluids. For blood-contacting devices, biological responses are initially elicited and directed by proteins that adsorb from this multicomponent solution to form thin films on their surfaces. The identity, conformation, and …

Modified oligonucleotides for the functionalisation of nanoscale materials
… assessing the suitability of a nanostructured surface for the detection of hybridisation events by surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS). Thioctic acid was considered a suitable linker group with which to tether oligonucleotides to nanoparticle substrates. As such, routes to the …

Study of chemistry and irradiation effects on nanofluids to be used in light water reactor accident cooling
… conditions. Additionally radiation induced surface activation (RISA) effect on CHF was evaluated for alumina and titania nanoparticle depositions on plate geometries. Pool Boiling experiments were conducted with both wire and plate heaters. Wire test results showed CHF enhancement of 23% to …

Influence of wettability on boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux in vertical flow boiling
… in commercial nuclear reactors may affect the surface wettability of fuel rods through the Radiation Induced Surface Activation (RISA) effect, and present power limits on nuclear reactors may be underestimated. Recent studies have focused on the influence of surface wettability on the departure …

Natural Killer Cell Recruitment and Activation Following Orthopoxviral Infection
… maturation of NK cells leading to incomplete activation following infection. We found that NK cells recruited to the draining LN did not produce IFN-γ or up-regulate surface activation markers. The inhibition of NK cell production of IFN-γ was CPXV specific, multifactorial and …

Wool fabric plasma treatment: resulting properties evaluation and applications in field
… processing with particular emphasis given to the surface of this material. Plasma treatments are classified among nanotechnologies since they interact with the fiber surface only and do not alter the properties of the fiber core. Plasmas can be classified according two major categories: thermal …

Processability of Nickel-Boron Nanolayer Coated Boron Carbide
… the amount of nickel source, the amount of the surface activation agent (PdCl2), the amount of the complexing agent (C2H8N2), and the addition rate of the reducing agent (NaBH4) were studied. When the targeted thickness was 5 nm, a continuous and uniform nanolayer coating was obtained with the …

ROLE OF HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER
… IL-6–driven proliferation, blunting the activation of p38 and Akt signaling pathways. Finally, scRNA-seq analysis of prostates from Ptenpc-/-mice revealed that NK cells exhibited significant enrichment in gene sets involved in lipoprotein and lipid uptake, suggesting a shift toward …

Thermodynamics and kinetics of hydrogen storage in magnesium hydride: a theoretical study of catalyst-dopant, defect, and size effects
… from nanoclusters and semi-infinite stepped surfaces with and without transition-metal “catalyst” dopants (Ti or Fe). The large 450-atom supercell of the (110)x(1 ̅10) single stepped terrace permits the study of the effects of catalytic dopant with 10 unique dopant sites at step edges, kinks …
