Micro- vs. macro-phase separation in binary blends of poly(styrene)-poly(isoprene) and poly(isoprene)-poly(ethylene oxide) diblock copolymers [PDF]
In this paper we present an experimentally determined phase diagram of binary blends of the diblock copolymers poly(styrene)-poly(isoprene) and poly(isoprene)-poly(ethylene oxide). At high temperatures, the blends form an isotropic mixture. Upon lowering

The Effect of Polystyrene on the Crystallization of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [PDF]
Mechanical properties, morphology and nonisothermal crystallization of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and blends of PHB and polystyrene (PS) were studied by tensile tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Blended E85-diesel fuel droplet heating and evaporation [PDF]
The multidimensional quasi-discrete (MDQD) model is applied to the analysis of heating and evaporation of mixtures of E85 (85 vol % ethanol and 15 vol % gasoline) with diesel fuel, commonly known as “E85–diesel” blends, using the universal quasi-chemical

PEMBELAJARAN BLENDED (BLENDED LEARNING)
Blended Learning is a creative educational method that integrates the benefits of face-to-face instruction with the convenience of digital technology through online learning. This approach emerged as an alternative to improve the efficiency of the learning process, provide students with easier access to materials, and adapt to each individual's ...

Blended learning spaces: Synchronous blending
Discussions of blended learning (BL) have generally failed to account for the synchronous combination of computer-mediated and face-to-face interactions that can occur within a blended learning space (BLS). is paper provides an overview of BLS use by a department of teachers at a Japanese university specializing in foreign language learning.

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).
