Quantum size effect in Pb(100) films: the role of symmetry and implication for film growth [PDF]
Phys. Rev B. 74, 113401 (2006), 2005 We show from density-functional calculations that Pb(100) thin films exhibit quantum size effect with a bilayer periodicity in film energies, film relaxations, and work functions, which originate from different symmetry of the stacking geometry of odd and even layer films.

Buccal films: A review of therapy possibilities, treatment plans and appropriate evaluation techniques [PDF]
, 2022 Due to apparent greater patient acceptance compared to buccal tablets and enormous therapeutic opportunities compared to traditional oral drug delivery methods, particularly for those who suffer from dysphagia, the potential of the mucoadhesive film ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

High-speed in vitro intensity diffraction tomography [PDF]
, 2019 We demonstrate a label-free, scan-free {\it intensity} diffraction tomography technique utilizing annular illumination (aIDT) to rapidly characterize large-volume 3D refractive index distributions in vitro. By optimally matching the illumination geometry to the microscope pupil, our technique reduces the data requirement by 60$\times$ to achieve high ...

SSR-PR: Single-shot Super-Resolution Phase Retrieval based two prior calibration tests [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We propose a novel approach and algorithm based on two preliminary tests of the optical system elements to enhance the super-resolved complex-valued imaging. The approach is developed for inverse phase imaging in a single-shot lensless optical setup. Imaging is based on wavefront modulation by a single binary phase mask.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

Particle size reduction to the nanometer range: a promising approach to improve buccal absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs [PDF]
, 2011 Poorly water-soluble drugs, such as phenylephrine, offer challenging problems for buccal drug delivery. In order to overcome these problems, particle size reduction (to the nanometer range) and cyclodextrin complexation were investigated for permeability
