Non-monotonous crossover between capillary condensation and interface localisation/delocalisation transition in binary polymer blends [PDF]
, 2000 Within self-consistent field theory we study the phase behaviour of a symmetric binary AB polymer blend confined into a thin film. The film surfaces interact with the monomers via short range potentials.

Triggers for Preeclampsia Onset: a Case‐Crossover Study
Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, 2016 AbstractBackgroundRisk factors for preeclampsia are well established, whereas, the triggers associated with timing of preeclampsia onset are not. The aim of this study was to establish whether recent infection or other triggers were associated with timing of preeclampsia onset.MethodsWe used a case‐crossover design with preeclampsia cases serving as ...
