Comparative Studies of Perianal Structures in Myrmecophilous Aphids (Hemiptera, Aphididae)

open access: yesInsects, 2022
There are three types of relationships between aphids and ants: non-myrmecophilous, obligatory and facultatively myrmecophilous. The degree of involvement in this mutualism is believed to be corelated with morphological adaptations of perianal structures.

Lotus‐Effect and inverse Lotus‐Effect in connection with extremely rough titanium surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesMaterialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik, 2010
Abstract Titanium alloys are frequently surface‐modified by plasma vapor deposition of cp titanium (titanium plasma spraying, TPS; Ti‐PVD surface) for clinical use. Such surfaces are extremely rough with Ra values of 30 μm. Unmodified surfaces of Ti‐PVD display apparent static contact angles of θ
