Flexible conformable hydrophobized surfaces for turbulent flow drag reduction [PDF]
, 2015 In recent years extensive work has been focused onto using superhydrophobic surfaces for drag reduction applications. Superhydrophobic surfaces retain a gas layer, called a plastron, when submerged underwater in the Cassie-Baxter state with water in ...

Resistance to flooding of different species of terrestrial oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida)
Soil Organisms, 2018 Resistance to flooding was tested in six terrestrial oribatid mite species with different ecological needs. The silvicolous Galumna lanceata and Oppiella (Oppiella) marginedentata showed low average survival times of seven and 14 days, the moss-dwelling ...

Scutation asymmetries in red-footed tortoise Chelonoidis carbonaria Spix, 1824 (Testudines: Testudinidae) [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2020 The ability of an individual to withstand random perturbations during its development is considered a good indicator of environmental and genetic stress. A common means of assessing developmental stability is through analysis of fluctuating asymmetry (FA)

Complete electrolytic plastron recovery in a low drag superhydrophobic surface
, 2021 We present a superhydrophobic surface capable of recovering the lubricious gas layer known as the "plastron"from a fully wetted state underwater. It is shown that full plastron recovery is possible without a second layer of structural hierarchy, which is

Would Phrynops geoffroanus’ plastron formula and morphological diversity be preserved under anthropic conditions? [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyPhrynops geoffroanus has a wide distribution in South America, living in aquatic environments such as rivers, streams, and lakes, in natural and urban environments. In this work, the plastron formula and the diversity index associated with the allometric

Plastron induced drag reduction and increased slip on a superhydrophobic sphere [PDF]
, 2011 On low contact angle hysteresis superhydrophobic surfaces, droplets of water roll easily. It is intuitively appealing, but less obvious, that when such material is immersed in water, the liquid will flow more easily across its surface.
