No relationship between the cell surface hydrophobicity of coagulase-negative staphylococci and their ability to adhere onto fluorinated poly(ethylene-propylene) [PDF]
The cell surface hydrophobicity of 14 encapsulated and 21 non-encapsulated coagulase-negative staphylococci (CN staph) as determined with the salt aggregation test (SAT) as well as with the xylene-water method ranged widely.

Strain Dependence of Metal Anode Surface Properties
AbstractDendrite growth poses a significant problem in the design of modern batteries as it can lead to capacity loss and short‐circuiting. Recently, it has been proposed that self‐diffusion barriers might be used as a descriptor for the occurrence of dendrite growth in batteries.

Temperature dependence of surface stress across an order-disorder transition: p(1x2)O/W(110)
Strain relaxations of a p(1x2) ordered oxygen layer on W(110) are measured as a function of temperature across the disordering transition using low-energy electron diffraction. The measured strains approach values of 0.027 in the [1-10] and -0.053 in the

Characteristics of E. coli K12 strains carrying both an F prime and an R factor [PDF]
The interrelationship between an F prime and an F-like or I-like R factor was studied in Escherichia coli K 12 strains carrying both. The donorability of such strains suggested that these plasmids were transferred independently by their own transfer ...
