Miniaturized Wet-Wet Differential Pressure Sensor

open access: yes2022 IEEE Sensors, 2022
We report a miniaturized wet-wet differential pressure sensor with applications in pressure and flow sensing in water networks and other harsh environments. The device is similar in concept to a conventional wet-wet differential pressure sensor in that the sensing element is protected from the external environment by oil-filled cavities closed off by ...

A 95 year-old suffering circulatory arrest after accidental hypothermia: a case report

open access: yesBMC Geriatrics, 2017
Background The elderly are vulnerable to cold and prone to accidental hypothermia, both because of environmental and endogenous factors. The incidence of severe accidental hypothermia among the elderly is poorly described, but many cases probably go ...

Biomimetic Approach for the Elaboration of Highly Hydrophobic Surfaces: Study of the Links between Morphology and Wettability

open access: yesBiomimetics, 2021
This investigation of morphology-wetting links was performed using a biomimetic approach. Three natural leaves’ surfaces were studied: two bamboo varieties and Ginkgo Biloba.

Bubble Phenomena and Bubble Properties for Horizontal and Vertical Carbon Anode Surfaces in Cryolite Melt Applying a See-Through Cell

open access: yesMetals, 2021
Gas bubble behavior on a carbon anode in a cryolite melt has been studied using a see-through cell. The phenomena studied have been growth, coalescence, detachment, and wetting during electrolysis.

Bionic superhydrophobic surfaces based on topography of copper oxides

open access: yesBiosurface and Biotribology, 2022
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) exist in many biological organisms endowed by spectacular surface topographies, which provide important insights to drive a paradigm shift in design of engineering surfaces.

Physicochemical Variables Better Explain Changes in Microbial Community Structure and Abundance under Alternate Wetting and Drying Events

open access: yesAgriculture, 2022
Soil microbial communities play an important role in nutrient cycling; however, their response under repeated long-term fertilization has attracted little attention and needs further appraisal.

Can attenuated total internal reflection-Fourier transform infrared be used to understand the interaction between polymers and water? A hyperspectral imaging study

open access: yesJournal of Spectral Imaging, 2017
This study investigates the potential use of attenuated total internal reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR) imaging, a hyperspectral imaging modality, to investigate molecular level trends in the interaction of water with polymeric surfaces ...

Bulk and Surface Low Temperature Phase Transitions in the Mg-Alloy EZ33A

open access: yesMetals, 2020
Low-temperature phase transitions in the EZ33A Mg-cast alloy have been investigated. Based on the structure assessment of the alloy after annealing at 150 °C (1826 h) and at 200 °C (2371 h) a grain boundary wetting transition by a second solid phase was ...

Application of TOF-SIMS Method in the Study of Wetting the Iron (111) Surface with Promoter Oxides

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
In the present work, a simplified model of the Fe(111) surface’s promoter-oxide system was investigated in order to experimentally verify the previously proposed and known models concerning the structure and chemical composition of the surfaces of iron ...

The Greening and Wetting of the Sahel Have Leveled off since about 1999 in Relation to SST

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The Sahel, a semi-arid climatic zone with highly seasonal and erratic rainfall, experienced severe droughts in the 1970s and 1980s. Based on remote sensing vegetation indices since early 1980, a clear greening trend is found, which can be attributed to ...
