We employed ovalbumin (a simulant used for ricin and botulism toxins in biodefense applications) and its high affinity polyclonal antibody as a model system to
The form and stability of quantum vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive atomic interactions is elucidated. They appear as ring bright solitons

Friction at the nanoscale has become a significant challenge for microsystems, including MEMS, NEMS and other devices. At nanoscale, lateral loading often
We investigate the influence of geometrical confinement on the breakup of long fluid threads in the absence of imposed flow using a Lattice Boltzmann model. Our
The impact of Polyethyleneimine (PEI), a weak cationic polyelectrolyte, on the kinetics of copper deposition in the presence of additives used for superfill of
Several reference materials and associated reference values have been recommended for the purposes of calibration and/or validation of differential scanning
Intact and aircraft impact-damaged welds from the exterior columns of the World Trade Center towers were evaluated. The fillet welds joining the various steel

Covalent surface modification techniques, in particular surface oxidation procedures, have been employed as a mean to modify polymer microfluidic channels for
This paper is concerned with the mechanisms and rate constants for decomposition of 1-penten-3-yl , 1-penten-4-yl and 1-penten-5-yl radicals. They are formed

The use of SF5+ cluster ions for depth profiling has been successful for polymer-drug mixtures and polymer blends. This study reports results of the surface and
Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) employing an SF5+ polyatomic primary ion source was utilized to analyze several materials commonly used in drug eluting

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) employing an SF5+ polyatomic primary ion source was used to depth profile through various polymeric biomaterials at a
We report on the use of the extended logistic function for fitting Auger-electron (AE) and secondary-electron (SE) linescans. Such fits provide convenient and

The elastic moduli of ultrathin poly(styrene) and poly(methylmethacrylate) films of thickness ranging from 200 nm to 5 nm were investigated using a buckling
We describe a way to obtain biomimetic, hierarchical surface morphologies while maintaining independent control over each generation of the topological
