Towards Optimization of Patterned Superhydrophobic Surfaces

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Bharat Bhushan, Michael Nosonovsky, Yong C. Jung
Experimental and theoretical study of wetting properties of patterned Si surfaces with cylindrical flat-top pillars of various sizes and pitch distances is presented. The values of the contact angle (CA), contact angle hysteresis (CAH) and tilt angle (TA)

Tribological Performance of Head-Disk Interface Due to Nanoasperity Impacts

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Tze J. Chuang, Stephen M. Hsu
During the track accessing mode ofa hard disk drive, theflying height of the slider over thedisk surface becomes smaller and smaller as the demand in data storage density increases. As aresult, the propensity of glide avalanche is bound to increase when

Understanding Deviations in Lithographic Patterns Near Interfaces: Characterization of Antireflective Coatings (ARC) and the ARC/Resist Interface

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Joseph~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Lenhart, Daniel A. Fischer, S Sambasivan, Eric K. Lin, Wen-Li Wu, Douglas Guerrero, Yijun Wang, R Puligadda
Interactions between a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) and a photo-resist can critically impact lithographic patterns. For example, a lithographic pattern can shrink or spread near a BARC interface, a process called undercutting or footing

Viscous Flow Creep in Ceramics Containing Secondary Crystalline Phases

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Q Jin, D S. Wilkinson, G C. Weatherly, William E. Luecke, Sheldon M. Wiederhorn
Experimental observations of the creep response of a Y 20 3-fluxed Si 3N 4 containing secondary crystalline phases(SP)are presented.The widths of grain-boundary amorphous films before and after creep have been characterized by using transmission electron

Volumetric and Size Characterization of Void Morphologies in Thermally Sprayed Metallic Deposits Using Scattering Techniques

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
T Keller, W. Wagner, J Ilavsky, Andrew J. Allen, N Margadant, S Siegmann, J Pisacka, G Barbezat, R Enzl
The complex void microstructure of thermally sprayed deposits may be approximated by three major void syste(interlamellar pores, intralamellar cracks, and volumetric globular voids), each with different volume fractions,anisotropies, sizes and shapes. This

Wear Analysis of UHMWPE Using a Load Sum Method

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
M C. Shen, Stephen M. Hsu, John A. Tesk, A Christou
An accelerated wear test pro-cedure has been developed for wear screening of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) using a new wear tester. Results showed that the test procedure was able to discriminate known wear level samples within seven

Site-Specific Glycan-Conjugated NISTmAb Antibody Drug Conjugate Standards

July 6, 2021
Author(s)
Brian Agnew, Shanhua Lin, Robert Aggeler, John E. Schiel, Trina Mouchahoir
Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a rapidly growing modality for the treatment of numerous oncology indications. The complexity of analytical characterization method development is increased due to the potential for synthetic intermediates and

Comprehensive Analysis of Tryptic Peptides Arising from Disulfide Linkages in NISTmAb and Their Use for Developing a Mass Spectral Library

June 22, 2021
Author(s)
Qian Dong, Xinjian Yan, Yuxue Liang, Sanford Markey, Sergey L. Sheetlin, Concepcion Remoroza, William E. Wallace, Stephen Stein
This work presents methods for identifying and then creating a mass spectral library for disulfide-linked peptides originating from the NISTmAb. Analysis involved both partially- reduced and non-reduced proteins under neutral and weakly basic conditions

Field-induced dehydration and optimal ionic escape paths for C2N membranes

June 11, 2021
Author(s)
Miroslav Barabash, William Gibby, Dmitry Luchinsky, Binquan Luan, Alexander Smolyanitsky, Peter McClintock
Most analytic theories describing electrostatically driven ion transport through water-filled nanopores assume that the corresponding permeation barriers are bias-independent. While this assumption may hold for sufficiently wide pores under infinitely

Fabrication of 3D Printed Hydroxyapatite Composite Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration

May 19, 2021
Author(s)
Yoontae Kim, Eun-Jin Lee, Albert Davydov, Stanislav Frakhtbeyen, Jonathan Seppala, Laurence Chow, Tagaki Shozo, Stella Alimperti
Additive biomanufacturing has been adapted in a wide variety of biomedical and tissue engineering applications, including orthopedics. The ability to print biocompatible, patient-specific geometries with controlled porosity, mechanical strength has made

Characterization of extracellular vesicles and artificial nanoparticles with four orthogonal single-particle analysis platforms

April 6, 2021
Author(s)
Emily Mallick, Tanina Arab, Yiyao Huang, Liang Dong, Zhaohao Liao, Zezhou Zhao, Barbara Smith, Norman J. Haughey, Kenneth Pienta, Barbara Slusher, Patrick Tarwater, Juan Pablo Tosar, Angela M. Zivkovic, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Michael E. Paulaitis, Kenneth W. Witwer
We compared four orthogonal technologies for sizing, counting, and phenotyping of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and synthetic particles. The platforms were: single-particle interferometric reflectance imaging sensing (SP-IRIS) with fluorescence

Biobanking in the COVID-19 Era and Beyond: Part 2. A Set of Tool Implementation Case Studies

March 26, 2021
Author(s)
Clare M. Allocca, Emma Snapes, Monique Albert, Marianna J. Bledsoe, Marta Castelhano, Mieke DeWilde, Koh Furuta, Zisis Kozlakidis, Dunja Martin, Anabela Martins, Shannon McCall, Brent Schacter
The COVID-19 era has brought about a number of novel challenges for the global biobanking community. An array of diverse tools exists to support quality and fitness-for-purpose in biobank operations. The International Society for Biological and

Conformational gating, dynamics and allostery in human monoacylglycerol lipase

October 28, 2020
Author(s)
Sergiy Tyukhtenko, Girija Rajarshi, Ioannis Karageorgos, Nikolai Zvonok, Kiran Vemuri, Jeffrey W. Hudgens, Xiaoyu Ma, Mahmoud L. Nasr, Alexandros Makriyannis, Kyle Anderson, Jason J. Guo, Gerhard Wagner
Inhibition of human Monoacylglycerol Lipase (hMGL) offers a novel approach for treating neurological diseases. The design of inhibitors, targeting active-inactive conformational transitions of the enzyme, can be aided by understanding the interplay between
