Abstract As silver nanowires (Ag NWs) are usually manufactured by chemical synthesis, a patterning process is needed to use them as functional devices.Pulsed laser ablation is a promising Ag NW Alaska patterning process because it is a simple and inexpensive procedure.However, this process has a disadvantage in that target materials are wasted owin
The aim of the paper was to discuss different effects, such as, among others, agglomeration of selected nanoparticles, particularly those from zirconia, on the tribological behavior of lubricants.The explanation of the difference between the concepts of ‘aggregation’ and ‘agglomeration’ for ZrO2 nanoparticles is included.The
Staphylococcus aureus, a notorious human pathogen, is a major cause of the community as well as healthcare associated infections.It can cause a diversity of recalcitrant infections mainly due to the acquisition of resistance to multiple drugs, its diverse range of virulence factors, and the ability to produce biofilm in indwelling medical devices.S
Palm oil is nowadays the first vegetable oil consumed worldwide.Given the world population growth and the increasing demand in fat for food and fuel, the increase in oil palm production is expected to continue.It is thus important to find ways of reducing the ecological impact of oil palm plantations at both the agroecosystem and the mill supply ar
Mankind and the animal kingdom enjoyed a close and interwoven relationship ever since they appeared on earth.This camaraderie found its reflection in language too.That is why the words that name animals have a lot more in their undertones along with the explicit meanings.This article is an endeavor to peep into the world beyond the zoonyms Fensterr
