Engineered capillary barriers typically consist of two layers of granular materials designed so that the contrast in sediment hydrologic properties and sloping interface retains infiltrating water in the upper layer. We ...

In particle induced desorption-ionization mass spectrometry the strength of an analyte's signal under a given set of bombardment conditions is usually considered to be representative of the analytes relative surface ac ...

In this thesis, we investigated the surface composition and orientation of both pure room-temperature ionic liquids (Ils) and binary mixtures of the ILs of the type consisting of the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ([C[sub ...

Measurable surface parameters which may be related to the response evoked upon contact with biofluids have been suggested to provide direction for characterization, prediction, and ultimate control of biofluid behavior a ...

Ellipsometry was used to study the effects of surface energetics and temperature on the equilibrium adsorptive behavior exhibited by β-lactoglobulin. β-Lactoglobulin isotherms at 25, 37, and 55°C were constructed for ...
