the relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test
the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
15 صفحه اولWater relations of tetrapod integument.
The vertebrate integument represents an evolutionary compromise between the needs for mechanical protection and those of sensing the environment and regulating the exchange of materials and energy. Fibrous keratins evolved as a means of strengthening the integument while simultaneously providing a structural support for lipids, which comprise the principal barrier to cutaneous water efflux in t...

Biomimetic surfaces with anisotropic sliding wetting by energy-modulation femtosecond laser irradiation for enhanced water collection
Biological rice leaf surfaces show a distinct anisotropic sliding property by means of three-level macrogrooves and micro/nanostructures, and they have many potential applications in biomimetic cell movement control, water transportation, and microfluidic devices. However, fabricating artificial threelevel biosurfaces with a controllable anisotropic sliding property by a simple and effective me...
متن کاملThe Integument of Water-walking Arthropods: Form and Function
We develop a coherent view of the form and function of the integument of water-walking insects and spiders by reviewing biological work on the subject in light of recent advances in surface science. Particular attention is given to understanding the complex nature of the interaction between water-walking arthropods and the air–water surface. We begin with a discussion of the fundamental princip...
