Droplet impact onto a solid surface is modeled and numerically simulated using an ALE formulation of the Navier-Stokes free surface equations. The triple line dynamics aspect is modeled implicitely through the Shikhmurzaev theory. Those equations involve a generalized Navier slip boundary conditions with the variation of the surface tension near the triple line (thus a local Marangoni effect). ...

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone repair process at the bone/implant interface of osteoporotic rats treated with sodium alendronate through the analysis of microtomography, real time polymerase chain reactions and immunohistochemistry (RUNX2 protein, bone sialoprotein (BSP), alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin and osteocalcin). Material and Methods A total of 42 rats were...

The evaluation of a plasma-based atomic layer etching (ALE) approach for native oxide surface removal from Si substrates is described. Objectives include removal of the native oxide while minimizing substrate damage, surface residues and substrate loss. Oxide thicknesses were measured using in situ ellipsometry and surface chemistry was analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The cyclic A...
