Substrate functionalization is of great importance in successfully manipulating flows and liquid interfaces in microdevices. Herein, we propose an alternative approach for spatial patterning of wettability in a microcapillary tube. The method combines a photolithography process with self-assembled monolayer formation. The modified microcapillaries show very sharp boundaries between the alternat...

Results: Audiometric evaluation showed a maximal unilateral left conductive hearing loss. High resolution temporal bone CT showed absence of the oval window on the left along with facial and stapes abnormalities. Exploratory tympanotomy showed an aberrant facial nerve, monopodal and abnormally located stapes and absent oval window. Postoperative hearing gain achieved after a neo-oval window and...

A hollow inner electrode covered with a dielectric tube was inserted into an outer and airflow fed through the electrode. The electrodes were then connected to transformer operated at alternating voltage sinusoidal waveform frequency of 20 kHz. resulting discharge is ejected out from 0.7 mm hole in form plasma jet ambient air. attributes discharged evaluated by monitoring current behavior inves...

Abstract The populations of Notopterus notopterus or commonly known as Javan Belida, in some places are rarely found and their have decreased. Domestication is one strategy fisheries resources management related to the rare condition, threatened extinction, even disappearance fish species. also part initiative for developing aquaculture effort this purpose study assess adaptation N. on gonad ma...

Oval is a testing tool which help developers to detect unexpected changes in the behavior of their software. It is able to automatically compile some test programs, to prepare on the fly the needed configuration files, to run the tests within a specified Unix environment, and finally to analyze the output and check expectations. Oval does not provide utility code to help writing the tests, ther...
