How does users’ freedom of choice, or the lack thereof, affect interface preferences? The research reported in this article approaches this question from two theoretical perspectives. The first of these argues that an interface with a dominant market share benefits from the absence of competition because users acquire skills that are specific to that particular interface, which in turn reduces ...

In the present research, the effect of standoff distance on corrosion properties of the joint of three aluminum–steel explosive layers has been studied. For this purpose, the samples were welded with various standoff distance under constant explosive load. Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy were used to measure the quality of the joint and type of interface. Furthermore, point ...

We present a simple method for the multiplexed formation of droplet interface bilayers (DIBs) using a mechanically operated linear acrylic chamber array. To demonstrate the functionality of the chip design, a lipid membrane permeability assay is performed. We show that multiple, symmetric DIBs can be created and separated using this robust low-cost approach.

purpose: to evaluate histopathological changes induced by 0.02% mitomycin-c (mmc) in rabbits corneas. methods: this study was performed on 48 corneas of 24 rabbits (dutch type, albino). under general anesthesia, lamellar keratectomy was performed and either mmc 0.02 % (mmc group) or balanced salt solution (control group) was applied to the stromal bed for one minute. sixty days later, light mic...
