during the era of bush administration and post-september 11th anti-terrorism discourse, the movie 300 was one of the best exemplar of a close relationship between hollywood pop culture products and the neo-conservatives’ political discourse of nationalism. from my point of view, 300 is not an example of outstanding artistic films, but a film that more than any other film contains an iranophobic...

– Thin films of glass-forming liquid crystalline molecules on float glass substrates showed restructuring-induced dewetting in the film thickness range of 40–100 Å upon increasing temperature after spin coating. This dewetting proceeded by the appearance of fluctuations at the free surface caused by restructuring taking place at the interface with the supporting substrate. Films thicker than 10...

A lubrication-flow model for a free film in a corner is presented. The model, written in the hyperbolic coordinate system ξ = x2 − y2, η = 2xy, applies to films that are thin in the η-direction. The lubrication approximation yields two coupled evolution equations for the film thickness and the velocity field which, to lowest order, describes plug flow in the hyperbolic coordinates. A free film ...

The conductance of thin films with diffusive surface scattering was solved semi-classically by Fuchs and Sondheimer. However, when the intrinsic electron mean free path is very large or infinite their conductance diverges. In this letter a simple diffraction picture is presented. It yields a conductance which corresponds to a limiting mean free path of a2kF /(2π) where a is the film thickness. ...

The arithmetic mean roughness, Ra, values were determined by scanning electron microscopic technique of different core models (furazolidone, nitrofurantoin and acetyl salicylic acid), coated by HPMC film forming solution containing 10 wt% of various molecular weight PEGs. The results showed that both plasticizer molecular weight and core surface free energy could have a significant influence on...

Polymeric composite films with a high loading of nano-size silicates can hardly meet the increasingly stringent fireproof and smoke-free requirements during burning. Thus, it is desirable to prepare pure clay films that can block air, heat, and flame. Here we report an organic-free clay film capable of both flame- and heat-shielding. The film was prepared from the self-assembly of nanometer-thi...
