The Illinois group came up with mathematical models to help predict the mechanical properties of silicon sheets of different shapes and thicknesses, as well as how they interact with water, which can be tuned by chemically treating their surfaces.
The Illinois researchers start by treating the surface of a thin, high-quality silicon wafer and using conventional lithography to etch out a thin, two-dimensional shape.
We suggest a novel approach that efficiently computes the minimum distance between two sphere-swept surfaces by treating each surface as a family of spheres.
First, local surface updating can be performed by treating the surface as a whole, without the need to specially identify the regions with insufficient data, nor to re-measure those regions.
The Bio-Assay Chip is prepared by treating the surface of a glass slide with aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTS) for amino-derivitization and then with bis-sulfo-succinimidyl suberate (BS3) for surface activation.
QPPI (G3) was prepared by treating the surface amine groups of poly(propylene imine) dendrimer with glycidyltrimethyl ammonium chloride and it was characterized with FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR and MALDI-TOF mass spectral techniques.
These results indicate that a compact coating of FAS can be formed, even on the slider surface of a carbon film with few hydroxyl groups, by treating the surface with FAS solution or FASI solution.
In very low rainfall areas, the yield of micro- catchments can be enhanced by treating the surface to increase the run-off and this was demonstrated by Rawitz and Hillel (1975), who found that it was necessary to treat the surface of deep loess sandy loam by compacting and spraying with diluted fuel oil.
AAV4 has transcytosis activity on MDCKI cells and like BAAV its transduction on these cells can be increase by treating the basolateral surface of these cells with TA.
