In contrast, in nature, silica architectures with delicate morphologies are generated under ambient conditions [5].
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) showed a delicate change in the morphology and a clear increase in nucleation resulting from the modification and cleaning effect of the SiNx:H surface by H2 plasma exposure.
However, practical applications are facing a trade-off between synthesis difficulties and the sensing performance, since synthesis of complex morphologies often needs delicate controls over the reaction conditions and usually results in a low reproducibility [10 12].
Mitochondrial mass and morphology results from a delicate balance of several interrelated processes, fission/fusion and biogenesis/mitophagy, and modifying each of these processes may have a role in the treatment of different mitochondrial disorders (reviewed by Andreux et al., 2013; Stetler et al., 2013).
The morphology of the AgNR array, delicate to the substrate temperature even in the low temperature region, and the critical temperature ~90 °C for the formation of the AgNR array seem to originate from the large diffusion effect of the Ag adatom.
However, addition of a few percent N,N-dimethyl formamide resulted in agglomeration of the dispersed montmorillonite layers and an overall mixed morphology, demonstrating solvent partitioning and the delicate enthalpic balance necessary to maintain layer dispersion.
The epithelial compartment of the gut encompasses a high cell turnover and the preservation of normal morphology and function relies on a delicate balance between cell proliferation and death.
Like strain W3110, the outbreak O104:H4 strain produced a ring-like macrocolony pattern, whereas the EAEC strains 55989 and HUSEC041 generated delicate network-like structures (Fig 4A; for colony morphology at different temperatures and also in the presence of salt, see Supplementary Fig S4).
Advantages include the absence of organic solvents, the ability to incorporate delicate biologicals without loss of activity, and control over the morphology of an internal porous architecture.
Previous studies have demonstrated geographic variation in morphology, reproductive ecology and life history in the delicate skink [ 91, 92].
