In addition, a functional surface with the obvious anisotropic (the directions of the parallel and perpendicular for the grooves) sliding property revealed for water/oil may be expected to obtain potential applications in droplet-directional transportation, fluidic control, and so on.
Furthermore, parylene-C films with micro/nano hierarchical structures can be functionalized by design: for example, films with groove-shaped patterns show anisotropic wettability, which is very useful for directional droplet transportation.
Japan-based Muratec has developed a cute "omni-directional autonomous transportation robot for public spaces".
When stratified by transport activity, this study's results revealed that the directional agreement of increases in no transportation and any transportation across age groups and analyses reflects an overall increase in calls, but no clear change in the composition of patient transportation needs.
The above processing involved selective, directional, and ultrafast atom transportations and cannot be adequately explained by the existing knock-on mechanism.
A highly ordered and smooth TiO2 nanotube array with a one directional electric channel for electron's transportation was prepared to enhance the photoconversion efficiency and hydrogen evolution rate.
The 1D nanowire is prepared by in-situ etching current collector displaying faster electron transportation and better connection, plusing the directional charge transport properties, which could enable it become one of the most appropriate core of 3D core@shell structure.
The enhanced electrochemical performance could be attributed to the smaller particle sizes as well as well-defined crystals which provide a directional and shorter diffusion path length for Li+ transportation within the crystals.
The objectives of the model are to minimize the total costs and the expected transportation costs after failures of bi-directional facilities of the logistics network.
Dune orientation, being multi-directional, is not consistent with northeast net sand transportation predicted by a drift potential analysis of modern wind data.
