The 6-nm-thick and 10-nm-thick diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on a hard disk were evaluated for the effective Young's modulus using sensitivity-enhanced atomic force acoustic microscopy.
From the perspective of the safety design, the influences of the start time and the value of the thermal loading Qi on the safety margin of a disk are evaluated respectively.
Vickers microhardness of antagonist disks was evaluated before wear tests.
On the other hand, the gel disks were evaluated in terms of their swelling kinetics and the gels' morphology using SEM.
As a reference, a smooth Pt bulk disk electrode was evaluated under the same environment to clarify the effect of the within-thin-film diffusion, which may occur in the TF-RDE.
The ORR performance of electrochemically pre-treated catalysts was evaluated using rotating disk and ring-disk electrodes in a sulfuric acid solution.
Antimicrobial property of the composite was evaluated by disk diffusion, minimum inhibition concentration (MIC), kinetic, and extended use assays on bacteria (Escherichia coli, Bacillus anthracis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Brucella suis), a fungus (Aspergillus niger), and the Newcastle disease virus.
The antimicrobial effect of the extracts on Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecium and Klebsiella pneumoniae was evaluated using disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) methods.
Methicillin-resistance was evaluated by disk diffusion method, and correlated to the presence of the mecA gene (see below).
The F concentrations (wt%); n = 3 disks for media I, II, III, n = 5 disks for medium IV; SD; same superscripts indicate average values with statistically significant differences (p < 0.001); The effect of NaF immersion on fluoride content at the surface of the glass-ionomer material was evaluated in 36 disks (2 disks of each material from media I, II, and III).
