If a thermal treatment at a fixed temperature of 110°C for 15 min is now applied, only the exposed steps are selectively transformed into a linear slope.
Applying a reflow temperature of 110°C, exposed steps are then selectively transformed into a continuous slope while other topographies are unaltered (c-d).
This way, the thermo-mechanical properties of the polymer are locally adjusted, allowing an optimized transformation of the exposed stepped contours into smooth slopes, if the polymer is subsequently heated to an appropriate temperature (step 4: selective equilibration).
In the ideal case, flow only occurs between neighboring exposed steps (i.e. in "near field"), which can be accomplished when using proper reflow conditions and thus maintain a sufficient material viscosity.
A subsequent and locally confined flood-exposure of 500 μC cm-2 further reduces (and eventually homogenizes) the Mn range within the exposed steps below 5 kg mol-1, which results in a reduced Tg < 90°C.
Stable resistance for antiseptics and antibiotics could be obtained for MDRAB when they are exposed step-wise with gradually increasing concentrations of QAC's as seen in Pseudomonas aeuroginosa and Eschericia coli [ 34, 12].
A stone slab was removed exposing steps leading to a crypt under the chancel.
The hike demands good weather and hiking experience, as it's remote and often exposed, but step for careful step, it's one of the most scenic trails in the country.
It doesn't matter what you use, as long as the interior is exposed; this step isn't essential, but the end result will be more obvious.
In addition, some hoppers exposed visual step-like faces, i.e., a family of {100} facets.
The following Fig. 4 exposed the steps of constructing W-Hotelling profile for linear target profile.
