My Bolivian homestay mother is what would commonly be referred to as a "cholita". Generally speaking, this means that she wears poofy long skirts with brightly colored patterns, a thin, long sleeved sweater no matter how hot it is outside, and that her hair is done into two long black braids that reach below her waist.
The researchers found that by creating a specific pattern of microscopic spheres of glass within a precisely designed photonic crystal, and then applying this pattern in a thin layer at the back of a solar cell, they could redirect unabsorbed photons back into the silicon.
Each eyelash was assembled from 464 inch-long strands of human hair, delicately placed in a crisscross pattern on a thin strip of transparent glue.
Prof Makris found that fish sometimes gather in an hourglass pattern, with a thin bridge connecting the two ends, which he said could be a means of communication.
To visualize what this means, imagine drawing a sketch of a baby's hair pattern on a thin sheet of Spandex.
The use of core-annular flow pattern, where a thin fluid surrounds a very viscous one, has been suggested as an attractive artificial lifting method for heavy oils in the current Brazilian ultra-deep water production scenario.
With over a million micron-sized channels per square centimeter arranged in a regular pattern on a thin film, monolith filters have significant potential for submicron aerosol particle filtration, even though the filtration process with this class of filters has not been well studied.
The use of core-annular flow pattern, where a thin fluid surrounds a viscous one, may be attractive to heavy oil transportation and as an artificial lifting method in heavy oil wells, a situation that can become frequent in the Brazilian offshore scenario.
Humeri of adult Upper Muschelkalk N. giganteus and N. mirabilis show an exceptional histological pattern: a very thin cortex (MI around 70%) and a much enlarged medullary region.
You can paint these patterns using a thin, soft, artist's paintbrush and normal face paint (the kind you see at a fun fair; you can get this from makeup stores, normal supermarkets, or even online).
