The wear surfaces, transfer films, wear debris, and microstructures of the hybrid films were analyzed via Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
Hot pavement and rooftop surfaces transfer their excess heat to stormwater, which then drains into storm sewers and raises water temperatures as it is released into streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes.
And our soap-dodging has some unsettling repercussions: one in six UK mobile phones, for instance, is contaminated with faecal bacteria, which can survive for hours on hands and surfaces, transferring to everything we touch.
"One in six UK mobile phones," wrote Laura Barton in Tuesday's G2, "is contaminated with faecal bacteria, which can survive for hours on hands and surfaces, transferring to everything we touch".
At several time points over a 24 hour period pre-moistened swabs were applied to the surfaces, transferred to the anaerobic chamber, and plated directly onto selective agar plates.
Strobel, P., Riedel, M., Ristein, J. & Ley, L. Surface transfer doping of diamond.
Through a technique called "surface transfer doping," charge is transferred from the surface of diamond to another "acceptor" material.
Layers transferred via LB deposition to a functionalized glass substrate show pronounced J-aggregation, depending on the surface transfer pressure.
These include the larger settlement of the soil surface, transfer of a larger pressure onto the pipe and, consequentially, greater pipe wall strain.
This decrease is ascribed to the build-up of adsorbates on the surface along with an increase in the surface conductivity due to surface transfer doping.
where we have defined, with simplified notation, the surface transfer function of interest C 0(s).
