It was Frank O'Connor who noted the peculiar affinity of the short story for what he called "submerged populations": marginal, isolated figures such as Chekhov's clerks, Maupassant's prostitutes or Sherwood Anderson's provincial schoolteachers, eking out thin existences at the edges of society.
This can be understood because even for the epitaxial thin film, the existence of structural defect such as grain boundaries is evitable, which will result in an internal electric field and then widen the bandgap compared to single crystals.
Probably the thinnest cellphone in existence, you'll love the big screen for viewing the pictures you take with its 3.0-megapixel camera.
The Wells Gray volcanics were thought to have formed by crustal thinning and the existence of crustal penetrating structures.
Baker reconstructs Savage's evolution from rebellious Southern belle to ethereal, bhang-dazed, erudite and enigmatic itinerant, but ultimately has to let her slip away into the thin air of an existence that continued on an increasingly elusive course.
The microscopic analyses reveal the existence of thin coating of nitrogen-doped amorphous carbon on the surface of Co3V2O8 nanostructures.
With appropriately implemented error control, the existence of thin coatings with zero reflectivity at a specified frequency is actually proved.
The channels in sintered scaffold shown in SEM (scanning electron microscopy) micrographs have directional connection, equal distribution, intact configuration and existence of thin stripes on inner walls.
The nitrided layer of austenitic stainless steel is typically extremely thin due to the existence of a passive film at the surface.
We suggest that the acquired pattern in these areas can be explained by the existence of thin sediments combined with effects related to the complex geometry of the topographic relief.
