Enhanced water repellency is attributed to the fact that the higher density of TiO2 spheres results in more tortuous three-phase contact line, leading to the self-cleaning effect.
The results can be attributed to the fact that the higher density of silica coating results in more tortuous three-phase contact line, thus facilitating the self-cleaning effect.
The diffusion paths in the ferrite phase were tortuous, hence they were longer than the membrane thickness L. The diffusion paths Lα had different lengths in relatively thin membranes (L<0.5 mm), but they had the same length in a relatively thick membrane (L=1 mm).
The relative permeability data, and the complex and tortuous flow channels suggest the presence of phase interference and phase trapping as is observed with two-phase flow in porous media.
In this case, the dispersed phase distorted by the tortuous membrane pores was spontaneously transformed into spherical droplets by interfacial tension.
However, in the late proliferation and migration phase, an intricate network of tortuous structures of HPCs expressing CK19, as well as Dlk1 and Afp proteins, originates from the canals of Hering and expands into the hepatic parenchyma.
The Incredible Mr Limpet remake meanwhile, already one of the more tortuous Hollywood projects of recent years, enters another phase of delays.
Furthermore, cut-able TCP phases and γ′ phase leads to the formation of serrated and tortuous fracture surface, resulting in remarkable closure effect.
However, it is difficult to select the proper velocity encoding gradient [ 6], and tortuous venous anatomy and low flow limit the use of phase contrast MRI in potential kidney donors [ 56].
The arterial phase images are expected to reveal the presence of tortuous small arteries with thin ramifications and in some cases the early filling of the IVC too.
