All solids, including teflon, are hydrophilic (to some extent), but some have roughness induced hydrophobic tendencies.
It has recently been argued on the basis of four experiments that Teflon can often be regarded as hydrophilic when considering the interaction between liquid water and the solid surface of Teflon [Gao and McCarthy, Langmuir 2008, 24, 9183-9188]. The authors also recommend that more recognition be given to "hydrophilic" and "hydrophobic" as qualitative adjectives and discuss the importance of ad...
متن کاملNot all lactic acid bacteria are probiotics, ...but some are.
The WHO defines probiotics as: ‘live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host’, a definition which implies that a beneficial health effect must be demonstrated in human subjects. In October 2009, the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) issued scientific opinions concerning more than 500 health claim applications; all those concerning probiot...
متن کاملEssentially all models are wrong, but some are useful.
Recent advances in high-throughput technologies, such as genome-wide SNP analysis and microarray gene expression profiling, have led to a multitude of ranked lists, where the features (SNPs, genes) are sorted based on their individual correlation with a phenotype. Multiple reviews have shown that most such rankings vary considerably across different studies, even in the case of subsampling from...
متن کاملSome (but not all) unattested determiners are unlearnable
A striking cross-linguistic generalisation about the semantics of determiners is that they never express nonconservative relations. To account for this one might hypothesise that the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition are not compatible with nonconservative determiner meanings. We stress that the crosslinguistic generalisation alone should not be taken as decisive evidence for thi...
متن کاملSome People Have All the Luck
It is unusual to win a lottery prize worth $600 or more. No one we know has. But ten people have each won more than 80 such prizes in the Florida Lottery. This seems fishy. Someone might get lucky and win the Mega Millions jackpot (a 1-in-259 million chance) having bought just one ticket. But it’s implausible that a gambler would win many unlikely prizes without having bet very many times. How ...
