Analysis of behavioural rejection of micro-textured surfaces and implications for recruitment by the barnacle Balanus improvisus.
Experiments performed in the field and in the laboratory show that the barnacle, Balanus improvisus, preferentially settles on smooth surfaces. Settlement and recruitment of B. improvisus was evaluated on micro-textured surfaces with scales of surface texture ranging from 1 to 100 µm in profile heights. Surface texture with profile heights within a topographic range of 30-45 µm reduced settleme...
متن کاملExploring Plastron Stability and Fluid Friction Reduction on Robust Micro-Textured Non-Wetting Surfaces
Non-wetting surfaces are characterized by the presence of stable pockets of vapor trapped within the asperities of the surface morphology. The utility of these surfaces in reducing skin friction in viscous laminar and turbulent flows is experimentally and theoretically investigated and is the main focus of this thesis. The development of a surface coating that reduces fluid drag can potentially...
متن کاملWetting of textured surfaces
We discuss quantitatively the wetting of a solid textured by a designed roughness. Both the hydrophilic and the hydrophobic case are described, together with possible implications for the wetting of porous materials. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملInspecting Colour Tonality on Textured Surfaces
We present a multidimensional histogram method to inspect tonality on colour textured surfaces, e.g. ceramic tiles. Comparison in the noise dominated chromatic channels is error prone. We perform vectorordered colour smoothing and generate a PCA-based reconstruction of a query tile based on a reference tile eigenspace. Histograms of local feature vectors are then compared for tonality defect de...
متن کاملNeuronal alignment on asymmetric textured surfaces.
Axonal growth and the formation of synaptic connections are key steps in the development of the nervous system. Here, we present experimental and theoretical results on axonal growth and interconnectivity in order to elucidate some of the basic rules that neuronal cells use for functional connections with one another. We demonstrate that a unidirectional nanotextured surface can bias axonal gro...
