Thermal transport across atomic - layer material interfaces
Emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials with atomic-layer structures, such as graphene and MoS 2 , which have excellent physical properties, provides the opportunity of substituting silicon-based micro/nanoelectronics. An important issue before large-scale applications is the heat dissipation performance of these materials, especially when they are supported on a substrate, as in most scena...
متن کاملBronchial Mucus Transport
Effective clearance of inhaled particles requires mucus production and continuous mucus transport from the lower airways to the oropharynx. Mucus production takes place mainly in the peripheral airways. Mucus transport is achieved by the action of the ciliated cells that cover the inner surface of the airways (mucociliary transport) and by expiratory airflow. The capacity for mucociliary transp...
متن کاملConfinement-enhanced electron transport across a metal-semiconductor interface.
We present a combined scanning tunneling microscopy and ballistic electron emission microscopy study of electron transport across an epitaxial Pb/Si(111) interface. Experiments with a self-assembled Pb nanoscale wedge reveal the phenomenon of confinement-enhanced interfacial transport: a proportional increase of the electron injection rate into the semiconductor with the frequency of electron o...
متن کاملMucus transport and physiotherapy--a new series.
Mucociliary clearance is a physical defence mechanism which protects the lungs from damage caused by inhaled or endogenous particles within the airways. Many factors contribute to altered mucociliary clearance, including pollution, age, posture, mobility, exercise and disease. A number of diseases of the chest are characterized by increased mucus production, including chronic bronchitis, bronch...
متن کاملPhysiotherapy and bronchial mucus transport.
Cough and expectoration of mucus are the best-known symptoms in patients with pulmonary disease. The most applied intervention for these symptoms is the use of chest physiotherapy to increase bronchial mucus transport and reduce retention of mucus in the airways. Chest physiotherapy interventions can be evaluated using different outcome variables, such as bronchial mucus transport measurement, ...
