A continuous mesostructured silica film with uniaxially aligned hexagonal mesochannels is obtained on a silica glass substrate using a rubbing -treated thin polyimide coating on the substrate. The mesochannels in the film are aligned perpendicular to the rubbing direction. To analyze the mesostructured thin films we used a conventional line-focus x-ray diffraction and a two-dimensional (2-D) X-...

3 p.m.?The eye is already much irritated ; laehymation profuse. Tlio dog keeps rubbing it with his paw, and resting the side of the head against the wall; he is very restless and uneasy; chemosis rapidly increasing. 3-5.?Lying down; rubbing the*eye, which is much cliemosed ; whining and restless. 3-16.?Dog very restless; lies with his head resting against the wall. 3-28.?Eye intensely swollen ;...

A uniform stripe-shaped domain (SSD) structure was obtained in the initial ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) alignment by rubbing the polyimide films doped with silicon naphthalocyanine. Such a surface-stabilized FLC cell exhibits a high contrast ratio and excellent bistability. Atomic force microscope images and pretilt angle measurement results demonstrated that the rubbing-induced polishing...

Liquid-liquid transition (LLT) in single-component liquids is one of the most mysterious phenomena in condensed matter. So far, this problem has attracted attention mainly from the fundamental viewpoint. We report the first experimental study on an impact of surface nanostructuring on LLT by using a surface treatment called rubbing, which is the key technology for the production of liquid cryst...

BACKGROUND Combination therapy is often used to increase the clinical utility of analgesic agents. The coadministration of two compounds may achieve analgesia at doses lower than those required for either compound alone, leading to enhanced pain relief and reduction of adverse effects. Herein, the authors describe the effect of coadministration of morphine and amitriptyline on cutaneous orofaci...

Self-medicative behaviours have been largely documented in vertebrates and, in particular, the use of plants for pharmacological purposes has been mainly reported in primates. White-faced capuchins are known to rub specifically chosen plants and other substances on their fur. To better understand the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon and investigate the influence of different plant resource...

Rolling bearing and squeeze film damper will introduce structural nonlinearity into the dynamic model of aeroengine. Rubbing occur due to clearance reduction design engine. The coupling fault make engine present rich vibration responses. This paper aims analyze nonlinear behavior whole aeroengine including rolling under rubbing fault. Firstly, a turboshaft with support is established; force, oi...

The surface liquidity of a water droplet is eliminated by rubbing hydrophobic particles onto the droplet surface using a sol-gel silica coating with extremely weak binding force, which results in solid-like deformability of a liquid drop.
