the baluarte do cavaleiro is part of the stone masonry wall system existing in the city ofchaves of portugal and it is a construction dated from the xvii century. the baluarte docavaleiro is formed by three walls (north-east, ne; south-east, se; south-west, sw) andby two junction elements (designated here by cunhais). the se wall has suffered twocollapses recently. the main objective of this re...

Nanoporous Gold Films In article number 2300212, Suck Won Hong, Dongyun Lee, and colleagues report a simple process for manufacturing hierarchically-wrinkled nanoporous gold films with reconfigurable architecture in the microstructured array use surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. The SERS-active substrates multilayered overlapping features of numerous nanoscale cracks microsca...

We introduce a manufacturable and scalable method for creating tunable wrinkled ferromagnetic-metallic structures to enhance fluorescence signals. Thin layers of nickel (Ni) and gold (Au) were deposited onto a pre-stressed thermoplastic (shrink wrap film) polymer. Heating briefly forced the metal films to buckle when the thermoplastic retracted, resulting in multi-scale composite 'wrinkles'. Th...

The development of controlled patterning of phage (viruses) could expand opportunities for both fundamental studies and creating various materials platforms. Inducing the elastomeric instability of PDMS film provides a non-lithographic, tuneable, controlled method for generating micro/nanoscale wrinkle patterns. Phage display has emerged as a powerful method for selecting peptides that possess ...

Self-supported conducting polymer films with controlled microarchitectures are highly attractive from fundamental and applied points of view. Here a versatile strategy is demonstrated to fabricate thin free-standing crack-free polyaniline (PANI)-based films with stable wrinkling patterns. It is based on oxidization polymerization of pyrrole inside a pre-wrinkled PANI film, in which the wrinkled...

The "hyaline membrane" (glassy or vitreous membrane), the noncellular layer that invests the entire hair follicle, is visible with the light microscope. During hair growth cycles (5), this membrane undergoes characteristic morphological modifications. Under the light microscope, the hyaline membrane appears thin and inconspicuous around the follicle during anagen and telogen (growing and restin...

High-frequency reversible changes in colony morphology were observed in three strains of Cryptococcus neoformans. For one strain (SB4, serotype A), this process produced three colony types: smooth (S), wrinkled (W), and serrated (C). The frequency of switching between colony types varied for the individual colony transitions and was as high as 10(-3). Mice infected with colony type W died faste...
