Film induced tourism or film is a result of destination image formation and development through industry with collaboration other stakeholders (policy makers, private public investors, scholars etc.). This postmodern phenomenon links driven emotions to the filming locations at same time responsible for positive negative formation. In Lithuanian academic discourses this theory, as well impact fi...

Cyclic voltammetry has been applied for the characterization of cross-linked horse heart cytochrome c (HHC) on cysteamine-modified gold electrodes. The cross-linking, i.e. amide bond formation, between the proteins was achieved by using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) as coupling reagent. The optimal conditions for the formation of the HHC film were determined by varying th...

1 Introduction Diffusion-controlled growth of metal nanostructures and thin films on metallic and insulating substrates is important from both theoretical and practical points of view, including many technological applications, such as catalysis and microelectronics. Theory is challenged to describe two modes of thin film growth: monolayer-by-monolayer regime or 3D metal cluster formation [1]. ...

Article history: Received 9 August 2016 Received in revised form 8 November 2016 Accepted 20 November 2016 Available online xxxx Atomistic simulations are used to study segregation-induced intergranular film formation in Cu\\Zr and Cu\\Nb alloys. While Cu\\Zr forms structurally disordered or amorphous films, ordered films comprised of a second phase usually precipitate in Cu\\Nb, with a critica...

The unique photophysical properties of the Ln(III) series has led to significant research efforts being directed towards their application in sensors. However, for "real-life" applications, these sensors should ideally be immobilised onto surfaces without loss of function. The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique offers a promising method in which to achieve such immobilisation. This mini-review fo...

The formation of lithium dendrites induces the notorious safety issue and poor cycling life of energy storage devices, such as lithium-sulfur and lithium-air batteries. We propose a surface energy model to describe the complex interface between the lithium anode and electrolyte. A universal strategy of hindering formation of lithium dendrites via tuning surface energy of the relevant thin film ...
