Retention of faculty in academic medicine is a growing challenge. It has been suggested that inattention to the humanistic values of the faculty is contributing to this problem. Professional development should consider faculty members’ search for meaning, purpose, and professional fulfillment and should support the development of an ability to reflect on these issues. Ensuring the alignment of ...

Azobenzene derivatives were deposited onto a Au(111) surface and studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. The symmetry of the parent azobenzene was broken by introducing tert-butyl groups which are known to decouple the molecular core from the substrate, on the one end, and carboxylic acid groups which direct and stabilize the supramolecular assembly structure on the surface by intermolecular ...

The current understanding of droplet generation processes from liquid films is reviewed. Films are defined as liquids with one free and one wall-bound surface. In many of the systems where films occur, atomization is an undesirable side-effect of the two-phase flow. The motivation for this study, however, is a process where atomization from the film is the goal—a gas-centered swirl coaxial rock...
