Porous metallic copper was successfully prepared by a simple thermal decomposition strategy. A coordination compound of Cu(BTA)2 with the morphology of micro-rod crystal was synthesized as the precursor. The precursor to copper transformation was performed and annealed at 600°C with the shape preserved. The copper micro-rods are assembled from unique thin lamellar layers, each with the thicknes...

Polymer crystallization in manufacturing is a process where quiescent crystallization and flow-induced crystallization coexists, and heat/mass transfer on a macroscopic level interacts with crystal morphology evolution on a microscopic level. Previous numerical studies on polymer crystallization are mostly concentrated at a single scale; they only calculate macroscale parameters, e.g., temperat...

This article highlights the utility of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) for characterisingmicroscale bone morphology. For this purpose we tested selected samplesof the human bones (Wormian bone, rib, lumbar vertebra) to reconstruct externaland internal morphological features. Selected bony samples were investigatedusing a micro-CT scanner (Skyscan 1172, N.V., Aartselaar, Belgium). The image...

The filamentous fungus A. niger is a widely used strain in a broad range of industrial processes from food to pharmaceutical industry. One of the most intriguing and often uncontrollable characteristics of this filamentous organism is its complex morphology. It ranges from dense spherical pellets to viscous mycelia. Various process parameters and ingredients are known to influence fungal morpho...

the effect of dose and regimen of organic acids on micro-flora and morphology of small intestine were studied in a total of 300 male day old broiler chicks using completely randomized design. salkil had no significant effects on the number of villi per view field and percent of convoluted villi. salkil had a significant effect on the number of tongue, ridge shaped (p

Cell behaviour such as adhesion, morphology, proliferation and functional activity are highly influenced by surface properties including hydrophobicity, roughness, texture and morphology. These surface properties may be controlled using a mixture of additive coating techniques to produce glass coatings by sol-gel process and soft lithography on dental ceramics. The purpose of this work was to c...

The aim of the study was to assess the normal and synostosed coronal cranial sutures morphology at an ultrastructural level. Different operative specimens of human coronal sutures were collected. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) slices were obtained and compared with the representative histologic sections. The micro-CT scanning provides a three-dimensi...

in this paper, we have studied the electrical properties of the randomly distributed metallic (co and fe) nano/ micro wires on silicon substrate. deposition was carried out potentiostatically into the pores of the track-etch polycarbonate membrane spin coated onto the si substrate. spin coated films were irradiated with 150mev ni (+11) ions at a fluence of 8e7 ions/cm2, followed by uv irradiati...

Endocarp morphology of 4 species of Iranian Celtis was examined using light and scanning electron microscopes. Macro- and micro-morphological characters were included endocarp shape, color, size, surrounding rim, ornamentation and SEM structure of the outer layer of the endocarp. Endocarp morphology of the examined specimens exhibit variation in all characters. Endocarp shape varies from globul...
