We describe a simple route to fabricate two dimensionally well-ordered, periodic nanopatterns using the self-assembly of brush block copolymers (brush BCPs). Well-developed lamellar microdomains oriented perpendicular to the substrate are achieved, without modification of the underlying substrates, and structures with feature sizes greater than 200 nm are generated due to the reduced degree of ...

Techniques for interactive brushing, as found in multivariate data visualization systems, can be categorized as either screen-space or data-space. Screen-space techniques consider a brush to be a 2dimensional shape (usually a rectangle) which can be used to select points which map to a particular region of the display. Data-space techniques assume the brush has as many dimensions as the data se...

The coordinated control of Ca2+ signaling is essential for development in eukaryotes. Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGC) family members mediate Ca2+ influx from cellular stores in plants (Charpentier et al., 2016; Gao et al., 2016; Frietsch et al., 2007; Urquhart et al., 2007). Here, we report the unusual genetic behavior of a quantitative gain-of-function CNGC mutation (brush) in Lotus jap...

Surface-grafted water-soluble polymer brushes are being intensely investigated for preventing protein adsorption to improve biomedical device function, prevent marine fouling, and enable applications in biosensing and tissue engineering. In this contribution, we present an experimental-theoretical analysis of a peptidomimetic polymer brush system with regard to the critical brush density requir...

In this note we deene a layering intended to structure the many concepts which arise in the development of an Engineering Information System. The industrial beneets to be gained by such a layering are enumerated. An Engineering Information System (EIS) is a collection of facilities and services that provide support for the design, testing, manufacture, and maintenance of engineering artifacts, ...

We review various simplified models that have been advanced to describe layering (complexion) transitions at grain boundaries in multicomponent solids. In particular, we first outline lattice-gas, off-lattice atomistic and thermodynamic models that have been employed to investigate phase-like behavior at segregated grain boundaries. The results of these investigations are summarized in the form...

The classical definition of Steiner symmetrizations functions are defined according to the function level sets and layered representation functions. In this paper, is not only transformed into one-dimensional parabolic functions, but also depends on log-concave To end we prove Steiner’s inequality layering in space

Attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to polymeric nanostructures is a general strategy for sterically shielding and imparting water solubility to hydrophobic payloads. In this report, we describe direct graft-through polymerization of branched, multifunctional macromonomers that possess a PEG domain and a hydrophobic nitroxide domain. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was ...
