The aim of this article is the measurement of the basic characteristic of superhydrophobic surfaces using high speed shadowgraphy. Here we describe the novel patented system for the industrial production of superhydrophobic surfaces. These surfaces were investigated with two optically based measurement methods: impinging drop and inclined wall. The results of the visualization and analysis help...

In this study, the dynamics and control aspects of a spherical robot rolling without slipping on an inclined plane are investigated. The planar dynamic model of the robot rolling ahead on an inclined plane is derived using Lagrangian dynamics. Based on the equivalent control method and Lyapunov stability theorem, a decoupled sliding mode control approach is presented for stable control of the p...

Excessive gingival visibility during smile is a common esthetic complaint in dentistry, but excessive gingival visibility in resting lip position is relatively uncommon condition. Several exclusive radical to conservative surgical treatment or its combination with orthodontic therapy to treat this condition are within the reach of every patient nowadays. A case report of an excessive gingival v...

Recent empirical research conducted by Joshua Knobe has uncovered two asymmetries in our judgments about intentional action and moral responsibility. First, people are more inclined to say that a side effect was brought about intentionally when they regard that side effect as bad than when they regard it as good. Second, people are more inclined to ascribe blame to someone for bad effects than ...

Neutrinos of astrophysical origin could be detected through the electromagnetic radiation particle showers induced in atmosphere by their interaction Earth. This applies particular for tau neutrinos energies $E>10^{16}$eV following Earth-skimming trajectories. The $\sim1^{\circ}$ beaming radio emission forward direction however implies that signal will likely fly above a detector deployed over ...

We present a new class of sequential adsorption models in which the adsorbing particles reach the surface following an inclined direction (shadow models). Capillary electrophoresis, adsorption in the presence of a shear, and adsorption on an inclined substrate are physical manifestations of these models. Numerical simulations are carried out to show how the new adsorption mechanisms are respons...

Estimating active earth pressure accurately is very important when designing retaining wall. Based on the unified strength theory and plane strain assumption, an analytical solution has been developed to determine the active lateral earth pressure distribution on a retaining structure with the inclined cohesive backfill considering the effect of the intermediate principal stress. The solution d...

We report on new instabilities of the quasistatic equilibrium of water drops pinned by a hydrophobic inclined substrate. The contact line of a statically pinned drop exhibits three transitions of partial depinning: depinning of the advancing and receding parts of the contact line and depinning of the entire contact line leading to the drop's translational motion. We find a region of parameters ...

In the title compound, C21H24ClNO, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The two phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 20.7 (1)°, and are inclined to the mean plane of the four planar atoms of the piperidine ring by 87.64 (10) and 70.8 (1)°. The mol-ecular structure features short intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O contacts. In the crystal, there are no significant inter-molecula...
