In exploiting nanostructures for applications such as energy devices, conformal coatings are playing an increasingly crucial role. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is receiving responsibility for the most demanding deposition in nanotechnology, especially in terms of conformality due to its self-limiting surface reactions. In this work, we investigate the effects of reactant dosage on deposition r...

This paper describes a novel fabrication technique called hybrid deposition manufacturing (HDM), which combines additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as fused deposition manufacturing (FDM) with material deposition and embedded components to produce multimaterial parts and systems for robotics, mechatronics, and articulated mechanism applications. AM techniques are used to print both perma...

In-depth understanding of the kinetics of the vapor deposition process is substantial for advancing this capable bottom-up nanostructure synthesis approach into a versatile large-scale nanomanufacturing technology. In this paper, we report a systematic study of the vapor deposition kinetics of ZnO nanomaterials under controlled atmosphere and properly refined deposition conditions. The experime...

Several silicon dioxide chemical vapor deposition processes using high density plasma sources have been recently proposed in the literature [11, 7] for deposition of self-planarizing inter-level dielectric deposition. All these processes exhibit the competitive effect of simultaneous deposition and etching mechanisms. This paper describes the use of a robust simulation technique that can includ...

BACKGROUND Intramuscular fat (intramuscular fat, IMF) is one of the important traits of pork quality. How to reasonably improve the intramuscular fat content is the most focus researchers. Some possible regulation of intramuscular fat deposition of candidate genes to cause the attention of people. The objective of this study was to elucidate the relationship between peroxisome proliferator-acti...

The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of the knowledge of the mechanisms by which drugs deposit into hair. While much work and many reviews have been produced on methods of analysis of drugs in hair, a smaller body of work and fewer reviews have concentrated on the biochemical mechanisms by which drugs deposit and are retained in hair. Proposed mechanisms are discussed with various...

The deposition of aerosol in the lung is an important issue regardless of whether the aerosol results from airborne pollutants or aerosol therapy. The specific pattern of deposition of airborne pollutants is a determinant in the development of pulmonary diseases since this pattern determines the local doses in the airspaces and the subsequent redistribution and clearance of the deposited partic...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. A fundamental feature of AD is brain region-specific deposition of extracellular amyloid plaques principally comprised of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide. Using mouse models of cerebral Aβ deposition, we examined molecular, cellular and systems-level mechanisms that regulate brain region-specific Aβ accumulation and aggregation. Parallel...

Three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of ion beam assisted deposition ~IBAD! are performed to determine the mechanisms of crystallographic texture selection during the IBAD of polycrystalline films. A face centered cubic bicrystal consisting of @111# and @110# oriented grains is grown while an ion beam bombards the growing film at normal incidence. As the film grows, the grain bounda...
