Participants listened to words while viewing film clips (audio off). Film clips were classified as neutral, positively valenced, negatively valenced, and arousing. Memory was assessed in three ways: recall of film content, recall of words, and context recognition. In the context recognition test, participants were presented a word and determined which film clip was showing when the word was ori...

In this study, Damar Batu (DB) − a novel biomaterial− is evaluated for its potential application in pharmaceutical coating. DB is a whitish to yellowish resin, characterized initially in terms of solubility, acid value, molecular weight (Mw), polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) and glass transition temperature (Tg). Neat plasticized films of DB are investigated for mechanical, water vapor transmission...

Three-dimensional free-standing film electrodes have aroused great interest for energy storage devices. However, small volumetric capacity and low operating voltage limit their practical application for large energy storage applications. Herein, a facile and novel nanofoaming process was demonstrated to boost the volumetric electrochemical capacitance of the devices via activation of Ni nanowir...

Currently, the polyethlene terephthalate (PET) film challenges to substitute Tri-acetyl cellulouse (TAC) film which is a protection film in a polarizer layer, because of low cost of PET film. On the contrary, the PET film shows an optical problem such that color shift or interference optical pattern in oblique direction can occur because the film is made with the lamination process, which induc...

Detecting glaucoma progression is crucial for assessing the effectivity of the treatment. This paper describes three methods for detecting progression related changes in polarimetric images of the retinal nerve fiber layer (NFL), both on a global and on a local scale. Detecting global changes proved not to be feasible due to poor reproducibility of the measurements at the pixel level. Local pro...

The magnitude of the stress in a thin film can be obtained by measuring the curvature of the film–substrate couple. Crystal curvature techniques yield the average stress throughout the film thickness. On a microscopic level, the details of the strain distribution, as a function of depth through the thickness of the film, can have important consequences in governing film quality and ultimate mor...

This paper investigates effects of surface stress and wetting layers on the morphological instability of a growing epitaxially strained dislocation-free solid film. Linear stability analysis of the planar film shows that the film, unstable due to lattice mismatch, is affected differently by surface stress for a film under compression than for one under tension and depends on whether the relativ...

We describe a spatial pattern arising from the nonuniform evaporation of a colloidal film. Immediately after the film deposition, an obstacle is positioned above its free surface, minimizing evaporation at this location. In a first stage, the film dries everywhere but under the obstacle, where a liquid region remains. Subsequently, this liquid region evaporates near its boundaries with the dry ...

Morphological changes and the content of free carboxyl groups in bovine collagen (type I) film under the influence of trypsin, hydrochloric acid (HCl) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were studied. Incubation with trypsin and HCl was found to cause some delamination of the film and the appearance of some low-density spots. Incubation with EDTA did not cause any morphological changes. ...
