A method to fabricate nano-ridges over a full wafer is presented. The fabrication method uses local oxidation of silicon, with silicon nitride as a mask, and wet anisotropic etching of silicon. The realized structures are 7–20 nm wide, 40–100 nm high and centimeters long. All dimensions are easily adjustable by varying the oxidation time, the wet etching time and the mask geometry, respectively...

Methods of ;wet preparation', stained films, and culture were used to detect trichomonads in vaginal exudate and the results of these methods are compared. A method using a wet preparation and Oxoid no. 2 Trichomonas medium is reliable for routine use.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Radiation induced wet desquamation of skin in carcinoma breast patients is a painful condition. In this study topical beclomethasone dipropionate spray was used as prophylaxis with the purpose of reducing risk of the wet desquamation of skin in irradiated field. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients of carcinoma breast were planned for postoperative loco regional radiothera...

Measuring wet deposition of organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) aerosol is crucial for the understanding of their circulation and climate effect. To further understand the wet deposition of particulate carbon (OC and EC), precipitation samples were collected from April to August 2014 on Xiamen Island in China. EC and water insoluble organic carbon (WIOC) concentrations were analyzed u...

Sharma P, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-222321 Description A 35-year-old woman presented to outpatients with a 1-week history of high-grade fever and generalised malaise. General and systemic examination was unremarkable. On evaluation, her complete haemogram was within normal limits; however peripheral smear revealed the presence of thread-like larval forms of filaria, belongi...

A cost effectively method to fabricate nanopores in silicon by only using the conventional wet-etching technique is developed in this research. The main concept of the proposed method is a two-step etching process, including a premier double-sided wet etching and a succeeding track-etching. A special fixture is designed to hold the pre-etched silicon wafer inside it such that the track-etching ...

The Measurement of Cerebral Infarction Edema With Sodium 22 • Sodium 22 was used to determine quantitatively cerebral infarction edema in cats after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. A comparison was made of the sodium 22 edema determination with the wet weight-dry weight method of edema determination. There was a high degree of correlation between the two methods. The sodium 22 method o...

Neovascular exudative AMD (wet AMD) continues to rank as a top reason to visit eye care specialists, and the early identification of this disease has important prognostic implications for patients. Advancements in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging have surpassed other modalities in the ability to detect the earliest development of wet AMD and prompt treatment initiation, in spite of la...
