To investigate the effect of surface nanostructures on the behaviors of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), surface nanostructured titanium alloy (Ti-3Zr2Sn-3Mo-25Nb, TLM) was fabricated by surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) technique. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray dif...

In this manuscript, we studied the effect of additive manufacturing pretreatment on bacterial adhesion and inactivation copper-based interfaces. Sandblasting, mirror polishing Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment (SMAT) at high or low energies have been employed to modify substrate’s (316L stainless steel) roughness. The pretreated substrates were coated with thin copper films using magnetron...

OBJECTIVES Posttraumatic invasive fungal infections threaten critically injured combat-related injuries and require a combination of extensive surgery and systemic antifungal therapy, along with topical antimicrobials used adjunctively to control the infection. We evaluated the in vitro activity of topical agents in varying combinations and concentrations against molds from patients that were r...

Soil moisture is an important hydrologic state variable critical to successful hydroclimatic and environmental predictions. Soil moisture varies both in space and time because of spatio-temporal variations in precipitation, soil properties, topographic features, and vegetation characteristics. In recent years, airand space-borne remote sensing campaigns have successfully demonstrated the use of...
