MICROPHASE SEPARATION OF A PS-B-PFS BLOCK COPOLYMER VIA SOLVENT ANNEALING: EFFECT OF SOLVENT, SUBSTRATE, AND EXPOSURE TIME ON MORPHOLOGY

Microphase Separation of a PS-b-PFS Block Copolymer via Solvent Annealing: Effect of Solvent, Substrate, and Exposure Time on Morphology

Block copolymer (BCP) lithography makes use of the microphase separation properties of BCPs to pattern ordered nanoscale features read more over large areas.This work presents the microphase separation of an asymmetric polystyrene-block-poly(ferrocenyl dimethylsilane) (PS-b-PFS) BCP that allows ordered arrays of nanostructures to be formed by spin

Designing technologies for self-care: Describing the lived experiences of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis

Self-care of a chronic illness is a lifelong management process that includes taking medications, monitoring symptoms, and coping with emotional and lifestyle changes.Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research has often responded apac1/60/1/cw to these needs by developing technologies that help an individual quantify aspects of their chronic illness

Uncertain Governance and Resilient Subjects in the Risk Society

Over the past decade or so, a series of new or revitalised strategies have been promoted to govern the highly uncertain threats that risk appears no longer able to prevent.Most owe their ascendancy to the lessons of 9/11, and the ‘bureaucratising of imagination’ that US sources have proposed as a response, by kicker pro comp 10 centring

Microarray Evaluation of Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence of Escherichia coli Isolates from Portuguese Poultry

The presence of antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors of 174 Escherichia coli strains isolated from healthy Portuguese Gallus gallus was evaluated.Resistance profiles were determined against 33 antimicrobials by microbroth dilution.Resistance was prevalent for tetracycline (70%) and ampicillin (63%).Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)
