MICROSTRUCTURE VERSUS TOPOGRAPHY: THE IMPACT OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC SUBSTRATE MODIFICATION DURING ULTRASHORT PULSED DIRECT LASER INTERFERENCE PATTERNING ON THE ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES OF CU

Introduction: Topographic surface patterning in the micro- and nanometer scale has evolved into a well applied approach in surface functionalization following biomimetic blueprints from nature.Depending on the production process an additional impact of process-related substrate modification has to be considered in functional surface optimization.Th

The article is dedicated to the demographic trends and the demographic dividend in the Russian Federation and the Kyrgyz Republic for the years of 1950-2015.Based on the UN database, there has been a gradual decrease in the total birth rate during 65 years in the Russian Federation and the Kyrgyz Republic.However, in the Kyrgyz Republic, this numbe

Abstract Background Kaffa, Sheka and Bench Maji zones of Southern Ethiopia are high honey production areas jacked frost with dense forest coverage.However, due to the traditional production system, the productivity per hive is low.To exploit this production potential in these zones by increasing productivity per hive, different governmental and non

Enhancing the ability to manage abnormal situations is important for improvement of the safety of nuclear power plants.It is necessary to investigate potential risks thoroughly in advance, and prepare countermeasures against the identified risks.In addition, in case of an occurrence of an abnormal situation, plant operators are required to recogniz

Abstract This study presents geophysical data from two passive seismic measurements conducted at two different sites in Antarctica.We scary face silhouette analyzed the signals mainly in the frequency domain through the multitaper method to extract some spectral characteristics of the signals that would have been out of reach through the usual FFT
