Adhesion Testing of Direct-Write Printed Ink on Metallic Structural Components by Timothy L. Phero, Amey R. Khanolkar, James A. Smith, Bradley C. Benefiel, Shaun P. Evans, Michael D. McMurtrey, David Estrada, Brian J. Jaques

“…These adhesion measurement techniques were compared against the sintering condition-dependent microstructure of the additive manufacturing films. The porous structure of the printed thin film was found to be an important factor that impacted adhesion tests that utilize adhesives (i.e., glue and resins) due to an enhanced interlocking to the adherend surface. …”

Comparative study of packaging materials developed from fish and legume protein concentrates by Evmorfia Athanasopoulou, Angeliki Katsiroumpa, Chrysavgi Gardeli, Theofania Tsironi

“…This study investigates the isolation process of biopolymers from legumes (lentil) products and fish (gilthead seabream) waste, with the aim of producing composite films. The developed films were characterized for optical, mechanical and water barrier properties, hydrophobicity (via contact angle measurement), moisture content, water solubility, and biodegradability. …”

Vibration Signal Analysis of Journal Bearing Supported Rotor System by Cyclostationarity by Chang Peng, Lin Bo

“…However, the conventional cyclostationarity is restricted to analyzing the real-valued signal, which is incapable of processing the constructed complex-valued signal obtained from the journal bearing supported rotor system operating with oil film instability. In this work, the directional cyclostationary parameters, such as directional cyclic mean, directional cyclic autocorrelation, and directional spectral correlation density, are defined based on the principle of directional Wigner distribution. …”

Tracing Ophelia from Millais to Contemporary Art: Literary, Pictorial and Digital Icons by Laurence Roussillon-Constanty

“…More recently, further investigation of the Shakespearean character as it resurfaced in literature, film and cinema has brought to light the inherent contradictions relating to her very nature: the more Ophelia is represented and made visible in literature and the arts, the more she seems to be vanishing. …”

New Semiempirical Equation Describing Evaporation and Condensation in Nonassociated Liquids by Mihail Yu. Gorbachev, Anatholy S. Dimoglo

“…For some vapor molecules the surface layer of the liquids behaves as an impenetrable elastic film. In the case of evaporating molecules, their one-particle potential barrier caused by the surface molecules vibration is essentially higher for the conformationally flexible molecules than that for rigid ones.…”

Żywe pomniki. Pamięć i zapomnienie w filmie „Gyumri” by Sławomir Sikora

“…Jana Ševčíková w swoim filmie (realizacja projektu trwała cztery lata) podejmuje bardzo ciekawą próbę ukazania pamięci tego traumatycznego wydarzenia. Jej film nie jest jednak tylko próbą rekonstrukcji zdarzeń, sięga głębiej: od zapisu wydarzeń (filmy, fotografie), pamięci owych wydarzeń przechodzi do dzisiejszego stanu świadomości, obecnego również wśród tych, którzy tylko pośrednio zostali dotknięci katastrofą, dzieci urodzonych po tragedii, a często noszących brzemię swego zmarłego rodzeństwa. …”
