ANALYSIS OF SURFACE DEFECTS OF ALUMINUM AND ITS ALLOYS WITH A SCANNING KELVIN PROBE by A. K. Tyavlovsky, A. L. Zharin, O. K. Gusev, R. I. Varabei, N. I. Muhurov, G. V. Sharonov, K. U. Pantsialeyeu

“…Surfaces with higher mechanical strength and overall better mechanical properties found to have lower CPD values that correspond to higher electron work function and surface energy. The presence of the second mode in the CPD distribution histogram indicates the significant proportion of defect areas on the sample surface.Analysis of visualized CPD distribution maps using defined criteria allows detecting and characterizing such defects as residual stress areas, areas with reduced microhardness, surface contamination spots, corrosion defects. …”

Deep crypt secretory cells shape region-specific mucin glycosylation patterns in the mouse colon. by Daisuke Sugahara, Hayato Kawakami, Yoshihiro Akimoto

“…Immunofluorescence staining revealed that DCS cells produce distinctive mucin-glycans, including those with the Core3-glycan motif that exhibit region-specific distributions in the mucin layer. We found that the gradient distribution of DCS cells predominantly shapes their region-specific distribution, whereas the inverse distribution of goblet cells corresponds to the distal distribution of sulfated and sialylated glycans. …”
