Electrostatic charging of jumping droplets

With the broad interest in and development of superhydrophobic surfaces for self-cleaning, condensation heat transfer enhancement and anti-icing applications, more detailed insights on droplet interactions on these surfaces have emerged. Specifically, when two droplets coalesce, they can spontaneously jump away from a superhydrophobic surface due to the release of excess surface energy. Here we show that jumping droplets gain a net positive charge that causes them to repel each other mid-flight. We used electric fields to quantify the charge on the droplets and identified the mechanism for the charge accumulation, which is associated with the formation of the electric double layer at the droplet–surface interface. The observation of droplet charge accumulation provides insight into jumping droplet physics as well as processes involving charged liquid droplets. Furthermore, this work is a starting point for more advanced approaches for enhancing jumping droplet surface performance by using external electric fields to control droplet jumping.United States.

Measurement and comparison of individual external doses of high-school students living in Japan, France, Poland and Belarus -- the "D-shuttle" project --

Twelve high schools in Japan (of which six are in Fukushima Prefecture), four in France, eight in Poland and two in Belarus cooperated in the measurement and comparison of individual external doses in 2014. In total 216 high-school students and teachers participated in the study. Each participant wore an electronic personal dosimeter "D-shuttle" for two weeks, and kept a journal of his/her whereabouts and activities. The distributions of annual external doses estimated for each region overlap with each other, demonstrating that the personal external individual doses in locations where residence is currently allowed in Fukushima Prefecture and in Belarus are well within the range of estimated annual doses due to the background radiation level of other regions/countries

Smart Skin Patterns Protect Springtails

Springtails, arthropods who live in soil, in decaying material, and on plants, have adapted to demanding conditions by evolving extremely effective and robust anti-adhesive skin patterns. However, details of these unique properties and their structural basis are still unknown. Here we demonstrate that collembolan skin can resist wetting by many organic liquids and at elevated pressures. We show that the combination of bristles and a comb-like hexagonal or rhombic mesh of interconnected nanoscopic granules distinguish the skin of springtails from anti-adhesive plant surfaces. Furthermore, the negative overhang in the profile of the ridges and granules were revealed to be a highly effective, but as yet neglected, design principle of collembolan skin. We suggest an explanation for the non-wetting characteristics of surfaces consisting of such profiles irrespective of the chemical composition. Many valuable opportunities arise from the translation of the described comb-like patterns and overhanging profiles of collembolan skin into man-made surfaces that combine stability against wear and friction with superior non-wetting and anti-adhesive characteristics

Self-similarity of contact line depinning from textured surfaces

The mobility of drops on surfaces is important in many biological and industrial processes, but the phenomena governing their adhesion, which is dictated by the morphology of the three-phase contact line, remain unclear. Here we describe a technique for measuring the dynamic behaviour of the three-phase contact line at micron length scales using environmental scanning electron microscopy. We examine a superhydrophobic surface on which a drop’s adhesion is governed by capillary bridges at the receding contact line. We measure the microscale receding contact angle of each bridge and show that the Gibbs criterion is satisfied at the microscale. We reveal a hitherto unknown self-similar depinning mechanism that shows how some hierarchical textures such as lotus leaves lead to reduced pinning, and counter-intuitively, how some lead to increased pinning. We develop a model to predict adhesion force and experimentally verify the model’s broad applicability on both synthetic and natural textured surfaces.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (CAREER Award 0952564)DuPont MIT AllianceNational Science Foundation (U.S.).

Method of Separation Between Light and Heavy Groups of Primary CR Nuclei by LDF of Cherenkov Light in the Range 300–3000 TeV

The problem of chemical composition below the knee in the cosmic-ray energy spectrum has not yet been solved due to low statistics collected from direct experiments. In the HiSCORE experiment the lateral distribution functions (LDF) of Cherenkov light of EASs with energy greater than hundreds of TeV can be measured in detail for millions of individual events. A full steepness of LDF is sensitive to the depth of shower maximum and as a result to primary particle type. In this paper, we developed a parametric method of separation between heavy and light groups of nuclei using the ’knee-like’ approximation of LDF and taking into account measurement uncertainty

Thermal Transport in Micro- and Nanoscale Systems

Small-scale (micro-/nanoscale) heat transfer has broad and exciting range of applications. Heat transfer at small scale quite naturally is influenced – sometimes dramatically – with high surface area-to-volume ratios. This in effect means that heat transfer in small-scale devices and systems is influenced by surface treatment and surface morphology. Importantly, interfacial dynamic effects are at least non-negligible, and there is a strong potential to engineer the performance of such devices using the progress in micro- and nanomanufacturing technologies. With this motivation, the emphasis here is on heat conduction and convection. The chapter starts with a broad introduction to Boltzmann transport equation which captures the physics of small-scale heat transport, while also outlining the differences between small-scale transport and classical macroscale heat transport. Among applications, examples are thermoelectric and thermal interface materials where micro- and nanofabrication have led to impressive figure of merits and thermal management performance. Basic of phonon transport and its manipulation through nanostructuring materials are discussed in detail. Small-scale single-phase convection and the crucial role it has played in developing the thermal management solutions for the next generation of electronics and energy-harvesting devices are discussed as the next topic. Features of microcooling platforms and physics of optimized thermal transport using microchannel manifold heat sinks are discussed in detail along with a discussion of how such systems also facilitate use of low-grade, waste heat from data centers and photovoltaic modules. Phase change process and their control using surface micro-/nanostructure are discussed next. Among the feature considered, the first are microscale heat pipes where capillary effects play an important role. Next the role of nanostructures in controlling nucleation and mobility of the discrete phase in two-phase processes, such as boiling, condensation, and icing is explained in great detail. Special emphasis is placed on the limitations of current surface and device manufacture technologies while also outlining the potential ways to overcome them. Lastly, the chapter is concluded with a summary and perspective on future trends and, more importantly, the opportunities for new research and applications in this exciting field

ВИЯВЛЕННЯ ФАКТОРІВ РИЗИКУ У ХВОРИХ НА АРТЕРІАЛЬНУ ГІПЕРТЕНЗІЮ ЗА УЧАСТІ МЕДИЧНОЇ СЕСТРИ

Arterial hypertension (AH) is the most frequent among cardiovascular diseases (CVD).About 31% of people suffer from it. The data of epidemiological studies indicate thatoccurrence of the disease is considerably caused by the level of modified and nonmodified risk factors (RF).Under conditions of reforms in the health care system of Ukraine implementation ofqualitatively new measures concerning AH prevention and activity to form a healthy lifestyle have become rather important. Management of a complicated behavior and life styleof AH patients requires experience and mutual efforts of various medical professionals.Professional competence of nurses enables to involve them in realization of up-to-datetechnologies in order to prevent diseases and strengthen health.Timely detection of RFs, elimination of their action, organization of patients’ education isone of the important tasks of nurses.Purpose of the study. To investigate the effect of modified risk factors on the developmentof arterial hypertension and determine the role of a nurse in the management of thedisease on the level of primary health care.Material and methods. 120 AH patients were involved into the study by means of a surveyincluding 43,3% of men and 56,7% of women aged from 23 to 79 (48,33±12,93). Theirarterial pressure was measured and risk factors were found. The results obtained wereprocessed by means of the common statistical methods using the packages of computersoftware STATISTICA V.6.0. The results of the study are presented in the number ofobservations, percentage, and accurate p value.Discussion. The period of arterial hypertension varied widely, though the majorityof patients (82%) suffered from it more than 10 years. The main part of patients – 73(60,83%) were afflicted with I degree of AH, 29 patients (24,17%) had II degree and 18individuals (15%) – III degree. The overweight patients and those with I – II degree ofobesity prevailed (81,67%). For example, 60 patients (50%) had android (abdominal)type of the adipose tissue distribution, which is indicative of metabolic disorders in thebody. All the patients were diagnosed to have moderate and high levels of psychosocialstress, which might be associated with an intensive and stressful life style. The majority ofpatients were characterized by a low (62,5%) and moderate (34,12%) levels of physicalactivity; and only 3,33% of them had sufficient level of physical activity. The surveyfound that 42 (35%) individuals smoked having a mixed type of smoking habits, moderate(40%) and mild (31%) degree of nicotine abuse. The majority of patients mentionedexcessive intake of salt, fats and cholesterol, disturbed dietary habits, insufficient intakeof vegetables and fruit.Conclusions. The amount of modified risk factors promoting development ofcardiovascular diseases increases in AH patients with age. Detection of RFs, educationof patients concerning their elimination is an integral part of nurse’s everyday work. Itwill promote improvement of life quality, prevention, optimization of a comprehensivetreatment and stabilization of arterial hypertension.Артериальная гипертензия (АГ) ‒ наиболее распространенная болезнь среди всехсердечно-сосудистых заболеваний (ССЗ), которой страдает около 31% всех людейна планете.

Управление сложным поведениемобраза жизни больных АГ требует опыта различных медицинских работников. Вчастности, профессиональная компетентность медицинских сестер позволяетактивно привлекать их к реализации современных технологий профилактикизаболевания и укрепления здоровья.Своевременное выявление ФР, устранения их действия, организация и проведениезанятий с пациентами являются важными задачами медицинских сестер.Цель работы ‒ исследовать влияние модифицированных факторов риска наразвитие артериальной гипертензии и определить роль медицинской сестры в ихуправлении на уровне первичного звена здравоохранения.Материал и методы. В опросе (путем анкетирования) приняли участие 120больных АГ, из них: мужчин ‒ 43,3%, женщин ‒ 56,7% в возрасте от 23 до 79(48,33±12,93) лет. Измеряли офисное артериальное давление (АД) и выявлялифакторы риска (ФР). Результаты исследования обработаны общепринятымистатистическими методами с использованием пакетов компьютерныхSTATISTICA V.6.0 и представлены соответствующим количеством наблюдений,процентами, точным значением р.Результаты. По длительности течения АГ колебалась в широких пределах,однако многие пациенты (82%) болели более 10 лет. Большинствобольных 73 (60,83%) имели АГ первой степени, несколькоменьше ‒ второй29 (24,17%), 18 (15%) ‒ третьей степеней. Среди обследованных преобладалибольные (81,67%) с избыточной массой тела и ожирением І- ІІ степени. Так, в60 (50%) пациентов наблюдался андроидный (абдоминальный) тип распределенияжировой ткани, что указывает на метаболические нарушения в организме. Увсех больных диагностирован общий средний и высокий уровни психосоциальногостресса, объясняется, вероятно, напряженным ритмом жизни. Для большинствахарактерен низкий (62,5%), средний (34,12%) и только 3,33% достаточныйуровень физической активности. Анкетирование показало, что 42 человека(35%) из опрошенных курят и имеют смешанный тип курительного поведения,среднюю (40%) и слабую (31%) степени никотиновой зависимости. Рацион многихпациентов содержит избыточное потребление соли, жиров и холестерина;наблюдается нарушение режима питания, недостаточное потребление овощейи фруктов.Выводы. У пациентов на АГ с возрастом увеличивается количествомодифицированных ФГ развития ССЗ. Поэтому выявление ФР, обучениепациентов по их устранению является важной составляющей профессиональнойдеятельности медицинской сестры, что будет способствовать улучшениюкачества жизни, профилактике, оптимизации комплексного лечения истабилизации АГ.Артеріальна гіпертензія (АГ) – найбільш поширена недуга з-поміж усіх серцевосудинних захворювань (ССЗ), на яку страждає близько 31% усіх людей на планеті.Результати епідеміологічних досліджень засвідчують, що поширеність такогозахворювання переважно зумовлене рівнем модифікованих і немодифікованихфакторів ризику (ФР).В умовах реформування системи охорони здоров’я України важливим єзапровадження якісно нових заходів щодо профілактики АГ та діяльності зформування здорового способу життя. Управління складною поведінкою способужиття хворих на АГ вимагає досвіду різних медичних працівників. Зокрема,професійна компетентність медичних сестер дозволяє активно залучати і їх дореалізації сучасних технологій профілактики захворювання та зміцнення здоров’я.Своєчасне виявлення ФР, усунення їх дії, організація та проведення занять ізпацієнтами є важливими завданнями медичних сестер.Мета роботи – дослідити вплив модифікованих факторів ризику на розвитокартеріальної гіпертензії та визначити роль медичної сестри в їх управлінні нарівні первинної ланки охорони здоров’я.Матеріал та методи. В опитуванні (шляхом анкетування) взяли участь 120 хворихна АГ, з них: чоловіків – 43,3%, жінок – 56,7% віком від 23 до 79 (48,33±12,93) років.Вимірювали офісний артеріальний тиск (АТ) і виявляли фактори ризику (ФР).Результати. За тривалістю перебігу АГ коливалась у широких межах, однакчимало пацієнтів (82%) хворіли понад 10 років. Більшість хворих 73 (60,83%)мали АГ першого ступеня, дещо менше - другого 29 (24,17%), 18 (15%) - третьогоступенів. Серед обстежених переважали хворі (81,67%) з надлишковою масою тілата ожирінням І-ІІ ступеня. Так, у 60 (50%) пацієнтів спостерігався андроїдний(абдомінальний) тип розподілу жирової тканини, що вказує на метаболічніпорушення в організмі. В усіх хворих діагностовано загальний середній і високийрівні психосоціального стресу, що пояснюється, ймовірно, напруженим ритмомжиття. Для більшості характерним є низький (62,5%), середній (34,12%) ілише 3,33% достатній рівень фізичної активності. Анкетування засвідчило, що42 особи (35%) із опитаних курять і мають змішаний тип курильної поведінки,середній (40%) та слабкий (31%) ступені нікотинової залежності. Раціонбагатьох пацієнтів містить надмірне споживання солі, жирів та холестерину;спостерігається порушення режиму харчування, недостатнє споживання овочіві фруктів.Висновки. У пацієнтів на АГ з віком зростає кількість модифікованих ФРрозвитку ССЗ. Тому виявлення ФР, навчання пацієнтів щодо їх усунення є важливимскладником професійної роботи медичної сестри, що сприятиме покращеннюякості життя, профілактиці, оптимізації комплексного лікування та стабілізаціїАГ
