Drying colloidal systems: laboratory models for a wide range of applications
The drying of complex fluids provides a powerful insight into phenomena that take place on time and length scales not normally accessible. An important feature of complex fluids, colloidal dispersions and polymer solutions is their high sensitivity to weak external actions. Thus, the drying of complex fluids involves a large number of physical and chemical processes. The scope of this review is the capacity to tune such systems to reproduce and explore specific properties in a physics laboratory. A wide variety of systems are presented, ranging from functional coatings, food science, cosmetology, medical diagnostics and forensics to geophysics and art
Effects of Feed Supplementation on Mineral Composition, Mechanical Properties and Structure in Femurs of Iberian Red Deer Hinds (Cervus elaphus hispanicus)
Un déficit énergétique peut-il causer une mortalité massive parmi les Cervidés dans le quartiers d'été des montagnes du Nord? Une analyse exploratoire sur le Chevreuil à queue noire (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus)
Evolution of concentration and phase structure of colloidal suspensions in a two-ends-open tube during drying process
In utero exposure to low dose arsenic via drinking water impairs early life lung mechanics in mice
Background: Exposure to arsenic via drinking water is a significant environmental issue affecting millions of people around the world. Exposure to arsenic during foetal development has been shown to impair somatic growth and increase the risk of developing chronic respiratory diseases. The aim of this study was to determine if in utero exposure to low dose arsenic via drinking water is capable of altering lung growth and postnatal lung mechanics
