Surface engineering at the nanoscale is a rapidly developing field that promises to impact range of applications including energy production, water desalination, self-cleaning and anti-icing surfaces, thermal management electronics, microfluidic platforms, environmental pollution control. As area advances, more detailed insights dynamic wetting interactions on these surfaces are needed. In particular, coalescence two or droplets ultra-low adhesion leads droplet jumping. Here we show, through...

Abstract Statistical analysis of transitional boundary layers in pressure gradients is performed using the flow fields from direct numerical simulations bypass transition. Laminar–turbulent discrimination separates streaky laminar turbulent regions. Individual streaks are identified and tracked field order to obtain statistics amplitude streak population. An extreme value model proposed for distribution amplitudes. It also possible differentiate those which break down into spots innocuous...

Rare earth oxides (REOs) are attracting attention for use as cost-effective, high-performance dropwise condensers because of their favorable thermal properties and robust nature. However, to engineer a suitable surface industrial applications, the mechanism governing wetting must be first fully elucidated. Recent studies exploring water-wetting state REOs have suggested that these intrinsically hydrophobic owing unique electronic structure lanthanide series. These claims been countered with...

Team cohesion is an important antecedent of team performance, but our understanding this relationship mired by inconsistencies in how has been conceptualized and measured. The nature teams also changing, the effect change unclear. By meta-analyzing cohesion-performance ( k = 195, n 12,023), examining measurement moderators, distinguishing modern traditional characteristics, we uncovered various insights. First, varies based on degree proximity. More proximal measures –task cohesion,...

The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) will observe the optical emission from prime targets of gamma-ray instruments onboard ESA mission INTEGRAL, with support JEM-X monitor in X-ray domain. This capability provide invaluable diagnostic information on nature and physics sources over a broad wavelength range. Its main scientific objectives are: (1) to observed by gamma- instruments, measuring time intensity structure for comparison variability at high energies, (2) brightness position...

Communicating the results of research to nonscientists presents many challenges. Among these challenges is communicating effectiveness an intervention in a way that people untrained statistics can understand. Use traditional effect size metrics (e.g., r, r²) has been criticized as being confusing general audiences. In response, researchers have developed nontraditional indicators binomial display, common language indicator) with goal presenting information more understandable manner. The...

This paper presents analyses of particle image velocimetry measurements from a boundary layer on flat plate subject to grid-generated free-stream turbulence. The pre-transition region and early stages breakdown turbulent spots are explored by means quadrant analysis hole analysis. By isolating the contributors Reynolds shear stresses, it is possible identify coherent structures within flow that responsible for production TKE. It found so called ‘ejection’ events most significant form...

Thermal management has traditionally been relegated to the last step in design process. However, with exponential growth data traffic leading ever-greater levels of component integration and ever-higher energy consumption, thermal is rapidly becoming one most critical areas research within ICT industry. Given vast use optics for efficient transmission high-speed data, this paper focuses on a new solution cooling components pluggable optical modules. Thermally Integrated Photonics Systems...

This study tests the applicability of image congruity theory to employment decision‐making process. A sample workers from a variety jobs/organizations ( N = 193) read series job advertisements presenting unique organizational personalities, rated extent which these personalities matched their self‐concept perceptions, and reported evaluations attraction. In accordance with tenets theory, results suggest prospective seekers are attracted organizations they perceive as similar own actual ideal...

Two experiments used a hypothetical hiring scenario to examine (a) how standardizing employee selection practices affects decision makers' perceptions of autonomy potential, and (b) if increasing the level inherent in standardized reduces reluctance use them. The results Experiment 1 suggest that makers perceived structured interview mechanical approach data combination as having less potential than their unstructured intuition-based counterparts. 2 amount procedure significantly affected...

Abstract High-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements of bypass transition reveal the breakdown ubiquitous streaks into turbulent spots. Individual streak velocity profiles are examined and contrasted with root mean square typically reported. An estimation amplitude based on modulation instantaneous boundary layer thickness is proposed. Examination PIV fields shows how spot precursors, identified concurrent hot-film recordings, consist streamwise arrangements positive negative...
