TL;DR: A new class of superhydrophobic surfaces created from low-cost and easily synthesized aluminum oxide nanoparticles functionalized carboxylic acids having highly branched hydrocarbon chains are new low surface energy materials (LSEMs) which can replace environmentally hazardous and expensive fluorocarbons.

TL;DR: Distinct differences in size, shape, and element composition of the metallic particles were detected in each implant class which correlate with the histological features of severity of ALTR and variability in implant performance.

TL;DR: The results provide an understanding of the primary influence of the reactive nature of the surface and its dramatic effect on the electrical properties of ZnO NWs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the process by which convicted sexual offenders move out of denial and the factors which influence their decision to admit, and proposed an integrated theoretical model of denial, with implications for future research and the development of a theory-based treatment programme for deniers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the most important consequences related to the polarity in ZnO nanowires for piezotronic and piezoelectric devices.
