TL;DR: In this article, high-electric-field technique was used to measure the out-of-plane (polar) anchoring strength at the interface between a nematic liquid crystal, pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB), and a photosensitive polyimide (PI) alignment layer possessing an azo group in the main chain.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of producing a 3D structure is described, which consists of arranging a substrate close to a tip of a needle-shaped fluid-ejection body having a fine diameter supplied with a solution, ejecting a fluid droplet having an ultra-fine diameter toward a surface of the substrate by applying a voltage having a prescribed waveform to the needle-shape fluid-evading body, making the droplet fly and land on the substrate, and solidifying the droplets after the fluid droplets is landed on the surface, wherein the structure is grown

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of substituting oxygen for sulphur on the liquid crystalline properties of chiral twin compounds was investigated, and different effects of introducing the thioether linkage were observed between twin and monomeric systems.

TL;DR: This study indicates that skin wounds and the gut epithelium can be portals of entry of G. plecoglossi and that natural infection in fish seems to occur perorally rather than via the skin.

TL;DR: In this article, surface plasmons (SP) were excited on both of the electrodes of organic photoelectric cells of Al/copper phthalocyanine/Ag structure using attenuated total reflection method to examine the influence of excitation of SP on photoelectric effects.
