We experimentally studied the formation of vacancy clusters and oxygen related defects in uranium oxide (UOx) thin films (<70 nm) changing the stoichiometry in the x = 2.2?3.5 range. Films were deposited on Si(0 0 1) by ...

In Brazilian municipalities with an essentially agricultural economy, rural road infrastructure is of fundamental importance for social and economic development. Good conditions guarantee the perfect flow of production and ...

The glycerol electrooxidation reaction (GEOR) has attracted huge interest in the last decade due to the very low price and availability of this polyol. In this work, we studied the GEOR on Pt(111) electrodes by introducing ...

Enamel microabrasion is a non-invasive method that removes intrinsic and superficial defects from teeth aimed to improve dental esthetic with minimal loss of dental tissue. This case presentation describes the attempt for ...
