Biologic behavior of the bone tissue around implants with four different surfaces was evaluated. The surfaces were: modified by laser (LS); modified by laser with sodium silicate deposition (SS); and commercially available ...

A scanning laser microscope was used at its highest resolution (25 mum) to study the surface of three kinds of commercial chocolate. Data of measured surfaces were analyzed by scale-sensitive fractal analysis (SSFA) using ...

Several properties of foods, most notably visual perception and color, depend on the complexity of their outer surface. The so-called glistening point method based on specular reflection of an incident light beam is a ...

Filamentous fungi are an unexplored source for the production of biosurfactants, but over a decade one of the most surface active molecules called hydrophobins was discovered. There are few techniques to determine the ...
