Quantitative measurements of nanoparticle layer thicknesses near the contact line region after droplet drying-out
Confocal fringe patterns of evaporating sessile drops have provided initial evidence of the presence of a sub-micron thin liquid film emanating from an evaporating sessile droplet. The droplets studied were se...

Diffuse malignant mesothelioma of the pleura: A clinicopathological study of six patients with a prolonged symptom-free interval or extended survival after biopsy and a review of the literature of long-term survival
Diffuse malignant mesothelioma of the pleura generally proceeds rapidly with clinical deterioration soon after the initial histopathological diagnosis of the tumor. We encountered six patients in whom the symp...
