Apparent morphology

Six forms of corrosion can be identified based on the apparent morphology of corrosion, the basic factor influencing the mechanism of corrosion in every form. The six forms are given in Table 6.1.

In analogy to the Einstein equation, putting biomass x as a substitute for volume fraction of solids (cf. Table 6.2 with Equs. 6,183-6.189), a more general and flexible relation is achieved. The factor Mp, thus, is the apparent morphology, which is identical to the intrinsic viscosity or limiting viscosity number... 

UV-induced polymer grafting Human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) Acrylic acid grafted onto Si-H terminated porous silicon particles via UV irradiation generated a hydrophilic surface. MCF-7 cells took up the particles with no apparent morphological changes Wang etal. (2011)... 

Brouwers et al. (1996) have discussed some interesting functions of lipids in parasitic worms. For instance, the surface of adults of the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni consists of two closely apposed lipid bilayers (double bilayers), an apparent morphological and functional adaptation to parasitism. This membrane complex provides an effective tool for defeating the host s immune system in various ways. Brouwers et al. (1996) also presented a schematic overview of lipid metabolism in adult parasitic worms of interest because these parasites cannot synthesize fatty acids or cholesterol de novo and must obtain these lipids from the host.
