Constructing safe and effective antibacterial surfaces has continuously received great attentions, especially in healthcare-related fields. Bioinspired mechano-bactericidal nanostructure surfaces could serve as a promising strategy to reduce surface bacterial contamination while avoiding the...

In this study, the application of laser processing technology to produce the wedge surface and its internal structure in one-step way will be introduced, and the function of wedge surface and internal structure coupling on liquid’s movement and controlling will be studied. Inspired by the...

Purpose: Aim at making a scheme for emergency spare parts the support problem when large equipment spare parts supply network faced with large-scale emergency events. Design/methodology/approach: In order to analyze the model, we establish the spare parts security model under network supply...
