Statistical evaluation of morphological parameters of porous nanostructures on the synthesized indium phosphide surface by Н.И. Косач, В.Б. Большаков, И.Т. Богданов, Я.А. Сычикова

“… A constructive method for estimating the surface morphology of nanostructured semiconductors, which consists in determining the main statistical characteristics of the aggregate structure of nanoscale objects on their synthesized surface is presented. In terms of the indium phosphide semiconductor with a synthesized porous layer on its surface, it is shown that the evaluation of the main statistical characteristics allows a deeper understanding of the kinetics of the pore formation process during typical electrochemical treatment of the crystal. …”

Characterizing Offshore Freshened Groundwater Salinity Patterns Using Trans‐Dimensional Bayesian Inversion of Controlled Source Electromagnetic Data: A Case Study From the Canterbu... by Zahra Faghih, Amir Haroon, Marion Jegen, Romina Gehrmann, Katrin Schwalenberg, Aaron Micallef, Jan Dettmer, Christian Berndt, Joshu Mountjoy, Bradley A. Weymer

“…Integrating these resistivity models with sub‐surface properties, such as host‐rock porosity, allows for estimates of pore‐water salinity. However, evaluating the uncertainty in pore‐water salinity using resistivity models obtained from deterministic inversion approaches presents challenges, as they provide only one best‐fit model, with no associated estimate of uncertainty. …”

Experimental Study on Seepage Characteristics of Jurassic Weakly Cemented Sandstone under Water-Rock Interaction by Qin Liu, Yajun Sun, Jian Li

“…It is concluded that the specific permeability of weakly cemented sandstones is directly proportional to porosity and the square of the average pore-throat radius. A theoretical equation to calculate the specific permeability during the latter two stages was also presented in this paper. …”

A refined model of claudin-15 tight junction paracellular architecture by molecular dynamics simulations. by Giulio Alberini, Fabio Benfenati, Luca Maragliano

“…Although very promising, the model offers only a static conformation, with residues missing in the most important extracellular regions and potential steric clashes. Here we present detailed atomic models of paracellular single and double pore architectures, obtained from the putative assembly and refined via structural modeling and all-atom molecular dynamics simulations in double membrane bilayer and water environment. …”
