In this paper, forced vibration was used to regulate the droplet migration, fully recording the transient migration of droplets on a micro-textured substrate under the resonance frequency by a high-speed camera. The influence of resonance frequency and dynamic migration characteristics of droplets on the solid micro-texture surface under lateral vibration were researched. The experiment demonstrates that the driving force is caused by the difference between the left and right contact angles made the droplet oscillate and migrate, and as time t increases, the left and right contact points are periodically shifted and the amplitude of migration increases. Therefore, based on the droplet migration behavior and its force balance mechanism, a spring vibration model of migration behavior of the vibrating droplet micro unit was set up to predict the complete trajectory of its migration on a solid surface. The calculation results show that the theoretical displacement is less than the experimental displacement, and the longer the time, the larger the difference. Affected by the vibration, part of the droplet permeates through the micro-texture, resulting in the droplet losing height and the contact angle becoming smaller as well. While the other part of droplet overcomes the internal surface tension to migrate.

As the demand for fine-pitch FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) increases, so do the number of applications of sputtered FCCL (Flexible Copper Clad Laminate). Furthermore, as the width between the circuit patterns decreases, greater defects are observed in the migration phenomenon. In this study we observed changes in ion migration in real circuit-pattern width using sputtered FCCL. We found that as the applied voltage and residue thickness of the NiCr seeds increase, ion migration occurs faster. If the NiCr seed layer thickens due to a high cathode power and long deposition time while being sputtered, the NiCr will form a residue that quickly becomes a factor for incurring ion migration.

In the traditional seismic processing, multiple reflections are treated as noise and therefore they are eliminated during data processing. Recently, however, many studies have begun to consider multiples as signals rather than noise for seismic imaging. Multiple reflections can illuminate an area where primary reflections are not able to cover, thus it is allowed that a smaller number of shots and receivers are used for imaging large areas. In order to verify this, surface-related multiples were used for reverse-time migration (RTM), and then we compared the results with conventional RTM images which are generated from primary reflections. To utilize multiples, we separated multiples from whole seismic data using surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) method. Numerical examples confirmed that the migration using multiples can image wider area than the conventional migration, particularly in the shallow subsurface layers. In addition, the migration of multiples could eliminate the acquisition footprints.

Corrosion of the disk has been an ongoing concern for the manufacturers of hard disk drives. With the advent of magnetoresistive (MR) head, very low levels of corrosion and contamination become more critical since the raised defects and corrosion products on the disk surface-anything that heats the MR sensor due to the contact-can distort the output signal of the head. This phenomenon is called as thermal asperity. In this paper, the effect of corrosion as a form of Co migration on the occurrence of thermal asperity in MR drives was investigated. The corrosion test at high temperature (60$^{\circ}C$) and high relative humidity (80%) was emphasized in this study and the testing results at ambient condition were compared. The corrosion on the disks was characterized as the amount of Co ion migration using an ion chromatography (IC) and a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS). It is proved that corrosion on the disk surface after storage testing is closely correlated to the amount of Co ions migration from the magnetic layer to disk surfaces and higher Co migration causes more thermal asperities in the drive. In order to reduce Co migration, several methods such as burnishing process and structure of the carbon overcoat were investigated. It is found that the hydrogenated carbon overcoat shows the least Co migration among different types of overcoat layer. However, the most effective way to reduce Co migration is the application of Cr layer between the overcoat and the magnetic alloy layer.

After the 1%S-Al metal is deposited, a thin oxide is formed thereon. Then, a single charged Argon(Ar$^{+}$) is ion implanted into the oxide layer, thereby causing the metal grain in the upper surface of the metal layer to become amorphous. Consequently, the grain size will be reduced and the rough surface of the metal layer flattened. However, the remainder of the metal layer beneath the upper surface thereof will still exhibit large grain size and low resistance, because the Argon ion is only implanted to characterized by a dual-sized grain structure which served to reduce interlayer stress, thereby decreasing the rate of stress migration, and to lower the resistivity of the metal line, thereby enhancing the electromigration characteristic thereof. Experiments have shown that the metal line exhibits a metal migration rate which is approximately 700% less than the control group and a standard deviation which is approximately 200% less than these group.p.

Migration properties of antidegradants to the surface in NR vulcanizates containing carbon black of 30, 50, and 70 phr were studied using the migration-generating equipment with a vacuum technique. The migration was carried out at 60, 80, and 100 ℃ for 20 h. BHT, IPPD, HPPD, and wax were used as migrants. IPPD migrates faster than the other migrants. Amounts of BHT, IPPD, and HPPD that migrated at 60 and 80 ℃ decrease as the content of carbon black in the vulcanizate increases. Migrations of antidegradants in the NR vulcanizate containing carbon black of 50 phr are faster than those containing carbon black of 30 and 70 phr at 100 ℃. Although n-C23H48 is heavier than HPPD, it migrates faster than HPPD and even faster than BHT at 100 ℃. Influencing factors of carbon black on the migrations are its porous structure and polar functional groups on the surface.

Using chlorophyll fluorescence, the vertical migration of benthic diatoms responding to light intensity and affected by sediment grain size was studied. Minimal fluorescence ($F_o$) of surface sediment was measured by imaging pulse amplitude modulated (Imaging-PAM) fluorometer, and used to monitor diatom biomass variation in surface sediments. The test diatoms, Amphora coffeaeformis (C. Agardh) K$\ddot{u}$tzing and Cylindrotheca closterium (Ehrenberg) Reimann & Lewin, migrated to the sediment surface under irradiance from 50 to 500 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$. However, the diatoms exhibited no evident increase of surface biomass under dark conditions, and even showed slightly decrease of surface biomass under irradiances over 1,000 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$. The light intensity inducing the maximum surface migration of A. coffeaeformis was 100 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$, while the light intensity producing the same effect for C. closterium was 250 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$. C. closterium showed higher motility than A. coffeaeformis. Faster diatom surfacing was observed in larger grain size sediments (125-335 ${\mu}m$) than smaller ones (63-125 ${\mu}m$). This study confirmed the significant influence of light as a main triggering factor behind migration, indicated the distinct effect of different sediment grain size, and highlighted the species-specific migratory ability.

In this study, the behavior of cells on the modified surface, and the correlation between the modified substrates and the response of cells is described. A close-packed layer of nano-sized silica beads was prepared on a coverslip, and the adhesion, proliferation, and migration of BALB/3T3 fibroblast cells on the silica layer was monitered. The 550 nm silica beads were synthesized by the hydrolysis and condensation reaction of tetraethylorthosilicate in basic solution. The amine groups were introduced onto the surfaces of silica particles by treatment with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. The close-packed layer of silica beads on the coverslip was obtained by the reaction of the amine-functionalized silica beads and the (3-triethoxysilyl)propylsuccinic anhydride treated coverslip. BALB/3T3 fibroblast cells were loaded on bare glass, APTMS coated glass, and silica bead coated glass with the same initial cell density, and the migration and proliferation of cells on the substrates was investigated. The cells were fixed and stained with antibodies in order to analyze the changes in the actin filaments and nuclei after culture on the different surfaces. The motility of cells on the silica bead coated glass was greater than that of the cells cultured on the control substrate. The growth rate of cells on the silica bead coated glass was slower than that of the control. Because the close-packed layer of silica beads gave an embossed surface, the adhesion of cells was very weak compared to the smooth surfaces. These results indicate that the adhesion of cells on the substrates is very important, and the actin filaments might play key roles in the migration and proliferation of cells. The nuclei of the cells were shrunk on the weakly adhered surfaces, and the S1 stage in which DNA is duplicated in the cell dividing processes might be retarded. As a result, the rate of proliferation of cells was decreased compared to the smooth surface of the control. In conclusion, the results described here are very important in the understanding of the interaction between implanted materials and biosystems.

The particle back transport velocity from the membrane surface were evaluated to determine the critical flux. Four kinds of back transport mechanisms were considered, i.e. back diffusion, shear induced migration, lateral migration, and interaction enhanced migration. The interaction enhanced migration caused by electrostatic repulsion between particles and membrane surface was found to be the most important mechanism of particle back transport for the charged particles of 0.1 ~10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter with 20 to 40 mV of zeta potential. Hematite particles with different sizes were synthesized with ferric chloride (FeCl$_3$) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) at high temperature, and subsequently experimental critical fluxes for each sized particle were obtained. The experimental results were well coincident with the calculated critical fluxes based on back transport mechanisms.

In order to estimate the average migration lengths of $H_3O^+$ ions in amorphous ice, we conducted experiments of reactive ion scattering (RIS), low energy sputtering (LES), and reflection absorption IR spectroscopy (RAIRS) with an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber. Dopped water-ice films were grown on the clean surface of Ru single crystal and analyzed with RIS, LES and RAIRS methods. The population changes of probe molecules, which were buried at a controlled distance from the surface, were monitored by those methods so that we can mesure the migration efficiencies. From the measured efficiencies, we evaluated the average migration lengths. This result is expected to give the information about the dynamics of proton in water-ice film.
