Surface mail travels over land or sea and is often cheaper than airmail due to lower operating costs. However, it takes longer to reach its destination and may have lower priority during loading and delivery. It is a good option for non-urgent or non-perishable items. Surface mail is a mail delivery system in which letters […]
Surface antigens are proteins on cell membranes that signal various biological processes. They can be used to detect diseases or organ transplant rejection. HBV antigens are released by viruses and can be used to diagnose disease. Different types of antigens can be found on immune cells and act as markers for different functions. Antigen tests […]
Surface micromachining is a process used to create integrated circuits and sensors with up to 100 layers of circuit patterns on a chip. It uses selected materials and wet and dry etching processes to form the layers. This process is used in motion sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and consumer electronics. The process uses crystalline silicon chip […]
Surface energy measurements analyze how molecules interact with each other on the surface of solids, liquids, and air. Adhesive and cohesive drives affect wetting behavior, and contact angle measurements are made with a goniometer. Surface energy measurements are used in the development of industrial and consumer products, such as polymer-coated metals and inks for lithography. […]
Body surface area (BSA) is an estimate of a person’s total surface area based on weight and height, used to determine medication dosage and assess kidney and heart health. BSA can provide a more accurate picture of fat deposits than BMI, but factors such as muscle mass and excess skin can affect results. Body surface […]
