A Critical, Nonlinear Threshold Dictates Bacterial Invasion and Initial Kinetics During Influenza.

abstract：:This paper reports on 3D phase field simulations of IMC growth in Co/Sn and Cu/Sn solder systems. In agreement with experimental micrographs, we obtain uniform growth of the CoSn3 phase in Co/Sn solder joints and a non-uniform wavy morphology for the Cu6Sn5 phase in Cu/Sn solder joints. Furthermore, simulations were p...
