The wettability of a solid surface is often characterized by the contact angle of liquid on the solid surface. The wettability is pertinent to surface energy, which is an important parameter. The wettability can be affected, for example, by the roughness of the solid surface. In our work textiles are used as macroscopic roughness surfaces, and smooth plate surfaces are used as well to determine surface energies. For the calculation of surface energies it is fundamental to know the contact angle. The advancing and receding contact angles are measured, and the relation between the hysteresis and surface energy is monitored.

Concentrating models of the renal inner medulla can be classified according to external free-energy balance into passive models (positive values) and models that require an external energy source (negative values). Here we introduce an online computational tool that implements the equations of Stephenson and colleagues (Stephenson JL, Tewarson RP, Mejia R. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 71: 1618–1622, 1974) to calculate external free-energy balance at steady state for the inner medulla ( http://helixweb.nih.gov/ESBL/FreeEnergy ). Here “external free-energy balance” means the sum of free-energy flows in all streams entering and leaving the inner medulla. The program first assures steady-state mass balance for all components and then tallies net external free-energy balance for the selected flow conditions. Its use is illustrated by calculating external free-energy balance for an example of the passive concentrating model taken from the original paper by Kokko and Rector (Kokko JP, Rector FC Jr. Kidney Int 2: 214–223, 1972).
