2(a), is composed of a hexagonal close-packed array of cavities with diameter D = 1 [micro]m, gap distance between each triangle g = 100 nm, and depth h = 1 [micro]m.
Twelve aliquots of each pigment dispersion at 65% solids were centrifuged for 30 min at 12,000 RPM (~16,000g) to separate the pigment particles from the aqueous dispersion into a close-packed sediment.
The space left between the hexagonal close-packed cylindrical tubes of PCM allow for the flow of a propylene glycol solution HTF (heat transfer fluid), which is circulated through the containment tank to transfer thermal energy with the encapsulated PCM.
"We found that contracted blood clots develop a remarkable structure, with a meshwork of fibrin and platelet aggregates on the exterior of the clot and a close-packed, tessellated array of compressed polyhedral erythrocytes within," says Weisel.
Standard V2 inch (12.7mm) CPVC tubing was used for the encapsulation, since this tubing size fits tightly into the 4 inch (0.102m) PVC pipe in a hexagonal close-packed arrangement.
The reduction reaction progressed by adding the citric acid and a hexagonal close-packed (eCo) phase was formed, as shown in Figure 3(b).
In order to prepare the SEM specimens, the dilute PS nanosphere latex was spun-coated on the flat PET film thus forming a single-layered close-packed PS array at first.

In a boat skimming past red and black mangroves, close-packed, leaning over the brackish Rio Tempisque, where crocodiles swim, the scales down the middle of their backs breaking the water's murky surface like chains of floating rocks, I think of the Jungle Cruise in Disneyland, my father beside me when I was eight.
The Brightsen model builds on the early cluster models of the Resonating Group Structure of John Wheeler [2] and the Linus Pauling Close-Packed Spheron Model [3], which predict mathematically that the wave function of a composite nucleus can be viewed quantum mechanically as a combination of partial wave functions that correspond to the multiple ways nucleons (protons, neutrons) can be distributed into close-packed clusters, thus rejecting the standard model Hartree-Fock formalism of average field interactions between independent nucleons in nuclear shells.
