We study cooperative phenomena in the fluctuation-induced forces between a surface and a system of neutral two-level quantum emitters prepared in a coherent collective state, showing that the total Casimir-Polder force on ...
Understanding thermodynamic stability relationship among polymorphs of any active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is a necessary step for drug formulation development. Knowledge of such relationship enables identification ...
The present report demonstrates the effects of three different binders on fabrication of Li4SiO4 pebbles by extrusion-spherodization technique. It is found that the nature of binders, concentrations and moisture content ...
Flood is among the deadliest disasters in India, and the frequency of floods and extreme precipitation events is projected to increase under the warming climate. The frequency of floods in India varies geographically as ...
Transverse correlations (TCs) denote the correlations between density-fluctuations along the plane parallel to a solid-liquid interface. We use molecular simulations to investigate the TCs in a model fluid near static 100, ...
In the present work, we investigate the effect of nanoparticle crystallite size and shape on the thermal, rheological and optical properties of low-cost copper oxide nanofluid. Nanofluids are prepared by suspending 0.3% ...
Butylated urea formaldehyde (BUF) is a key intermediate for manufacturing paint and coating. The quality of BUF resins can be measured in terms of the concentration of free formaldehyde in the BUF resins and the extent of ...
Abstract. Extreme precipitation events and flooding that cause losses to human lives and infrastructure have increased under the warming climate. In August 2018, the state of Kerala (India) witnessed large-scale flooding, ...
Curcumin is a potentially viable pharmaceutical ingredient obtained from the rhizome of a turmeric plant, Curcuma longa. It is a polyphenolic compound which is known to possess antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, ...
In this study, corn starch and ibuprofen are treated in Argon (Ar) plasma to enhance the wettability of the powders without using any additive or guest particle. The powder and pellets were exposed to the Ar plasma for ...
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) sheets possess an exclusive set of properties, including wide energy band gap, high optical transparency, high dielectric breakdown strength, high thermal conductivity, UV cathodoluminescence, ...

Hybridization of metal NPs with redox-switchable polymer supports not only mitigates their aggregation, but also introduces interfacial electron pathways desirable for catalysis and numerous other applications. The large ...
Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) Class II and IV drugs suffer from poor aqueous solubility and hence low bioavailability. Most of these drugs are hydrophobic and cannot be developed into a pharmaceutical ...
A combined cycle power plant (CCPP) is a complex system with a Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine and a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) working together. These three units work together and make the process highly interdependent. ...
