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. ...
Human operator performance is a key factor for proper operation of safety critical industries like process control, nuclear power plant and aviation. Several incident reports identify human error as one of the causes ...
In this article, we study the adsorption of protein ovalbumin (OVA) at corn oil (CO), soybean oil (SBO), olive oil (OO), and water interfaces along with the emulsification of these oils in water. The dynamic interfacial ...

To minimize human errors (principal reasons for accidents in process industries) it is imperative to understand their cognitive workload, the excess of which is often a preliminary state leading to human errors. In this ...
The adsorption of a molecule at the liquid–vapor interface is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by several processes occurring at the molecular scale. In this chapter, we focus on the role of density fluctuations at ...
This research paper presents an offline and online user defined priority driven multi-objective optimal control study of a bioprocess in a fed-batch reactor. Productivity and the amount of substrates used in the process ...
