Automated optical tweezers-based robotic manipulation of microscale objects requires real-time visual perception for estimating the states, i.e., positions and orientations, of the objects. Such visual perception is ...

We apply the center-of-mass versions of naïve mode coupling theory and nonlinear Langevin equation theory to study how short-range attractive interactions modify the onset of localization, activated single-particle dynamics, ...

Interparticle adhesion forces in fine powders are greatly influenced by varying relative humidity (RH) conditions. The present study estimated the interparticle adhesion forces developed in corn starch powder under humid ...

In this article, the method of separation of variables (SOV), as illustrated by Subramanian and White (J Power Sources 96:385, 2001), is applied to determine the concentration variations at any point within a three region ...

The discovery of graphene has led to a rising interest in seeking quasi two-dimensional allotropes of several elements and inorganic compounds. Boron, carbon’s neighbour in the periodic table, presents a curious case in ...

To enhance the life of jute geotextiles (JGTs) for road applications, new types of JGT fabrics were developed following two different routes, viz., (a) rot-proof treatment of 100% JGT fabric and (b) preparation of ...

Bubble column reactors are widely employed in various applications. Nowadays computational fluid dynamics (CFD) provides the state-of-the-art capabilities of simulating the hydrodynamics in these reactors. In the present ...

Background The flours are often unstable in relation to their flow performance which is evident when a free flowing material ceases to flow and the processing, handling, and production parameters depend on the inherent ...

The ability to exfoliate tightly bound layered ionic solids has vastly expanded the realm of 2D materials beyond graphene. A crucial step in such exfoliation strategies involves extraction of the inter-planar atoms holding ...

Evolution is a characteristic feature of living systems, and many fundamental processes in life, including the cell cycle, take place in a periodic fashion. From a chemistry perspective, these repeating phenomena suggest ...
