Self-oscillating chemical reactions are dynamical reaction-diffusion systems that show immense potential for designing synthetic soft materials with biomimetic functionalities. The Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction is one ...

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 ...

Endophytes are endosymbiotic fungi or bacteria that invade and colonize the plant tissue without harming their respective host. Since fungal endophytes live inside the host tissues, their effective isolation and identification ...

We use thermodynamic models and molecular simulations to show that liquid-density fluctuations near solid surfaces can affect the driving force for capillary-motion under non-isothermal conditions. The above is possible ...

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 ...
