Though there has been significant progress in research related to microbial fuel cells (MFCs), there are still a number of challenges that need to be overcome in order to commercialize this technology. There is a need to ...
Hierarchical multiscale modeling and simulations are conducted to study heat transfer between nano-alumina powder and noble gases. The noble gases considered in this study are helium, argon, and xenon. Density functional ...
Objectives:The present work aimed to investigate the deformation behavior of complex ant mound architectures under compression. Methods: We have used the cement casting method to extract four different ant nest morphologies. ...
Reverse osmosis followed by distillation is commonly used to recycle fresh water and concentrated brine in the textile dyeing industry to achieve zero liquid discharge. The chemistry of industrial effluents is governed by ...
Distillation across an air gap is implemented in several novel small-scale desalination technologies such as air gap distillation and multi-effect solar stills. These systems achieve better energy efficiency than simple ...
Controlled microscale transport is at the core of many scientific and technological advancements, including medical diagnostics, separation of biomolecules, etc., and often involves complex fluids. One of the challenges ...

The human ankle joint interacts with the environment during ambulation to provide mobility and maintain stability. This association changes depending on the different gait patterns of day-to-day life. In this study, we ...
Event-driven intermittent feedback control is a form of feedback control in which the corrective control action is only initiated intermittently when the variables of interest exceed certain threshold criteria. It has been ...
Recalling the age old adage "The First Man through the Wall is Always Bloody". A first attempt is made gauge the unsolved problem of sustaining world peace from various point of views. The author assumes some quote unquote ...
Crazy or insane people are also human and possess the same level of human rights as us, classified as "normal humans". The present paper, is a personal account of the author's stay in a mental hospital for mood disorder ...
The property of system invertibility is important both from a theoretical standpoint and an important consideration in left and right inversion problems that deal with input estimation and tracking control respectively. ...
In many educational institutes and industries, the contact angle and surface tension analysis are done to measure the quality of a solid surface and of a liquid. In order to determine these, the sessile and pendant droplet ...
Since the time of Van Gogh to Einstein, bipolar disorder has been a problem to mankind. Now Valprol is the preventative medicine that somehow regulates the mood disorder of highs and lows. But the paper proposes the fact ...
Employing a consistency in personality argument, one arrives at a Godlike personality resemblance in mortal men to the ones described in holy books. However, not stopping at this context this paper is probably a first ...
To create a free world devoid of error, we must reconcile religion and science. For this is the only old enemies which is one of the oldest problems since time immemorial. To achieve world peace, it is a necessary part of ...
An endothermic solvation reaction coupled with a solar-thermal crystallizer has been proposed as a renewable-energy-driven cooling solution in a recent issue of Energy and Environmental Science. We highlight some challenges ...
Reduction of fluid-solid friction utilizing the phenomenon of hydrodynamic slippage underlies a variety of energy-saving innovations. For simple demonstration of such ideas, the flow is often assumed to take place over a ...
