Chemosensors are molecular systems that interact with particular target species to generate an analytically useful signal. For instance, the optical chemosensors interact with analytes resulting a change in optical properties ...
The human brain is a predictive machine (Clark, 2013), and it is well established in psycholinguistics
that it routinely and inherently predicts upcoming words during realtime
sentence comprehension. some central questions ...
The solar pond is a radiation collecting and storing device used for low to medium-scale thermal applications. It traps the radiation either because of the halocline or any other method suppressing the natural convection ...
Domination and its variations are widely studied graph optimization problems. In a graph
G = (V;E), a set D V is called a dominating set if every vertex not in D has a neighbour
in D. The MI N IMUM D OMI NAT I O N ...
Metallicity is a critical factor in determining a material's suitability for interconnect applications. In case of shrinkage in cross-sectional dimensions, interconnect performance is severely impacted. More than half of ...
In recent years, there has been an increase in the applications of multispectral images
(MSIs) in different domains. However, the adoption of MSIs in the real world has been
constrained primarily because current multispectral ...
Changing climatic conditions is one of the biggest challenges to species persistence
and biodiversity maintenance. Numerous biodiversity hotspots are expected to fear
unprecedented rises in temperatures in the near future. ...
The phenomenon of evaporation-induced self-assembly inspires the co ee-ring phenomena,
in which a drying co ee droplet creates a ring-like pattern on the surface. On
the nano or microscale, the majority of surfaces, ...
There are an estimated 39 million blind persons globally, and around one-third are in
India. The accessibility of education is a critical concern for Blind and Visually Impaired
People (BVIP). Rarely do Blind and Visually ...
Monel K-500 is a nickel-based alloy having excellent mechanical and anti-corrosive properties.
It is widely used in power generation turbines, aircraft, springs and fasteners for the marine industry, components for chemical ...
Post-quantum cryptography is a branch of cryptography aimed at designing secure
conventional cryptographic systems against an adversary having access to quantum
computers. Works in this area span from theoretical analysis ...
Fingering instabilities are ubiquitous in porous media flows like enhanced oil recovery,
contaminant transport in aquifers to name a few. Fingering instabilities are observed
when the fluid-fluid interface deforms into ...
The skin is the first protective layer against the external environment of the body. The body's largest organ, the skin, plays a crucial role in everyday biological and social life. The skin controls the interference of ...
The enormous success of crowdsourced portals such as Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, Quora and
GitHub has motivated researchers to discern the underlying dynamics of knowledge-building
and collective intelligence on these ...
Organochalcogen compounds have been widely studied as they often exhibit biological
activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, and antioxidant. More specifically, the
chalcogenocyanates and chalcogenated ethers are ...
The growth of crowdsourced knowledge-building portals such as Wikipedia, Quora, and
Stack Exchange has been explosive in recent years, as evidenced by the enormous amounts
of knowledge the portals currently possess. ...
The human skeleton experiences a wide range of strain rates during various activities and events. The mechanical response of bone considerably depends on the rate of applied loading. Though various studies are available ...
Cutting fluids are generally used during the conventional turning process to provide lubrication and
flushing of chips from the cutting zone. However, cutting fluids cost around 16-20% of total production
cost apart from ...
The aggressive scaling of on-chip interconnects leads to a significant increase in coupling
capacitance. This causes crosstalk effects, especially for technology nodes at the end of the
roadmap. In addition, surface ...
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are widely used in soft robotics as they are flexible,
light weight, resembles natural muscle, induce large strain, have high energy density and
quick response time. The DEA is a ...
