To have a sustainable product or service, product and service systems must equally satisfy all the three stakeholders of sustainability: people, planet and profit generated by the companies. However, if often not the case; ...

The effect of a linear adsorption isotherm on the onset of fingering instability in a miscible displacement in the application of liquid chromatography, pollutant contamination in aquifers, etc., is investigated. Such ...

Advances in pervasive and ubiquitous computing have resulted in the development of sensors that can be easily deployed in the natural habitat of a human to acquire activity related data. However, inferring meaningful ...

A benzimidazolium- and imidazolium-based trication was developed as a fluorescence probe for cysteine (Cys). The probe exhibits fluorescence responses to Cys in water with high selectivity and a nano-molar detection limit. ...

Ever since the introduction of the first epidemic model, scientists have tried extrapolating the damage caused by a contagious disease, given its spreading pattern in the premature stage. However, understanding epidemiology ...

Evolutionary robotics (ER) has emerged as a fast growing field in the last two decades and has earned the attention of a number of researchers. Principles of biological evolution are applied in the form of evolutionary ...

Ionic liquids (ILs) in combination with ether and siloxane substituents on the imidazolium cation, comprising of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (NTf2) anions, have been synthesized due to their low viscosities, ...

Heat and charge transport characteristics of nanocolloids have been bridged from fundamental analysis. The relationship between the two transport phenomena in dielectric nanostructure based polar colloids has been ...

A novel acid catalyzed regioselective Michael addition of o-phenylenediamine to vitamin K3 has been carried out to synthesize a dihydrobenzophenazine derivative viz. 6a-methyl-6a,7-dihydrobenzo[α]phenazin-5(6H)-one (1). ...

The ruthenium complex with (N,N,N-tris (benzimidazol-2yl-methyl)amine, L1 ) was prepared, and characterized. Fukui data were used to localize the reactive sites on the ligand. The structural and electronic properties ...
