The current study was aimed at developing BC-Cactus (BCC) composite hydrogels with impressive mechanical features for their potential applications in medical and environmental sectors.BCC composites hydrogels were developed through cactus gel coating on a never dried BC matrix.The FE-SEM micrographs confirmed the saturation of BC fibrils with cactu
The Mobile Crowd-sensing Network is a novel cyber−physical−social network which has received great attention recently and can be used as a powerful tool to monitor the phenomenon of the field of interest.Due to the limited budget, how to choose appropriate participants to maximize the coverage quality is one of the most Brain Health imp
Ride comfort is increasingly important for automobile companies due to the increasing concern of the demands of customers.Response to shock at low speed, such as single or consecutive pulse excitations from humps, are one of the greatest assessing indices of vehicle ride related to the ride comfort.This paper aims to study the effect of driveline b
For a vessel agitated by a Rushton turbine impeller, the efficacy of partial baffles was evaluated through examination of the liquid flow and impeller power characteristics.The bulk flow formed a pattern having circulation loops of different intensity and largeness depending on the baffle condition: the baffle length relative to the liquid depth fo
Sometimes called the giant strong-nosed stink Peg Racks bug, this very large (20 mm) predatory stink bug occurs in several row crops and preys on other insects, especially lepidopterous larvae.The stages in the life cycle are presented here so that they can be identified in Maytronics Dolphin Parts the field.This revised 3-page fact sheet was writt
