The deposition of particulate matter (PM) on PV surfaces reduces energy generation, which results in huge losses to the PV industry. Hydrophobic coatings are known to reduce PM deposition on PV surfaces. Covering panels ...

The optical transmittance loss (OTL) of glass coupons is frequently used to estimate the soiling losses of solar PVs. The soiling loss estimation methodologies (SLEMs) and selection range of wavelengths for OTL evaluation ...

Multicomponent wastewater treatment utilising simple and cost-effective materials and methods is an important research topic. This study has reported the fabrication and utilisation of graphene oxide (GO) embedded granular ...

Chitosan (CH)-based hydrogels have been extensively researched in numerous biological applications, including drug delivery, biosensing, wound healing, and tissue engineering, to name a few. Previously, modified CH hydrogels ...

The distributed control system architecture strikes a balance between the decentralized control system architecture, where subsystem interactions are unaccounted for, and the computationally expensive centralized control ...

Self-sustained locomotion of synthetic droplet swimmers has been of great interest due to their ability to mimic the behavior of biological swimmers. Here we harness the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction to induce Marangoni ...

Hydrogels have long been developed for a plethora of applications such as soft electronics, energy storage, the development of actuators, sensors, and, most importantly, biomedical applications. The biomedical applications ...

Cationic helical peptides play a crucial role in applications such as anti-microbial and anticancer activity. The activity of these peptides directly correlates with their helicity. In this study, we have performed extensive ...

This study exploits higher-order micellar transition ranging from ellipsoidal to rodlike to wormlike induced by 1-octanol (C8OH) in an aqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), characterizing phase behavior, ...
