Development of new graphene/epoxy nanocomposites and study of cure kinetics, thermal and mechanical properties
(2020-12-01)
New graphene/polymer nanocomposites were prepared using graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and the epoxy system Epilok 60–566/Curamine 32–494. The GNPs were first dispersed into the curamine hardener using bath ultrasonication, ...
Exponential multistability of memristive Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with stochastic parameter perturbations
(2020-12-01)
Due to instability being induced easily by parameter disturbances of network systems, this paper investigates the multistability of memristive Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (MCGNNs) under stochastic parameter perturbations. ...
Calculation of critical speed from raw training data in recreational marathon runners
(2020-12-01)
INTRODUCTION: Critical speed (CS) represents the highest intensity at which a physiological steady state may be reached. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether estimations of CS obtained from raw training data can ...
Predicting mid-air gestural interaction with public displays based on audience behaviour
(2020-12)
Knowledge about the expected interaction duration and expected distance from which users will interact with public displays can be useful in many ways. For example, knowing upfront that a certain setup will lead to shorter ...
Vocem
(Music Haven, 2020-12-01)
Vocem is a musical composition published by Music Haven (December 2020) which explores a new concept of hyper-immersive music. Immersive sound is with us all the time as our ears receive sound from multiple sources and ...
Improving the corrosion resistance of MgZn1.2GdxZr0.18 (x =0, 0.8, 1.4, 2.0) alloys via Gd additions
(2020-12-01)
Effects of Gd addition on microstructure, corrosion behavior and mechanism of cast and extruded MgZn1.2GdxZr0.18 alloys are investigated through microstructure observation, weight loss and electrochemical tests. Increasing ...
Traditional Design Principles of a Groundwater Irrigation System in the Foothills of the Western Ghats of Southwest India
(2020-11-30)
This paper presents the traditional design principles of the suranga water harvesting system found in an area of semi-critical groundwater scarcity in the Dakshin Kannada district of Karnataka and Kasaragod district in ...
Synthesis and in silico modelling of the potential dual mechanistic activity of small cationic peptides potentiating the antibiotic novobiocin against susceptible and multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli
(2020-11-30)
Cationic antimicrobial peptides have attracted interest, both as antimicrobial agents and for their ability to increase cell permeability to potentiate other antibiotics. However, toxicity to mammalian cells and complexity ...
Transdisciplinary Research Priorities for Human and Planetary Health in the Context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
(2020-11-30)
Human health and wellbeing and the health of the biosphere are inextricably linked. The state of Earth’s life-support systems, including freshwater, oceans, land, biodiversity, atmosphere, and climate, affect human health. ...
