In order to take advantage of the present technology in cellular phones and to enhance the presence of phone user in a remote location, the process of designing the MeBot is started. The MeBot is designed to be a semiautonomous ...

Fish populations often comprise the largest biomass in a productive marine ecosystem. They typically play an essential role in inter-trophic energy transport, and serve as a mainstay for human consumption comprising roughly ...

Peltier devices, also known as thermoelectric devices (TEDs), are solid state junctions of two dissimilar materials in which heat transfer and electrical conduction are coupled. A current running through a TED causes heat ...

The separate effects of surface wettability, porosity, and roughness on critical heat flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) were examined using carefully-engineered surfaces. All test surfaces were prepared on ...

Silk is a hierarchically structured protein fiber with exceptional tensile strength and extensibility, making it one of the toughest and most versatile biocompatible materials. While experimental studies have shown that ...
