Left Footplate While engineers put lots of effort, resources, and time in building insect scale micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) that fly like insects, insects themselves are the real masters of flight.What if we would use living insect as platform for MAV instead? Here, we reported a flight control via electrical stimulation of a flight muscle of an i
Narrow genetic base and complex allotetraploid genome of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is stimulating efforts to avail required polymorphism for marker based breeding.The availability of draft genome sequence of G.raimondii and G.arboreum and next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies facilitated the development of high-throughput marker techno
We report a numerical study of a broadband metamaterial absorber in visible light region by utilizing a single layer of metal-dielectric-metal configuration.The absorption bandwidth and absorption performances are tailored by varying the resonator shapes and metal materials.The absorption bandwidth of the proposed metamaterial absorber (MA) structu
Colloidal stability as well as physicochemical and rheological properties are among the critical determinants of the sensory quality of beverages.The present study investigated the effects of lecithin, xanthan gum, propylene glycol alginate, and their combinations on the colloidal stability and physicochemical/rheological properties of a model pean
