Vortex-induced vibration harvesters are usually equipped with small piezoelectric patches mounted near the cantilever clamp, where the largest longitudinal stress occurs.This paper, aiming to improve energy harvesting performance, investigates the Diapers possibilities of extending the patch length and modifying the length and mass of a bluff body
Direct recycling of machine chips through a novel solid-state additive manufacturing process
Recycling of metal waste for feedstock material in additive manufacturing (AM) is typically carried out through energy extensive melting and solidification processing techniques.However, People Art in austere environments, energy production can be limited and thus melting down scrap into powder through an atomization process is not a viable approac
The effects of coloniality and international development assistance on Made in Africa Evaluation: Implications for a decolonised evaluation agenda
Background: It is imperative to recognise the effects of the intrinsically Eurocentric development agenda on attaining transformative evaluation that appropriately addresses development priorities in Africa.The role of international development agencies as critical anchors in African evaluation practice needs examination to advance Twin Sleigh Head
Effect of Sea Salt and Taro Waste on Fungal Mortierella alpina Cultivation for Arachidonic Acid-Rich Lipid Production
Arachidonic acid (ARA), an important polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), acts as a precursor for eicosanoid hormones, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes and other biological substances in human and animal bodies.Mortierella alpina is considered to be a potential strain for ARA production.Using agricultural waste as a substrate for microbial fermen
A Review of Zoonotic Babesiosis as an Emerging Public Health Threat in Asia
Zoonotic babesiosis poses a serious health risk in many parts of the world.Its emergence in Asia is thus a cause for significant concern, demanding that appropriate control measures are implemented to suppress its spread in this Iowa region.This study focuses on zoonotic Babesia species reported in Asia, offering an extensive review of those specie
