The fishing behaviour of Metopograpsus messor (Decapoda: Grapsidae) and the use of pneumatophore-borne vibrations for prey-localizing in an arid mangrove setting
( Cambridge University Press , 2019 , Article)This study presents the first documented observations of a brachyuran crab's proactive fishing behaviour in conjunction with mangrove pneumatophores which are employed as prey-localization devices. All ecological data were ... -
Flavin Oxidase-Induced ROS Generation Modulates PKC Biphasic Effect of Resveratrol on Endothelial Cell Survival.
( MDPI , 2019 , Article)Dietary intake of natural antioxidants is thought to impart protection against oxidative-associated cardiovascular diseases. Despite many in vivo studies and clinical trials, this issue has not been conclusively resolved. ... -
Flavonoids in hypertension: a brief review of the underlying mechanisms.
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)Flavonoids are a diverse group of bioactive polyphenolic compounds abundant in dietary plants and herbs. Regular consumption of flavonoids exerts cardio-vasculoprotective effects and may reduce the onset or progression of ... -
Flexible NO2 sensors from renewable cellulose nanocrystals/iron oxide composites
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)A bio-friendly nanostructured cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) sheet with iron oxide grown on it acting as a nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensor was fabricated by hydrothermal method. The structural investigation was done to ... -
Flexible oil sensors based on multiwalled carbon nanotube-filled isoprene elastomer composites
( Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society , 2016 , Article)Oil Spills Due To Either Accidents Or Deliberate Oily Discharges Cause Severe Pollution And Can Be Thwarted If Proper Detection Facilities Are Applied. This Article Reports New Flexible Oil Sensor Capabilities Of Three ... -
Flexible thermo-electrochemical cells using Iodolyte HI-30 for conversion of low-grade heat to electrical energy
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)In this research work, we investigated the flexible thermo-electro chemical cells (TECs) for the conversion of low-grade heat into electrical energy in the temperature range of 20–70 °C. The TECs were fabricated using 30 ... -
Flexible ultra-sensitive and resistive NO2 gas sensor based on nanostructured Zn(X)Fe(1- x)2O4
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2018 , Article)Low concentration gas detection, rapid response time and low working temperature are anticipated for a varied range of toxic gas detection applications. Conversely, the existing gas sensors suffer mostly from a high working ... -
Flexible, biodegradable and recyclable solar cells: a review
( Springer New York LLC , 2019 , Article)Solar energy is conceivably the largest source of renewable energy at our disposal, but vital advances are expected to make solar cells economically viable. Biodegradable and flexible solar cells are currently under extensive ... -
Flocculation and viscoelastic behavior of industrial papermaking suspensions
( Springer New York LLC , 2016 , Article)The effects of the surface charge type and density C496, C492 and A130LMW polyacrylamides (PAMs) on the rheological behavior of real industrial papermaking suspensions were quantitatively related to the degree of flocculation ... -
Flow mapping of multiphase flows using a novel single stem endoscopic particle image velocimetry instrument
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2011 , Conference Paper)Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a successful flow mapping technique which can optically quantify large portions of a flow regime. This enables the method to be completely non-intrusive. The ability to be non-intrusive ... -
Fluid Flow Characteristics of Healthy and Calcified Aortic Valves Using Three-Dimensional Lagrangian Coherent Structures Analysis
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Aortic valve calcification is an important cardiovascular disorder that deteriorates the accurate functioning of the valve leaflets. The increasing stiffness due to the calcification prevents the complete closure of the ... -
Fluid-rock interactions in tight gas reservoirs: Wettability, pore structural alteration, and associated multiphysics transport
