Some members of genus Cassia (Senna): Their Ethnobotany, Potency and Prospects of Drug discovery
(mansapublishers, 2023-04-04)
Plants from Cassia species have been used traditionally all over the world in the treatment of various diseases. Various compounds with diverse bioactivities have been isolated from the Cassia species. However, this has ...
Agricultural pesticides do not suppress infection of Biomphalaria (Gastropoda) by Schistosoma mansoni (Trematoda)
(Cold spring harbor laboratory, 2023-02-15)
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by trematodes of the genus
Schistosoma. The pathogen is transmitted via freshwater snails. These snails indirectly
benefit from agricultural pesticides which affect ...
Robust Arduino controlled spin coater using a novel and simple gravity chuck design
(Elsevier, 2023-06)
Spin coaters offer an invaluable method of thin film fabrication. Various implementations, both proprietary and open-source exist, offering vacuum and gravity samples chucks. These implementations vary in their reliability, ...

Mechanical Properties of Al–Mg–Si Alloys (6xxx Series): A DFT-Based Study
(MDPI, 2023-09-13)
Al–Mg–Si alloys are used in aircraft, train, and car manufacturing industries due to their advantages, which include non-corrosivity, low density, relatively low cost, high thermal and electrical conductivity, formability, ...
Acoustics of Compressed Earth Blocks Bound Using Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Water Hyacinth Ash
(MDPI, 2023-07-15)
Mechanical compaction is often used to densify building earth blocks by reducing the void between the particles. Compacted stabilised earth involves a binder, which holds the particles of the materials together. The ...
Ultrasonic propagation in fractal porous material having rigid frame
(X ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Smart Structures and Materials, 2023-07-03)
This paper discusses the impact of the fractal structure of porous materials on wave
behavior. In addition to commonly used parameters such as porosity, tortuosity, viscous and
thermal characteristic lengths, a fractal ...
