Globally agricultural production system generates a huge amount of solid waste. Improper
agri-waste management causes environmental pollution which resulted in economic losses …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential element required for the growth and development of all plants.
On a global scale, N is agriculture's most widely used fertilizer nutrient. Studies have shown …

Intermittent vagus nerve stimulation can reduce the frequency of seizures in patients with
refractory epilepsy. Stimulation of vagus nerve afferent fibers can also cause vocal cord …

The problem of sliding at a nonplanar grain boundary is considered in detail. The stress
field, and sliding displacement and velocity can be calculated at a boundary with a shape …

The kinetic problem of intergranular fracture at elevated temperatures by the nucleation and
growth of voids in the grain boundary is analysed in detail. Diffusional transport accounts for …

We show that yttrium‐stabilized zirconia can be sintered in a few seconds at∼ 850° C to full
density, starting from a green density of 0.5, by the application of a dc electrical field …

Flash-sintering is invariably accompanied by a highly non-linear rise in the specimen's
conductivity. Thus the specimen temperature rises above the furnace temperature. It is …

Graphene, an atomically thin two-dimensional material, has received significant attention
due to its extraordinary electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. Studies focused on …

A fracture initiation map is developed which should be useful in fast forming operations at
strain rates greater than about 10-3 s-1 at elevated temperatures. Two types of cavitation …

Freshwater resources are a high-priority issue in the Pacific region. Water shortage is a
serious problem in many small island states, and many depend heavily on rainwater as the …
