National Systems of Innovation: Creating High Technology Industries
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2006)In an era of globalisation, a lively debate has raged over the continued importance of a firm's national base. National Systems of Innovation cuts a swathe through this enduring debate and confirms that in this technological ... -
Natural and synthetic superhydrophobic surfaces: A review of the fundamentals, structures, and applications
(Elsevier, 2023-02-02)Self-cleaning surfaces are nature-inspired and based on the surface processes occurring on butterfly wings and lotus leaves. Owing to their unique characteristics, they are usable in a number of industrial applications, ... -
Natural convection of CuO-water nanofluid in a conventional oil/water separator cavity: Application to combined-cycle power plants
(Elsevier, 2021-03-01)The oily water from various sources in combined cycle power plants is collected in oil/water separator in which the oil separates from water due to the density difference. The idea of the presented geometry is taken from ... -

Nature inspired hierarchical structures in nano-cellular epoxy/graphene-Fe3O4 nanocomposites with ultra-efficient EMI and robust mechanical strength
(Elsevier, 2021-08)Hierarchical layered structures, whether in a compact form like nacre or a porous manner like bone, are well known for their combined features of high stiffness, strength, and lightweight, inspiring many man-made materials ... -
Near infrared spectrometric investigation of lactate in a varying pH buffer
(SAGE, 2020-03-31)Lactic acidosis is commonly observed in various disease states in critical care and can be adopted as a hemodynamic biomarker, as well as a target for therapy. pH is the main biomarker for the diagnosis of acid–base disorders ... -
Near Infrared Spectrometric Investigations on the behaviour of Lactate.
(2019-07)In patients with life-threatening illnesses, the metabolic production and disposal of lactate are impaired, which leads to a build-up of blood lactate. In critical care units, the changes in lactate levels are measured ... -
Neural network potential-based molecular investigation of pollutant formation of ammonia and ammonia-hydrogen combustion
(Elsevier BV, 2024-04)This study developed neural network potentials (NNPs) specifically designed for ammonia and ammonia-hydrogen combustion systems for the first time. The NNPs were employed to perform reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) ... -
New Bioengineering Breakthroughs and Enabling Tools in Regenerative Medicine.
(2017)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this review, we provide a general overview of recent bioengineering breakthroughs and enabling tools that are transforming the field of regenerative medicine (RM). We focus on five key areas that are ... -
A new concept for smart drug delivery: adhesion induced nanovector implosion.
(2008-05-14)In this paper we show that controlling adhesion in highly flexible nanovectors can help in smartly delivering the drug. The high flexibility of the nanovector is used to smartly deliver the drug only at the target site by ...
