Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) are a source of renewable energy and are used for both industrial and domestic purposes.The study of noise characteristics of a VAWT is an important performance parameter for the turbine.This study focuses on the development of a linear microphone array and measuring acoustic signals on a cambered five-bladed 45 W
Emerging natural hemp seed proteins and their functions for nutraceutical applications
With changing dietary habits and increasing awareness of the nutraceutical role of dietary foods, the demand for natural plant proteins and interest in non-traditional protein sources in the food industry are increasing.Industrial hemp, belonging to the plant family Cannabaceae, is cultivated for its fibre and edible seeds.Due to its nutritional va
Effects of Environmental Enrichment on Exposure to Human-Relevant Mixtures of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Zebrafish
Fish models used for chemical exposure in toxicological studies are normally kept in barren tanks without any structural environmental enrichment.Here, we tested the combined effects of environmental enrichment and exposure to two mixtures of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in zebrafish.Firstly, we assessed whether developmental exposure to a
A modified technique for retention of orbital prosthesis
An orbital defect (congenital or acquired) causes severe facial asymmetry and disfigurement, which results in psychological and social disturbances to the patient.It becomes a challenging task for a maxillofacial prosthodontist BODY WASH FOREST to fabricate a prosthesis that replicates the healthy side of the face.Success of the prosthesis depends
