Directional and gradient patterning from sub‐microliter colloidal droplet evaporation on inclined and stretched soft substrates

Droplet, EarlyView.
Instead of suppressing the ubiquitous “coffee‐ring” effect, we harness it by integrating stretching, inclination, and rotation of soft substrates. This sequential control allows manipulation of global pattern symmetry and local morphology. By incorporating substrate inclination and rotation of stretched soft substrates, we create diverse patterns that ...

Assessment of the effects of microwave‐produced biodiesel blends on electric generator performance and emissions

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiesels are emerging as alternatives to diesel fuel. However, to be a feasible solution, biodiesels must meet strict criteria including high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The current study focuses on evaluating ethyl ester biodiesel and its blends with diesel fuel to assess their potential.

Effects of hybrid metal oxide nanoparticles on the tribological and emission attributes of algae‐derived biofuel in compression ignition engines

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing demand for sustainable fuels has accelerated the development of algae‐derived biodiesel for compression‐ignition engines. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris methyl ester (AME) exhibited physicochemical properties comparable to diesel and satisfied ASTM D6751 fuel quality requirements, making it suitable for blending.

Theta oscillations, epileptogenesis, and focal seizures in rodent models of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Theta oscillations (4–12 Hz) are a prominent network rhythm within hippocampal and parahippocampal structures. Driven by cholinergic and γ‐aminobutyric acidergic inputs originating from the medial septum, physiological theta gates network excitability to control spatial navigation, memory encoding, and sensorimotor integration during specific ...
