Nonlinear MEMS Mechanism for Energy Harvesting from Mechanical Vibrations

open access: yes, 2011
The aim of this paper is the realization of a novel bistable U-shaped micro-electro-mechanical system to efficiently harvest energy from ambient vibrations. The classical approach is based on vibrating mechanical bodies (linear systems) that allow for collecting energy through the adoption of smart materials, magnetic or electrostatic solutions.

Metformin promotes mitochondrial integrity through AMPK‐signaling in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Metformin mediates mitochondrial quality control in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) fibroblasts carrying mtDNA mutations. At therapeutic levels, metformin activates AMPK signaling to restore mitochondrial dynamics by promoting fusion and restraining fission, while preserving mitochondrial mass, enhancing autophagy/mitophagy and biogenesis ...

Post-harvest quality of fresh-marketed tomatoes as a function of harvest periods

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2005
Losses on tomato business chain start at harvest, a two-months period. At the beginning of the harvest, fruits concentrate at the basal part of the plant, then in the middle, and finally at the top, and undergo changes in diameter and maturity indexes as

The Effect of Foliar Calcium Spraying on Changes in the Mechanical Properties of Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

open access: yesAgriculture
One of the methods used to improve the durability of blueberry fruits is the application of nutrients through foliar feeding with calcium, which can improve the post-harvest mechanical parameters. This study proposed an optimal selection of calcium spray

Techno-economic Efficiency of Trunk and Mechanical Harvest Aid Shakers for Harvesting Olive Fruits in Guilan Province, Iran [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agricultural Management and Development, 2016
The main concern of an olive grower is primarily to achieve more income and profits. A harvesting method having higher efficiency and better fruit and oil quality, but a higher operation cost leads to a lower benefit.
