Electrostrictive Polymers for Mechanical-to-Electrical Energy Harvesting [PDF]
Research of electrostrictive polymers has generated new opportunities for harvesting energy from the surrounding environment and converting it into usable electrical energy. Piezoelectric ceramic based devices have long been used in energy harvesting for

Humans, geometric similarity and the Froude number: is ''reasonably close'' really close enough? [PDF]
Summary Understanding locomotor energetics is imperative, because energy expended during locomotion, a requisite feature of primate subsistence, is lost to reproduction.

For every three people on the planet, there are approximately two Tonnes (Te) of plastic waste. We show that carbon recovery from polystyrene (PS) plastic is enhanced by the coaddition of solvents to grow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by liquid injection ...

Binding energy and specificity in the catalytic mechanism of yeast aldose reductases [PDF]
Derivatives of D-xylose and D-glucose, in which the hydroxy groups at C-5, and C-5 and C-6 were replaced by fluorine, hydrogen and azide, were synthesized and used as substrates of the NAD(P)H-dependent aldehyde reduction catalysed by aldose reductases isolated from the yeasts Candida tenuis, C. intermedia and Cryptococcus flavus.

Quantum theory for parametric interactions of light and hypersound [PDF]
The problem of energy exchange between two electro-magnetic modes of different frequencies and an acoustic mode is formulated and solved. The results of the quantum mechanical analysis are also analyzed in classical terms and are found to be consistent ...

A Survey of Application of Mechanical Specific Energy in Petroleum and Space Drilling
The optimization of drilling operations is an ongoing necessity since the major proportion of the terrestrial hydrocarbon reservoirs has been exhausted. Furthermore, there is a growing tendency among the space exploration agencies to drill the subsurface

Accurate Calculation Method for Mechanical Specific Energy of Horizontal Well
Abstract The existing drilling efficiency-monitoring model based on the theory of mechanical specific energy is only applicable to vertical wells. When it is used to monitor the drilling efficiency of horizontal wells, the impact of high friction in horizontal wells is not considered, so the monitored specific energy of the machine is ...
