Printable Carbon‐Based Thermogalvanic Cells
The performance of printable active carbon as the electrodes of thermogalvanic cells is investigated. The maximum output power can be doubled by multilayer printing of the electrode, which reduces the internal resistance of the cell. Thermogalvanic cells (TGCs) can convert low‐grade heat directly into electricity through reversible redox reactions ...

Investigation of Bacterial Contamination of Liquid Soaps Used in Public Restroom
Handwashing with soap is an important practice to reduce the transmission of potentially pathogenic microorganisms, but liquid soaps with refillable dispensers are prone to extrinsic bacterial con-tamination.

Manganese and Iron Catalysts in Alkyd Paints and Coatings
Many paint, ink and coating formulations contain alkyd-based resins which cure via autoxidation mechanisms. Whilst cobalt-soaps have been used for many decades, there is a continuing and accelerating desire by paint companies to develop alternatives for ...

A viscous compressible model of soap film flow and its equivalence with the Navier-Stokes equations [PDF]
We present a quasi-two dimensional model of flowing soap films that bears striking similarity to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The variation in soap film thickness that is commonly used for flow visualization in experiments is analogous to density variations in the Navier-Stokes equations.

SOAP 2.0: A tool to estimate the photometric and radial velocity variations induced by stellar spots and plages [PDF]
This paper presents SOAP 2.0, a new version of the SOAP code that estimates in a simple way the photometric and radial velocity variations induced by active regions. The inhibition of the convective blueshift inside active regions is considered, as well as the limb brightening effect of plages, a quadratic limb darkening law, and a realistic spot and ...

The glocalised telenovela as a space for possible identifications for diaspora girls in Northern Belgium: an audience cum content analysis of Sara [PDF]
Because research on glocalised telenovelas in Western Europe is absent in literature and telenovelas seem highly popular among diaspora girls from Moroccan descents living in Northern Belgium, this paper studies the embedded themes and identification ...

Hindered cracking in colloidal suspension coatings via evaporation‐driven lyotropic liquid crystals
Abstract We demonstrate that lyotropic liquid crystalline (LC) phases, formed by the molecular interactions between 1‐glyceryl monooleyl ether (GME) and water, offer new pathways for producing crack‐free particulate films from colloidal suspensions. Drying experiments on titanium dioxide‐ethanol‐water‐GME suspension systems revealed a 15‐fold increase ...

Investigation of the formation process of soap bubbles from soap film [PDF]
In this paper, we study the formation process of a soap bubble by blowing soap film. Both bubble diameter and formation position were investigated in experiments. We found that the ratio between bubble size and soap film column is constant, and that the formation position increases linearly within a critical length-range. We used the theory of Rayleigh-
