Understanding the flow behaviour of liquid jets discharging from orifices is essential for several applications such as fuel spraying, ink-jet printing, aerosol devices in pharmaceutical industries, micro-machined fuel ...

Rapid industrialization and expansion of urban landscapes in large cities generate maximum polluting ingredients to the surrounding environment. While organic contaminants are naturally occurring, the increase in human ...

We report the synthesis of monodispersed PDMS microspheres of tuneable modulus using a droplet-based microfluidics approach. Nevertheless, polymer microspheres can be used as a model representative particle to mimic the ...

The process of choosing a suitable hydrological model, calibrating it, and evaluating its performance poses intricate challenges for a modeler. The process of model selection is frequently influenced by the modeller's ...

Recently, the need for affordable point-of-care tests has grown exponentially. An ideal point of care (POC) test or device should satisfy the WHO-endorsed ASSURED criteria, meaning that the test/device should be accessible, ...

The Earth’s mantle constitutes 67% of its mass and despite mantle convection, it is geochemically and isotopically heterogeneous as evident from the compositions of mantle derived basaltic melts. It is a dynamic system ...

In recent decades, various human health impacts and environmental concerns (e.g., microplastic pollution, chemical exposure, biodiversity loss) associated with manufacturing/product life cycles have surfaced, threatening ...

Both scientifically and technologically, it is important to investigate the effects of electric current on the structural integrity of metallic components. As an electric current reverses its direction across a crack, ...

Suspensions are ubiquitous in nature and industry, ranging from magma, blood, and mud to cement, paint, and molten chocolate. Despite the Newtonian nature of the suspending fluid and the expectation of linearity in the ...

The variability of Indian monsoon on a range of timescales - seasonal to interannual to decadal - has been studied and characterised extensively over the past several decades. On the mechanistic front, the role ...
