Biomimetic “Cactus Spine” with Hierarchical Groove Structure for Efficient Fog Collection
A biomimetic "cactus spine" with hierarchical groovestructure is designed and fabricated using simple electrospinning. This novel artificial cactus spine possesses excellent fog collection and water transportation ability. A model cactus equipped with artificial spines also shows a great water storage capacity. The results can be helpful in the development of water collectors and may make a con...
متن کاملSurface Activation of NiTi Alloy by Using Electrochemical Process for Biomimetic Deposition of Hydroxyapatite Coating (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Electrochemical depositions of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) film on NiTi alloy in concentrated simulated body flood (SBF×5) were carried out by cathodic polarization. The Ca-P layer was successfully deposited on Ni-Ti alloy substrate under 10mA/cm2 current density for 2 hours at room temperature. Then, in order to investigate the bioactivity of the pre-calcified samples, they were immersed in SBF f...
متن کاملThe South African fog-water collection experiment:
Recent experiments conducted in South America have indicated that fog is a potential source of domestic water in areas where advective clouds frequently move over the coastal mountain ranges. Advective and orographic clouds develop along the eastern escarpment of South Africa’s Northern Province when onshore pressure gradients develop to the east of the country. Four synoptic patterns associate...
متن کاملVertical Flux Divergence During Fog Deposition
According to field measurements carried out during the “Cloudand Aerosol Chemistry Experiment (CACHE)” project, Kowalski and Vong [1999] observed a persistent and significant divergence of the liquid water fluxes during fog events. This result encouraged us to carry out a field experiment in order to address the question whether their findings can be confirmed or not. During a measuring campaig...
متن کاملBacterial swimming motility enhances cell deposition and surface coverage.
The influence of bacterial motility on cell transport and deposition was investigated in a well-characterized radial stagnation point flow (RSPF) chamber. Deposition experiments were conducted with nonmotile (PA01 deltafliC deltapilA) and motile (PA01 deltapilA) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and oppositely (positively) charged modified quartz surfaces. Deposition dynamics ofthe two bacteri...
