Dew condensation on desert beetle skin.

Some tenebrionind beetles inhabiting the Namib desert are known for using their body to collect water droplets from wind-blown fogs. We aim to determine whether dew water collection is also possible for desert insects. For this purpose, we investigated the infra-red emissivity, and the wetting and structural properties, of the surface of the elytra of a preserved specimen of Physasterna cribrip...

ansa - Metallocene derivatives XXIII * .

9 Titanocene and zirconocene complexes with a phenyl or I-naphthyl substituent in one ,B-position of each Cs-ring ligand and with an interannular tetramethylethanoor dimethylsilano-bridge have been prepared. Racemic complex isomers, which are formed together with varying amounts of their meso isomers, were separated from the latter and characterised by lH NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallogra...

Cloud-dew architecture

Users derive many benefits by storing personal data in cloud computing services; however the drawback of storing data in these services is that the user cannot access his/her own data when an internet connection is not available. To solve this problem in an efficient and elegant way, we propose the cloud-dew architecture. Cloud-dew architecture is an extension of the client-server architecture....
