چکیده
A three-member team designed to leverage the unique capabilities of the US Army, industry, and MIT, the ISN mission is to provide a dramatic increase in survivability to the individual Soldier through nanoengineered materials and devices incorporated within a lighter-weight uniform. This mission includes not only decreasing the weight that Soldiers carry, but also improving blast and ballistic protection, creating new methods of detecting and detoxifying chemical and biological threats, and providing physiological monitoring and automated medical intervention. The ultimate goal is to create a sleek 21st century battlesuit that combines high-tech capabilities with light weight and increased comfort.

متن کاملIsolation and morphological study of ecologically-important insect “Hermetia illucens” collected from Roorkee compost plant
Certain species of Hermetia illucens, also known as the Black Soldier Fly(BSF), were found in a compost plant in Roorkee located in Northern India. Its larvae arevoracious eaters of organic waste, hence can play an ecologically-important role in solidwaste management. Morphological analysis of various stages of BSF life cycle by SEMshowed that its body along with its wings is densely covered wi...
