Keeping in view the conservation of natural resources, the power generation from the solar photovoltaic system is increasing day by day to meet the demand of energy worldwide. There are constraints of availability of space for ground mounted solar PV system for large installations. In some countries water bodies are being utilized to install solar PV system to reduce land use. Few floating syst...

there exists compelling evidence that toll-like receptor 3 (tlr3) agonists can directly affect human cancer cells. the aim of this study was to investigate anti-cancer effects of tlr3 agonist in human breast cell line. we assessed potential effects of poly (a:u) on human breast cell line (mda-mb-231)  on a dose-response and time-course  basis. human breast cell line  mda-mb-231  was treated wit...

introduction: a limited number of studies have evaluated factors influencing the retention of fixed prostheses cemented to implant abutments. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of varying degrees of screw access channel obturation on retention of implant-supported cast fixed restorations. materials  & methods: in this experimental study, 40 implant abutments with a diameter of 4.5 ...

soil compaction is a major problem in many parts of the world. the determination of soil compaction profiles requires fast sampling systems to keep pace with the change in soil moisture condition over time. soil cone penetrometers are commonly used for this purpose. a tractor-mounted soil cone penetrometer was designed and fabricated with multiple probes and the ability to determine cone index ...

Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) (PVA) films were prepared with AlCl3·6H2O/glycerin and AlCl3·6H2O/poly glycerin as two kinds of complex plasticizer. The micromorphology of pure PVA film and PVA films plasticized with complex plasticizer was observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The interaction between complex plas...
