Wind speed is the major factor in generating power a wind turbine. However, due to non-optimum and redundant design of turbine blades, not nearly enough captured for utilization. In present study, modifications were done on leading edge HAWT blade using tubercles showing their effects aerodynamic performances. From this research, following results found concerning performances with leading-edge...

Hexameric hemoprotein (HTHP) is employed as a scaffold protein for the supramolecular assembly and activation of apoptotic signalling enzyme caspase-9, using short DNA elements modular recruitment domains. Caspase-9 on HTHP platform due to enhanced proximity followed by combinatorial inhibition at high concentrations. The domains allow reversible switching caspase-9 activity state modulatory st...

Biological systems serve as fundamental sources of inspiration for the development of artificially colored devices, and their investigation provides a great number of photonic design opportunities. While several successful biomimetic designs have been detailed in the literature, conventional fabrication techniques nonetheless remain inferior to their natural counterparts in complexity, ease of ...

Tapered composite poles with biomimicry features as in bamboo are a new generation of wood laminated composite poles that may some day be considered as an alternative to solid wood poles that are widely used in the transmission and telecommunication fields. Five finite element models were developed with ANSYS to predict and assess the performance of five types of composites members: a tapered h...

Silk has enormous potential as a next-generation material: it is a biopolymer spun from protein at ambient temperature and pressure, and the best spider silks are as strong as steel and tougher than Kevlar. Because of its green production, mechanical robustness, and biocompatibility, silk has been studied for use in a range of engineering and biomedical applications. However, despite exciting r...

In this paper, we explain the social foraging behavior of E. coli and M. xanthus bacteria and develop simulation models based on the principles of foraging theory that view foraging as optimization. This provides us with novel models of their foraging behavior and with new methods for distributed nongradient optimization. Moreover, we show that the models of both species of bacteria exhibit the...
