This work presents a meta-analysis that compares the suitability of various parameters used to characterize wettability in tribological systems.It also examines the relationship between wettability and the friction factor for multiple lubricant-surface pairings.The characterization of wetting behavior was similar when using the contact angle betwee
Anatomy and ultrastructure of floral nectaries of Asphodelus aestivus Brot. (Asphodelaceae)
The structure of septal nectaries in Asphodelus aestivus flowers was investigated by using light microscopy (LM), scanning electron Eyeshadow Brushes microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (EM).It was found that the outlets of the three parts of the nectary were situated on the ovary surface at 2/3 of its height and had the shape of
Current Developments in Lignocellulosic Biomass Conversion into Biofuels Using Nanobiotechology Approach
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass (LB) to sugar is an intricate process which is the costliest part of the biomass conversion process.Even though acid/enzyme catalysts are usually being used for LB hydrolysis, enzyme immobilization has been recognized as a potential strategy nowadays.The use of nanobiocatalysts increases hydrolytic efficien
Universities Benevolent Financing: Identifying Requirements and Deviations (Case Study: Imam Sadiq (a.s.) University)
Aim: Universities can overcome unstable funds as a result of changes or diminished governmental financial resources by relying on benevolent funding.However, the optimal use of this depends on recognition of their probable requirements and potential deviations that despite its evident nature is usually unnoticed.Methodology: Due to the relatively s
