Novel insights into the potential role of ion transport in sensory perception in Acanthamoeba
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Background: Acanthamoeba is well known to produce a blinding keratitis and serious brain infection known as encephalitis. Effective treatment is problematic, and can continue up to a year, and even then, recurrence can ...
Analysis of an Airfoil with Rotating Cylinder for Improved Performance
(2019-04)
Among the multiple techniques used for boundary-layer control and flow separation delay, moving surface boundary-layer control is one of the promising approaches. Adding a rotating cylinder is one means of enhancing the ...
Recent Advances in Femtosecond Laser-Induced Surface Structuring for Oil–Water Separation
(MDPI, 2019)
Femtosecond (FS) laser-induced surface structuring is a robust, maskless, non-contact, and single-step process for producing micro- and nanoscale structures on a material’s surface, which remarkably alters the optical, ...
Application of Quasi-Phase Matching Concept for Enhancement of High-Order Harmonics of Ultrashort Laser Pulses in Plasmas
(MDPI, 2019)
Novel methods of coherent short-wavelength sources generation require thorough analysis for their further amendments and practical implementations. In this work, we report on the quasi-phase matching (QPM) of high-order ...
