The authors test the antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing properties of an extract created from a traditional Indian medicinal plant of the Amaranthus genus.
Read More...A comparative analysis of synthetic and natural fabrics
The authors test the durability of synthetic versus non-synthetic fabrics though loose thread counts, color fade over time, and shrinkage tests.
Read More...Effects of cleaning agents on bacterial growth on refrigerator surfaces
The authors test the effectiveness of various cleaning agents on refrigerator shelves.
Read More...Thermoelectric cooling in greenhouses: Implications for small-holder production
The authors set to test a system that would help with the dehumidification and overall management of greehouses.
Read More...Thermoelectric Power Generation: Harnessing Solar Thermal Energy to Power an Air Conditioner
The authors test the feasibility of using thermoelectric modules as a power source and as an air conditioner to decrease reliance on fossil fuels. The results showed that, at its peak, their battery generated 27% more power – in watts per square inch – than a solar panel, and the thermoelectric air conditioner operated despite an unsteady input voltage. The battery has incredible potential, especially if its peak power output can be maintained.
