Mini-LED and Micro-LED: Promising Candidates for the Next Generation Display Technology
Tập 8 Số 9 - Trang 1557
Displays based on inorganic light-emitting diodes (LED) are considered as the
most promising one among the display technologies for the next-generation. The
chip for LED display bears similar features to those currently in use for
general lighting, but it size is shrunk to below 200 microns. Thus, the
advantages of high efficiency and long life span of conventional LED chips are
inherited by minia...
The Impact of Drought in Plant Metabolism: How to Exploit Tolerance Mechanisms to Increase Crop Production
Tập 10 Số 16 - Trang 5692
Plants are often exposed to unfavorable environmental conditions, for instance
abiotic stresses, which dramatically alter distribution of plant species among
ecological niches and limit the yields of crop species. Among these, drought
stress is one of the most impacting factors which alter seriously the plant
physiology, finally leading to the decline of the crop productivity. Drought
stress cause...
Wavelet Transform Application for/in Non-Stationary Time-Series Analysis: A Review
Tập 9 Số 7 - Trang 1345
Non-stationary time series (TS) analysis has gained an explosive interest over
the recent decades in different applied sciences. In fact, several decomposition
methods were developed in order to extract various components (e.g., seasonal,
trend and abrupt components) from the non-stationary TS, which allows for an
improved interpretation of the temporal variability. The wavelet transform (WT)
has ...
A Review of the Potential Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Options for European Viticulture
Tập 10 Số 9 - Trang 3092
Viticulture and winemaking are important socioeconomic sectors in many European
regions. Climate plays a vital role in the terroir of a given wine region, as it
strongly controls canopy microclimate, vine growth, vine physiology, yield, and
berry composition, which together determine wine attributes and typicity. New
challenges are, however, predicted to arise from climate change, as grapevine
cul...
Observation of Potential Contaminants in Processed Biomass Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
Tập 10 Số 12 - Trang 4345
With rapidly increased interests in biomass, diverse chemical and biological
processes have been applied for biomass utilization. Fourier transform infrared
(FTIR) analysis has been used for characterizing different types of biomass and
their products, including natural and processed biomass. During biomass
treatments, some solvents and/or catalysts can be retained and contaminate
biomass. In addi...
Graphene Thermal Properties: Applications in Thermal Management and Energy Storage
Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 525-547
We review the thermal properties of graphene, few-layer graphene and graphene
nanoribbons, and discuss practical applications of graphene in thermal
management and energy storage. The first part of the review describes the
state-of-the-art in the graphene thermal field focusing on recently reported
experimental and theoretical data for heat conduction in graphene and graphene
nanoribbons. The effe...
Gold Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery and Cancer Therapy
Tập 10 Số 11 - Trang 3824
Nanomaterials are popularly used in drug delivery, disease diagnosis and
therapy. Among a number of functionalized nanomaterials such as carbon
nanotubes, peptide nanostructures, liposomes and polymers, gold nanoparticles
(Au NPs) make excellent drug and anticancer agent carriers in biomedical and
cancer therapy application. Recent advances of synthetic technique improved the
surface coating of Au...
An Overview of Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Components by Directed Energy Deposition: Microstructure and Mechanical Properties
Tập 7 Số 9 - Trang 883
The directed energy deposition (DED) process can be employed to build net shape
components or prototypes starting from powder or wires, through a layer-by-layer
process. This process provides an opportunity to fabricate complex shaped and
functionally graded parts that can be utilized in different engineering
applications. DED uses a laser as a focused heat source to melt the in-situ
delivered pow...
Peak Fitting Applied to Fourier Transform Infrared and Raman Spectroscopic Analysis of Proteins
Tập 10 Số 17 - Trang 5918
FTIR and Raman spectroscopy are often used to investigate the secondary
structure of proteins. Focus is then often laid on the different features that
can be distinguished in the Amide I band (1600–1700 cm−1) and, to a lesser
extent, the Amide II band (1510–1580 cm−1), signature regions for C=O
stretching/N-H bending, and N-H bending/C-N stretching vibrations, respectively.
Proper investigation of...
Blockchain in Agriculture Traceability Systems: A Review
Tập 10 Số 12 - Trang 4113
Food holds a major role in human beings’ lives and in human societies in general
across the planet. The food and agriculture sector is considered to be a major
employer at a worldwide level. The large number and heterogeneity of the
stakeholders involved from different sectors, such as farmers, distributers,
retailers, consumers, etc., renders the agricultural supply chain management as
one of the...
