A sliding electrolyte metal-air microbattery driven by natural eye blinking motion is demonstrated as a source of electrical energy that can be integrated with smart contact lens platforms. The battery (footprint 10 mm2) consists Mg anode and Pt cathode, patterned on an insulating substrate the film eye-tear fluid periodically dragged top electrodes during eye-blinking cycle, which activates ba...

This research aims to determine the belief-based drought perceptions and attitudes of farmers in ?anl?urfa, which is a semi-arid climate regime, factors affecting them. The surveys were conducted through face-to-face interviews with selected by simple random sampling method 2020. Analyses performed ordinal logit regression STATA. According results, while effects settlement location, land size, ...

A tidal bore is a surge of waters propagating upstream in an estuary as the tidal flow turns to rising and the flood tide propagates into a funnel-shaped system. Large tidal bores have a marked breaking roller. The sounds generated by breaking tidal bores were herein investigated in the field (Qiantang River) and in laboratory. The sound pressure record showed two dominant periods, with some si...

The Ad hoc On-demand Distance-Vector routing protocol (AODV) was published in 2003 by the IETF, as experimental RFC 3561. This routing protocol was one of four routing protocols, developed by the IETF for use in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) – with the other being DSR, TBRPF and OLSR. As operational experiences with these protocols accumulated, the IETF set forth on standardization of OLSRv2,...

Arad and Rubinstein (American Economic Review, 102(7), 2012, 3561–3573) recently proposed a simple money-request game designed to trigger level-k reasoning. In an experiment that explores three variants of the game, they find evidence for the level-k model with observed levels of strategic thinking consistently ranging from 0 to 3. Our baseline treatment uses the basic version of the money-requ...

Background and Purpose—Young age at natural menopause has been related to increased cardiovascular mortality, but few studies have examined the relationship with stroke risk specifically. Methods—In a cohort of 19 731 Norwegian women, we analyzed the relationship between age at natural menopause and stroke mortality. A total of 3561 women died of stroke during the 37-year follow-up from 1961 th...

The formation of planar bilayer membranes from lipid monolayers as described by Montal and Mueller (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 1972. 69:3561) is analyzed. Bilayers absolutely free of alkane solvents or other nonpolar hydrocarbons can be formed on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (e.g. Teflon) septa only if certain boundary conditions are satisfied. Measurements have been made of the contact angles be...

With the growing concern worldwide regarding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their impacts on human health environment, transportation has become a central theme in mitigation, responsible for 15% of anthropogenic GHG, 23% global energy-related, 8.7 Gt CO2-eq emissions. This study’s objective was to comprehensively review current state carbon mitigation sector. conducted through systematic l...
