Nectar analysis has been used to understand pollination systems, but nectar storage methods have rarely considered as potential sources of inaccuracy in the recovery data. Prompt sugar is not always possible and can affect results. We aimed develop an effective method store on filter paper. Nectars from two subspecies Eremophila maculata (Scrophulariaceae) Strelitzia reginae (Strelitziaceae) we...

Desiccant wheels are widely used in buildings to control humidity and reduce energy consumption. A model is presented based on transient coupled heat and mass transfer, to model, design and analyze the effects of geometrical characteristics of a honeycombed rotary desiccant wheel and its performance. Governing equations are solved numerically using finite volume method and the model is validate...

Using filter paper to collect blood from wildlife for antibody analysis can be a powerful technique to simplify the collection, transport, and storage of blood samples. Despite these advantages, there are limited data that detail how long these samples can be stored and how storage conditions affect antibody longevity. We used blood samples collected on filter paper from coyotes experimentally ...

• Novel Ionic Liquid that is not corrosive to aluminum used as liquid desiccant. New three-fluid fin-tube desiccant contactor fabricated using aluminum. Experimental performance of the IL solution investigated. The fin–tube showed superior than packed bed contactor. Lower flow rates and pumping power expected experimental a new novel ionic investigated compared with those an adiabatic LiCl for ...
