It is important to understand how ballistic materials respond to impact from projectiles such that informed decisions can be made in the design process of protective armour systems.Ballistic testing is a standards-based process where materials are tested to determine whether they meet protection, safety and performance criteria.For the V50 ballisti
Biosurfactants produced by the novel strain Bacillus subtilis H1 as an efficient tool to biocontrol fungal diseases of tomato and wheat
Plant fungal diseases cause up to 15-20% and, in extreme cases, up to 60% yield Tumbler loss globally.The use of chemical pesticides for the suppression of fungal plant diseases has many negative consequences for the environment.Therefore, new alternatives to suppress fungal pathogens are actively sought.In this present study, biosurfactants produc
The Effect of Essential Oil of the Cultivated Satureja Khuzestanica Jamzad on Activity and Gene Expression of Hepatic Glucokinase in Normal and Diabetic Rats
Background and Objectives This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of the cultivated Satureja khuzestanica essential oil (SKEO) on activity and gene expression of hepatic GK in normal and diabetic rats.Methods Biochemical parameters such as glucose, insulin, and HbA1c plasma levels and oral glucose tolerance test were all analyzed.The culti
Novel Smoke-Aware Individual Evacuation and Congestion-Aware Group Evacuation Algorithms in IoT-Enabled Multi-Story Multi-Exit Buildings
Because of toxic gases and fast propagation speed, smoke causes the major injuries and deaths than burns in the fire.Deploying IoT enabled smoke sensors not only help to sense, collect, and transmit the smoke data to the control station, but also enable a dynamic and real-time evacuation approach to increase the evacuation success probability.In th
