This paper presents a new 3D bottom-up packing technology for integrating a chip, an induction coil, and interconnections for flexible wireless biomedical applications.Parylene was used as a flexible substrate for the bottom-up embedding of the chip, insulation layer, interconnection, and inductors to form a flexible wireless biomedical microsystem

Plant-ants live in a mutualistic association with host plants known as "myrmecophytes" that provide them with a nesting place and sometimes with extra-floral nectar (EFN) and/or food bodies (FBs); the ants can also attend sap-sucking Hemiptera for their honeydew.In return, plant-ants, like most other arboreal ants, protect their host plants from de

Determining the aero-icing characteristics is key for safety assurance in aviation, but it may be a computationally expensive task.This work presents a framework for the development of low-dimensional models for application to aerofoil icing.The framework builds on: an adaptive sampling strategy to identify the local, nonlinear features across the

The Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BOTDR) system measures the distributed strain and temperature information along the optic fibre by detecting the Brillouin gain spectra (BGS) and finding the Brillouin frequency shift profiles.By introducing small gain stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), dynamic measurement using BOTDR can be real

Solid wastes like lignocellulosic materials have proven to be of immense benefit to the production of bioethanol and have given a headway towards the deviation from the traditional use of fossil fuel which is has been a long-time primary source of fuel and energy globally.The transformation of lignocellulosic wastes into bioethanol is of importance
