Abstract:
... Very little information is available with regards to the bioavailability of perchlorate in spinach or chard used in the production of baby foods commodities. In the present study, the uptake and accumulation of perchlorate were compared under two different treatments (T1: 1 and T2: 10 mg L⁻¹ ClO₄⁻). Our results indicate that spinach has a higher capacity to accumulate perchlorate than chard (p < 0 ...

Abstract:
... Self-powered electronic devices require energy harvesting systems to support their energy needs, but their energy harvesting efficiency seems still insufficient. In this paper, a flexoelectric energy harvester based on controllable wrinkling mechanism is theoretically proposed to enhance the energy harvesting efficiency. The dielectric film, partly bonded to a pre-stretched substrate, wrinkles aft ...
