Aqueous nanolubricants containing ZrO2 nanoparticles, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, or hybrid nanoparticles of ZrO2 and GO were formulated using a cost-effective ultrasonication de-agglomeration method.The friction and wear characteristics of these water-based nanolubricants were systematically investigated using a block-on-ring testing configura
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic was immediately realized to pose a considerable threat both to the physical, and the mental health of people.For healthcare professionals, it marks frantic work rhythms, anxiety for their patients and exposure to an invisible enemy.Those who hold administrative positions are called upon to make unprecedented decis
Some studies showed that a single session of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has the potential of modulating motor performance in healthy and athletes.To our knowledge, previously published systematic reviews have neither comprehensively investigated the effects of tDCS on athletic performance in both physical and psychological param
Physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) is highly tolerant of barren environments and a significant biofuel plant.To probe mechanisms of its tolerance mechanisms, we have analyzed genome-wide transcriptional profiles of 8-week-old physic nut seedlings subjected to Pi deficiency (P-) for 2 and 16 days, and Pi-sufficient conditions (P+) controls.We identifie
