Review on Advances in Production of Hybrids in Orchids
Abstract: Orchids are highly valued due to its exotic beauty, fragrant and long-lasting qualities. The orchid with its 20,000 to 30,000 species in some 700 to 800 genera is known to belong to one of the largest family “Orchidaceae” among flowering plants, and exhibits almost innumerable hybrid and limitless varieties. A hybrid is biologically defined as the offspring of two different organisms. In orchids, hybridization plays a vital role in development …

A Novel Design for Power Reduction in Arithmetic Circuits using MTCMOS Technology
Abstract: In CMOS logic circuits, the reduction in the threshold voltage due to voltage scaling leads to increase in the subthreshold leakage current and hence static power dissipation. Although power consumption is important for modern VLSI design, operation speed and occupied area are still the main requirements of the VLSI design. Multi threshold voltage CMOS (MTCMOS) technology is a good solution which provides a high performance and low-power design without any …

Mechanisms of Crystal Growth: From Spiral Steps to Surface Adhesion
Abstract: Crystal growth is a complex interplay between thermodynamic stability and kinetic processes, influenced heavily by the conditions under which crystallization occurs—particularly the degree of supersaturation. This abstract outline three principal regimes of solution-grown crystal growth: defect-driven, two-dimensional, and adhesive growth. At low supersaturation, growth is facilitated at surface defects, such as screw dislocations, where energy barriers to attachment are minimized. This results in the formation of spiraling steps that propagate …

IoT-Enabled Polymer–Gel PCM Composites for Intelligent Thermal Management in Solar Facade Applications
Abstract: The present study investigates the development of a multifunctional polymer–gel phase change composite designed for solar façade applications with integrated real-time thermal monitoring capability. A crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol–borax matrix was employed as a three-dimensional polymer scaffold to encapsulate paraffin-based phase change material, ensuring leakage-free operation and structural integrity under repeated thermal cycling. Graphite nanoplatelets were incorporated as thermally conductive nano-fillers to enhance heat transfer through the polymer composite via percolation-driven …

The Influence of The Oxide Layer on The Stress Corrosion Cracking Initiation in The Case of Incoloy 800 in The Alkaline Environment
Abstract: Oxidized and non-oxidized C-rings cuts from Incoloy 800 tubes were tested with the purpose to study the influence of the oxide layer in the first step of the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) mechanism. A mechanical pre-crack of 100mm depth was executed on the external side of the C-rings in order to create some stress concentrations. The oxidized C-rings were obtained by autoclaving for 20 days in demineralised water adjusted with …

Characterizing Electromagnetic Behavior of X-Band Rectangular Waveguide with Convex and Concave Shaped Ridges Using Hp-Finite Element Method
Abstract: In this research study, we explore the behavior of electromagnetic waves as they propagate through ridge waveguides with convex and concave shapes, having both single and double walls. To analyze the waveguide's characteristics, we employ the highly accurate hp-finite element method (hp-FEM). The focus is on investigating the impact of these ridge deformations on cutoff frequencies and bandpass for TE10 and TE20 modes. To benchmark our findings, we compare the …

Comparative Analysis of CMOS CNFET and Memristor Based Full Adder Circuits and CMOS Memristor Based Multiplexer Circuits
Abstract: Continued developments in microelectronics technology have led to a myriad of new compute- intensive applications at the micro-edge, such as artificial intelligence and signal and image processing. Multiplication is a crucial arithmetic process in such applications. However, large logic complexities typically seen in traditional multipliers generate combinatorial blocks with long chains of cascaded carry addition. As such, energy efficiency has remained a primary design challenge for these applications, when powered …
