Jellyfish uses jet propulsion to achieve a diversity of propulsion modes in the water.In this article, a miniature jellyfish-inspired swimming robot is designed and built, which is capable of executing horizontal and vertical propulsion and maneuvers.In order to imitate the jellyfish in terms of morphology and kinematics, the robotic jellyfish is d
In practical applications, an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) generally employs a task of complete coverage path planning for exploration in a target area of interest.The biological inspired neural network (BINN) algorithm has been extensively employed in path planning of mobile robots, recently.In this paper, a complete coverage neural network (CCN
The role jean carlu posters of entrepreneurship within the context of an emerging economy has been well documented.Specifically within the South African context, the concept of entrepreneurship has been embraced by most industry sectors particularly for its resultant job creation and associated economic benefits.To date, psychologists have attempte
Essential oils are complex volatile compounds, extracted from specific plant species, with promising therapeutic potentials.However, their volatile nature presents a major hindrance in using them as therapeutic agents.In the current study, we successfully encapsulated oregano essential oil (OEO) into Poly (l-lactic acid-co-e-caprolactone) /Silk Fib
Water soluble carbohydrates (WSC) in stems play an important role in buffering grain yield in wheat against biotic and abiotic stresses; however, knowledge of genes controlling WSC is very limited.We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using a high-density 90K SNP array to better understand the genetic basis underlying WSC, and to expl
