The fact that there is no continuity in intensive variables across the interface, unlike what is assumed in standard engineering models, has a bearing on the understanding and modelling of coupled heat and mass transport at interfaces in nature and man-made applications.
Shock wave focusing occurs frequently both in nature and in a variety of man-made applications.
UNDP/FAO Regional Project on Improved Productivity of Man-Made Forests through Application of Technological Advances in Tree Breeding and Propagation (FORTIP).
Following the first two years of its operation, the UNDP/FAO Regional Project on Improved Productivity of Man-Made Forests Through Application of Technological Advances in Tree Breeding and Propagation (FORTIP (RAS/91/004) has laid the basis for regional activities in forest tree improvement by setting up an efficient Regional Network among ten member countries in South and Southeast Asia.
Compelling opportunities exist in exploiting similar 3D architectures in man-made devices for applications in biomedicine, sensing, energy storage and conversion, electronics and many other areas of advanced technology.
Phthalates are a family of man-made chemicals that have applications in medical, automotive and consumer product industries [ 1].
The application of multi-temporal topographic LiDAR data has become a standard for many mapping and monitoring applications in man-made and natural environments.
To investigate undulatory median fin propulsion and its potential for applications in man-made underwater vehicles, a motor-driven fin actuator, RoboGnilos, has been developed with inspirations from G. niloticus, which generally swims by undulations of a long flexible dorsal fin.
The higher concentration of NO3 −, i.e., >10 mg/L, is an indication of man-made pollution (poor sanitary conditions, unlimited application of fertilizers, etc.; (Cushing et al. 1973).
Biomimetics is the transfer of technology from biology into the man-made world; this chapter focuses on applications specific to outdoor clothing.
Some man-made toxins are designed with destructive applications in mind (anthrax, chemical-warfare agents), others designed with good intentions are toxic to humans (pesticides), while more are byproducts from industry/manufacturing (lead from fossil fuels).
