In this paper, we deal with the research of a vibrating model of an energy harvester device, including the nonlinearities in the model of TABLE the piezoelectric coupling and the non-ideal excitation.We show, using numerical simulations, in the analysis of the dynamic responses, that the harvested power is influenced by non-linear vibrations of the
Sensitivity enhancement of SPR based refractive index sensor in VIS-NIR region by using ZnS and PVP
A highly sensitive optical sensor is presented.This sensor is having multilayer structure that is designed and optimized theoretically by using Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) and Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).The optical sensor proposed here is based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technique by using Kretschmann configuration.This SPR sensor is designed with B
A decolonial analysis of religious medicalisation of same-sex practices in South African Pentecostalism
Same-sex practices are commonly medicalised in various global spaces.Some societies view same-sex practices as some form of disease that needs to be cured.In Africa, the influence of Christianity has prompted many communities to conclude that there are spiritual forces behind same-sex orientations and practices.Therefore, same-sex practices are dem
