CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A CHICKPEA HARVESTING HEADER

Conceptual design of a chickpea harvesting header

Interest in the development of stripper headers is growing owing to the excessive losses of combine harvesters and costs of manually harvesting for chickpeas.The design of a new concept can enhance the mechanized process for chickpea harvesting.A modified stripper platform was designed, in which passive fingers with V-shape slots removes the pods f

Phages for Biofilm Removal

Biofilms are clusters of bacteria that live in association with surfaces.Their main characteristic is that the bacteria inside the biofilms are attached to other bacterial cells and to the surface by an extracellular polymeric matrix.Biofilms are capable of adhering to a wide variety of surfaces, both biotic and abiotic, including human tissues, me
