Echolocation while drinking: Pulse-timing strategies by high- and low-frequency FM bats.
During nightly foraging activity, echolocating bats drink by flying low over the water surface and dipping the lower jaw while avoiding further bodily contact with the water.This task poses different sensorimotor challenges than flying in the open to forage for insects.Of interest is how bats adjust the timing of their echolocation pulses to accomm
Cybersecurity of Smart Electric Vehicle Charging: A Power Grid Perspective
With the roll-out of electric vehicles (EVs), the automobile industry is transitioning away from conventional gasoline-fueled vehicles.As a result, the EV charging demand is continuously growing and to meet this growing demand, various types of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) are being deployed for commercial and residential use.This nex
Alkali-activated binary concrete based on natural pozzolan; a real and eco-friendly alternative to the OPC concrete
This research shows the obtaining and characterization of an Alkali Activated Binary Concrete (AABC), based on 70% of a natural volcanic pozzolan (NP) and 30% ground blast furnace slag (GBFS), as a real and environmentally sustainable alternative of replacement to the Portland cement (OPC)-based concrete.As the alkaline activator a mixture of sodiu
