SAMPLE -- Stratospheric Altitude Microbiology Probe for Life Existence -- A Method of Collection of Stratospheric Samples Using Balloon-Borne Payload System
Margarita Safonova, Bharat Chandra P, Binukumar G. Nair +8
The Earth possesses many environmental extremes that mimic conditions on extraterrestrial worlds. The stratosphere at 30-40 km altitude closely resembles the surface of Mars in ter…
Insights into the mechanics of pure and bacteria-laden sessile whole blood droplet evaporation
Durbar Roy, Sophia M, Kush K Dewangan +5
We study the mechanics of evaporation and precipitate formation in pure and bacteria-laden sessile whole blood droplets in the context of disease diagnostics. Using experimental an…
Heat and Hostility: How Substrate Temperature Shapes Bacterial Deposition Patterns and Pathogenesis in Evaporating Droplets
Amey Nitin Agharkar, Anmol Singh, Kush Kumar Dewangan +2
Hypothesis Droplets ejected from the host can directly settle on a substrate as fomite. In industrial environments, especially the food processing industries, the components mainta…
Insights into Transient Dynamics of Bacteria Laden Liquid Bridges
Kush Kumar Dewangan, Srinivas Rao S, Durbar Roy +3
We study evaporation and precipitate formation mechanics of bacteria-laden liquid bridge using experimental and theoretical analysis. Aqueous suspension of motile and non-motile Sa…
