The lotus effect refers to self-cleaning properties that are a result of ultrahydrophobicity as exhibited by the leaves of Nelumbo, the lotus flower. [1] Dirt particles are picked up by water droplets due to the micro- and nanoscopic architecture on the surface, which minimizes the droplet's adhesion to that surface.
Final Fantasy XIV [c] is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square Enix.Directed and produced by Naoki Yoshida and released worldwide for PlayStation 3 and Windows in August 2013, it replaced the failed 2010 version, with subsequent support for PlayStation 4, macOS, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Its leaves are classic five lobed Lotus leaves. The leaves are heavily hairy at the bottoms. The leaves are heavily hairy at the bottoms. The reddish seedheads are equally as unique looking like clusters of little melons where the flowers used to be.
Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea, [1] [a] is a water lily in the genus Nymphaea, a botanical variety of Nymphaea nouchali.. It is an aquatic plant of freshwater lakes, pools and rivers, naturally found throughout most of the eastern half of Africa, as well as parts of southern Arabia, but has also been spread to other regions as an ornamental plant.
A round leaf where the petiole attaches near the center, e.g. a lotus leaf perfoliate: perfoliatus: stem attachment: With the leaf blade surrounding the stem such that the stem appears to pass through the leaf perforate: perforatus: leaf surface features Many holes, or perforations, on leaf surface. Compare with fenestrate. pinnately lobed ...
This map focuses solely on a small area centered on the Galtean Peninsula. Ivalice proper extends beyond its confines. [54] In Final Fantasy XII, Ivalice covers three continents, Ordalia, Valendia and Kerwon. The demography consists of the known races: Humes, Bangaa, Viera, Seeq and Moogles, and other minority races.
Hence, the lotus leaves represent remarkable superhydrophobicity. Static contact angle and contact angle hysteresis of the lotus leaf are determined around 164° and 3°, respectively. [17] With small tilting angles, water droplets on the leaf roll off and take any dirt or contaminant along, leading to self-cleaning. [18]
The Proteaceae have a rich fossil record, despite the inherent difficulties in identifying remains that do not show diagnostic characteristics. Identification usually comes from using a combination of brachy-paracytic stomata and the unusual trichome bases or, in other cases, the unusual structure of pollen tetrads.
