19、n the order they appeared. Each of those books fueled her passion to learn more about the person, subject matter, or time in history.

25、ready been created with some regular items such as a piece of fabric. However, the researchers found it quite challenging with balancing and maintaining moisture content between where it shouldnt be and where it is required to be.To fix this problem, the team led by Tan Swee Ching from National Univ

26、ersity of Singapore created a new MEG.One part of the fabric in their device is coated with a special gel(凝胶). This is what they called the wet region. The special water-absorbing gel is able to take in more than six times its original weight. This is the very thing used to harvest moisture coming f

27、rom the air around. The other end of this device is the dry region, which doesnt have the gel. They specifically designed the fabric this way to make sure that the area stays dry and that the water is trapped only in the wet region.The wet-dry regions ensure water is maintained just in the wet area,

28、 even if this device is left in an open damp environment fora month. This demonstrates how effective the device is when it comes to maintaining its stable electrical output. The MEG device also has immediate potential applications, one of which is to make a portable power source. “With this unique s

29、tructure, the electric performance of our MEG device is significantly improved in comparison with the previous ones, thus making it possible to power many common electronic devices, such as health monitors and wearable electronics,” Tan said.“The invention can be massively produced because its easy

30、for factories to get their hands on commercially available raw materials. When it is perfected, many people can finally get their hands on this small, yet powerful tool that they can easily and readily apply in the devices used for their daily use,” Tan added.8.

35、tes. But while North America largely banned their killing in the 1970s, they continue to be hunted in Greenland to this day.Elephants also have to deal with human hunters.

36、rade was banned in 1990, but animal habitats and food supplies have still declined.
