Lotus Flower

The cake layers are subtly flavored with an orange-flower water syrup to raise the sophistication level, and the decoration is a lotus flower, which grows in bright, colorful, sunny India. 

Chill the cake for 15 minutes. Then remove it from the refrigerator and follow the instructions for tiering the cake (page 24 ) Place the smaller cake on top, centering it evenly. Place the lotus flower on the top tier. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 

The lotus flower should be made at least a week to 2 days before the cake so that it has time to dry.

The tradition divides the body into three parts. The stomach and abdomen is ruled by Agni, the God of Fire. The breast houses the Sun, and the head is the rounded sphere of the Moon, crowned by the Sahasrara lotus flower. Bhogar portrays Ganesha holding aloft the mind s flower, grasped in his tutikai (Shashumna), lifted upwards into the... 

The Lotus Effect simulates the properties of the lotus flower in nature, by microstructured hydrophobic protrusions which enable surfaces to clean themselves by water in motion. By making use of innovative technologies, the Lotus Effect can be used on many different products. For example, self-cleaning surfaces could be used for self-adhesive films, injection moulded parts or painted components in the construction industry, for facade elements or window frames, for traffic facilities such as road signs, and not to forget cars themselves. 

This is accomplished using the alternative oxidase system (Box D in Fig. 18-6). The lotus flower maintains a temperature of 30-35°C, while the ambient temperature may vary from 10-30°C. While the volatilization of insect attractants may be the primary role for thermogenesis in plants, the warm flowers may also offer an important reward to insect pollinators. Beetles and bees require thoracic temperatures above 30°C to initiate flight and, therefore. 

Almost everything that growB has been called upon to make bread for man. In remote ages the Egyptians of the Nile Valley prepared bread from the seed of lotus flowers. These flowers grew abundantly in the mud of the river bottom, and when the annual overflow receded there was a harvest of lotus flowers, just as we harvest wheat to-day. 

In the academic world a lot of effort has been done to obtain super-hydrophobicity mimicking the lotus flower, that is, creating surface roughness combined with super-hydrophobicity. Different technologies have been examined (Latthe et al., 2012 Latthe et al., 2014) showing the potential for further development and commercial implementation in textiles, such as nanobased products to be applied by sol-gel technology, plasma treatment, layer-by-layer, and more (Chinchwade et al., 2014).
