Effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of laser powder bed fusion ODS-316L

As a candidate cladding material for fourth-generation nuclear energy systems, the microstructure and properties of oxide dispersion strengthened 316L (ODS-316L) steel are significantly affected by heat treatment (HT) processes. This paper ...

An Insight into the Integration of Distributed Energy Resources and Energy Storage Systems with Smart Distribution Networks Using Demand-Side Management

Demand-side management (DSM) is a significant component of the smart grid. DSM without sufficient generation capabilities cannot be realized; taking that concern into account, the integration of distributed energy resources (solar, wind, wa...

Kalman Filtering for Discrete Stochastic Systems with Multiplicative Noises and Random Two-Step Sensor Delays

This paper is concerned with the optimal Kalman filtering problem for a class of discrete stochastic systems with multiplicative noises and random two-step sensor delays. Three Bernoulli distributed random variables with known conditional p...

Design Considerations for a Distributed Low-Cost Air Quality Sensing System for Urban Environments in Low-Resource Settings

With rapid urbanization, hazardous environmental exposures such as air, noise, plastic, soil and water pollution have emerged as a major threat to urban health. Recent studies show that 9 out of 10 people worldwide breathe contaminated air ...

Formal Techniques for Distributed Systems

Synthesizing distributed systems

In system synthesis, we transform a specification into a system that is guaranteed to satisfy the specification. When the system is distributed, the goal is to construct the system's underlying processes. Results on multi-player games imply...

A Single-Capillary Open Microfluidic Probe for Robust and Versatile Spatial Multi-Omics Using Ambient Mass Spectrometry Imaging.

Automated integration of real-time and non-real-time defense systems

Various application domains require the integration of distributed real-time or near-real-time systems with non-real-time systems. Smart cities, smart homes, ambient intelligent systems, or network-centric defense systems are among these ap...

<b>Assessing different holding pen cooling systems through environmental variables and productivity of lactating cows

This studyaimed to assess different holding pen climatization systems for dairy cattle through environmental variables, milk production and economic indexes. Sixteen lactating cows were used, distributed in a 4 x 4 Latin square design consi...

A systems-level energetic framework for conscious processing: energetic organization as a constraint on large-scale neural integration

Conscious processing is associated with coordinated interactions among distributed neural systems, yet the biological constraints that enable and sustain large-scale neural integration remain incompletely understood. Contemporary theories e...

A general theory of glacier surges

We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed ...

Voltage Stability and Power Sharing Control of Distributed Generation Units in DC Microgrids

Advancements in power conversion efficiency and the growing prevalence of DC loads worldwide have underscored the importance of DC microgrids in modern energy systems. Addressing the challenges of power-sharing and voltage stability in thes...

Distribution Patterns of Iron-Oxidizing Zeta- and Beta-Proteobacteria From Different Environmental Settings at the Jan Mayen Vent Fields

Iron oxidizers are widespread in marine environments and play an important role in marine iron cycling. However, little is known about the overall distribution of iron oxidizers within hydrothermal systems, including settings with little hy...

Optimum calcination temperature for the synthesis of nanostructured alumina for energy storage heat management applications

Heat management for rechargeable energy systems such as lithium-ion batteries are of great performance and safety value. Optimization of solid additives to liquid cooling systems are a field of research for the advanced materials selection ...

Gossiping in distributed systems

Gossip-based algorithms were first introduced for reliably disseminating data in large-scale distributed systems. However, their simplicity, robustness, and flexibility make them attractive for more than just pure data dissemination alone. ...

An Organizational View of Distributed Systems

The relationship between organization theory and distributed systems is studied. By viewing distributed systems as analogous to human organizations, concepts and theories germane to the management science field of organization theory can be...
