Evaluating Battery Degradation Models in Rolling-Horizon BESS Arbitrage Optimization

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can benefit from price volatility in electricity markets, but frequent cycling increases degradation and reduces long-term value. This study develops a rolling-horizon dispatch framework in which batter...

Comparative Analysis of Influent and Effluent Measurements of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) at Wastewater Treatment Facilities.

Predicting land use and land cover changes for sustainable land management using CA-Markov modelling and GIS techniques

Abstract This study addresses the significant issue of rapid land use and land cover (LULC) changes in Lahore District, which is critical for supporting ecological management and sustainable land-use planning. Understanding these changes is...

Hybrid heterogeneous ensemble learning framework for flood susceptibility mapping in Balochistan, Pakistan

Study region: The National Highways 85 and 50, key routes of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in Balochistan, Pakistan. Study focus: Flooding is a natural disaster that is becoming increasingly frequent and severe. The National H...

One roof, two thermal modes

While seasonally fixed passive coolers provide thermal relief during heat-stress periods, their intrinsic mechanism of continuous heat dissipation renders them inherently thermally penalizing during the heating season. Here, we report and h...

Optimizing supercritical antisolvent process parameters to minimize the particle size of paracetamol nanoencapsulated in L-polylactide

Mahshid Kalani, Robiah Yunus, Norhafizah AbdullahChemical and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University Putra Malaysia, Selangor Darul Ehsan, MalaysiaBackground: The aim of this study was to optimize the different proces...

Going beyond the flood insurance rate map: insights from flood hazard map co-production

Flood hazard mapping in the United States (US) is deeply tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Consequently, publicly available flood maps provide essential information for insurance purposes, but they do not necessarily pr...

Postbiotics in Functional Foods: Preparation-Based Characterization, Gut–Brain Axis Interactions, and Translational Perspectives

Postbiotics are defined as preparations of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confer a health benefit on the host. Although interest in postbiotics has increased substantially, their translational use in functional foods ...

A Multivariate Scaling System Is Essential to Characterize the Tropical Cyclones' Risk

Abstract The current Tropical Cyclones (TCs) scaling system, Saffir‐Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (SSHWS), characterizes the hazardousness of these events solely based on wind speed. This is despite the fact that TCs are classic examples of ...

Dynamic Assembly of Microgels and Polymers at Non‐Aqueous Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Abstract Particle assembly at liquid–liquid interfaces presents a promising bottom‐up strategy for creating supramolecular materials with advanced functionalities. However, the significantly lower interfacial tension observed in immiscible ...

siRNA Functionalized Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) in Management of Diseases

RNAi (RNA interference)-based technology is emerging as a versatile tool which has been widely utilized in the treatment of various diseases. siRNA can alter gene expression by binding to the target mRNA and thereby inhibiting its translati...

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING: INTEGRATED POLICY

Abstract. The project of the International Accounting Standards Board that updates and develops international accounting standards (IASB) has been lasting more than twenty years. In Ukraine, International accounting standards were adopted a...

Departure Time and Route Choices With Accurate Information Under Binary Stochastic Bottleneck Capacity in the Morning Commute

Uncertainty, a critical factor of causing congestion and extra travel costs in the commute, can be mitigated by providing information. This paper studies the welfare effects of accurate pre-trip information on departure time and route choic...

An Association Rule Based Method to Integrate Metro-Public Bicycle Smart Card Data for Trip Chain Analysis

Smart card data provide valuable insights and massive samples for enhancing the understanding of transfer behavior between metro and public bicycle. However, smart cards for metro and public bicycle are often issued and managed by independe...

Unsteady Aerodynamic Characteristics of a High-Speed Train Induced by the Sudden Change of Windbreak Wall Structure: A Case Study of the Xinjiang Railway

Under strong winds, the effect of sudden windbreak transition (WT) on high-speed trains is severe, leading to a deterioration of train aerodynamics and sudden yawing motion of the car body. To address these problems, based on a high-speed t...

Characterizing particle crushing behavior of dry granular soils by acoustic emission

This study investigates particle crushing mechanisms in granular soils during shearing through staged triaxial compression experiments performed at prescribed axial strains and varying confining stresses, integrating a high-performance acou...

The effect of freeze-thaw cycles on the frost resistance of energy tunnels in cold regions

Seasonal temperature fluctuations in cold regions induce freeze–thaw cycles that can significantly impact the structural safety and maintenance of tunnels. This study uses the Daban Mountain Tunnel as a case study to develop a full-scale nu...
