High-Performance Tuning for Model Predictive Control for a Renewable Energy Grid-Interface Converter With LCL Filter

Model predictive control (MPC) has emerged as a highly regarded control strategy in power electronics for renewable energy applications. While it minimizes tracking errors and control effort, a significant challenge is the lack of systemati...

Mobile App Prototype in Older Adults for Postfracture Acute Pain Management: User-Centered Design Approach

BackgroundPostfracture acute pain is often inadequately managed in older adults. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies can offer opportunities for self-management of pain; however, insufficient apps exist for acute pain management after a fr...

Quantum computing with neutral atoms

The manipulation of neutral atoms by light is at the heart of countless scientific discoveries in the field of quantum physics in the last three decades. The level of control that has been achieved at the single particle level within arrays...

Interface-induced tensile strain stabilizes ruthenium oxide for high-performance acidic water oxidation.

Atomic heat transfer in nanoscale contacts mediated by van der Waals interactions

Abstract Van der Waals-interfacial heat transfer is a key element in thermal problems in atomic-scale devices including quantum computing devices, solid-state batteries, and solar power generation devices. However, its characterization rema...

Tunable Piezophotonic Effect on Core-Shell Nanoparticles Prepared by Laser Ablation in Liquids under External Voltage

We report an experimental study on the piezophotonic effect of gold and lead zirconate titanate (PbZrTiO3) nanoparticles (NPs) and also their core-shell nanostructures prepared by the laser ablation in liquid method. To obtain these NPs and...

Diffusion and surface alloying of gradient nanostructured metals

Gradient nanostructures (GNSs) have been optimized in recent years for desired performance. The diffusion behavior in GNS metals is crucial for understanding the diffusion mechanism and relative characteristics of different interfaces that ...

An Introduction to Nanotechnology

Simulation Study on Mechanical Characteristics of Rock Bolt in Rock Mass with Bedding Separation Based on the Nonlinear Bond Slip Relationship

The mechanical equation on the mechanical characteristics of rock bolt in rock mass with bedding separation is established, based on the bond slip relationship of anchoring interface by the load transfer method. The validity of the numerica...

Real time groupware as a distributed system

This paper exposes the concurrency control problem in groupware when it is implemented as a distributed system. Traditional concurrency control methods cannot be applied directly to groupware because system interactions include people as we...

Simulação na validação de sistemas computacionais para a agricultura de precisão Simulation in the validation of precision farming computing systems

Sistemas computacionais têm tido aplicação crescente na construção de sistemas para o setor agrícola; contudo, o trabalho de projeto desse tipo de sistemas tem-se tornado mais complexo devido à necessidade de se estabelecer cooperação entre...

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...

Information Science and Statistics

The interface between information science and statistics is more often implicit that explicit. It is true that the rapid growth of computer technology and the development of a better understanding of how to handle large amounts of data, has...

Removal of Microcystin-LR by a Novel Native Effective Bacterial Community Designated as YFMCD4 Isolated from Lake Taihu

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is the most toxic and frequently detected monocyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria, which poses a great threat to the natural ecosystem and public health. It is very important to seek environment-...

From Two-Phase to Three-Phase: The New Electrochemical Interface by Oxide Electrocatalysts

Abstract Electrochemical reactions typically occur at the interface between a solid electrode and a liquid electrolyte. The charge exchange behaviour between these two phases determines the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. In the past...

Lipid-mediated gating of a miniature mechanosensitive MscS channel from Trypanosoma cruzi

Abstract The mechanosensitive channel of small conductance (MscS) from E. coli (EcMscS) has served as the prevailing model system for understanding mechanotransduction in ion channels. Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan parasite causing Chaga...

UTRme: A Scoring-Based Tool to Annotate Untranslated Regions in Trypanosomatid Genomes

Most signals involved in post-transcriptional regulatory networks are located in the untranslated regions (UTRs) of the mRNAs. Therefore, to deepen our understanding of gene expression regulation, delimitation of these regions with high acc...

Biohybrid Actuators for Soft Robotics: Challenges in Scaling Up

Living systems have evolved to survive in a wide range of environments and safely interact with other objects and organisms. Thus, living systems have been the source of inspiration for many researchers looking to apply their mechanics and ...
