Recycling Al alloys promotes greater sustainability, as the energy required to produce recycled alloys is only about 5 % of that needed to produce the same amount of primary alloys. However, the build-up of impurities, such as Zn, during the recycling process can negatively affect the corrosion...
The rapidly expanding applications of 5G networks necessitate strategic placement of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) within Service Function Chains (SFCs) to minimize placement costs while delivering real-time services to users. The dual objectives of this efficient placement strategy are to...
The kinetics of oxygen exchange dictate the rate of redox reactions, which is crucial for electrochemical-based sustainable technologies. In this study, we use isotope exchange pulse responses to elucidate the oxygen exchange mechanism for (Bi0.8Tm0.2)2O3−δ (BTM)–(La0.8Sr0.2)0.99MnO3−δ (LSM...
Pharmaceutical substances present in soils and water supplies pose a significant risk to the ecosystem. Solar light-driven photocatalysis with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanophotocatalysts has been widely explored for the degradation of these substances in aquatic resources. However, the lack of...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping healthcare through advancements in clinical decision support and diagnostic capabilities. While human expertise remains foundational to medical practice, AI-powered tools are increasingly matching or exceeding specialist-level performance across multiple...
Microplastics are a prolific environmental contaminant that pose a risk to marine organisms. Ecotoxicological studies have identified microplastics can cause sub-lethal harm to aquatic biota. However, prior studies often lack comparability and environmental relevance, for example focussing upon...
The ultrasonic pulse-echo (PE) measurement is a crucial measurement technique to determine the integrity of oil and gas wells. Oil companies use various analysis techniques and corrections to derive the pipe thickness and impedance of the material behind the pipe from PE measurements that are...
Modern heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are complex, interconnected systems optimised to be energy efficient. Damper-optimised demand-controlled ventilation systems (DCV) minimise energy consumption by using a dedicated control unit that calculates the optimal fan speed...
Future use of liquid hydrogen (Image 1 ) as an effective energy carrier will require elimination or minimization of hydrogen boil-off that is not utilized by demands in the value chain. The present work promotes local area cooling (LAC) as a promising boil-off reduction technology. In contrast to...
Researchers managed to cut energy consumption by a third without expensive upgrades. ...
