The paper presents the optical, mechanical, and electro-optical design of an interferometric inspection system for massive parallel inspection of MicroElectroMechanicalSystems (MEMS) and MicroOptoElectroMechanicalSystems (MOEMS). The basic idea is to adapt a micro-optical probing wafer to the M(O)EMS...
...measure and manage their intellectual capital to improve performance and internal and external communication. Unfortunately, experiences indicate that the methods used are far from sufficient to grasp the essential aspects of knowledge production processes or to give any guidance on how and where improvements...
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) with detailed chemical kinetics and chemical explosive mode analysis (CEMA) are performed to investigate the effect of operating pressure and hydrogen–methane blending on laminar wrinkled flames at reheat combustion conditions. Building upon previous three-dimensional...
...represents a promising solution for renewable energy application and carbon footprint reduction. However, its production through renewable energy powered water electrolysis is hindered by significant cost, arising from repair, maintenance, and economic losses due to unexpected downtimes. Although reliability...
Dual-port grid-forming control enables simultaneous ac and dc voltage regulation for modular multilevel converters (MMCs) connecting the HVDC transmission line to the ac network. However, its ability to provide damping and inertial power is inherently constrained by the limited internal energy capacity...
Process simulation was integrated with life cycle assessment to evaluate process efficiency and environmental impact of the production of manganese ferroalloys for various production modes and different ore mineralogies. Utilizing HSC Sim, the model was designed to evaluate the production process with...
...the North Sea. Dealing with variability of power from such wind farms is an important issue and should be addressed properly in the project developments. An HVDC connection between the offshore wind farm and Norway grid enables the offshore wind farms to benefit from the large hydro generation capacity...
...to predict the chemistry of ash-forming elements in biomass and waste combustion for corrosion- or deposition-related issues. One major limitation is the lack of comprehensive databases that contain the thermodynamic data of ash compounds and phases formed during combustion. The present paper is a review...
...public perceptions, environmental policy, and mitigation strategies going forward. It is therefore vital that the corresponding data are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). To investigate the findability and accessibility of microplastics data and data management practices within the...
The next, and possibly final, round of the ‘Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction’ (BBNJ) negotiations will begin on February 20th, with high hopes for completion of a strong treaty. But significant issues remain unresolved across the package of issues, especially in regards to Environmental Impact...
