In most modern manufacturing systems, products are often the output of some multistage processes. In these processes, the stages are dependent on each other, where the output quality of each stage depends also on the output quality of the previous stages. This property is called the cascade property. Although there are many studies in multistage process monitoring, there are fewer works on prof...

Fuel cell gas turbine hybrid systems have achieved ultra-high efficiency and ultra-low emissions at small scales, but have yet to demonstrate effective dynamic responsiveness or base-load cost savings. Fuel cell systems and hybrid prototypes have not utilized controls to address thermal cycling during load following operation, and have thus been relegated to the less valuable base-load and peak...

A hybrid heat pump cycle of the heat amplifier type integrating a booster compressor between the generator and the condenser for distributed heating is simulated and analyzed. The interrelation between the two sub-cycles and the hybridization principle are explored. The theoretical analysis is demonstrated by a H2O/LiBr based hybrid cycle simulation. Investigation of the interaction mechanisms ...

Amphiphilic Ru(bpy)32+ complex (DC17Ru)—citratoperoxotitanate (CPT) —ditetradecylviologen (DC14V) triad nano-film was fabricated on quartz slab optical waveguide by organic-inorganic hybrid Langmuir-Blodgett method. Transient phosphorescence of the DC17Ru monolayer at 610 nm excited 532 pulsed laser observed SOWG spectroscopy. The partly quenched CPT layer and quenching enhanced DC14V underneat...

Chemo-enzymatic hybrid process merging enzymatic cascade reactions of designed substrates with chemo- and site-selective synthetic manipulations allowed the chemo-enzymatic total syntheses jorunnamycin A saframycin A, in just 4 5 pots processes, respectively. Artificial variants installation various amino acids place l-Ala were systematically generated, demonstrating substantially broader subst...

Spiking neuron models are hybrid dynamical systems combining differential equations and discrete resets, which generate complex dynamics. Several two-dimensional spiking models have been recently introduced, modeling the membrane potential and an additional variable, and where spikes are defined by the divergence of the membrane potential variable to infinity. These simple models reproduce a la...

We have performed cascade genetic algorithm and ab initio atomistic thermodynamics under the framework of first-principles-based hybrid density functional theory to study the (meta-)stability of a wide range of Li(x)N(y) clusters. We found that hybrid xc-functional is essential to address this problem as a local/semilocal functional simply fails even to predict a qualitative prediction. Most im...

Hybrid nano-biomaterials are exploited in the design and performance of chemo-enzymatic cascades. In this study, lipase is immobilized from Candida antarctica fraction B (CALB) gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on magnetic particles coated with silica ([email protected]2) to stepwise hydrolyze reduce p-nitrophenyl esters tandem reaction. The assembly two catalysts at interface [email protected]2 temp...
