lu3+/yb3+ and lu3+/er3+ co-doped sb2se3 nanomaterials were synthesized by a co-reduction method in hydrothermal condition. powder xrd patterns indicate that the lnxln′xsb2-2xse3 ln: lu3+/yb3+ and lu3+/er3+ crystals (x= 0.00-0.04) are isostructural with sb2se3. the cell parameters were increased for compounds upon increasing the dopant content (x). sem and tem images show that co-doping of lu3+/...

A technology protocol to govern long-term international greenhouse gas emission reduction is proposed. The protocol consists of three parameters: a graduation income, below which countries have no emission reduction obligations; a convergence rate, at which emission intensities should approach that of the most carbon-extensive countries; and an acceleration rate, at the which the most carbon-ex...

New two nano- sized Schiff base complexes [M(L)], where L= 2, 2'-((1E, 1E')-(1, 2 phenylen bis (azanylylidene)) bis (methanylylidene)) bis (4-bromo phenolato) and M=Cu or Zn, (a, b complexes) were synthesized by ultrasonic irradiation. These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FT-IR, fluorescence emission, 1H NMR, field emission scanning electron spectroscopy...

The traffic signal control problem is an extensively researched area providing different approaches, from classic methods to machine learning based ones. Different aspects can be considered find optima, which this paper emphasises emission reduction. core of our solution a novel rewarding concept for deep reinforcement (DRL) does not utilize any reward shaping, hence exposes new insights into t...

Offline processing of acoustic emission (AE) signal waveforms recorded during a long-term AE monitoring session is a challenging problem in AE testing area. This is due to the fact that today’s AE systems can work with up to hundreds of channels and are able to process tens of thousands of AE events per second. The amount of data recorded during the session is very high. This paper proposes a w...

One of the main concerns of all industries such as mine industries is to increase their profit and keep their customers through improving quality level of their products; but increasing the quality of products usually releases air pollutants. Nowadays the management of air pollutant emissions with harmful environmental and health effects is one of the most pressing problems. In this paper, auth...
