The trajectory of the first excited Efimov state is investigated by using a renormalized zero-range three-body model for a system with two bound and one virtual two-body subsystems. The approach is applied to n− n−18C, where the n− n virtual energy and the three-body ground state are kept fixed. It is shown that such three-body excited state goes from a bound to a virtual state when the n−18C b...

The relative stability of hydrogen-bonded of Molybdate-Phosphonic Acid (MPA) complex (1:2) ingas phase has been carried out using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. The methods are usedfor calculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91 that have been studied in two series of basis sets: D95**and 6-31+G(d,p) for hydrogen and oxygen atoms; LANL2DZ for Mo and Phosphorus. Predictedhydrogen-bond geom...

Energy harvesting from surrounding environment has been attractive for many researchers in recent years. Therefore, developing appropriate test apparatus to study energy harvesting mechanisms and their performance is of paramount importance. Due to their electromechanical characteristics, piezoelectric materials are used for harvesting energy from environmental vibrations. For optimum utili...

This paper addresses the possibility of capacity withholding by energy producers, who seek to increase the market price and their own profits. The energy market is simulated as an iterative game, where each state game corresponds to an hourly energy auction with uniform pricing mechanism. The producers are modeled as agents that interact with their environment through reinforcement learning (RL...

The recent penetration of renewable sources in the energy system caused a transformation of the needs of the distribution system and amplified the need of energy storage systems to properly balance the electricity grid. Among electrochemical energy storage devices, all vanadium flow batteries are those of the most promising technologies due to their high efficiency, long lifetime, reliability a...

We perform a study of cosmic evolution with an equation of state parameter ω(t) = ω0 + ω1(tḢ/H) by selecting a phenomenological Λ model of the form, Λ̇ ∼ H. This simple proposition explains both linearly expanding and inflationary Universes with a single set of equations. We notice that the inflation leads to a scaling in the equation of state parameter, ω(t), and hence in equation of state. In ...
