In this paper we discuss the threat of malware targeted at extracting information about the relationships in a real-world social network as well as characteristic information about the individuals in the network, which we dub Stealing Reality. We present Stealing Reality (SR), explain why it differs from traditional types of network attacks, and discuss why its impact is significantly more dang...

This communication reports on the design, fabrication and testing of special high temperature Si/SiN based micro-hotplates as micromachined platforms for micro-SOFCs. Different designs and materials have been evaluated to realise micro-heating platforms compatible with spray pyrolysed anode, cathode and electrolytes materials. The potential of these micromachined platforms for further integrati...

Ammonia is being considered as a promising alternative to hydrogen fuel in solid oxide cells (SOFCs) due its stability and ease of storage transportation. This study investigates the feasibility using ammonia tubular SOFC for shipborne unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The paper develops 3D model tubular-anode-supported single cell conducts numerical simulations analyze impact different operatin...

total parenteral nutrition (tpn) has a vital role in controlling nutritional deficiencies especially in patients with critical conditions who are confined to bed in intensive care unit (icu). complete evaluation of the nutritional status of these patients is necessary to achieve their nutritional goal. the aim of this investigation was to study the complete blood count (cbc), coagulation parame...

The relevance of micro Laue diffraction tomography (µ-LT) to investigate heterogeneous polycrystalline materials has been studied. For this purpose, a multiphase solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrode composite made of yttria-stabilized zirconia and nickel oxide phases, with grains of about a few micrometres in size, has been analyzed. In order to calibrate the Laue data and to test the techniq...

This article focuses on perovskite materials for application as cathode material in solid oxide fuel cells. In order to develop new promising materials it is helpful to classify already known perovskite materials according to their properties and to identify certain tendencies. Thereby, composition-dependent structural data and materials properties are considered. Structural data under consider...

An efficient procedure is presented for the evaluation of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode microstructure triple phase boundary length (TPBL). Triple phase boundary- the one that is common between three phases of the microstructure- has a great influence on the overall efficiency of SOFC because all electrochemical reactions of anode take place in its vicinity. Therefore, evaluation of TP...

As the pursuit towards emissions reduction intensifies with growing interest and nascent technologies, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) remain an illustrious candidate for achieving our goals. Despite myriad advantages, SOFCs are still too costly for widespread deployment, even as unprecedented materials developments have recently emerged. This suggests that, in addition to informed materials sel...

Record high performance and longevity is reported for a butane-fueled low-temperature-operating solid oxide fuel cell (LT-SOFC). Affordable catalysts, Cu CeO 2 , were incorporated into thin-film-based SOFC to enable this remarkable enhancement.

This paper presents performance analysis of a fuel cell system (FCS) consisting of a thermal plasma reformer (TPR) and a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine (SOFC/GT) system from a system-level viewpoint. This paper also addresses the results of using greenhouse gases (CH4 and CO2) as feedstock to the system. Being non-catalytic reforming, the thermal plasma reforming technique does no...
