Fly ash is a kind of industrial solid waste that considered “hazardous waste”. In this study, supporting matrix modified fly (MFA) was employed to package lauric acid (LA) via facile direct impregnation method involving less experimental error. A low-cost and eco-friendly form-stable phase change material (PCM) LA/MFA/graphene (G) fabricated, with G as the thermal conductivity enhancer. The pre...

Paracetamol (acetaminophen, PCM) is a widely used over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic drug. Intake of a large dose of PCM may result in severe hepatic necrosis. Oxidative stress is mediated by oxidative capacities of the PCM metabolite (N-acetyl-para-benzo quinoneimine, NAPQI), which covalently binds to proteins and other macromolecules to cause cellular damage. At low doses, NAPQI is ...

A two-step method was used to load TiO 2 on a cement matrix, and zeolite chosen as intermediate support. @Zeolite composite coated photocatalytic cement-based material (PCM) prepared. Some advanced characterization technologies including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), BET specific surface area (SSA) test were applied characte...

Many researchers have investigated how to increase the overall efficiency of solar-driven thermal systems. Several key parameters, such as collector efficiency and storage tank characteristics, may impose some constraints on the annual solar fraction (ASF) of such systems. In this paper, the behaviour of integrating the phase change material (PCM) in SDHW systems is modelled and optimized n...

this paper proposes a new method of gain scheduling control design for a nonlinear system which is described as linear parameter varying form. a performance measure based on linear matrix inequality is introduced. to consider stability and performance measures in design process, the h∞ loop-shaping method is used to design the local controllers, which can be described as state feedback observer...

In recent years, some researches have been done on simultaneous monitoring of multivariate process mean vector and covariance matrix. However, the effect of measurement error, which exists in many practical applications, on the performance of these control charts is not well studied. In this paper, the effect of measurement error with linearly increasing variance on the performance of ELR contr...

Applying performance models to evaluate component-based enterprise applications in practice is becoming more and more difficult with an increasing organizational complexity. Components can be governed by different organizational units, are subject to a continuous shift between life cycle phases, and exhibit diverging release levels. Creating and maintaining performance models based on the compo...

Platelets and platelet-conditioned medium (PCM) decrease endothelial protein permeability in vitro. Adenosine and a >100-kDa protein have previously been implicated as the soluble factors released from platelets that decrease endothelial permeability. The objective of this study was to further investigate the role of adenosine in this platelet response. Measurements of adenosine and its precurs...
