energy crisis, global warming and other environmental issues are what motivate researchers to find new strategies to reduce energy consumption in buildings. recently, using phase change materials (pcm) in the building’s envelopes has drawn significant attention as an energy-saving method, which helps in increasing the building’s thermal capacity. in the present research, the effects of the main...

we report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of tio2-cuo-sio2 nanostructure with different precursors molar ratio and calcined temperatures. in the present work, ternary reactive powders in the tio2-cuo-sio2 systems have been obtained using the sol-gel method, by the simultaneous gelation of all cations. the compounds and other elements change in special chemical and phys...

Sleep is essential for physical and mental health. Polysomnography (PSG) procedures are labour-intensive time-consuming, making diagnosing sleep disorders difficult. Automatic staging using ML-based methods has been studied extensively, but frequently provides noisier predictions incompatible with typical manually annotated hypnograms. We propose an energy optimization method to improve the qua...

Energy production and consumption systems increasingly require more flexibility. The design of new control solutions can be a step, among others, towards However, these often rely on the use complex models, which are difficult to both manipulate simulate. This paper presents solution reduce complexity multi-energy models modeled with Modelica language. complexity-reducing is based simplifying m...

the most promising method for micro scale energy scavenging is via vibration energy harvesting which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy by the effect of coupling between electric fields and mechanical variables. using piezoelectric cantilevers is the most common method for vibration energy harvesting. changing the shape of the cantilevers can lead to changing the generated output v...
