The risk of a broad range of respiratory and heart diseases can be increased by widespread exposure to fine atmospheric particles on account of their capability to have a deep penetration into the blood streams and lung. ...
Thermal ablation (TA) is known as an alternative therapy to surgery to treat tumors. However, TA-based therapy requires advanced approaches in order to prevent causing damage to healthy tissue around the tumor and selectively ...
Fibers have been used to improve the mechanical properties of the asphalt paving mixture. It is known that the enhancement of powder compact mechanical properties is related to the compact packing microstructure. This study ...
The presented method provides the details for how each indicator in “RSAM: A Rapid Sustainability Assessment Method” is scored using a residents’ opinions-based sustainability assessment procedure that is specifically ...
This work presents data from a non-invasive interventional trial investigating the early effects of caffeine and nicotine on both the concentrations of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and haemodynamic parameters in ...

Thermal springs are natural hydrogeological features which are highly affected by local
volcanism or tectonic activity. Thermal springs are the best source of hydrothermal energy to heat houses and aid in the recovery of ...
We present SpeakingFaces as a publicly-available large-scale multimodal dataset developed to support machine learning research in contexts that utilize a combination of thermal, visual, and audio data streams; examples ...
In this article, a novel dynamic economic load dispatch with emission based on a multiobjective model (MODEED) considering demand side management (DSM) is presented. Moreover, the investigation and evaluation of impacts ...
Quantum cycles in established heat engines can be modeled with various quantum systems as working substances. For example, a heat engine can be modeled with an infinite potential well as the working substance to determine ...
Today, lithium is becoming a new strategic material capable of influencing the sustainable
development of the world economy. The results of developments in the production of innovative electrode materials
from lithium ...
In this work, we present a gold-coated shallow-tapered chirped fiber Bragg grating (stCFBG) for dual refractive index (RI) and temperature sensing. The stCFBG has been fabricated on a 15-mm long chirped FBG, by tapering a ...
While design optimization of buildings seeks to improve energy efficiency and, thus,
leads to greenhouse gas emissions reduction, the thermal performance of buildings can be
compromised. Thermal performance is an ...
This paper presents two novel automated optimization approaches. The first one proposes a framework to optimize wind turbine blades by integrating multidisciplinary 3D parametric modeling, a physics-based optimization ...
The concept of Industry 4.0 is becoming more and more popular all over the world. The implementation of its assumptions in business practice changes the way companies operate. The enormous innovative potential of the ...
