The increasing demand for materials capable of withstanding high temperatures and harsh environments necessitates the discovery of advanced alloys.This study introduces a computational routine to predict solid-state phase stability and calculates elastic constants to determine high temperature viability.With it, machine learning models were trained
Co-Torrefaction Progress of Biomass Residue/Waste Obtained for High-Value Bio-Solid Products
The co-torrefaction of several biomasses may be a viable solution in the study area, as it produces biofuels and addresses waste-treatment concerns.This review evaluates biomass through ultimate, proximate, and FTIR analyses, and the mechanism of the co-torrefaction process is observed for product quality with a synergistic effect.Furthermore, the
ECOPS: Energy-Efficient Collaborative Opportunistic Positioning for Heterogeneous Mobile Devices
The fast growing popularity of smartphones and tablets enables us to use various intelligent mobile applications.As many of those applications RSH VEST require position information, smart mobile devices provide positioning methods such as Global Positioning System (GPS), WiFi-based positioning system (WPS), or Cell-ID-based positioning service.Howe
Impacts of solar-absorbing aerosol layers on the transition of stratocumulus to trade cumulus clouds
The effects of an initially overlying layer of solar-absorbing aerosol on the transition of stratocumulus to trade cumulus clouds are examined using large-eddy simulations.For lightly drizzling cloud the transition is generally hastened, resulting mainly from increased cloud droplet number concentration (Nc) induced by entrained aerosol.The increas
Hematopoietic differentiation is characterized by a transient peak of entropy at a single-cell level
Abstract Background Mature blood cells arise from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow by a process of differentiation along one of several different lineage trajectories.This is often represented as a series of discrete steps of increasing progenitor cell commitment to a given lineage, but as for differentiation in general, whether the proc
