Abstract Image-based computational models have been used for vulnerable plaque progression and rupture predictions, and good results have been reported. However, mechanisms and predictions for plaque erosion are under-investigated. Patient-specific fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) follow-up data from patients with plaque erosion and who received conservative antithrombotic treatment (using medication, no stenting) to identify risk factors that could be used to predict the treatment outcome. OCT and angiography data were obtained from 10 patients who received conservative antithrombotic treatment. Five participants had worse outcomes (WOG, stenosis severity ≥ 70% at one-year… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Rhizoctonia solani Kühn and Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. are the primary soil-borne plant diseases responsible for significant reductions in global crop yields. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the antifungal potentials of clove essential oil (CEO), nanoemulsion form (CEONE) and chitosan/nanoemulsion nanocomposite (CS/CEONE) against R. solani and S. rolfsii through in vitro and in vivo trials. Both CEONE and CS/CEONE were prepared and investigated for their physical chemical and morphological characterization. The poisoned medium method was utilized to evaluate the inhibitory effects of CEO, CEONE and CS/CEONE on the mycelial growth and enzymatic activity of R. solani and S. rolfsii. The… More >

Abstract The primary factor contributing to frequency instability in microgrids is the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources. This paper introduces novel dual-backup controllers utilizing advanced fractional order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) controllers to enhance frequency and tie-line power stability in microgrids amid increasing renewable energy integration. To improve load frequency control, the proposed controllers are applied to a two-area interconnected microgrid system incorporating diverse energy sources, such as wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, diesel generators, and various storage technologies. A novel meta-heuristic algorithm is adopted to select the optimal parameters of the proposed controllers. The efficacy… More >

Abstract A fluid-structure interaction approach is proposed in this paper based on Non-Ordinary State-Based Peridynamics (NOSB-PD) and Updated Lagrangian Particle Hydrodynamics (ULPH) to simulate the fluid-structure interaction problem with large geometric deformation and material failure and solve the fluid-structure interaction problem of Newtonian fluid. In the coupled framework, the NOSB-PD theory describes the deformation and fracture of the solid material structure. ULPH is applied to describe the flow of Newtonian fluids due to its advantages in computational accuracy. The framework utilizes the advantages of NOSB-PD theory for solving discontinuous problems and ULPH theory for solving fluid… More >

Abstract A transition to clean hydrogen energy will not be possible until the issues related to its production, transportation, storage, etc., are adequately resolved. Currently, however, it is possible to use methane-hydrogen mixtures. Natural gas can be transported using a pipeline system with the required pressure being maintained by gas compression stations. This method, however, is affected by some problems too. Compressors emergency stops can be induced by vibrations because in some cases, mechanical methods are not able to reduce the vibration amplitude. As an example, it is known that a gas-dynamic flow effect in labyrinth… More >

Abstract Green supplier selection is an important debate in green supply chain management (GSCM), attracting global attention from scholars, especially companies and policymakers. Companies frequently search for new ideas and strategies to assist them in realizing sustainable development. Because of the speculative character of human opinions, supplier selection frequently includes unreliable data, and the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy soft set (IVPFSS) provides an exceptional capacity to cope with excessive fuzziness, inconsistency, and inexactness through the decision-making procedure. The main goal of this study is to come up with new operational laws for interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy soft numbers More >

Abstract This study aims to improve the performances of the high-pressure water descaling technology used in steel hot rolling processes. In particular, a 2050 mm hot rolling line is considered, and the problem is investigated by means of a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) method by which the descaling effect produced by rolling coils with different section sizes is examined. Assuming a flat fan-shaped nozzle at the entrance of the R1R2 roughing mill, the out- flow field characteristics and the velocity distribution curve on the strike line (at a target distance of 30–120 mm) are determined. It is More >

Abstract Offline signature verification (OfSV) is essential in preventing the falsification of documents. Deep learning (DL) based OfSVs require a high number of signature images to attain acceptable performance. However, a limited number of signature samples are available to train these models in a real-world scenario. Several researchers have proposed models to augment new signature images by applying various transformations. Others, on the other hand, have used human neuromotor and cognitive-inspired augmentation models to address the demand for more signature samples. Hence, augmenting a sufficient number of signatures with variations is still a challenging task. This… More >

Abstract Gases containing sulfur oxides can cause corrosion and failure of bellows used as furnace blowers in high-temperature environments. In order to mitigate this issue, the behavior of an effective blast furnace blower has been examined in detail. Firstly, the Sereda corrosion model has been introduced to simulate the corrosion rate of the related bellows taking into account the effects of temperature and SO₂ gas; such results have been compared with effective measurements; then, the average gas velocity in the pipeline and the von Mises stress distribution of the inner draft tube have been analyzed using a More >

Abstract Paravalvular Leakage (PVL) has been recognized as one of the most dangerous complications in relation to Transcathether Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) activities. However, data available in the literature about Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) for this specific problem are relatively limited. In the present study, the fluid and structure responses of the hemodynamics along the patient aorta model and the aortic wall deformation are studied with the aid of numerical simulation taking into account PVL and 100% TAVI valve opening. In particular, the aorta without valve (AWoV) is assumed as the normal condition, whereas an aorta… More >
