Abstract Wastewater generated by the textile industry contains high levels of various pollutants. Advanced conventional methods, such as chemical and electrical treatments, are effective in addressing these contaminants. However, the significant operational and capital costs associated with these conventional systems limit their accessibility for industrial stakeholders. In contrast, more economically viable methods tend to be less efficient. This study aims to identify a suitable approach for integrating photocatalytic degradation (PCD) with a low-cost method to enhance the cost-effectiveness of wastewater treatment processes in the textile sector. The study utilized silver copper sulfide (AgCuS) nanocomposites as a… More >

Abstract High entropy alloys (HEA) are considered as the candidate materials for the next generation of nuclear systems due to the excellent high temperature properties and radiation resistance. However, for the lack of atomic lattice distortion information from the micromechanical description, the existing simulation methods are difficult to capture the microstructure and damage evolution of the HEA at submicron scale. To address this, we develop the random field theory informed discrete dislocation dynamics simulations based on the results of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy to systematically clarify the role of heterogeneous lattice strain on the complex interactions… More >

Abstract The multi-principal elemental alloys (MPEAs) exhibit excellent combinations of mechanical properties and radiation-resistant, are considered potential candidates for aerospace industries and advanced reactors. However, the quantitative contribution of microstructure on the strengthening mechanism remains challenging at the micro-scale, which greatly limits the long-term application. To address this, we developed a hierarchical multiscale simulation framework that covers potential physical mechanisms to explore the hardening effects of chemical short-range order (CSRO) and irradiation defects in MPEA. Firstly, by combining atomic simulation, discrete dislocation dynamics, and crystal plasticity finite element method, a hierarchical cross-scale model covering heterostructure lattice… More >

Abstract The design and development of solar dryers are crucial in regions with abundant solar energy, such as Bhopal, India, where seasonal variations significantly impact the efficiency of drying processes. The paper is focused on employing a comprehensive mathematical model to predict the dryer’s performance in drying the materials such as banana slices. To enhance this model, Hyper Tuned Swarm Optimization with Gradient Tree (HT_SOGT) was utilized to accurately predict and determine the optimal size of the dryer dimensions considering various mathematical calculations for material drying. The predictive model considered the influence of seasonal fluctuations, ensuring More >

Abstract Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is one of the most promising solar technologies for sustainable power generation in countries with high solar potential, like Chad. Identifying suitable sites is of great importance for deploying solar power plants. This work focuses on the identification of potential sites for the installation of solar power plants in Chad as well as a comparative analysis using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP), and Full Consistency Method (FUCOM). The results show that 35% of the Chadian territory, i.e., an area of 449,400 km², is compatible with the implementation… More >

Abstract Nuclear energy demands radiation-resistant metal materials. Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) show superior radiation resistance over traditional alloys due to lattice distortion, promising for advanced reactors. However, damage evolution and mechanical performance of irradiated MPEAs under loading are unclear, limiting long-term application. We investigated hardening behavior induced by irradiation defects like dislocation loops and voids in MPEAs using crystal plasticity models and experiments. Here, we developed i) a stochastic field theory-based discrete dislocation dynamics simulation. A novel cross-slip mechanism in irradiated crystals was unveiled through co-linear reactions between dislocations and diamond perfect loops [1]; ii) With… More >

Abstract To make full use of plant shell fibers (rice husk, walnut shell, chestnut shell), three kinds of wood-plastic composites of plant shell fibers and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were prepared. X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out on three kinds of plant shell fibers to test their crystallinity. The aging process of the composites was conducted under 2 different conditions. One was artificial seawater immersion and xenon lamp irradiation, and the other one was deionized water spray and xenon lamp irradiation. The mechanical properties (tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength), changes in color, water absorption, Fourier transform… More >

Abstract The Myc gene is the essential oncogene in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study investigates the synergistic effects of combining Myc decoy oligodeoxynucleotides-encapsulated niosomes-selenium hybrid nanocarriers with X-irradiation exposure on the MDA-MB-468 cell line. Decoy and scramble ODNs for Myc transcription factor were designed and synthesized based on promoter sequences of the Bcl2 gene. The nanocarriers were synthesized by loading Myc ODNs and selenium into chitosan (Chi-Se-DEC), which was then encapsulated in niosome-nanocarriers (NISM@Chi-Se-DEC). FT-IR, DLS, FESEM, and hemolysis tests were applied to confirm its characterization and physicochemical properties. Moreover, cellular uptake, cellular toxicity, apoptosis, cell More > Graphic Abstract
