    Nidhika Chauhan1, Navneet Kaur2, Kamaljit Singh Saini3, Sahil Verma3, Kavita3, Ruba Abu Khurma4,5, Pedro A. Castillo6,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.3, pp. 3757-3782, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.046516 - 20 June 2024

    Abstract Cloud computing is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field, where the demand for resources fluctuates continuously. This paper delves into the imperative need for adaptability in the allocation of resources to applications and services within cloud computing environments. The motivation stems from the pressing issue of accommodating fluctuating levels of user demand efficiently. By adhering to the proposed resource allocation method, we aim to achieve a substantial reduction in energy consumption. This reduction hinges on the precise and efficient allocation of resources to the tasks that require those most, aligning with the broader goal of… More >

    Maie Aboghazalah1,*, Passent El-kafrawy2, Abdelmoty M. Ahmed3, Rasha Elnemr5, Belgacem Bouallegue3, Ayman El-sayed4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.3, pp. 3855-3875, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039936 - 20 June 2024

    Abstract Heart monitoring improves life quality. Electrocardiograms (ECGs or EKGs) detect heart irregularities. Machine learning algorithms can create a few ECG diagnosis processing methods. The first method uses raw ECG and time-series data. The second method classifies the ECG by patient experience. The third technique translates ECG impulses into Q waves, R waves and S waves (QRS) features using richer information. Because ECG signals vary naturally between humans and activities, we will combine the three feature selection methods to improve classification accuracy and diagnosis. Classifications using all three approaches have not been examined till now. Several More >

    Knowledge Mapping of Hybrid Solar PV and Wind Energy Standalone Systems: A Bibliometric Analysis

    Quan Zhou*, Haiyang Li

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.7, pp. 1781-1803, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2024.049387 - 11 June 2024

    Abstract Renewable energy is becoming more attractive as traditional fossil fuels are rapidly depleted and expensive, and their use would release pollutants. Power systems that use both wind and solar energy are more reliable and efficient than those that utilize only one energy. Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are viable for remote areas operating in standalone mode. This paper aims to present the state-of-the-art research on off-grid solar-wind hybrid energy systems over the last two decades. More than 1500 published articles extracted from the Web of Science are analyzed by bibliometric methods and processed by CiteSpace… More >

    Abstract The development of bio-sourced materials is essential to ensuring sustainable construction; it is considered a locomotive of the green economy. Furthermore, it is an abundant material in our country, to which very little attention is being given. This work aims to valorize the waste of the trunks of banana trees to be used in construction. Firstly, the physicochemical properties of the fiber, such as the percentage of crystallization and its morphology, have been determined by X-ray diffraction tests and scanning electron microscopy to confirm the potential and the impact of the mode of drying on… More >

    New Problems of Boiler Corrosion after Coupling Combustion of Coal and Biomass and Anti-Corrosion Technologies

    Lei Wang1, Ziran Ma1,*, Chunlin Zhao1, Jiali Zhou1, Hongyan Wang1, Ge Li1, Ningling Zhou2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.4, pp. 799-814, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.047343 - 12 June 2024

    Abstract This study explores the corrosion issues arising from the coupled combustion of coal and biomass and proposes potential solutions. Biomass, as a renewable energy source, offers advantages in energy-saving and carbon reduction. However, the corrosive effects of alkali metal compounds, sulfur (S) and chlorine (Cl) elements in the ash after combustion cannot be underestimated due to the high volatile content of biomass fuels. We investigate the corrosion mechanisms, as well as the transfer of Cl and alkali metal elements during this process. Comparative corrosion analyses are conducted among coal-fired boilers, pure biomass boilers and boilers… More >

    Morphological Evolution of Self-Assembled Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate/Dodecyltrimethylammonium Bromide@Epoxy-β-Cyclodextrin Supramolecular Aggregates Induced by Temperature

    Qingran Meng1,2, Wenwen Xu2, Zuobing Xiao2, Qinfei Ke1,2,*, Xingran Kou1,2,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.4, pp. 629-641, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.029182 - 12 June 2024

    Abstract Bio-based cyclodextrins (CDs) are a common research object in supramolecular chemistry. The special cavity structure of CDs can form supramolecular self-assemblies such as vesicles and microcrystals through weak interaction with guest molecules. The different forms of supramolecular self-assemblies can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. The regulation of supramolecular self-assembly is not only helpful to understand the self-assembly principle, but also beneficial to its application. In the present study, the self-assembly behavior of epoxy-β-cyclodextrin (EP-β-CD) and mixed anionic and cationic surfactant system (sodium dodecyl sulfate/dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, SDS/DTAB) in aqueous solution was studied. Morphological… More > Graphic Abstract

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.18, No.4, pp. 409-423, 2024, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2024.048597 - 05 June 2024

    Abstract In this paper, recycled carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) mixture (CFRP-M, including recycled carbon fiber and powder) and refined recycled CFRP fiber (CFRP-F, mostly recycled carbon fiber) were added to cement to study the influence of addition on the flexural strength, compressive strength, and fluidity of cement-based materials. The recycled CFRP were prepared by mechanically processing the prepreg scraps generated during the manufacture of CFRP products. For comparison, commercial carbon fiber powder was also added in cement and the performance was compared to that of addition of recycled CFRP.

    Hong Pang1, Ao Lu1, Ming Xiong1, Chen Chen1, Xian Cao1, Xiong Xu2,3,*, Jing Wang1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.5, pp. 1063-1074, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.044000 - 07 June 2024

    Abstract Conventional repairing methods for asphalt pavement have some inconveniences, such as insufficient strength, and are typically time-consuming. To address these issues, this study proposes a new technological method to design and prepare a high-performance assembled asphalt concrete block for fast repair of the potholes. A series of composite modified asphalt binders with 10% crumb rubber (CR) and different dosages (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%) of polyurethane (PU) are examined to determine the optimized binder. Subsequently, the corresponding asphalt mixtures are prepared for further comparison and assessment of engineering properties, such as moisture-induced damage, high-temperature deformation, and More >

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.6, pp. 1607-1636, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2024.047255 - 21 May 2024

    Abstract This paper addresses the micro wind-hydrogen coupled system, aiming to improve the power tracking capability of micro wind farms, the regulation capability of hydrogen storage systems, and to mitigate the volatility of wind power generation. A predictive control strategy for the micro wind-hydrogen coupled system is proposed based on the ultra-short-term wind power prediction, the hydrogen storage state division interval, and the daily scheduled output of wind power generation. The control strategy maximizes the power tracking capability, the regulation capability of the hydrogen storage system, and the fluctuation of the joint output of the wind-hydrogen… More >
