    Soil NOx Emission Prediction via Recurrent Neural Networks

    Zhaoan Wang1, Shaoping Xiao1,*, Cheryl Reuben2, Qiyu Wang2, Jun Wang2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.1, pp. 285-297, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.044366

    Abstract This paper presents designing sequence-to-sequence recurrent neural network (RNN) architectures for a novel study to predict soil NOx emissions, driven by the imperative of understanding and mitigating environmental impact. The study utilizes data collected by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop two distinct RNN predictive models: one built upon the long-short term memory (LSTM) and the other utilizing the gated recurrent unit (GRU). These models are fed with a combination of historical and anticipated air temperature, air moisture, and NOx emissions as inputs to forecast future NOx emissions. Both LSTM and GRU models can capture the intricate pulse patterns… More >

    Effects of I-EGR and Pre-Injection on Performance of Gasoline Compression Ignition (GCI) at Low-Load Condition

    Binbin Yang1,*, Leilei Liu1, Yan Zhang1, Jingyu Gong1, Fan Zhang2, Tiezhu Zhang1

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.10, pp. 2233-2250, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.028898

    Abstract Gasoline compression ignition (GCI) has been considered as a promising combustion concept to yield ultra-low NOX and soot emissions while maintaining high thermal efficiency. However, how to improve the low-load performance becomes an urgent issue to be solved. In this paper, a GCI engine model was built to investigate the effects of internal EGR (i-EGR) and pre-injection on in-cylinder temperature, spatial concentration of mixture and OH radical, combustion and emission characteristics, and the control strategy for improving the combustion performance was further explored. The results showed an obvious expansion of the zone with an equivalence ratio between 0.8~1.2 is realized… More >

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.10, pp. 2393-2416, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.028574

    Abstract In the context of the joint operation of China’s intra-provincial markets and inter-provincial trading, how to meet the load demand and energy consumption using inter-provincial renewable energy trading is a key problem. The combined operation of intra-provincial and inter-provincial markets provides a new way for provincial power companies to optimize and clear the intra-provincial power market, complete the intra-provincial consumption responsibility weight index, and consume renewable energy across provinces and regions. This paper combines power generation and consumption within the province, uses inter-provincial renewable energy trading to meet the load demand within the province and completes the index of intra-provincial… More >

    COMBUSTION AND EMISSIONS CHARACTERISTICS OF METHANEAIR MIXTURES IN CATALYTIC MICRO-COMBUSTORS: A COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS STUDY

    Junjie Chen* , Baofang Liu, Longfei Yan, Deguang Xu

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.11, pp. 1-15, 2018, DOI:10.5098/hmt.11.2

    Abstract The combustion and emissions characteristics of methane-air mixtures in high-temperature catalytic micro-combustors were studied numerically. Both the heterogeneous and homogeneous chemistry were modeled simultaneously using detailed reaction mechanisms in order to better understand the role of each pathway in determining the product distributions. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed at a variety of pressures, temperatures, compositions, and combustor dimensions to determine their effects on the combustion and emissions characteristics. Comparisons were made between the results obtained for a purely heterogeneous case, a purely homogeneous case, and a coupled homogeneousheterogeneous case. It was shown that homogeneous and heterogeneous chemistry take place… More >

    Study of Parental Worry and Its Associated Factors in Childhood Cancer Survivorship

    Étude sur les inquiétudes parentales et ses facteurs associés dans le cadre de la rémission d’un cancer pédiatrique

    M. Vander Haegen, A.-M. Etienne

    Psycho-Oncologie, Vol.16, No.4, pp. 343-350, 2022, DOI:10.3166/pson-2022-0218

    Abstract Introduction: Studies on worry and distress in parents of a childhood cancer survivor are less developed in the literature. The aim of the study was to examine the intensity of worry and its association with intolerance of uncertainty factor and anxiety–depressive symptoms.
    Methods: In total, 61 parents of a childhood cancer survivor (4–6 years of remission) participated in the study. Parents completed several questionnaires assessing worry, intolerance of uncertainty, and anxiety–depressive symptoms.
    Results: The majority of parents suffer from anxiety symptoms and intense worries about the health of their childhood cancer survivor. The factor of intolerance of uncertainty seems to… More >

    Parents of Children Suffering from Cancer or in Remission from Cancer: a Need to Accompany Them!

    Parents d’un enfant atteint de cancer ou en rémission de cancer : une nécessité de les accompagner !

    M. Vander Haegen, C. Flahault, K. Lamore

    Psycho-Oncologie, Vol.16, No.4, pp. 339-341, 2022, DOI:10.3166/pson-2022-0215

    Abstract When cancer strikes a child, parents (and family) find themselves involved at many levels in the trajectory of the disease and treatment. This trajectory of care varies from family to family. For several years, the psycho-medical world has been implementing actions in the field to support parents of a child with cancer or in remission from cancer. As health professionals, we must continue these actions and develop a strong and harmonious partnership with parents because they are the first relays for the medical care of the child.

    Investigating the Effects of Eichhornia Crassipes Biodiesel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas on the Performance and Emissions of a Dual-Fuel Engine

    Hawraa S. Mohammed*, Mahmoud A. Mashkour

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.9, pp. 2329-2343, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.026890

    Abstract This study considers the effect of Eichhornia Crassipes Biodiesel (ECB) blends on the performances, combustion, and emission characteristics of a direct injection compression ignition engine operated in a dual-fuel mode (DFM) and equipped with an Exhaust gas recirculation technique (EGR).

    Modeling of Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch Using Improved Sand Cat Optimization Algorithm

    Fadwa Alrowais1, Jaber S. Alzahrani2, Radwa Marzouk1, Abdullah Mohamed3, Gouse Pasha Mohammed4,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.3, pp. 6145-6160, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.038300

    Abstract Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch (CEED) task forms multi-objective optimization problems to be resolved to minimize emission and fuel costs. The disadvantage of the conventional method is its incapability to avoid falling in local optimal, particularly when handling nonlinear and complex systems. Metaheuristics have recently received considerable attention due to their enhanced capacity to prevent local optimal solutions in addressing all the optimization problems as a black box. Therefore, this paper focuses on the design of an improved sand cat optimization algorithm based CEED (ISCOA-CEED) technique. The ISCOA-CEED technique majorly concentrates on reducing fuel costs and the emission of generation… More >
