Seawater desalination is emerging as one of the preferred systems for dealing with theproblems of freshwater scarcity, which makes it necessary to redouble efforts to obtain an optimaland competent production process. Fo...

Abstract In this study, concentration levels of beet powder (BP) and caramel color (CC) were optimized to simulate beef color in meat analogs before and after cooking. The central composite design of response surface met...

The effect of diffuser-enhanced flow on the energy extraction performance of hydrokinetic turbines is widely reported in the literature. In this context, this work combines automatic scripting for geometry construction a...

Abstract Pressure fluctuation due to rotor-stator interaction in turbomachinery is unavoidable, inducing strong vibration in the equipment and shortening its lifecycle. The investigation of optimization methods for an in...

Photonics inverse design relies on human experts to search for a design topology that satisfies certain optical specifications with their experience and intuitions, which is relatively labor-intensive, slow, and sub-opti...

This paper considers the problem of supply-demand imbalances in Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) services. These imbalances occur due to uneven stochastic travel demand and can be mitigated by proactively rebalancing empty vehic...

Since there is an uncertainty in the arrival times of flights, pre-scheduled allocation of runways and stands and the subsequent first-come-first-served treatment results in a sub-optimal allocation of runways and stands...

To date, various optimization algorithms have been used to design non-intuitive photonic structures with unconventional optical performance. Good training datasets facilitate the optimization process, particularly when a...

Conventional meta-atom designs rely heavily on researchers’ prior knowledge and trial-and-error searches using full-wave simulations, resulting in time-consuming and inefficient processes. Inverse design methods based ...

Abstract Autonomous-rail rapid transit (ART) is a new medium-capacity rapid transportation system with punctuality, comfort and convenience, but low-cost construction. Combined velocity planning is a critical approach to...

We propose reconfigurable anomalous reflectors with stretchable elastic substrates. The proposed reflector dynamically controls the reflection direction by mechanically stretching the substrate to induce a physical chang...

Abstract Vibration signals have the characteristics of multi-source strong shock coupling and strong noise interference owing to the complex structure of reciprocating machinery. Therefore, it is difficult to extract, an...

Additive manufacturing has become an important tool for fabricating advanced systems and devices for visible nanophotonics. However, the lack of simulation and optimization methods taking into account the essential physi...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of improving the economic value of integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) compared to conventional systems specialized in monoculture. The experimental...

Abstract Squeeze casting (SC) is an advanced net manufacturing process with many advantages for which the quality and properties of the manufactured parts depend strongly on the process parameters. Unfortunately, a unive...
