"The industrial applications of Additive manufacturing technologies and systems are quickly increasing due to the high flexibility in the part design allowing for mass customisation and reduction of material usage. Besid...

"This thesis aims to develop a model for an industrial evaporative cooling system having a chiller and a production heat source using two cooling towers, to evaluate the energy consumption of the system and find an optim...

Wireless distributed microsensor systems will enable the reliable monitoring of a variety of environments for both civil and military applications. In this paper, we look at communication protocols, which can have signif...

"The transition to renewable energy sources is reshaping energy systems globally. Germany is a leading example of this shift, having significantly increased its renewable energies (RE) generation in recent years, particu...

Current gradient-corrected density-functional approximations for the exchange energies of atomic and molecular systems fail to reproduce the correct 1/r asymptotic behavior of the exchange-energy density. Here we report ...

The increasing interest in energy storage for the grid can be attributed to multiple factors, including the capital costs of managing peak demands, the investments needed for grid reliability, and the integration of rene...

An improved way of estimating the local tangent in the nudged elastic band method for finding minimum energy paths is presented. In systems where the force along the minimum energy path is large compared to the restoring...

Preface to the Fourth Edition. 1 Biomechanics as an Interdiscipline. 1.0 Introduction. 1.1 Measurement, Description, Analysis, and Assessment. 1.2 Biomechanics and its Relationship with Physiology and Anatomy. 1.3 Scope ...

From headwaters to mouth, the physical variables within a river system present a continuous gradient of physical conditions. This gradient should elicit a series of responses within the constituent populations resulting ...
