Kink oscillations, which are frequently observed in coronal loops and prominences, are often accompanied by extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) waves. However, much more needs to be explored regarding the causal relationships between kink oscillations and …

Most of nonlinear oscillators composed of capacitive and inductive variables can obtain the Hamilton energy by using the Helmholtz theorem when the models are rewritten in equivalent vector forms. The energy functions for biophysical neurons can …

More demand-side flexible resources (DFRs) are participating in the frequency regulation of renewable power systems, whose heterogeneous characteristics have a significant impact on the system frequency response. Consequently, selecting suitable …

In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), the provision of sustainable power to distributed, mobile, and low-power-consumption electronic devices is a critical challenge. To overcome this challenge, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), a …

The energy harvesting technology for the ubiquitous natural wind enables a desirable solution to the issue of distributed sensors in the bridge environmental sensing Internet of Things (IoT) system being restricted to conventional energy supply.

The 6–8 wt% yttria-stabilized zirconia with a tetragonal structure (t′-YSZ) is extensively employed in thermal barrier coatings. The exceptional fracture toughness of t′-YSZ can be attributed to its distinctive ferroelastic toughening mechanism.

The quality factor (Q factor) is a crucial performance parameter for resonators. In this paper, a novel release method for high-quality micro fused silica shell resonators with teeth-like tines with good surface morphology is proposed. This method …

The enhancement of pool boiling heat transfer using porous media has been extensively studied. Although the two-phase distribution and evolution in porous media are crucial to the heat transfer performance, including the critical heat flux (CHF) …

Rhenium separation from molybdenum in molybdenite minerals and waste leachate has become an emerging challenge. Addressing this challenge, we prepared a set of protein-based alkylamine/alkylammonium salts complexes as extradants for selective …

In this study, a structure-optimized two-phase microchannel heat sink with sintered submicron nucleation sites was developed and tested. The copper-based microchannels had a rectangular cross-section with an equivalent hydraulic diameter of 222 …

Based on constructal theory, a rectangular parallel phase change microchannel model in a three-dimensional electronic device (TDED) is established with R134a as the cooling fluid. Based on the minimization of a complex function (CF) composed of …

Chinese urban residential buildings face serious indoor air quality problems. Air purification systems (e.g., air purifiers, fresh air systems) that supply fresh air or purify indoor air are widely used in residential buildings to improve indoor …

In this study, a novel model of photothermal conversion in a direct absorption solar collector based on the Monte Carlo and finite volume methods was built and validated and the temperatures of the novel and traditional solar collectors were …

We present a numerically stable one-point quadrature rule for the stiffness matrix and mass matrix of the three-dimensional numerical manifold method (3D NMM). The rule simplifies the integration over irregularly shaped manifold elements and …
