Abstract

The plasma dynamics of the self-gravitationally bounded Sun (solar interior, fireball) and its circumambient complex unbounded atmosphere (solar exterior, wind) is meta-analytically reviewed and critically analyzed. The explorations of the solar model evolution from the Standard Solar Model (SSM [1-2]) to the Gravito-Electrostatic Sheath (GES [3-6]) model predictions of the entire solar plasma system are highlighted briefly. Recent qualitative and comparative scenarios founded on these two distinct classes of solar plasma models are examined. In this context, a synoptic view of the recently reported research reports studying the solar plasma consequences, on both equilibrium and fluctuation, founded on both the SSM and GES model frameworks is presented here. Diversified features of solar equilibrium plasma dynamics modified with a self-gravitational potential barrier are outlined [3-5]. Besides, different relevant solar parameters which play as stabilizing (or destabilizing) and accelerating (or decelerating) factors influencing the collective fluctuation dynamics of the entire solar plasma system, are summarily portrayed [5-7]. The key aim of this explorative review is to present an overview of the main up-to-date investigations based on the GES-based solar plasma equilibrium and fluctuation dynamics against the SSM counterparts extensively. Moreover, the validation of the GES-based solar plasma model predictions is justifiably bolstered by several in situ solar observational data [2, 4, 6-7]. The key applicability of this meta-analytic review in solving some major long-standing solar plasma problems, thereby paving the way for futuristic investigations in the established GES-based solar plasma direction, is conclusively indicated.

Abstract

In the 20th century, big data was a concept that was very common in all disciplines. With the growth of science and technology, we need high-performance statistical methods for solving real-world problems in biology. Biostatistics is the interdisciplinary subject and emerging science of biology, which can deal with many theoretical and practical postulates drawn up from many practical illustrations of life science, medical science, and clinical science, viz., evaluation of syndromic infection based on epidemiological attributes, early screening of systematic infections, development of disease biomarkers, accurate and timely pathogen detections, identification of mutant genes associated with drug resistance and prediction of drug susceptibility, and development of algorithms for mutant genes, which were developed in-house at Med genome and were updated periodically based on predictive modelling. Every research study precluded textual and non-textual datasets, which will be aroused by the in-house experiments. As per the technology concern, data simulation and optimisation play a significant role in interpreting massive data sets without any bias. Importantly, existing life science data sequences should be integrated with suitable statistical methods for effective inference about the study population. Hypothesis testing is very common in too many research problems. Nowadays, different fundamental statistical methods have been used for the assessment of biological redundancy and the multiplicity of different endogenous and exogenous variables. In the case of biostatistics, interdisciplinary science deals with genetic traits that were assessed by DNA or RNA sequences on similar structures, organisms with similar protein expressions, multiple functions of similar genes, a grouping of proteins based on different pathways, the intercorrelation between various types of contemporary biological variables, etc. In historical phenomena, the range of statistical analysis and the designs of experiment had many practical constraints for the induction of research studies, which will be considered different groups of dependent and independent variables and are directly accessible by real biological experiments. Fortunately, there are many scientific teams working on problems related to the application of biostatistics worldwide. The literature survey on biostatistics (published articles or scientific evidence) shows too many analytical limitations because we are using long-ranging variables for the formulation of research design in complex statistical interventions, and we also developed new algorithms. It seems to be very complex, driven tools are unable to connect the research problems to the real problems of biology and biostatistics. In the realistic approach, we have cited an example, the development of algorithms for protein sequencing homology models in functional proteomics, where the sequences of each peptide have been formed into alpha () and beta () sheaths by different types of amino acids (AA), and each process of synthesis will take time quotient or retention time for binding of genetic codes, The frequency of repetitions of the amino acid threshold level is very important for the reorganisation of various loops in protein synthesis. Moreover, these newer postulates have not been formulated by biological scientists. In light of the above research gap at the global level, we are attempting to address these issues statistically through the development of a newer PSTVHM model (protein sequencing time variant homology model). These formulated models have explained the different components (explained and unexplained) of various protein sequences in biological pathways. In an overall conceptual scientific framework, we have assumed theoretical postulates for building the above model and also demonstrated protein sequencing data. Further, the latent hidden Markova random walk model was constructed from a machine learning approach, and artificial intelligence supervised and unsupervised learning was used for effective interpretations. The model was diagnostically tested with different sensitive tests by the Thompson iteration method

Abstract

In the development of agricultural industry, the focus has always been on fruit and vegetable preservation, pesticide use, and fruit ripening regulation technologies. Among them, respiratory climacteric fruits are sensitive to ethylene and often adopt the production and sales method of "picking in advance and ripening on site". It is worth noting that food safety, fruit edible quality, commodity value, and fruit industry development are closely related to the process of ripening at the destination. The commonly used techniques for regulating fruit ripening still rely mainly on spraying ethylene or ethanol, which poses problems such as pesticide residues, environmental pollution, and complex technology. This work article takes fruit ripening regulation as the research direction, develops catalysts that are conducive to electrochemical CO2 reduction to produce ethylene, constructs an electrochemical CO2 reduction to produce ethylene device, and optimizes its application. In addition, compared with the ethylene ripening technology, multiple respiratory climacteric fruits were selected as experimental fruits, and the changes in fruit texture and biological indicators were measured to compare the impact of the two fruit ripening control technologies on the edible quality of fruits. The aim is to apply electrochemical CO2 reduction technology to the field of fruit ripening control and design and optimize a safe, convenient, fast, and green fruit ripening control technology.

Abstract

Numerical modelling of dynamic loadings in composites and sandwich structures is seldom addressed in the literature. Additionally, sandwich structures also find application in different industries which, thanks to the inclusion of a low apparent density core, manage to achieve good mechanical properties in bending (increasing the second moment of area) with a low weight compromise. However, this type of material poses additional challenges due to its heterogeneous nature, generally due to stacking, resulting in complex damage mechanisms and the necessity to use failure criteria especially formulated for the evaluation and design of composite structure. This work initially evaluates the effect of the overlap length (LO) and adhesive type on the strength of composite single-lap joints (SLJ), when impact loaded, through experimental tests and cohesive zone models (CZM). It was concluded that the increase of LO increases the joint strength, especially in those with a more flexible adhesive. In a second stage, a solution is proposed that drastically reduce the lack of residual strength of composite materials, i.e., after initial impact, by combining laminates of hybrid carbon fiber/Dyneema® fabrics with an elastomeric adhesive Reverlink™, in a composite sandwich with a honeycomb core. Low and high-velocity impact tests were made, and the experimental results were compared with a CZM-based numerical predictive model, showing the improved residual strength capacity of the proposed solution, compared to using typical epoxy adhesives.

Abstract

A Universal model for the Calculation of Atoms and Particles
We present a Universal model for the effective calculation of elementary particles the model can handle any particle, atom,.. e.t.c,.. The fundamentals of the method is that everything here is constructed by a positional system exponential function of quark mass. Since it is a positional system we can describe any number or so called restmass. By ordering the quark restmasses in an positional system; “list” or sequence , of mass values , we can retrieve values from the quarks wich can be added , multiplied or exponentiated freely , particle compositions. We can make prediction , artificial prediction, set up any particle as well as hypothetic particles and then test for properties. Through versatility of the Universal particle system , we have then set up a particle language, particles are here written as formulas and equations or also if needed or wanted as numbers. The language can be freely designed , in the sense and every sense a programming language or an ordinary “verbal” – based language, by defining particles in words that we predefine. We can therefore set up constant equations for describing the rest mass of a particle even though experimental results introduce new restmass weighting values, the formulas are here invariants, deduced from algebraic composition. We present the Universal Particle Language.

Abstract

Gas turbine efficiency is intricately tied to the combustion temperature. The combustion exit temperature of modern turbine engines, or the turbine inlet temperature, can reach a staggering 1600°C, surpassing the melting point of most common metals. This underscores the importance of effective cooling designs in achieving higher efficiency and preventing thermal failures, particularly at the nozzle guide vane, where space is limited for intricate cooling configurations. In this study, we tested experimentally and computationally two innovative cooling schemes, developed by Solar Turbines Incorporate, at Virginia Tech under engine-representative transonic conditions.

The first cooling design, slashface cooling, utilizes the mateface gap between the vane sections as a cooling slot in combination with upstream jump cooling. The complex secondary flow and harsh pressure gradient in the NGV passage result in a unique ingestion-egression-ingestion-egression pattern with this scheme. Although this flow pattern hampers the upstream coolant attachment at mid-passage near the suction side, it also creates favorable coolant coverage downstream of the slashface tail-end, where thermal concentration is often observed.

The other cooling design investigated, louver cooling, utilizes the cooling configuration at the exit of the combustor to cool the turbine nozzle guide vane. Despite the distance between the louver cooling slots and the nozzle guide vane passage, this design forms a uniform film that provides good overage upstream of the NGV passage inlet once the coolant flow rate reaches 2% of the mainstream flow. In addition, the fishmouth cavity at the combustor-NGV passage causes a three-dimensional cavity vortex that transports the coolant in the pitch-wise direction toward the middle of the passages.

Our research findings demonstrate that the new cooling designs offer a promising cooling effect at specific regions in the nozzle guide vane. Combined with conventional cooling methods, they can simplify the cooling system, leading to more efficient cooling performance and, consequently, higher gas turbine efficiency.

Abstract

To enhance the lifetime of mechanical system such as automobile, new reliability methodology – parametric Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) – suggests to produce the reliability quantitative (RQ) specifications—mission cycle—for identifying the design defects and modifying them. It incorporates: (1) a parametric ALT plan formed on system BX lifetime that will be X percent of the cumulated failure, (2) a load examination for ALT, (3) a customized parametric ALTs with the design alternatives, and (4) an assessment if the system design(s) fulfil the objective BX lifetime. So, we suggest a BX life concept, life-stress (LS) model with a new effort idea, accelerated factor, and sample size equation. This new parametric ALT should help an engineer to discover the missing design parameters of the mechanical system influencing reliability in the design process. As the improper designs are experimentally identified, the mechanical system can recognize the reliability as computed by the growth in lifetime, LB, and the decrease in failure rate. Consequently, companies can escape recalls due to the product failures from the marketplace. As an experiment instance, two cases were investigated: 1) problematic reciprocating compressors in the French-door refrigerators returned from the marketplace and 2) the redesign of hinge kit system (HKS) in a domestic refrigerator. After a customized parametric ALT, the mechanical systems such as compressor and HKS with design alternatives were anticipated to fulfil the lifetime – B1 life 10 year.

Abstract

The fast-changing field of blockchain technology has increasingly been applied to supply chain management, attracting interest for its possible enhancements in transparency, efficiency, and security. This research offers an in-depth comparison of the top 10 blockchain networks, with a particular emphasis on their cost-effectiveness and smart contract functionalities within supply chain operations. We selected these networks based on their popularity, technological robustness, and adoption in industrial applications, including Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, Binance Smart Chain, Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, Tezos, Ripple, Stellar, and Algorand. Our methodology involved a quantitative analysis of transaction costs, scalability, and throughput, alongside a qualitative assessment of smart contract functionality, ease of integration with existing supply chain systems, and the level of community and developer support. We employed a mixed-methods approach, combining data analysis with expert interviews to assess each network's suitability for various types of supply chain scenarios, ranging from high-frequency low-value transactions to complex multi-party agreements. The findings suggest significant variances in both cost structures and smart contract capabilities among the examined networks. Ethereum, while highly versatile in smart contract functionalities, often encounters high transaction costs and scalability issues, which could be prohibitive for some supply chain applications. Conversely, emerging blockchains such as Solana and Polkadot present appealing alternatives with their lower costs and greater transaction capacity, although they come with compromises in network maturity and security. Hyperledger Fabric stands out for its private blockchain model, which is beneficial for supply chain partners requiring privacy and data control. The study contributes to academic discussions and practical considerations in blockchain adoption.

Abstract

Addressing the Technical Challenges
Ultra-Precise Measurements
The MEQ, being a comprehensive mathematical framework for quantifying ZPE, provides a structured approach to model the quantum fluctuations within the vacuum. This framework allows researchers to predict the expected magnitude of ZPE-related effects, guiding the design of experiments with a focus on the most significant phenomena. By providing a clear theoretical foundation, the MEQ aids in devising experimental setups that maximize precision.

Energy Conversion Efficiency
The MEQ offers insights into the energy density and fluctuations within the quantum vacuum. By understanding the underlying physics, researchers can develop more efficient energy conversion mechanisms that take advantage of specific ZPE-related phenomena. The MEQ's mathematical descriptions of ZPE fluctuations aid in optimizing energy conversion processes to minimize losses.

Thermal Noise Mitigation
MEQ-derived predictions can help distinguish ZPE-related signals from thermal noise. By modeling the expected ZPE effects under different conditions, researchers can develop noise reduction techniques that enhance the signal-to-noise ratio in ZPE experiments. This ensures that ZPE-related phenomena are detected accurately.

Experimental Reproducibility
The MEQ provides a standardized framework for calculating and predicting ZPE-related effects. Researchers can use the MEQ to design experiments with well-defined parameters, making it easier to reproduce results across different laboratories. The MEQ's mathematical rigor ensures consistency in experimental setups and measurements.

Addressing the Theoretical Constraints
Quantum Mechanical Uncertainties
While quantum mechanics introduces uncertainties, the MEQ provides a systematic and mathematically rigorous approach to quantifying these uncertainties within the context of ZPE. Researchers can use the MEQ to account for quantum uncertainties and assess their impact on ZPE-related predictions, allowing for more accurate theoretical modeling and regulation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

Complex Quantum Vacuum Dynamics
The MEQ offers a structured description of quantum vacuum dynamics, making it easier to comprehend the intricate fluctuations and interactions within the vacuum. Researchers can use the MEQ's mathematical formalism to explore and analyze these dynamics in a more organized and systematic manner.

Theoretical Boundaries 
The MEQ itself represents a pioneering effort in advancing the theoretical understanding of ZPE. By pushing the boundaries of current theoretical frameworks, the MEQ opens new avenues for exploring the quantum vacuum's properties and behaviors. Researchers can build upon the MEQ to develop novel mathematical frameworks that address previously uncharted aspects of ZPE.

Interplay with Quantum Field Theory 
ZPE extraction inherently involves the interplay between quantum field theory (QFT) and practical applications. The MEQ bridges the gap between these two domains by providing a quantitative link between the quantum vacuum's properties, as described by QFT, and the potential for energy extraction. This facilitates a more seamless integration of theoretical principles with practical ZPE technology development.

Abstract

The increasing trend for integrating renewable energy sources into the grid to achieve a cleaner energy system is one of the main reasons for the development of sustainable microgrid (MG) technologies. As typical power-electronized power systems, MGs make extensive use of power electronics converters, which are highly controllable and flexible but lead to a profound impact on the dynamic performance of the whole system. To meet the technical and economic challenges, such as active and reactive power-sharing, voltage, and frequency deviations, and imbalances between power supply and demand, the concept of hierarchical control has been introduced into MGs, allowing systems to control and manage the high capacity of renewable energy sources and loads. However, as the capacity and scale of the MG system increase, along with a multi-timescale control loop design, the multi-timescale interactions in the system may become more significant, posing a serious threat to its safe and stable operation. To investigate the multi-timescale behaviors and instability mechanisms under dynamic interactions for AC MGs, existing coordinated control strategies are discussed, and the dynamic stability of the system would be classified Finally, an outlook and discussion of future research directions for AC MGs would also be presented.
