Performance enhancement of nonlinear asymmetric bistable energy harvesting from harmonic, random and human motion excitations

Numerical and experimental investigations of nonlinear bistable energy harvesters (BEHs) with asymmetric potential functions are presented under various excitations for performance enhancement. Basin of attraction under...

Fast decoupled state estimation for distribution networks considering branch ampere measurements
Fast decoupled state estimation (FDSE) is proposed for distribution networks, with fast convergence and high efficiency. Conventionally, branch current magnitude measurements cannot be incorporated into FDSE models; however, in...
Optimum resistance analysis and experimental verification of nonlinear piezoelectric energy harvesting from human motions

The complex dynamic behavior of nonlinear harvesters make it difficult to identify the optimum mechanical and electrical parameters for maximum output power, when compared to linear energy harvesting devices. In addition, the...

A framework for sustainable management of the platform service supply chain
Platforms have become an effective means of innovation in the logistics sector. However, not all platform-based business models become a success. This research investigates how a platform strategy can lead to a sustainable...

The Application and Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Blockchain
AI-enabled blockchain refers to the use of AI to enable the analysis and decision-making processes based on data collected, shared, and stored by blockchain. This helps overcome some of the existing challenges in blockchain...
The cascade of global trade to large climate forcing over the Tibetan Plateau glaciers.
Black carbon (BC) aerosols constitute unique and important anthropogenic climate forcers that potentially accelerate the retreat of glaciers over the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau (HTP). Here we show that a large amount of BC...
A protein complex required for polar growth of rhizobial infection threads
Abstract: During root nodule symbiosis, intracellular accommodation of rhizobia by legumes is a prerequisite for nitrogen fixation. For many legumes, rhizobial colonization initiates in root hairs through transcellular infection...
Optimal design and performance analysis of a hybrid system combing a floating wind platform and wave energy converters
Combined floating offshore wind platform and Wave Energy Converters (WECs) systems have the potential to provide a cost-effective solution to offshore power supply and platform protection. The objective of this paper is to...
The Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of the Evi1 proto-oncogene, egl-43, coordinates G1 cell cycle arrest with pro-invasive gene expression during anchor cell invasion
Cell invasion allows cells to migrate across compartment boundaries formed by basement membranes. Aberrant cell invasion is a first step during the formation of metastases by malignant cancer cells. Anchor cell (AC) invasion in...
