A novel chaotic Henry gas solubility optimization algorithm for solving real-world engineering problems

The paper proposes a novel metaheuristic based on integrating chaotic maps into a Henry gas solubility optimization algorithm (HGSO). The new algorithm is named chaotic Henry gas solubility optimization (CHGSO). The hybridization is aimed at enhancement of the convergence rate of the original Henry gas solubility optimizer for solving real-life engineering optimization problems. This hybridization provides a problem-independent optimization algorithm. The CHGSO performance is evaluated using various conventional constrained optimization problems, e.g., a welded beam problem and a cantilever beam problem. The performance of the CHGSO is investigated using both the manufacturing and diaphragm spring design problems taken from the automotive industry. The results obtained from using CHGSO for solving the various constrained test problems are compared with a number of established and newly invented metaheuristics, including an artificial bee colony algorithm, an ant colony algorithm, a cuckoo search algorithm, a salp swarm optimization algorithm, a grasshopper optimization algorithm, a mine blast algorithm, an ant lion optimizer, a gravitational search algorithm, a multi-verse optimizer, a Harris hawks optimization algorithm, and the original Henry gas solubility optimization algorithm. The results indicate that with selecting an appropriate chaotic map, the CHGSO is a robust optimization approach for obtaining the optimal variables in mechanical design and manufacturing optimization problems.

MULTIVARIABLE FUZZY PID CONTROL SYSTEM FOR DEAERATOR'S AND CONDENSER'S LEVELS IN A THERMAL POWERUNIT

With the aim of reforming the control system of the levels of deaerator and condenser of a 200 MW thermal power unit, a multivariable fuzzy PID control system was proposed and has been used to practice. The novel control system has worked well since it was put into operation in March 1997.     

Chemiluminescent and Antioxidant Micelles as Theranostic Agents for Hydrogen Peroxide Associated‐Inflammatory Diseases

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is one of essential oxygen metabolites in living organisms, but is generated in large amounts during inflammatory responses. Therefore, H₂O₂ has great potential as diagnostic and therapeutic markers of several inflammatory and life‐threatening diseases. Here, chemiluminescent and antioxidant micelles are reported as novel theranostic agents for H₂O₂‐associated inflammatory diseases. The chemiluminescent micelles composed of amphiphilic block copolymer Pluronic F‐127, hydroxybenzyl alcohol‐incorporated copolyoxalate (HPOX) and fluorescent dyes perform peroxalate chemiluminescence reactions to detect H₂O₂ as low as 100 nM and image H₂O₂ generated in inflamed mouse ankles. The micelles encapsulating HPOX reduce the generation of reactive oxygen species in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐activated macrophages by scavenging overproduced H₂O₂ and releasing antioxidant hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA). They also exert inhibitory effects on H₂O₂‐induced apoptosis. HPOX‐based chemiluminescent and antioxidant micelles have great potential as a theranostic agent for H₂O₂‐associated inflammatory diseases.     

Highly Customizable All Solution–Processed Polymer Light Emitting Diodes with Inkjet Printed Ag and Transfer Printed Conductive Polymer Electrodes

Inkjet and transfer printing processes are combined to easily form patterned poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films as top anodes of all solution–processed inverted polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) on rigid glass and flexible plastic substrates. An adhesive PEDOT:PSS ink is formulated and fully customizable patterns are obtained using the inkjet printing process. In order to transfer the patterned PEDOT:PSS films, adhesion properties at interfaces during multistep transfer printing processes are carefully adjusted. The transferred PEDOT:PSS film on the plastic substrates shows not only a sheet resistance of 260.6 Ω/□ and a transmittance of 92.1% at 550 nm wavelength but also excellent mechanical flexibility. The PLEDs with spin‐coated functional layers sandwiched between the transferred PEDOT:PSS top anodes and inkjet‐printed Ag bottom cathodes are fabricated. The fabricated PLEDs on the plastic substrates show a high current efficiency of 10.4 cd A^?1 and high mechanical stability. It is noted that because both Ag and PEDOT:PSS electrodes can be patterned with a high degree of freedom via the inkjet printing process, highly customizable PLEDs with various pattern sizes and shapes are demonstrated on the glass and plastic substrates. Finally, with all solution process, a 5 × 7 passive matrix PLED array is demonstrated.     

Comparison of land surface temperature (LST) modeled with a spatially-distributed solar radiation model (SRAD) and remote sensing data

The solar radiation model SRAD was applied to a Mediterranean mountainous environment in southern California for estimating land surface temperature (LST). The simulated SRAD LST results were compared with high- and meso-resolution satellite-based LST data at daily, monthly and annual temporal scales to identify potential ways of improving the LST accuracy in either the SRAD or satellite-based approaches. It was found that mean monthly and annual LST from SRAD closely matched the MODIS LST observations (but for the fact they were from 0.7 to 1.5 °C lower) while the daily LST from SRAD agreed less well with ASTER observations and were 2.1 °C and 4.8 °C higher for 01/23/05 and 07/21/06, respectively. High mountainous, steep and south/north facing slopes resulted in large discrepancies in LST estimates and the winter LST estimates are more sensitive to terrain factors and their associated land use/cover characteristics than the summer estimates. It is therefore suggested that vertically variable elevation lapse rates, spatially distributed surface albedo and leaf area index for the time-specific simulations that represent the heterogeneity of land surface characteristics be used in SRAD inputs. The results also show how instantaneous model outputs rather than lumped average daily outputs offer better comparisons with satellite based data as well.

Thermal resistance of polyurethane adhesives containing aluminum hydroxide and dealkaline or alkaline lignin

For the sustainability of the polyurethane resin (PUR) industry, petroleum-based materials must be replaced with renewable resource and economic aspects must be considered. Lignin is a renewable, thermostable biomass consisted with a phenolic polymer. As a thermostable bio-filler for PUR adhesives, acidic or basic lignin was blended with an amphiprotic inorganic filler, to reduce the resins and product costs due to cheap, unmodified materials. The thermal resistance of the PUR adhesives was evaluated by measuring adhesion before and after heating and with and without a mechanical effect caused by substrate penetration. The results show that after heating at 200°C, the PURs containing 7.5 or 15 wt% of dealkaline lignin or 7.5 wt% of alkaline lignin decomposed more slowly than the lignin-free PUR. The properties of the PURs were also analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Additionally, the PURs containing over 30 wt% of dealkaline lignin show potential as environmentally friendly water-blown PUR foams.
