Study on the Behavior of Cement Slurry Prepared by Vibration Agitation and Numerical Simulation of Flow Field by Ziming Kou, Tianyi Tan, Haotian Cui

“…Vibration agitation, a mechanically enhanced material mixing technique, is appropriate for preparing concrete- and other cement-based materials as it helps to eliminate the agglomeration effect between particles, improving mixing efficiency and material properties and saving resources. Applying vibration agitation to the large-scale industry is challenging primarily due to the difficulty in elucidating the microscopic mixing mechanism. …”

Enhancing network lifetime in WSNs through coot algorithm-based energy management model by Namita Shinde, Dr. Vinod H․ Patil

“…This addresses issues such as high energy consumption, communication delays, and security.To ensure energy savings and network reliability, the fitness function evaluates cluster heads and best routes based on constraints.COOT outperforms other Metaheuristics Algorithms like Butterfly Optimization Algorithm, Genetic Algorithm, Tunicate Swarm Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithm, and Bird Swarm Algorithm in simulation with performance measurements and enhancing network functionality and protection.Key methodology points include: • Proposed a multiple constraints clustering and routing technique using COAto solve the most crucial issues that arise in WSNs. • Integrated an advanced fitness function that determines cluster head selection, and the routing path based on residual energy, delay, security, trust, distance, and link quality so that energy load is evenly distributed and credible data flow is maintained across the network and made Innovative and Effective Solution. • Proven Results Demonstrated superior network performance, achieving the lowest delay, highest network lifetime (3571 rounds) and enhanced security (0.8) and trust (0.6) compared to existing algorithms with less energy consumption, making it the most suitable solution for WSN performance improvement.…”

Fourier Transform Infrared Radiation Spectroscopy Applied for Wood Rot Decay and Mould Fungi Growth Detection by Bjørn Petter Jelle, Per Jostein Hovde

“…This facilitation is made possible by pressing the sample directly onto various crystals, for example, diamond, with high refractive indices, in a special reflectance setup. Thus ATR saves time and enables the study of materials in a pristine condition, that is, the comprehensive sample preparation by pressing thin KBr pellets in traditional FTIR transmittance spectroscopy is hence avoided. …”

Power consumption modeling and optimization for NB-IoT eDRX by Xin JIAN, Yixiao WEI, Yuqin LIU, Jian SONG, Xiaoping ZENG, Xiaoheng TAN

“…To extend the battery life of massive machine type devices (MTD),narrow-band Internet of things (NB-IoT) system extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) mechanism of LTE to the maximum as well as introduced a lower power state named as power saving mode (PSM).Three Markov models were established for three typical NB-IoT traffic scenarios,which called mobile autonomous reporting periodic report (MAR-P),mobile autonomous reporting exception report (MAR-E),software update/reconfiguration (SUR).The states of each Markov model were the working status of MTDs,including connected,idle and PSM state,in which the connected state was divided into random access state and data translating/receiving state to further evaluate the additional power consumption caused by collisions from massive MTDs concurrent access.Thereby,the power consumption and delay models with respect to each traffic scenarios were derived.Since the frequency of MAR-P traffic was far greater than the other two,the battery life of this traffic case with its optimal design choice was comprehensively analyzed.Numerical results show that,the battery life is mostly influenced by transmission period,maximum number of random access attempts,maximum number of data transmissions and traffic load,which can be maximized by appropriate parameters setting up.These works provide good references for NB-IoT device behavior modeling and optimization design.…”
