An innovative approach to recovery of fluctuating industrial exhaust heat sources using cascade Rankine cycle and two-stage accumulators (2021)
Journal Article
Li, P., Cao, Q., Li, J., Lin, H., Wang, Y., Gao, G., Pei, G., Jie, D., & Liu, X. (2021). An innovative approach to recovery of fluctuating industrial exhaust heat sources using cascade Rankine cycle and two-stage accumulators. Energy, 228, Article 120587. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2021.120587

The fluctuating property of the heat source is a technical obstacle of waste heat recovery, which leads to part-load operation and reduced economics. This work presents a novel system to mitigate the fluctuations by using steam-organic Rankine cycles...

This paper examines the persistent food shortages in the island of Crete under Venetian rule (1204–1669) through the prism of the monetary system of Venetian territories and in combination with the other economic policies of the Venetian empire. From... Read More about Persistent Food Shortages in Venetian Crete: A First Hypothesis.

A Weft Knit Data Glove (2021)
Journal Article
Ayodele, E., Raza Zaidi, S. A., Scott, J., Zhang, Z., Hayajneh, A., Shittu, S., & McLernon, D. (2021). A Weft Knit Data Glove. IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 70, Article 4004212. https://doi.org/10.1109/tim.2021.3068173

Rehabilitation of stoke survivors can be expedited by employing an exoskeleton. The exercises are designed such that both hands move in synergy. In this regard often motion capture data from the healthy hand is used to derive control behaviour for th... Read More about A Weft Knit Data Glove.

Laboratory observations on meltwater meandering rivulets on ice (2021)
Journal Article
Fernández, R., & Parker, G. (in press). Laboratory observations on meltwater meandering rivulets on ice. Earth surface dynamics ESURF ; an interactive open access journal of the European Geosciences Union, 9(2), 253-269. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-9-253-2021

We present a set of observations on meltwater meandering rivulets on ice and compare them (qualitatively and quantitatively) to morphologies commonly found in meandering channels in different media. The observations include data from planned centimet... Read More about Laboratory observations on meltwater meandering rivulets on ice.

Comparative assessment of marine weathering of ROP-derived biopolymers against conventional plastics (2021)
Journal Article

By analyzing the temperature distribution cloud image of the solar cell, it was found that the temperature distribution was uneven and there was a large temperature gradient, resulting in reduced effective cell size requiring a dual inlet model. At t... Read More about Exergy analysis of a high concentration photovoltaic and thermal system for comprehensive use of heat and electricity.
