• Solar-Based DG Allocation Using Harris Hawks Optimization While Considering Practical Aspects 

      Chakraborty, Suprava; Verma, Sumit; Salgotra, Aprajita; Elavarasan, Rajvikram Madurai; Elangovan, Devaraj; Mihet-Popa, Lucian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The restructuring of power systems and the ever-increasing demand for electricity have given rise to congestion in power networks. The use of distributed generators (DGs) may play a significant role in tackling such issues. ...
    • A study of inhomogeneous massless scalar gauge fields in cosmology 

      Normann, Ben David; Hervik, Sigbjørn; Ricciardone, Angelo; Thorsrud, Mikjel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Why is the Universe so homogeneous and isotropic? We summarize a general study of a γ-law perfect fluid alongside an inhomogeneous, massless scalar gauge field (with homogeneous gradient) in anisotropic spaces with General ...
    • Synthesis and antimicrobial activities of chitosan/polypropylene carbonate-based nanoparticles 

      Quan, Zhilong; Luo, Chunyang; Zhu, Bitong; Zhao, Chungui; Yang, Mingyi; Bjørås, Magnar; Zhu, Kaizheng; Kjøniksen, Anna-Lena (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Antibiotic resistance is an emerging threat to public health. The development of a new generation of antimicrobial compounds is therefore currently required. Here we report a novel antimicrobial polymer of chitosan/polypropylene ...
    • Synthesis and Characterization of a Thermoresponsive Copolymer with an LCST–UCST-like Behavior and Exhibiting Crystallization 

      Gjerde, Natalie Solfrid; Giudice, Alessandra Del; Zhu, Kaizheng; Knudsen, Kenneth Dahl; Galantini, Luciano; Schillén, Karin; Nyström, Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      In this work, the diblock copolymer methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (MPEG–b-PCL) was synthesized with a block composition that allows this polymer in aqueous media to possess both an upper critical ...
    • A Transformerless Non-Isolated Multi-Port DC- DC Converter for Hybrid Energy Applications 

      Aravind, R.; Chokkalingam, Bharatiraja; Mihet-Popa, Lucian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      This paper presents a novel high-gain non-isolated Four Port DC-DC converter (FPC) topology for hybrid energy applications. The proposed four-port dc-dc converter interfaces four power ports of three input ports and one ...
    • Uav-based bridge inspection via transfer learning 

      Aliyari, Mostafa; Droguett, Enrique Lopez; Ayele, Yonas Zewdu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10-14)
      As bridge inspection becomes more advanced and more ubiquitous, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as machine and deep learning, could offer suitable solutions to the nation’s problems of overdue bridge inspections. ...
    • User and Professional Aspects for Sustainable Computing Based on the Internet of Things in Europe 

      Pospelova, Vera; López-Baldominos, Inés; Fernandez-Sanz, Luis; Castillo-Martínez, Ana; Misra, Sanjay (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The commonly accepted definition of sustainability considers the availability of relevant resources to make an activity feasible and durable while also recognizing users’ support as an essential part of the social side of ...
