Design strategies for achieving reliable, affordable, and clean electricity are crucial for energy sustainability.Attaining it requires managing the three core factors (TCF) of the energy trilemma (ET) to increase reliability HAIR FORMULA (energy equity), minimize the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) (energy equity), and avoid potential CO2 emi
Changes in a Giant Iceberg Created from the Collapse of the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, Derived from Sentinel-1 and CryoSat-2 Data
The giant tabular iceberg A68 broke away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, in July 2017.The evolution of A68 would have been affected by both the Larsen C Ice Shelf, the surrounding sea ice, and the nearby shallow seafloor.In this study, we analyze the initial evolution of iceberg A68A—the largest originating from A68—in
Dendrimers for Drug Delivery
Dendrimers have come a long way in the last 25 years since their inception.Originally created as a wonder molecule of chemistry, dendrimer is now in the fourth class of polymers.Dr.Donald Tomalia first published his seminal work on Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers in 1985.Application of dendrimers as a drug delivery system started in late 1990s.
New paradigms of urinary tract infections: Implications for patient management
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent one of the most commonly acquired diseases among the general population as well as hospital in-patients, yet remain difficult to effectively and consistently treat.High rates of recurrence, anatomic abnormalities, and functional disturbances of the urinary tract all contribute to the difficulty in managemen
Digitization of chemical process flow diagrams using deep convolutional neural networks
Advances in deep convolutional neural networks led to breakthroughs in many computer vision applications.In chemical engineering, a number of tools have been developed for the digitization of Process and Instrumentation Diagrams.However, there is no framework for the digitization of process flow diagrams (PFDs).PFDs are difficult to digitize becaus
