A comprehensive computational engineering analysis is carried out in order to assess suitability of the Ti/TiAl3 metal/intermetallic laminated composites (MILCs) for use in both structural and add-on armor applications.This class of composite materials consists of alternating sub-millimeter thick layers of Ti (the ductile and tough constituent) and

Lavender is one of the most appreciated aromatic plants, with high economic value in food, cosmetics, perfumery, and pharmaceutical industries.Lavender essential oil (LEO) is known to have demonstrative antimicrobial, antioxidant, therapeutic, flavor and fragrance properties.Conventional extraction methods, e.g., steam distillation (SD) PW Sticker

With the increasing penetration of renewable distributed energy resources (DER) in power grids, virtual power plant (VPP) as an effective management technology of DERs has attracted widespread attentions.In this paper, a two-stage energy economic optimal scheduling method is proposed for VPP in a deregulated electricity market, which consists of da
