Optimization of chiral lattice based metastructures for broadband vibration suppression using genetic algorithms
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
One of the major challenges in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering is to develop vibration suppression systems with high efficiency and low cost. Recent studies have shown that high damping performance at broadband ...
QoE-oriented resource efficiency for 5G two-tier cellular networks: A femtocaching framework
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Video streaming applications and services (VASs) consume an enormous amount of scarce resources in mobile devices and cellular wireless networks due to the demand for high data rates of video streaming. The limited resource ...
A versatile in situ etching-growth strategy for synthesis of yolk–shell structured periodic mesoporous organosilica nanocomposites
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
This paper describes a versatile in situ etching-growth strategy for the preparation of periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) composites with yolk-shell structure, which can generate the void space and construct the outer ...
Improvement in the photovoltaic properties of hybrid solar cells by incorporating a QD-composite in the hole transport layer
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
A hybrid solar cell (HSC) based on a ZnSe and CdSe QDs-composite with improved conversion efficiency has been demonstrated. A novel approach of incorporating a QDs-composite (CdSe and ZnSe QDs simultaneously), in the ...
Enhanced photovoltaic performance with co-sensitization of a ruthenium(ii) sensitizer and an organic dye in dye-sensitized solar cells
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Co-sensitization is demonstrated to be an effective technique to enhance the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells, where an efficiency of 9.23% is achieved by mixing N3 and RK-1 dyes. The assembled solar cells are ...
An Efficient Boost Converter for Energy Storage Systems in a DC Distribution System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Power Electronic components and the converters are the mainstays of DC distribution. An Energy Storage System (ESS) is also required to keep the voltage on the DC bus stable. The intermittent power received from renewables ...
Mesoporous silica filled smart super oleophilic fibers of triblock copolymer nanocomposites for oil absorption applications
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
Super oleophilic fibers of styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymer/mesoporous silica (MS) nanocomposites are fabricated by electrospinning, and their oil absorption efficiency is monitored by following two different ...
Investigation of a bidirectional DC/DC converter with zero-voltage switching operation for battery interfaces
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
This paper proposes a bidirectional DC-DC converter with soft-switching capabilities. The main characteristic of this converter is that it can be operated in both boost and buck modes. The major advantages of this converter ...
