A robust experimental-based artificial neural network approach for photovoltaic maximum power point identification considering electrical, thermal and meteorological impact by Gowid, Samer

“…Nonetheless, the consideration of irradiance, electrical, thermal, and weather parameters (scenario IV) yielded higher identification accuracy. The results showed a decrease in the MSE of Vmp by 74.3% (from 1.6 V to 0.411 V), and in the MSE of Imp by 95% (from 4.4e−6 A to 2.16e−7 A), respectively. …”

Tailoring the defects of sub-100 nm multipodal titanium nitride/oxynitride nanotubes for efficient water splitting performance by Eid, Kamel

“…XPS, XPS imaging, Auger electron spectra, and positron annihilation spectroscopy disclosed that the high nitridation rate induced the generation of a mixture of Ti-nitride and oxynitride with various vacancy-type defects, including monovacancies, vacancy clusters, and a few voids inside TiOxNTs. These defects decreased the bandgap energy to 2.4 eV, increased visible-light response, and enhanced the incident photon-to-current collection efficiency (IPCE) and the photocurrent density of TiONxNTs by nearly 8 times compared with TiO2NTs, besides a quick carrier diffusion at the nanotube/electrolyte interface. …”

Opportunities, challenges and trade-offs with decreasing avoidable food waste in the UK by Patel, Shivalee

“…Stakeholder interrelations, regulatory and socio-economic aspects are discussed in relation to their influence on decreasing avoidable food waste. The main output from this work is a diagrammatic depiction of where challenges and trade-offs occur along the food supply chain, and how policy and socio-economic reforms are needed to maximise avoidable food waste prevention, and the surplus avoidable food redistribution in the food supply chain for social benefit.…”
