Battery-Induced Load Hiding and Its Utility Consequences by Aly, Hussein

“…In the context of user profiling, our experiment demonstrated that identifying and removing battery users from the analytical dataset using unsupervised detection methods can effectively lessen the impact of battery users. For anomaly detection, our experiment revealed that creating separate classification models for battery and non-battery users can significantly reduce the adverse influence of battery users on the detection performance.…”

Improvement in properties of Ni-B coatings by the addition of mixed oxide nanoparticles by Bahgat Radwan, A.

“…The improvement in mechanical properties can be attributed to grain refinement of Ni-B matrix and dispersion hardening effect of insoluble hard ceramic nanoparticles. Similarly, corrosion inhibition efficiency of binary Ni-B coatings is considerably improved which can be presumably regarded as the effect of formation of dense structure and decrease in active area of Ni-B matrix due to incorporation of mixed inactive nanoparticles. …”

Mixed Solid Municipal Waste-Based Biochar for Soil Fertility and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation by Bansode, Rishipal

“…Greenhouse gases emission differential between the biochars and their corresponding raw feedstocks in treated soil was used as indicator of GHGs emission by biochars during the incubation period Biochars prepared from blends produced at 700°C pyrolysis temperatures and used at 2% application rate to soil showed higher pH (6.8), increased water retention, and high K and NO3-N content. The net effect of these changes in soil properties positively impacted both seed germination and biomass yield of the plants (up to two folds in soil amended with biochars). …”
