AIChE Journal, Volume 69, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Recent global events and the rise of sustainable investing have made clear that the chemical and energy industry must consider sustainability goals beyond profit maximization to remain competitive. Multiobjective optimization provides an ideal framework for analyzing sustainability tradeoffs, but when four or more objectives are considered ...

Digital Twins and Civil Engineering Phases: Reorienting Adoption Strategies [PDF]
ASME. J. Comput. Inf. Sci. Eng. October 2024; 24(10): 100801Digital twin (DT) technology has received immense attention over the years due to the promises it presents to various stakeholders in science and engineering. As a result, different thematic areas of DT have been explored. This is no different in specific fields such as manufacturing, automation, oil and gas, and civil engineering, leading to ...

Temperature‐Induced Effects on Wet‐Spun Artificial Spider Silk Fibers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Silk‐based materials are valued for their strength and flexibility, but temperature effects on their mechanical properties are understudied. This study examines the properties of artificial silk fibers from −80 to +120 °C. Results show maintained strength at high temperatures and increased strength at low temperatures. Abstract Silk‐based materials are

AIChE Journal, Volume 69, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Nitrates from agricultural wastewater are harmful to human health and result in eutrophication. Several emerging electrochemical technologies have been developed independently to enable efficient recovery and recycling of nitrate waste; however, it remains unclear whether the implementation of such combined technologies can be economically ...

Active Learning for Imbalanced Civil Infrastructure Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Aging civil infrastructures are closely monitored by engineers for damage and critical defects. As the manual inspection of such large structures is costly and time-consuming, we are working towards fully automating the visual inspections to support the prioritization of maintenance activities. To that end we combine recent advances in drone technology

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Starting from an experimental database, a physically‐based machine learning approach is used to gain new insights into spider silk supercontraction. These insights inspire a microstructure‐based analytical model that quantitatively predicts supercontraction based on protein primary structure properties. New experiments to further elucidate the physical

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A novel low‐bandgap random terpolymer is designed for narrow band detection in charge collection narrowing (CCN) based organic photodetectors. With a relative thin active layer (<1 µm), the CCN‐based devices achieved a narrowband response of 68 nm full‐width‐at‐half‐maximum at 916 nm, together with Responsivity values of 0.13 A W−1 and dark current of ...
