Small, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics necessitates sustainable power sources to replace the limited electrochemical battery. While mechanical energy harvesting offers a promising solution, traditional harvesters face challenges of irregular and low−frequency environmental sources. This review presents the

Revolutionising how we think about infrastructure [PDF]
, 2014 We need broad-scale revolutionary, rather than evolutionary, change if all seven billionpeople on the planet now, and those who follow us, are to have the opportunity to live ...

Small, EarlyView.Solid oxide electrochemical reactors (SOERs) offer a compelling pathway for coupling renewable electricity with chemical manufacturing, but their real application is still limited by low efficiency and instability. This review systematically summarizes SOER reaction mechanisms, performance‐limiting factors, and recent progress toward high‐efficiency ...

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT George Herbert Mead is an oft forgotten or ignored American philosopher who was one of the originators of pragmatism. Today, he is recognised as a creative thinker who has teased out knotty problems that others in the field had not realised were problems. Understanding Mead's analysis has been made difficult because he died prematurely without

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Energy communities (ECs) members have a high degree of heterogeneity. Agent‐based modelling (ABM) allows for the modelling of each entity as an agent with distinct characteristics and decision rules. This is particularly useful when the heterogeneity of agents affects outcomes.

Generative AI—the Transgression of Technology
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article offers a systems‐theoretical analysis of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) grounded in Niklas Luhmann's sociology of technology. It addresses a central conceptual problem: How GenAI can be understood within a theoretical framework that has traditionally defined technology as a means of stabilising action through causal ...

RFID Technology in Intelligent Tracking Systems in Construction Waste Logistics Using Optimisation Techniques [PDF]
, 2010 Construction waste disposal is an urgent issue for protecting our environment. This paper proposes a waste management system and illustrates the work process using plasterboard waste as an example, which creates a hazardous gas when land filled with ...

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks
steel research international, EarlyView.Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.
