Conceptual fit: A criterion for COTS selection [PDF]

, 2014
COTS systems selection consists in evaluating the user requirements with respect to characteristics of candidate systems, using a set of criteria. One criterion that has received little attention is what we call conceptual fit. The criterion assesses the

Feasibility Study and Optimal Placement of Solar Power Plants Using Binary Genetic Algorithm

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study introduces an integrated optimization framework using a binary genetic algorithm (BGA) for optimal siting and sizing of two solar plants (865 and 739 kWp) in Karaj, Iran. The BGA outperformed conventional methods, achieving a 24.3% reduction in power losses and enhanced voltage stability.

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Influence of Adhesive Type on Heat Induced Delamination in Tension Loaded Shear Lap Cross‐Laminated Timber Samples Exposed to Radiant Heat Flux

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat induced delamination (HID) is a phenomenon in engineered wood products which may result in the detachment of the bonded timber lamellae before charring propagates to the bond line interphase. This study aims to correlate the thermal degradation of two 1‐c‐polyurethane adhesives at the microscale to the thermo‐hydro‐mechanical behaviour of

A Touch of Evil: High-Assurance Cryptographic Hardware from Untrusted Components [PDF]

, 2017
The semiconductor industry is fully globalized and integrated circuits (ICs) are commonly defined, designed and fabricated in different premises across the world. This reduces production costs, but also exposes ICs to supply chain attacks, where insiders

Multifunctional ionic liquid boosts the efficiency of hole transport layer‐free carbon‐based perovskite solar cells beyond 20%

FlexMat, EarlyView.
HTL‐free carbon‐based PSCs are promising in stability but limited by efficiency. Systematic screening identifies DMAFo as an optimized ionic‐liquid additive: the DMA+ regulates lattice distortion and relieves residual stress, while Fo‒ passivates halide vacancies, and ameliorates band‐alignment.
