A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination

An experimental comparison study between four different designs of solar stills

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2023
In this experimental work, four different solar stills (SSs) have been tested. The SS systems are conventional SS (CSS), Double Slope SS (DSSS), Pyramid SS (PSS) and Tubular SS (TSS).

Influence of Heat Treatment Temperature on Crevice and Pitting Corrosion of UNS S32205 Duplex Stainless Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
Heat treatments that alter the proportions of austenite and ferrite phases or induce the precipitation of phases such as sigma in duplex stainless steel UNS S32205 make it more susceptible to pitting and crevice corrosion. However, the effects of these treatments are not always evident when analyzed using the cyclic polarization technique.

Effect of Postweld Heat Treatment on Laser‐Welded Duplex Stainless Steel: Crystallographic Patterns and Fatigue Behavior

steel research international, EarlyView.
Laser welding of duplex stainless steel disrupts phase balance, promotes nitride precipitation, and reduces fatigue resistance. Postweld heat treatment restores austenite and dissolves nitrides, but the resulting crystallography and phase morphology still impair fatigue performance.

MMSE acquisition of DSSS acoustic communications signals [PDF]

Oceans '04 MTS/IEEE Techno-Ocean '04 (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37600), 2005
A method for acquisition of direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signals based on a minimum mean-square error (MMSE) receiver is presented. An adaptive decision feedback equalizer (DFE), operating at the chip rate, uses the known spreading code as training data. A fixed number of unmodulated code periods is transmitted for acquisition purposes.

CP-DSSS: An OFDM Compatible Variable Rate Modulation for 5G and Beyond

5G World Forum, 2020
Cyclic prefix direct sequence spread spectrum (CP-DSSS) is a recently proposed waveform that has been designed for coexistence with OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) in the same or a pair of parallel networks.

Assessing inconsistencies in the FITradeoff method: a comparison of two preference modeling paradigms

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Many decision‐making processes are susceptible to errors and inconsistencies introduced by decision‐makers (DMs). The development of decision support systems (DSS) has brought about a way to guide DMs through complex decision scenarios. However, due to the complexity of the process, inconsistencies may still arise.
