Streamlining extracellular polymeric substance removal: Fuzzy multi-objective optimization of ultrasonic-Fenton treatment

Resources, Environment and Sustainability
Managing high water content sludge in wastewater treatment is crucial for sustainability. This involves a complex challenge of maximizing the removal of loosely bound extracellular polymeric substances (LB-EPS) while minimizing ultrasonic-Fenton process ...

Internet use and adolescent development: A conceptual model integrating behavioral and contextual theories

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the digital era, adolescent development is deeply embedded in the cyber environment. Despite ongoing debate on the benefits and/or risks that Internet use brings to adolescents in empirical studies, conceptual and theoretical discussion on the influences of the intensity and modalities of Internet use is peripheral.

Innovative PLA or PCL‐Based Ocular Implants Obtained From Tape Casting or Electrospinning for Sustained‐Release Dexamethasone

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
PLA and PCL ocular implants prepared by tape casting and electrospinning provide sustained dexamethasone release with distinct release profiles governed by polymer type and processing method. The relationship between polymer structure, degradation behavior, and drug release demonstrates the potential of these fabrication techniques for controlled ...

Development of interactive MRI‐based 3D visualization tools for neuroanatomy education in Latin America

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of neuroanatomy is fundamental in many scientific fields. Despite this, it is a challenging subject for students. As technology evolves, it is being increasingly incorporated into educational methods, including the teaching of neuroanatomy. Three‐dimensional (3D) visualizations are well suited for displaying neuroanatomy.

Modeling and parameter estimation for fractional large‐scale interconnected Hammerstein systems

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper addresses the challenge of modeling and identifying large‐scale interconnected systems exhibiting memory effects, hereditary properties, and non‐local interactions. We propose a fractional‐order extension of the Hammerstein architecture that incorporates Grünwald–Letnikov operators to capture complex dynamics through multiple ...

Gain-Scheduling Offline MPC for Air Path qLPV System Control in Spark Ignition Engine Using Electric Supercharger

IEEE Access
Electric superchargers eliminate turbo lag in spark ignition (SI) engines by providing instantaneous boost pressure response independent of exhaust gas energy. However, coordinating the throttle valve and eBoost motor to track driver torque demands poses

Synchronization‐Performance‐Oriented Frequency‐Domain Iterative Learning Control for Wafer and Reticle Stages

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The synchronization accuracy between the wafer stage and reticle stage in lithography is critical to overlay and critical dimension uniformity. Existing iterative learning control (ILC) methods indirectly optimize synchronization via time‐domain errors, failing to balance low‐frequency tracking accuracy and high‐frequency noise suppression ...

Migrant success in UK Education: Are there lessons for government social mobility policy?

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The school achievement and career aspirations of 23 sixth form students at a multi‐cultural urban academy in the UK are explored through interviews. The sample includes 16 s‐generation migrants, 6 UK‐born students with migrant parents and 1 UK‐born student, selected to represent a cohort of over 300 post‐16 learners.
