Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

A Socially Assistive Robot for Outpatient Eating Disorder Waiting‐List Support: A Mixed‐Methods Feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluated Purrble, a socially assistive robot for emotion regulation, as a low‐intensity adjunct during waitlist periods in adult eating disorder services. Method Adults waiting for outpatient eating disorder treatment were randomised to four weeks of Purrble use or waitlist‐as‐usual.

Environmental Thermoeconomic Performance Analysis of Gas Steam Combined Cycle With Different Inlet Air Cooling Technologies

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study establishes an environmental thermoeconomic cost model to investigate the impact of two IAC technologies on the performance of a GSCC from three aspects of energy, economy, and environment. Under arid climate conditions, the SEC technology demonstrates superior performance in terms of cost‐effectiveness and environmental impact.

Selecting Between Hydrogen and Methanol for Fuel Cell‐Organic Rankine Cycle Hybrid Power Systems: A Comparative 4E Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A 4E comparison of PEMFC‐ORC and DMFC‐ORC systems shows that PEMFC‐ORC achieves 21% higher energy efficiency, while DMFC‐ORC obtains 31% higher exergy efficiency and 57% lower levelized cost of electricity. However, DMFC‐ORC emits nearly twice the annual carbon dioxide equivalent of PEMFC‐ORC.

Techno‐Economic Analysis and Multi‐Objective Optimization of a Novel Combined Cooling and Power System Driven by Geothermal Source and Waste Heat From Data Center

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel combined cooling and power generation system is proposed by integrating organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with an absorption heat transformer, which is driven by combining geothermal energy and data center's waste heat. The system using R601a yielded the best overall performance, achieving an exergy efficiency of 40.34% and an annual cost of 130.29 k$
