Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

Validation of SAM Modeling of Concentrated Solar Power Plants

Energies, 2020
The paper proposes the validation of the latest System Advisor Model (SAM) vs. the experimental data for concentrated solar power energy facilities. Both parabolic trough, and solar tower, are considered, with and without thermal energy storage.

Indoor thermal loss test on small-size solar receiver (UF-RT01) for process heat application

Solar Energy Advances, 2021
The parabolic trough collector is one of the most promising technologies for medium temperature application. The energy of solar radiation is directed by parabolic mirrors into cylindrical receivers and transmitted to a heat transfer fluid.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Ignition and Horizontal Flame Spread for Recycled Plastic Pellets

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 499-510, August/September 2026.
ABSTRACT Fires in recycling facilities are known for producing noxious fumes, having high heat release rates (HRRs), being difficult to extinguish and causing significant devastation to business operations. This research aims to provide experimental data and numerical models from which performance‐based designs can be developed for recycling facilities.

Effect of the Orientation Schemes of the Energy Collection Element on the Optical Performance of a Parabolic Trough Concentrating Collector

Energies, 2018
While the circular shape is currently the proven optimum design of the energy collection element (ECE) of a parabolic trough collector, that is yet to be confirmed for parabolic trough concentrating collectors (PTCCs) like trough concentrating ...

Nonimaging High Concentrating Photovoltaic System Using Trough

Energies, 2023
Solar energy is a long-established technology, which has zero CO2 emissions, and provides low-cost energy for a given area of land. The concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) has been given preference over the photovoltaic due to its high efficiency.

Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling During Spaceflight for Analysis of Acetaminophen Pharmacokinetics in Whole Blood

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 66, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Spaceflight induces altered physiology that has the potential to alter medication pharmacokinetics due to factors including gastrointestinal motility, fluid balance, circulatory dynamics, hormonal changes, and metabolic alterations. Here, we report the first pharmacokinetic analysis using blood samples during spaceflight.
