Synthesis of Modified Phase-Changing Material with Latent Heat and Thermal Conductivity to Store Solar Energy Using a Carbon Nanotube by V. Vedanarayanan, J. Dilli Srinivasan, K. Arulvendhan, P. Thirusenthil Kumaran, R. Selvakumar, H. S. Asif, M. H. Siddique, Jifara Chimdi

“…In terms of micromorphology, the incorporation of hydroxylated carbon nanotubes into microPCMs with a compact shell has little effect on their spherical structure. MicroPCMs’ melting heat and latent heat are both 51.5°C with a 0.2 weight percent dose of hydroxylated carbon nanotubes, and n-energy hexadecanol’s storage efficiency is determined to be 75.25 percent. …”

Exploring benefits of a collaborative Scottish university-organization alternative credentials approach to re-skilling by Christopher J. M. Smith, Constantinos Choromides, Alicia Clyde, Fiona Stewart-Knight

“…However, there is currently almost no evidence on the benefits of such an approach for those involved, so this study focuses on examining the benefits of having a flexible national qualification system (SCQF) that allows ‘credit-rating’ of organizational learning.MethodsAn exploratory research methodology using a single case study design (based on one Scottish university) was used. Nine semi-structured interviews (with both learning providers and university employees) were inductively analyzed using a two-cycle thematic analysis approach to determine themes.ResultsThe SCQF guidance and the business-orientated nature of Scottish universities in credit-rating of learning were highlighted as an important enabler for this alternative form of credentialed learning to being possible. …”

Binary plant rhizome growth-based optimization algorithm: an efficient high-dimensional feature selection approach by Jin Zhang, Fu Yan, Jianqiang Yang

“…This paper introduces an innovative intelligent optimization algorithm, the Plant Root Growth Optimization (PRGO) algorithm, inspired by the structure of plant rhizomes and the way they absorb nutrients.In the algorithm, the plant rhizomes are divided into two categories, the taproot and the fibrous root.the growth process of the taproot plants is associated with the global exploration search, and the growth process of the fibrous root plants relates to the local exploitation search.The global asymptotic convergence of the algorithm is proved by applying Markov’s correlation theory, and simulation results using CEC2014 and CEC2017 test sets show that the proposed algorithm has excellent performance.Moreover, a binary variant of this algorithm (BPRGO) has been specifically crafted in this research to tackle the complexities of high-dimensional feature selection issues. …”
