Predictive modeling and optimization of SI engine performance and emissions with GEM blends using ANN and RSM by Farooq Shaik, D. Vinay Kumar, N. Channa Keshava Naik, G. Radha Krishna, T. M. Yunus Khan, Abdul Saddique Shaik, Abdulrajak Buradi, Addisu Frinjo Emma

“…Furthermore, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was utilized to optimize the engine’s performance, identifying the optimal operating conditions of 2992.9 rpm engine speed and an E20-equivalent GEM blend. Under these conditions, the engine exhibited a brake thermal efficiency (B_The) of 34.63%, a brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of 243.7 g/kW-hr, and minimal emissions of 1.5% CO, 108.13 ppm HC, and 1211.8 ppm NOx, with an overall desirability of 0.820, indicating a highly favorable combination of performance and emissions characteristics.…”

Gender equality in the field of research and innovation: EU versus Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro by Todorović-Lazić Jelena

“…According to some indicators discussed in this Report, the situation is much better in these countries compared to the European average (number of women graduating from doctoral studies, total number of female researchers, number of female researchers employed in the main sectors of the economy). Also, for two important chapters we lack data for these three countries, so we cannot draw more comprehensive conclusions other than that these countries have largely included gender equality in their policies in the field of research and innovation and that in some categories they have even better results in favor of women than is the case in more developed countries of the European Union.…”

Design Considerations for Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES): A Review with Emphasis on Convective Heat Transfer by Helge Skarphagen, David Banks, Bjørn S. Frengstad, Harald Gether

“…The most efficient array shape will typically be a cylinder with similar dimensions of diameter and depth, preferably with an insulated top surface. Despite the potential for moderate thermal recovery, the sheer volume of thermal storage that the natural geological environment offers can still make BTES a very attractive strategy for seasonal thermal energy storage within a “smart” district heat network, especially when coupled with more efficient surficial engineered dynamic thermal energy stores (DTES).…”
