Abstract:
... Industry 4.0 is transforming the manufacturing industry and the economics of value creation. A great deal of positive hype has built up around the sustainable development implications of Industry 4.0 technologies during the past few years. Expectations regarding the opportunities that Industry 4.0 offers for sustainable manufacturing are significantly high, but the lack of accurate understanding o ...

Abstract:
... The manufacturing industry makes the greatest contribution to China's carbon emissions, so reducing emissions among its high-emission subsectors is important to achieve China's overall reduction goals. Innovation is crucial to the green transformation and development of high-emission subsectors. Previous studies have hardly considered the effect of innovation factors on carbon emissions and decoup ...

Abstract:
... Compound eyes are ubiquitous natural biosensors that possess high temporal resolution and large fields of view (FOVs). While for solid materials based artificial imaging systems, flexible zooming ability while keeping the constant FOV is still challenging, as well as the low-cost fabrication. Herein, liquid compound eyes with natural structures are presented that synthesize optofluidics and bionic ...

Abstract:
... The co-design optimization that simultaneously couples embodiment design and control design is widely applied in fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles. However, due to imperfect manufacture process, modeling simplification and uncertain parameters during vehicle operation, the optimal results obtained from a deterministic co-design optimization might not be robust to variations of parameters and opti ...

Abstract:
... The fiber damage during manufacture, use, and service of textiles leads to fragmented fiber generation. All textiles (natural, regenerated, and synthetic polymer sources) release fiber fragments. Several textile structural parameters have been studied in association with fragmented fiber release; however, there is a paucity of work on the effect of different fiber types and yarn structures on frag ...

Abstract:
... Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is becoming the largest free trade agreement with nearly half of world's CO₂ emissions. As its members are also important participants in global value chains (GVCs), studying the impact of GVCs participation on CO₂ emissions in RCEP countries is of great significance. This study first calculates country level and industry level GVCs participation ...

Abstract:
... Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a problematic group of chemicals used in various industrial and household products. They have been extensively detected in wastewater as a result of day-to-day product usage. Due to concerns about their safety, voluntary and regulatory action to limit the manufacture and use of some individual PFAS has occurred since the year 2000. The impact that th ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the propagation process of acoustic waves in the soil is very important for designing high-performance acoustic wave detection devices. In this study, the discrete element method was used to simulate the propagation process of acoustic waves in the soil. A single factor experiment was carried out with soil compression ratio, excitation frequency, and excitation amplitude as factors. ...

Abstract:
... A shrouded oscillating-foil turbine is proposed to augment the energy extraction performance. The oscillating foil undergoes combined plunging and pitching motion to convert the flow energy. A diffuser is introduced into the oscillating-foil-based turbine as the shroud. The speed-up and energy extraction performance of the turbine were assessed numerically. The effects of three cost-independent ge ...

... Since its introduction in 1986, 3D printing technology is in constant development. 3D printers are becoming more and more performant and accessible. In 2013, the Liberator blueprints are released online. This single-shot pistol can be entirely manufactured using a 3D printer, except for the firing pin and the ammunition. First, this research aims at establishing an overview of all the elements and ...

Abstract:
... MXenes, a new class of two-dimensional advanced functional nanomaterials, have been widely researched in the past decade for applications in diverse fields including clean energy and fuels production. The unique layered structures of MXenes simultaneously enhance electrolyte ion transport and provide transition metal active redox sites on the surface. These features make MXenes particularly promis ...

... The transient transfection of mammalian cells is a rapid and versatile platform for the manufacture of recombinant proteins, but industrial processes depend on reliable scalability and efficient conversion from adherent to suspension cell cultures. Here we describe the optimized transfection of HEK 293T cells in both culture formats. DMEM was the best transfection medium for adherent HEK 293T cell ...

... The massive wastewater from surimi manufacture and salt addition is controversial. In our previous study, a chicken-surimi (CS) product can be successfully developed from the spent-hen breast via 3 times of washing steps and 2.5% salt addition in the recipe. Due to the characteristics of broiler breast (higher protein contents in muscle), this study was to optimize the washing step for CS batter r ...
