Summary: Polymeric nanofibers have gained importance for controlled release of pesticides, with thiram pesticide incorporated polycaprolactone micro and nanofibers successfully electrospun. The addition of methanol as a co-solvent enabled the electrospinning of polycaprolactone nanofibers containing thiram, showing different release characteristics between microfibers and nanofibers. Thiram was physically held by the polycaprolactone matrix, with thiram unable to reorganize its crystals in the fibrous matrix. The amount of thiram pesticide loaded in micro and nanofibers varied, affecting the release rate.

Summary: In this study, plasmonic MoO3-x colloidal nanosheets with a deep blue color were fabricated using a simple anodic oxidation method and examined for colorimetric sensing of hydrogen peroxide. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide was found to weaken the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and the blue color of the colloids in a sigmoidal sensing behavior. The impact of anodizing potential and time on sensing performance was investigated, and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2-0.9 mu M was achieved. The study also demonstrated the immobilization of MoO3-x nanosheets on felt fibers for colorimetric assay, enabling naked eye detection of hydrogen peroxide in a concentration range of 800 mu m to 100 mM. Overall, this research provides a facile approach to detect hydrogen peroxide at the human-positive diabetes level and has significant implications for the development of hydrogen peroxide sensors.

Summary: This paper investigates an energy-aware flow shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times, group scheduling, and renewable energy constraints. The objective is to minimize the total energy cost based on time-of-use electricity tariffs. Two mixed-integer linear programming models are developed, along with a decomposition-based heuristic algorithm for efficiently solving medium-size instances. Computational experiments show that the heuristic algorithm outperforms the developed models, with the time-interval index model exhibiting superior performance compared to the time-unit index model. Sensitivity analyses and economic performance evaluation are also provided.

Summary: In this paper, the fundamentals of a static 2-user Gaussian multiple-access channel (MAC) with 1-bit analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) at the base station are investigated. By treating the 1-bit MAC as a single-user channel affected by AWGN and unknown interference, it is shown that the capacity-achieving signals of this MAC are discrete with bounded amplitudes. An upper bound on the total sum-rate is established and a simple scheme achieving this upper bound is proposed in the case of equal power allocation between the two users.

Summary: Cu-precipitation in reactor pressure vessel steels is a major concern for the degradation of mechanical properties. This study develops and implements a non-local phase-field model to investigate the equilibrium morphology of precipitates in the over-aged state. The model confirms that the precipitates should have an oblate lath-like shape, which is supported by experimental data. The orientation of the precipitates is consistent with literature. The mechanism of morphology accommodation is explained using the invariant-line method. However, the equilibrium values of elongation significantly deviate from experimental data, likely due to the metastable state of the precipitates during the coarsening process.

The microstructure and dynamic recrystallization mechanisms were analyzed using SEM and EBSD techniques. A strain-compensated Arrhenius constitutive equation and a PSO-BP ANN model based on machine learning were established to analyze the flow behavior. The experimental results showed that the flow stress decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. The PSO-BP ANN model demonstrated good accuracy in predicting flow stress.
