Growing awareness of environmental concerns and the prioritisation of environmental stewardship necessitates the incorporation of sustainability practices that are both economical and profitable. This involves transforming existing industrial practices from the ‘take-make-waste’ approach to one that aligns with the principles of a circular economy. This includes the use and restoration of bioreserves or the cycling of products i Read More

IntroductionAcoustic parameters can help us understand how temperature and concentration affect the behaviour of potassium ferrocyanide and potassium chromate electrolytes in the aqueous solvent Dimethylformamide.MethodsThe solution's density (ρ), viscosity (η), and ultrasonic speed (u) were measured at various concentrations and temperatures (ranging from 293 K to 313 K) using a pycnometer, an Ostwald viscome Read More

IntroductionThis investigation delves into the optimization of the plywood drying process through the development of predictive models for output moisture content (MC_Out) and waviness. It focuses on bridging the gap in current methodologies by employing artificial neural networks (ANNs), optimized with genetic algorithms, to enhance prediction accuracy and process efficiency.Materials and MethodsA comprehensive exper Read More

IntroductionThe possibility of regulating the curing rate and the complex of adhesive, deformation-strength and dynamic mechanical properties of polymers based on bisphenol A dithioester (thiirane) using a mixture of amine hardeners of various chemical nature is investigated.MethodsDiethylenetriamine, diethylenetriaminomethylphenol and aminopolyamide were investigated as hardeners. The rati Read More

BackgroundMost NN (neural network) research only conducted qualitative analysis, analyzing its accuracy, with certain limitations, without studying its NN model, error convergence process, and pressure ratio. There is relatively limited research on the application of NN optimized by GA (genetic algorithm) to oil and gas pipelines; Moreover, the residual strength evaluation of GA-BP NN (genetic algorithm backpropagation neural n Read More
