Unveiling anomalous strengthening and deformation mechanism evolution in a Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy under rate-temperature coupling effects by Jingli Li, Chen Wen, Xiuzhu Han

“…While the deformation behavior of rare-earth magnesium alloys at high temperatures has been extensively studied, the deformation mechanisms under moderate-to-low temperatures and high strain rates remain insufficiently understood. To address this gap, hot compression tests were conducted on a Mg-11Gd-3Y-0.5Zr (wt.%) alloy over a temperature range of 150 °C–450 °C under strain rates of 10⁻³ s⁻¹ (low strain rate (LSR)) and 10 s⁻¹ (high strain rate (HSR)) to explore the strain rate-temperature coupling effects during hot deformation. …”

Comparative evaluation of encoding techniques for workflow process remaining time prediction for cloud applications by Cong Liu, Wenjuan Liu, Na Guo, Rongjia Song, Yan Gu, Long Cheng, Qingtian Zeng

“…However, there remains a lack of comprehensive empirical evaluation to analyze the impact of various event encoding techniques on prediction accuracy. To fill this gap, this paper conducts an extensive experimental evaluation of five state-of-the-art event encoding techniques, including One-Hot, Skip-Gram, CBOW (Continuous Bag-of-Word), FastText and GloVe, across nine prediction models based on LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit), and QRNN (Quasi-Recurrent Neural Network). …”

Assessing wastewater heat resources in Zambian food and beverage processing: Case studies, regional assessment, and implications by Eleanor Mancusi-Ungaro, Madhu K. Murali, Paul Coughlan, Godfrey Hampwaye, Derrick Bwalya Tembo, Aonghus McNabola

“…Wastewater heat recovery (WWHR) aims to recycle low-grade thermal resources embedded in wastewater discharges and lower the energy requirements for hot-water production in various settings. WWHR has received growing attention in recent years, however, limited attention has been given to potential WWHR resources or the technologies required to exploit these in hot-water-intensive industrial settings, such as food and beverage processing. …”

Numerical Study of the Thermal Energy Storage Container Shape Impact on the NePCM Melting Process by Obai Younis, Naef A. A. Qasem, Aissa Abderrahmane, Abdeldjalil Belazreg

“…In this article, we examined the influence of the inner and outer tube shapes of a shell and tube LHTES on the thermal activity within the system. The gap between the inner and outer tube is loaded with nano-enhanced phase change material (NePCM); hot fluid is passed through the inner tube while the outer tube is insulated. …”

Influence of Cold-Rolling Processes on the Dimensional Accuracy and Roughness of Small-Diameter Thick-Walled Seamless Tubes by Xiuping Ding, Ran Li, Pengfei Jin, Weijie Wang, Cheng Zhang, Minyu Ma, Jinfeng Huang

“…Cold pilgering is widely utilized in high-end applications for the precise shaping of seamless tubes due to its capacity for large deformation, which reduces the number of deformation processes and shortens production cycles. However, there is a gap in the research on the cold pilgering of small-diameter, thick-walled seamless tubes, specifically those with an outer diameter–wall thickness ratio of ≤3. …”
