The present research addresses the complicated challenges of modelling and enhancing processes in mixed-use harbors, focusing on Volos, where the convergence of many activities necessitates customized solutions for effective administration. This research initiates a case-specific investigation in response to the changing marine industry landscape, which is represented by the integration of shipping, recreation, and tourism inside the harbor of Volos. Real-world data from the Volos harbor was gathered using a hybrid methodology that blends mathematical modeling and simulation methodologies to inform the dynamic models. Volos is a microcosm that captures the challenges in establishing a balance between tourist,, commercial ships, and recreational boating. The modeling strategy provides a comprehensive representation of processes by taking interactions and possible conflicts into consideration. It is based on well-established harbor models that have been modified for mixed-use areas. In addition, cutting-edge optimization methods were used, considering environmental impact, traffic control, and resource use. Findings, which were obtained in the particular setting of the Volos harbor, show significant gains in resource allocation and operational efficiency, offering important new information for harbor management.

Compressible polymeric foams exhibit a highly non-linear mechanical behaviour. Classical constitutive models have a fixed mathematical expression. Degree of porosity and the cellular structure of the foam affects the mechanical response significantly. In this regard, phenomenological constitutive models may not be successful in modeling a variety of compressible polymeric foams. data-driven constitutive modeling is a promising approach to solve this problem, here we propose an extended version of B-spline based data-driven framework (Dal, Denli, Acan, & Kaliske 2023) for compressible materials. The model adapts its control point values to reduce the error between data and prediction until a threshold is reached, and is thermodynamically consistent through the use of optimization constraints. The proposed model has been validated with closed-cell EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) with three distinct foam densities. The uniaxial tension and the confined compression experiments were conducted to identify the mechanical behavior of the materials. A non-homogeneous uniaxial compression experiment was performed to validate the control points obtained through the simultaneous fitting of uniaxial tension and confined compression. Finite element analysis was conducted under conditions precisely replicated from the non-homogeneous uniaxial compression experiment. Furthermore, a comparison is performed between the classical constitutive models (Blatz & Ko 1962, Hill 1979) and the proposed data-driven approach. The results show that the data-driven approach is very promising to model the mechanical behavior of compressible polymeric materials.

This study presents data on the water quality of the Guarani Aquifer based on samples collected from distinct groundwater wells in the western region of Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Among the analyses performed, the results indicated the need for treatment to ensure suitability for human consumption, particularly concerning Fe3+ and Mn2+ ions. Accordingly, natural (NCLIN) and activated clinoptilolite (ACLIN) zeolites were evaluated for ion removal from synthetic aqueous solutions through adsorption. NCLIN demonstrated excellent performance in adsorbing Fe3+ and Mn2+ ions, achieving removal efficiencies of over 98% and 95%, respectively, at a controlled pH of 6.0 (NCLIN) or 4.0 (ACLIN). A non-linear approach to modeling adsorption kinetics indicated that the pseudo-second-order model best represented the experimental data. This finding suggests that the interaction between the adsorbent and Fe3+ and Mn2+ ions occur through electron sharing and chemisorption. Equilibrium modelinganalysis revealed that adsorption on NCLIN occurred in a monolayer, whereas adsorption on ACLIN followed a multilayer pattern. This behavior is attributed to the activation process with H2SO4, which led to dealumination and the formation of HSO3- groups on the adsorbent surface.

Electrical steels, also known as silicon steels, are essential materials in electrical applications due to their unique magnetic properties, which are enhanced by adding up to 3.5 wt pct Si. However, alloying with ferrosilicon FeSi75, a mixture of 25 wt pct Fe and 75 wt pct Si, during ladle refining faces steelmakers with metallurgical challenges, primarily due to the strong exothermic reaction during its dissolution in liquid steel. Here, solution thermodynamics of the Fe-Si system offer insights into the heat evolution and, therefore, superheating control for continuous casting. This study experimentally reassesses the binary Fe-Si system using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and High-Temperature Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (HT-LSCM) to investigate phase equilibria between 0.50 and 12.50 wt pct Si and from 600 degrees C to 1550 degrees C. Thermodynamic modeling of the Fe-Si system was carried out in the CALPHAD framework, applying the Modified Quasichemical Model (MQM) for the liquid phase to consider the strong interactions between Fe and Si. In this way, the description of the liquid's mixing enthalpy and the activities of Fe and Si agree well with literature values. Deviations in liquidus and solidus temperatures, as measured by DSC, were reduced to within +/- 5 degrees C. Additionally, the solubility limits of Fe and Si in intermediate silicides were refined based on the most recently published measurements. A comprehensive statistical analysis of industrial ladle refining processes involving 172 t ladles revealed a heat increase of 4.73 degrees C per t of FeSi75, consistent with adiabatic thermodynamic calculations (5 degrees C per t FeSi75). These findings improve the precision of thermodynamic databases and provide valuable insights for optimizing heat management and processcontrol in producing silicon steels.

Population aging is an inevitable trend in contemporary society, and the application of technologies such as human-machine interaction, assistive healthcare, and robotics in daily service sectors continues to increase. The lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot has great potential in areas such as enhancing human physical functions, rehabilitation training, and assisting the elderly and disabled. This paper integrates the structural characteristics of the human lower limb, motion mechanics, and gait features to design a biomimetic exoskeleton structure and proposes a human-machine integrated lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot. Human gait data are collected using the Optitrack optical 3D motion capture system. SolidWorks 3D modeling software Version 2021 is used to create a virtual prototype of the exoskeleton, and kinematic analysis is performed using the standard Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) parameter method. Kinematic simulations are carried out using the Matlab Robotic Toolbox Version R2018a with the derived D-H parameters. A physical prototype was fabricated and tested to verify the validity of the structural design and gait parameters. A controller based on BP fuzzy neural network PID control is designed to ensure the stability of human walking. By comparing two sets of simulation results, it is shown that the BP fuzzy neural network PID control outperforms the other two control methods in terms of overshoot and settling time. The specific conclusions are as follows: after multiple walking gait tests, the robot's walking process proved to be relatively safe and stable;when using BP fuzzy neural network PID control, there is no significant oscillation, with an overshoot of 5.5% and a settling time of 0.49 s, but the speed was slow, with a walking speed of approximately 0.18 m/s, a stride length of about 32 cm, and a gait cycle duration of approximately 1.8 s. The model proposed in this paper can effectively assist patients in recovering their ability t

Reliable spatial-temporal simulation and forecast of flood are crucial for accurate flood control. Profile soil moisture (PSM) is a key intermediate variable in rainfall-runoff transformation, its spatial heterogeneity affects the spatial-temporal processes of floods. However, soil moisture data in the current flood modeling researches are only the intermediately simulated values that lack spatial validation, how spatial heterogeneity in soil moisture affects high-resolution flood processes is still unclear. In contrast, soil moisture data derived from satellites are spatial observed values that can better represent real spatial distribution. This study is first to incorporate satellite-based data and hydrological modeled data to identify the effects of different spatial patterns of profile soil moisture on spatial-temporal processes of floods at 1 km x 1 km resolution. The distributed hydrological model (DDRM) and the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) products are chosen to provide different PSM spatial patterns, under which, the DDRM is used to investigate corresponding spatial-temporal processes of floods. Four modeling scenarios (two DDRM-only scenarios and two assimilation scenarios) in two humid and one semi-arid catchments are set to see the different effects, and the spatial-temporal statistical analysis and the semi-variogram method are used to identify the spatial heterogeneity. Results indicate that both PSM and runoff show strong spatial heterogeneity with the values of C/(C0 + C) in the semi-variogram method higher than 0.8;for different periods, the decrease of spatial heterogeneity in PSM corresponds to the decrease of spatial heterogeneity in runoff;for different scenarios, soil moisture storage capacity (SMC) affects spatial heterogeneity of runoff more in the semi-arid catchment, and the change of sensitive parameters of spatial soil moisture is the main driver to change the spatial heterogeneity of runoff.
