Nowadays, a huge amount of digital data is being exchanged through many network channels. As a result, there is an imminent demand to increase the storage size of data servers used in industrial and technological applications. Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are the main recording devices used in internet and communication applications, and they are deployed in large quantities in data centers to accommodate large-scale digital data. As the storage size of HDDs becomes larger and denser, the need to further improve the head positioning control system in HDDs is required. As such, the precise accuracy of tracking systems in modern HDDs is met with challenges that have to be tackled. This paper proposes an evolutionary-based optimization technique to tune the PID controller of the magnetic head positioning control system in modern HDDs while minimizing the position error signal. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the optimally tuned PID compared to conventional techniques.

This paper introduces the concept of thermal air braking, which involves heating a portion of the airfoil's upper surface to achieve the braking effect. A 2D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is conducted using ANSYS Fluent software to study the impact of heating the upper back portion of the top surface of an airfoil. The study compares the results of the heated and non-heated cases for NACA 4415. Different aerodynamic efficiencies are investigated, such as lift coefficient (C L ), drag coefficient (C D ), lift-to-drag coefficient (C L /C D ), and pressure coefficient (C P ). The results are promising since there is an increase in the drag coefficient by 70% and a decrease in the lift coefficient by 5%, achieved by heating the last portion of the airfoil.
In this study, the experimental performance of a commercial heat pump tumble dryer (HPTD) system integrated with photovoltaic (PV) was evaluated using energy and exergy analysis. Additionally, a sustainability and exe...

With the increasing integration of clean energy sources into existing power networks, it is critical to discover new ways to successfully govern these sources while also incorporating the data center security. Distributed control protocols widely address the energy dispatch of hybrid energy networks (HEN) due to their exceptional adaptability and resilience. However, these algorithms also introduce a danger of cyber-attacks in HENs. To handle this problem, this work presents the consensus-based control protocols for energy dispatch of HENs considering cyber-attacks over a directed graph. The developed method establishes incremental cost consensus across thermal power units under the environment of hybrid attacks and ensures that the data centers achieve optimal power dispatch. Furthermore, we consider the consensus-based distributed protocols in a centerfree manner and offer them as an optimization strategy to address the challenge of minimizing generating costs, while also ensuring resilience against hybrid attacks (like deception and denial-of-service). Finally, the efficacy of the suggested approach is validated by simulation trials.

In recent years, the field of programming Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs) has gained significant attention from researchers due to their substantial potential in various applications, including surveillance, inspection, and critical situations like examining buildings that are burning or collapsing. For this purpose, drones that have several sensors installed would be of good use in constructing a 3D map and localizing most of the objects within a certain area or room, which is also referred to as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). However, installing these sensors would harden the mission of the drone since it would mean more power consumption, more computations, and less navigation flexibility. For this reason, monocular visual SLAM has become the trend, which refers to using a sole camera to build the map and locate the objects in each scene. This approach introduces new challenges, one of the most crucial challenges is estimating the depth (i.e., distances within an image) of each scene from a 2D image. For this task, Deep Learning (DL) models have been considered as a solution for this problem, and with the continuous development in DL and the computational resources that can carry out the expensive training of DL models, it was shown that a 3D map reconstruction is possible utilizing 2D images. This work investigates the performance of a combination of different SLAM and depth estimation models implemented on a commercial drone. The main goal is to carry out a comparison between different methodologies of depth estimation that support monocular 3D SLAM algorithms.

Given the detrimental effects that climate change is having on the ecosystems and general health of our world, we must all work to mitigate or prevent it. Cutting back on carbon emissions is one method we can use to mitigate the effects of climate change. At levels that nature is unable to balance on its own, manufacturing has been a major contributor to the dramatic rise in carbon emissions. In this context, a green capacitated lot-sizing problem in the structure of an industrial symbiosis (GCLS-IS), where two production units (PU1 and PU2) must plan their production over a planning horizon of T periods was considered. PU1 must limit its emissions to a certain government approved CO2 quota in a production period t to satisfy a deterministic time-dependent demand. In this paper, carbon emission is assumed to be proportional to the number of units produced per period and can be expressed as a unitary environmental impact. Two types of carbon emission constraints were studied: periodic carbon emission constraints and cumulative carbon emission constraints. Valuable insights derived from this analysis are subsequently used to discuss the managerial implications of setting up the considered industrial symbiosis in terms of model complexity. The periodic and cumulative cases are proven to be NP-hard. Three models were developed; (i) without carbon emissions (ii) periodic carbon emissions (iii) cumulative carbon emission. Upon solving the models with pyomo, model 3 was found to be better than model 2 since it had a lower cost, lower inventory, lower disposal quantity, and did not exceed the approved carbon emissions. Additionally, perspectives to extend this work are discussed.

Traditional inspection methods for contact lenses primarily involved manual examination, where workers directly assessed the physical properties and manufacturing defects of the lenses. Consequently, the quality determination relied on the workers' judgment, leading to inconsistencies. In order to address this issue, although Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) was introduced, it has limitations in applying to various types of contact lenses. As part of research to utilize deep learning in AOI, this paper introduces a You Only Look Once (YOLO) v9-based contact lens inspection technique that leverages a small dataset of contact lens images. This method involves training YOLO v9 with the limited number of images that include various defects such as bubbles, cracks, and foreign particles, as well as images of defect-free contact lenses.
