2. Optimum design of steel columns filled with concrete via genetic algorithm: environmental impact and cost analysis
Abstract The use of concrete-filled tubular columns as part of structural systems has steadily increased throughout the years. The growing demand for structural elements of this nature is a direct result of the possibility to use various cross-section shapes that have increased strength, along with resistance to fire and other corrosive agents. The main obje

3. Quality Control for Lignin and Gelatin Microcapsules Loaded with Orange Essential Oil
Sustainable natural product-based microstructured systems and biopolymers are strong candidates for use in crop protection. Lignin and gelatin microcapsules loaded with orange essential oil were developed with spray-drying in order to enhance its potential. We evaluated the microparticle controlled release mechanisms, biological effects, structural and therm

4. Cascade Modeling of the Measuring System Used to Assess S-Parameters of Anchor Rods on Power Transmission Lines Guyed Towers
Abstract The structural condition of the cable-stayed towers anchorage on power transmission lines requires constant monitoring. Maintenance routines must be able to identify faulty anchor rods and substitute them to avoid tower collapses and power delivery interruptions. Modern statistical diagnostic systems based on machine learning requires the generation

5. A 2.4 GHz Coplanar Solar Cell Patch Antenna with a Semi-Analytical Evaluation of Temperature Effects
Abstract Solar cells integrated with antennas have aroused scientific interest as an attractive energy source alternative in low power devices for IoT and Wireless Sensor Network applications. Since the space for all components in the systems is scarce, different integration ideas have been proposed in this field. However, further analysis of the performance

7. The Influence of the Platinum Weight Percentage in the Catalyst Formulation on the Performance of a High Temperature Ethanol Electroreformer Based on H3PO4 Doped Polybenzimidazole for Green Hydrogen Production
A vapor-fed high temperature proton exchange ethanol electroreformer has been developed based on the use of a H3PO4-doped polybenzimidazole membrane to produce green hydrogen. As a key parameter, this article describes the influence of platinum weight percent (wt.%) in the catalyst formulation from different commercial catalysts (20, 40, 60, 80 wt.% Pt/C and

8. Structural Study of Wheat Gliadin in Different Solvents by Spectroscopic Techniques
Physicochemical properties of gliadin in different solvents (dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), H2O, and aqueous ethanol) and pH (9.8, 6.8, and 1.2) were investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential (ZP), and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Gliadin-DMSO and gliadin-deionized water (H2O) (pH 9.8) s

10. Nasal Mucociliary Clearance in Smokers: A Systematic Review
Abstract Introduction Smoking is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity in the world, as it is related to the risk factor and etiology of respiratory-tract diseases. Long-term smoking causes both structural and functional damage in the respiratory airways, leading to changes in nasal mucociliary clearance (NMC). Objectives The aim of t
