The finite element (FE) and statistical energy analysis (SEA) methods have, respectively, high and low frequency limitations and there is therefore a broad class of "mid-frequency" vibro-acoustic problems that are not suited to either FE or SEA. A hybrid method combining FE and SEA was recently presented for predicting the steady-state response of vibro-acoustic systems with uncertain properties. The subsystems with long wavelength behavior are modeled deterministically with FE, while the subsystems with short wavelength behavior are modeled statistically with SEA. The method yields the ensemble average response of the system where the uncertainty is confined in the SEA subsystems. This paper briefly summarizes the theory behind the method and presents a number of detailed numerical and experimental validation examples for structure-borne noise transmission.

Dust emissions from open-pit mining pose a significant threat to environmental safety and human health. Currently, the range of dust suppressants used in coal mining is limited, often failing to account for their suitability across various stockpiles. This oversight results in poor infiltration after application, leading to insufficient crust formation and reduced durability.

High heat fluxes in electronic devices must be effectively dissipated to prevent local hotspots, which are critical for long-term device reliability. In particular, advanced semiconductor packaging trends toward thin form factor products increase the need for understanding and improving in-plane conduction heat spreading in anisotropic materials. The 2D laser-based Ångstrom method, an extension of traditional Ångstrom and lock-in thermography techniques, measures in-plane thermal properties of anisotropic sheet-like materials.

High power pulse generators are moving in the direction of compact, solid-state, and stable working in a relatively long time. In this paper, a compact pulse forming line-Marx type high power pulse generator, based on a ceramic pulse forming line and a spark gap switch with carbide modified graphite electrodes, is studied numerically and experimentally. Specifically, a ceramic based pulse forming line with high relative permittivity was used to achieve long pulse duration in a limited dimension.

Omics data are multidimensional, and oftentimes summarization techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) are used to identify high-level patterns in data. Though useful, these summaries do not allow exploration of detailed patterns in omics data that may have biological relevance.

This work introduces the Adsorption Energy Distribution (AED) calculation using competitive adsorption isotherm data, enabling investigation of the simultaneous AED of two components for the first time. The AED provides crucial insights by visualizing competitive adsorption processes, offering an alternative adsorption isotherm model without prior assuming adsorption heterogeneity, and assisting in model selection for more accurate retention mechanistic modeling. The competitive AED enhances our understanding of multicomponent interactions on stationary phases, which is crucial for understanding how analytes compete on the stationary phase surface and for selecting adsorption models for numerical optimization of preparative chromatography.
