Inspired by the seashell nacre and seaweed, a novel GO-Ca-SA nacre-inspired hybrid mesh was prepared via an interfacial layer-by-layer self-assembly and cross-linking, using graphene oxide (GO) and sodium alginate (SA) as the building blocks and calcium chloride as the coordination agent, respectively. Hybrid mesh was characterized by FTIR, XPS, XRD, SEM and contact angel instrument, showing superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic property and low oil adhesion, due to its wrinkle and rough surface, and high hydration ability of GO-Ca-alginate nanohydrogels. The separation efficiencies of various oil-water mixtures were above 99 %, with a highest flux of 119,426 L m h. Hybrid mesh showed an orderly layered "brick and mortar" microstructure with many ultrasmall nanoscaled protuberances. Ca ions could chelate with SA to form the "egg-box" structure, and interact with GO nanosheets. Hybrid mesh possessed high salt/acid/alkaline tolerance, abrasion resistance, mechanical property with Young's modulus of 35.8 ± 4.9 GPa, and excellent cycling stability.

The transient plane source (TPS) method heat transfer model was established. A body-fitted coordinate system is proposed to transform the unstructured grid structure to improve the speed of solving the heat transfer direct problem of the winding probe. A parallel Bayesian optimization algorithm based on a multi-objective hybrid strategy (MHS) is proposed based on an inverse problem.

Attempts to mitigate the computational cost of fully resolved large-eddy simulation (LES) in the near-wall region include both the hybrid Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes/LES (HRL) and wall-modeled LES (WMLES) approaches. This paper presents an LES wall treatment method that combines key attributes of the two, in which the boundary layer mesh is sized in the streamwise and spanwise directions comparable to WMLES, and the wall-normal mesh is comparable to a RANS simulation without wall functions. A mixing length model is used to prescribe an eddy viscosity in the near-wall region, with the mixing length scale limited based on local mesh size.

A hybrid microgrid powered by hydrogen is an energy infrastructure that depends on hydrogen as its primary energy carrier within a localized network. This study proposed a novel bi-level optimization approach to enhance power quality and cost efficiency of the system. In the quest to improve energy management systems (EMS) and enhance power quality, a bi-level optimization approach named Particle swarm optimization-Modified water wave optimization (PSO-MWWO) has been proposed.

Reconstructing the orbit following complex craniofacial fractures presents significant challenges. Throughout the years, several materials have been used for orbital reconstruction, taking into account factors such as their durability, compatibility with living tissue, cost efficiency, safety, and capacity to be adjusted during surgery. Nevertheless, a consensus has not yet been reached on the optimal material for orbital restoration.

Objectives In Canada, it is estimated that 5 to 31% of police interventions involve people with mental health disorders. The objective of this review of the scientific literature is to raise a myriad of issues in the approach to these patients in the community. We then illustrate this context with a Montreal initiative: The ÉCHINOPS Project (Hybrid Community Team for Innovative Interventions NPO-Psychiatry-SPVM).
