A team in the Department of Sustainable Biomaterials developed a water-based process to create multilayer bioplastic films that are both high-performing and easier to manufacture. The method avoids ...

WHILE some machines can operate in surge for extended periods, others can quickly suffer mechanical problems. And, of course, surge can cause major disruption to the downstream process. While we ...

A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at the ...

Chemists have developed a catalytic process that turns the largest component of today's plastic waste stream, polyolefin plastic bags and bottles, into gases -- propylene and isobutylene -- that are ...

Abstract: Polytropic working conditions are prioritized by most intelligent adaptive methods. But the privacy and the inaccessibility of the source data during the transfer learning process are not ...

The new technique can help break mixed-fiber clothing back down into feedstock for future textiles. Less than 1% of clothing is recycled, and most of the rest ends up dumped in a landfill or burned. A ...

ABSTRACT: This study predicts the characteristics of a compressible polytropic air spring model. A second-order nonlinear autonomous air spring model is presented. The proposed model is based on the ...

The military decision-making process (MDMP) is not a boogey man to be feared, but a process to be embraced and mastered by all staffs charged with developing operations plans and orders. It is a ...

Process mining has evolved from an academic concept (first published in 2001) to a popular software tool for analyzing, monitoring, and improving process performance. As we have described in a ...

Elon Musk calls it “the algorithm,” a distillation of lessons learned while relentlessly increasing production capacity at Tesla’s Nevada and Fremont factories. According to Walter Isaacson in his new ...
