In 2011, Hibbard suggested an intelligence measure for agents who compete in an adversarial sequence prediction game. We argue that Hibbard’s idea should actually be considered as two separate ideas: first, that the intelligence of such agents can be measured based on the growth rates of the runtimes of the competitors that they defeat; and second,...
SiCN:H thin films have large possibilities of applications due to their versatile chemical and physical properties. Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (PACVD) process widely used for SiCN:H deposition. Here we discuss on the potentialities of dual Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) and Radio Frequency Magnetron Sputtering (rf MS) plasmas cou...
This book presents the essentials of thermal energy storage techniques along with recent innovations made and covers in-depth knowledge of thermal energy applications. Different aspects of thermal energy storage systems are covered, ranging from fundamentals to case studies. Major topics covered include the application of thermal energy in Water he...
The generation of a high density of twins few tens nanometers in size can enhance both strength and ductility. The present work aims to produce highly twinned microstructure in Cu-6wt% Zn alloy of a moderate stacking fault energy (SFE) by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) using a die with angles =110° and =0. X ray diffraction (XRD) shows tha...
Experiments are essential to understand the behaviour and performance of energy storage systems. In this field, a considerable amount of experimental data is generated and data processing is a tedious task. To date, research teams working in the field of energy storage tend to focus on developing their own analysis tools rather than using existing ...
Thermochemical CO2-and H2O-splitting cycles for sustainable fuel generation were investigated by using custom-made reticulated ceria foams integrated in a solar-heated cavity reactor. A parametric study revealed the suitable conditions to produce H2/CO with maximum fuel rates and yields per unit mass of redox material. Various operating parameters ...

The current paper aims to provide a critical review of the fire-induced spalling of concrete structures, its socio-economic and environmental impacts, and to establish a roadmap towards designing spalling-sustainable concrete structures utilizing synthetic and natural fibers. Spalling-induced damages of concrete structures during a fire are a serio...
