This research investigated the real-world operational performance of five purposely designed and built net-zero-energy houses in Melbourne, Australia.The embodied Equipment energy and carbon emissions of these houses were calculated based on their architectural and engineering drawings, as well as the relevant databases of embodied energy and emiss
Compound Speckle Reduction in Laser Imaging Systems by Using a Vibrating Multimode Fiber and a Tracked Moving Flexible DOE Loop
The speckle phenomenon produced by coherent waves interfering with each other is undesirable in laser imaging systems.For each of the laser speckle reduction methods in the literature, it is difficult to reduce speckle to an extremely low level (< 3%) and also ensure good image quality.Therefore, a compound speckle reduction method ba
A hybrid algorithm of grey wolf optimizer and harris hawks optimization for solving global optimization problems with improved convergence performance
Abstract The grey wolf optimizer is an effective and well-known meta-heuristic algorithm, but it also has the weaknesses of insufficient population diversity, falling into local optimal solutions easily, and unsatisfactory convergence speed.Therefore, we propose a hybrid grey wolf optimizer (HGWO), based mainly on the exploitation phase of the harr
Population-based screening of newborns: Findings from the newborn screening expansion study (part two)
Rapid advances in genomic technologies to screen, diagnose, and treat newborns SHAMPOO AND SCALP MASSAGE BRUSHES will significantly increase the number of conditions in newborn screening (NBS).We previously identified four factors that delay and/or complicate NBS expansion: 1) variability in screening panels persists; 2) the short duration of pilot
