such large power consumption, they are prime targets for energy-efficient design measures that can save money and reduce electricity use. However, the critical nature of data center loads elevates many design criteria—chiefly reliability and high-power density capacity —far above energy efficiency.
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) have the capability to execute a wide range of tasks with minimal human intervention. However, one of the major limitations of AMRs is their limited battery life, which often results in interruptions to their task execution and the need to reach the nearest charging station. Optimizing energy consumption in AMRs has become a …
More recently, Arens and Worrell aimed to study the diffusion of key energy efficient technologies in the German steel industry between 1958 and 2012 and their impact on energy intensity, reporting that key improvements in energy efficiency were due to electric arc furnaces (24%), basic oxygen furnaces (12%), and continuous casting (6%); the ...

The cast iron production process, briefly described by the Authors in Ref. [6], consumes energy; this paper considers the energy performances and proposals for energy savings in cast iron foundries concerning the production process. Energy efficiency in service plants (i.e. compressed air, lighting, heating and cooling of buildings, etc.) will ...
In this paper, the connection type described in Fig. 7 is utilized, and one bay is expanded to a linear-shaped bearing-wall apartment building with walls and pre-cast composite structural systems. The energy efficiency of the two construction methods is compared in terms of the reduction of material quantities.

Auto-Cast. Energy Savings in Action: Auto-Cast swapped the open air tubing, used in the drying process, to precision . compressed air nozzles. This change drastically reduced the amount of energy the machines used, reduced the machine downtime for cleaning and maintenance and saved the company a noticeable amount of money every year. T. he Best ...
intersection of energy efficiency and occupant health at U.S. healthcare facilities, including federally owned buildings. This report includes a review of minimum code requirements for healthcare indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and research on building measures that optimize occupant health and energy efficiency.

In 2010 Schneider Electric released energy efficient transformers based on the Department of Energy (DOE) 10 CFR Part 431 Energy Conservation program for Commercial Equipment. On April 18, 2013 the United States Department of Energy (DOE) issued its final ruling on transformer efficiency for liquid-filled and dry-type distribution transformers.
The Transformer architecture has shown to be a powerful tool for a wide range of tasks. It is based on the self-attention mechanism, which is an inherently computationally expensive operation with quadratic computational complexity: memory usage and compute time increase quadratically with the length of the input sequences, thus limiting the application of …

Herein, three nonfullerene acceptors (L4, L5, and L6) are designed and synthesized. Among them, the introduction of thiophene alkoxy units by asymmetric synthesis can endow the acceptor L5 with a slightly twisted molecular conformation in solution but a planar one in the solid state. Such properties facilitate the solution processing of L5 while maintaining a …
The last few decades have witnessed an explosive growth of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems, which provide ubiquitous sensing and computing services.

Energy efficiency is one of the most important research topics …
The open radio access network (ORAN) aims to improve network efficiency by reducing latency through the distributed unit (DU) and virtualization in the central unit (CU). However, the deployment of additional DU servers increases power usage and competition among virtual machines for user data processing. This study proposes a novel approach to address these …
The energy conversion efficiency of solar cells with T = 17 and d 26 nm is comparable to that of d T = 22 nm. The obtained energy conversion efficiency for the solar cell with 8- nm MoS 2 thick layer is the highest obtained so far for HSC based on TiO 2, MoS 2 and P3HT (see Table 3). However, as can be observed, HSC based on the TiO 2 /MoS 2
