TL;DR: In this paper, the first attempt to use metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as host matrices of salts for the preparation of composite sorbents for seasonal heat storage is presented.
Abstract: Porous materials are recognized as very promising materials for water-sorption-based energy storage and transformation This study presents the first attempt to use Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as host matrices of salts for the preparation of composite sorbents for seasonal heat storage We have considered six water stable MOFs (ie MIL-127(Fe), MIL-100(Fe), MIL-101(Cr), UiO-66(Zr)–NH2, MIL-125(Ti)–NH2 and MIL-160(Al)) differing in their crystalline structure, hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance, pore size/shape and pore volume The successful encapsulation of CaCl2 in the pores of MOFs leads to two series of MOFs–CaCl2 composites whose salt content could be finely tuned depending on the pore volume of MOFs and the synthesis conditions These materials were fully characterized by combining multiple techniques (ie powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray energy-dispersive spectrometry elemental mapping, N2 sorption and elemental analysis) The water sorption properties of these composites were studied under conditions of a solar heat storage system (ie adsorption at 30 °C, desorption at 80 °C, both steps at a water vapour pressure of 125 mbar) in comparison to the parent MOFs We analyze how the physico-chemical and structural properties of these host matrices impact the energy density of composite sorbents We show that two mesoporous MOFs–CaCl2 composites (ie MIL-100(Fe)/CaCl2 and MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl2) with the highest salt loading (46 and 62 wt% respectively) exhibit very high energy storage capacities (up to 310 kW h m−3 (485 W h kg−1)) outperforming the best composites or physical sorbents reported so far together with very little loss upon adsorption–desorption cycling and high chemical stability upon ageing (up to 18 months)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed searches for resonant and nonresonant pair-produced Higgs bosons (HH) decaying respectively into l nu l nu, through either W or Z bosons, and b (b) over bar.
Abstract: Searches for resonant and nonresonant pair-produced Higgs bosons (HH) decaying respectively into l nu l nu, through either W or Z bosons, and b (b) over bar are presented The analyses are based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 359 fb(-1) Data and predictions from the standard model are in agreement within uncertainties For the standard model HH hypothesis, the data exclude at 95% confidence level a product of the production cross section and branching fraction larger than 72 fb, corresponding to 79 times the standard model prediction Constraints are placed on different scenarios considering anomalous couplings, which could affect the rate and kinematics of HH production Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the production cross section of narrow-width spin-0 and spin-2 particles decaying to Higgs boson pairs, the latter produced with minimal gravity-like coupling

25 Mar 2004TL;DR: It is shown that this can be done for a quite general class of hybrid systems defined on o-minimal structures, and the problem reduces in building a finite symbolic dynamical system for the continuous dynamics of each location.
Abstract: This paper is driven by a general motto: bisimulate a hybrid system by a finite symbolic dynamical system. In the case of o-minimal hybrid systems, the continuous and discrete components can be decoupled, and hence, the problem reduces in building a finite symbolic dynamical system for the continuous dynamics of each location. We show that this can be done for a quite general class of hybrid systems defined on o-minimal structures. In particular, we recover the main result of a paper by Lafferriere G., Pappas G.J. and Sastry S. on o-minimal hybrid systems.
