Phase-selective organogelators (PSOGs) are considered as a prospective tool for their application in oil spill remediation. However, the number of reports on PSOGs that can be used powder form prompt phase-selective gelation crude oils is still limited. In this study, series compounds with l-mandelic acid scaffold bearing different amino fragments have been prepared. Also, behaviors and properties these derivatives toward organic liquids, product oils, type Chinese were investigated via...

Mixed-integer optimal control problems (MIOCPs) frequently arise in the domain of (OCPs) when decisions including integer variables are involved. However, existing state-of-the-art approaches for solving MIOCPs often plagued by drawbacks such as high computational costs, low precision, and compromised optimality. In this study, we propose a novel multiphase scheme coupled with an iterative second-order cone programming (SOCP) algorithm to efficiently effectively address these challenges...

In this paper, we examine optimization-based methods for designing the network topology when desired should have certain global variational properties, such as minimal power consumption information exchange links, or supporting fast convergence of consensus-based distributed protocols. We first classify methodology three distinct categories, namely, construction optimal non-geometric networks, time-invariant geometric and time-varying networks. then proceed to propose algorithms each class...
