Optimal Frequency Control in Isolated Microgrids Integrating Renewable Energy and PHEVs Using a Modified Ziegler–Nichols-Based Multistage PID Controller

Maintaining frequency stability in islanded microgrids (MGs) has become increasingly challenging due to the growing penetration of renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic systems, wind turbine generators (WTGs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The interm...

Engaging Black and Latinx Communities in Building Capacity for Behavioral Health

Introduction: COVID-19 affected nearly every aspect of people’s lives worldwide. In the United States, the consequences of closures and quarantine increased stress, worry, isolation, and mental health and substance use problems, leading to behavioral health (BH) problems. These c...

2D-unsteady chaotic flows for mixing two different non-Newtonian fluids: optimization and flow control

Mixing of non-Newtonian fluids has been widely studied, yet numerical investigations of the simultaneous mixing of two different shear-thinning fluids inside chaotic mixers remain limited. In this work, we numerically investigate, for the first time, the mixing of two shear-thinn...
