Since the transportation industry is poised to become the most important new market for large-scale efficient biomass usage, here is where most of the focus will be placed. Bio-energy contribution, now estimated at 40EJ to 55 EJ per year, is expected to expand significantly in the future. Nevertheless, the precise objective of bio-energy will be dependent on the competitiveness aspect with bio-fuels and on agriculture policy globally. For the rest of this century as least, observations suggest a range of 200–300 EJ, rendering biomass a more significant alternatives of energy supply compared to mineral oil. The need to update bio-energy practices so they are compatible with sustainable development strategies is a major concern. It is expected that within the next two to three decades, the cost of electricity generated using sophisticated conversion concepts (such as gasification and contemporary co-firing and gasification) and contemporary biomass sourced fuels (e.g., hydrogen, methanol, and ethyl alcohol from the lignocellulosic biomass) will be competitive with conventional energy sources (partly based on price development with petroleum). An even more efficient and cost-effective biofuel production system may be developed from sugarcane-centric ethanol within the tropical climates.","PeriodicalId":240206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Intelligence in Materials Science","volume":"109 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140513151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There has been a significant increase in the quantity of training data sets, processing capacity, and deep learning techniques that are all favorable to the widespread use of AI in fields like material science. Attempting to learn anything new by trial and error is a slow and ineffective approach. Therefore, AI, and particularly machine learning, may hasten the process by gleaning rules from information and constructing predictive models. In traditional computational chemistry, human scientists give the formulae, and the computer just crunches the numbers. In this article, we take a look back at the ways in which artificial intelligence has been put to use in the creation of new materials, such as in their design, performance prediction, and synthesis. In these programs, an emphasis is placed on the specifics of AI methodology implementation and the benefits gained over more traditional approaches. The last section elaborates, from both an algorithmic and an infrastructural perspective, where AI is headed in the future.","PeriodicalId":240206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Intelligence in Materials Science","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120962203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bacterial infections have remained a significant source of death and morbidity, despite the availability of many powerful antibiotics and other antimicrobial measures. Because of rising worries about drug-resistant bacteria and diseases linked to biofilms, there is an urgent need to create new bactericidal techniques. As a result, the science of antimicrobial chemotherapeutic has focused heavily on recently developed nanoparticle-based materials. Nanoparticles are discussed in this article in terms of their antimicrobial properties, their method of action, their influence on drug-resistant microorganisms, and the hazards associated with their usage.

For historical reasons, developing a standard has always included reaching a consensus among national and international groups. Voting determines whether or not the proposed standards will be accepted, and this is not geared for the consumer. Hence, including design principles into the process of creating material standards is beneficial. While looking at various material standards, it is not immediately clear how the customers' requirements have been met. This article will seek out the requirements of the consumer in terms of material standards and then look at the ways those needs have been addressed in four distinct norms. It would not zero in on any one material, but rather try to identify needs shared by designers across disciplines and media. As a result, there is no one standard that meets all of the criteria, and all of the standards only meet some of them.","PeriodicalId":240206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Intelligence in Materials Science","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121828646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Architects and engineers responsible for making this option typically lack access to assessment tools aimed at assisting them in the selection of materials, despite the fact that this second factor is just as crucial to the actual fulfillment of 'greenness' standards. The environment is being harmed by human activities such as manufacturing, transportation, and mining. Saving the planet's natural resources has proven difficult for scientists and engineers since doing so means lowering society's performance, development pace, and standard of living. We have gone a long way in creating tools that might prevent more ecological damage and slow the depletion of vital resources. The notion of \"green buildings\" is based on the same idea. Increasing a building's energy efficiency utilizing green natural or renewable resources rather than non-renewable resources is a key component of green construction, according to this perspective. In this study, we discuss the criteria that should be used to pick green building materials.","PeriodicalId":240206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Intelligence in Materials Science","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126699139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis are recognized as distinct fields championed by two scientific societies, namely solid state and molecular chemistry. Despite their differences, both domains share a common goal of seeking to enhance catalytic performance. Nanocatalysis has gained prominence as a burgeoning scientific discipline in recent times, owing to its exceptional levels of activity, selectivity, and productivity. The distinctive characteristics of nanocatalysts arise from their nanoscale dimensions, morphology, and significantly elevated surface area to volume ratio. These structural and electronic modifications distinguish them from their bulk counterparts, resulting in unique properties. At the nanoscale level, the principles of quantum chemistry and classical physics are not applicable. In materials characterised by robust chemical bonding, the degree of electron delocalization can be substantial and may exhibit size-dependent variability. The primary objective of this review is to expound upon the critical understanding of nanocatalysis, detailing how the different catalytic feature and other particle features of nanomaterials are contingent on their structure and size at an atomic level.","PeriodicalId":240206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Intelligence in Materials Science","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131811797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
