Cooling and chemical preservation procedures are the typical postharvest techniques after harvest. Many researchers have lately used light-emitting diode (LED) therapy for postharvest storage of fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes are known as a superfood because they contain many compounds beneficial to human health. Tomato fruit contains a high proportion of lycopene, which increases as the fruit ripens to the breaker stage. LED systems have evolved as a clean and effective artificial lighting solution for use in horticulture. This research aimed to evaluate the influence of LEDs on postharvest and quality metrics. The impact on quality criteria varied greatly depending on the tomato fruit variety. Studies were conducted on timelines of LED light exposure per day throughout the postharvest fruit stage, which boosted commercial and organoleptic indices and lycopene concentrations. Overall, the results of this study indicated that postharvest exposure of tomato fruits to LED light causes lycopene synthesis, with a concentration of lycopene 41% greater than when subjected to light, dark, and 24% higher than when exposed to other LED lighting settings.","PeriodicalId":242467,"journal":{"name":"EPiC Series in Engineering","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126893762","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}

FGMs have been used in the manufacturing of structural parts that are subjected to non-uniform functioning requirements in recent years. In a thermal protection system, for example, FGMs combine the benefits of traditional ceramics, such as corrosion and heat resistance, with those of metal, such as mechanical strength and rigidity. They are common in engineering practice, so static analysis and dynamic analysis for FGM plate structures are necessary. The radial point interpolation method (RPIM) meshless method has been used based on the point interpolation method (PIM) by including the radial basis function (RPF) in the interpolation formulation and has shown good performance in computational engineering. One of the advantages of this method is that it satisfies the Kronecker’s delta function, which overcomes the limitations of critical boundary conditions for the traditional meshless method. Furthermore, RPIM shape function satisfies the high-order continuity constraint, which the low-order finite element methods (FEM) method does not. This paper presents a meshless approach for the static and dynamic analysis of FGM plates whose material properties vary through the thickness. Numerical examples are solved and the results are compared with reference solutions or the results of FEM given by SOMSOL program to confirm the accuracy of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":242467,"journal":{"name":"EPiC Series in Engineering","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129892355","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}

The inhomogeneity between work cycles is the cause of the fluctuated power as well as other working parameters of the engine. It is expressed through the amount of fuel supplied to the cycle and the quality of the combustion process. The problem is to find a way to reduce the instability. The creation of devices for instability control based on nonlinear dynamic method is a new direction in studying the essence of inhomogeneity between work cycles. This paper presents experimental results on the instability of the combustion process in an internal combustion engine through the control method of fuel supply time. Studying the orderly structure of the resulting time-series pressure graph will further explain the essence of the inhomogeneity. Based on the results of the investigation of the pressure turbulence in the engine cylinders as well as the inhomogeneity between work cycles determined entirely by random processes, it will be possible to generate a different form of pressure graph using a suitable fuel injection timing device. The selection of signal interval control for injectors is studied and presented in this paper that is the basis for further studies to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engine in each operation mode.","PeriodicalId":242467,"journal":{"name":"EPiC Series in Engineering","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121656806","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}

In this study, a mesh-free Radial Point Interpolation Method (RPIM) has been proposed to solve a coupled thermo-mechanical problem in functionally graded metal/ceramic plates. The most important advantage of this method is that the shape functions satisfy the property of Kronecker's delta function.
