Superior comprehensive energy storage in high-entropy Lead-free quasi-linear Relaxor ceramics by local heterogeneous polarization.

Adopting a Subscription-Based Business Model (SBBM) can facilitate the transition from linear to circular systems by encouraging actions that reduce resource consumption, reuse assets linked to SBBM, and support the recovery and recycling of depleted resources. However, implementing circular economy initiatives can increase the operational complexities and costs associated with SBBMs, necessitating further investigation to optimise profitability. Accordingly, this study presents a Closed Jackson Network (CJN) for an SBBM model to maximise profit in a network involving an asset supplier, a subscription company, asset screening centres, and a recycling centre. Moreover, this study compares the performance of a circular SBBM with the performance of a linear system. Our results reveal that, although the circular economy (CE) introduces new and atypical practices that lead to additional operations and costs, the closed-loop system offsets these increasing SBBM costs by setting optimal subscription fees, revenue from recycled materials, and conducting inventory level optimisation over the circular system. Furthermore, the SBBM is found to perform better in implementing CE practices, especially in cases where linear systems are characterised by low customer enthusiasm for participating in recycling activities and/or reusing programmes.

This article investigates the leader-following cluster consensus for generic linear heterogeneous multiagent systems (MASs). Unlike the existing research, a novel event-triggered (ET) control mechanism is designed and developed on the transmission side of the agents, over directed communication topologies, to reduce communication load. For this purpose, a variable threshold function as the fully distributed ET condition (ETC) is suggested, which provides a smooth transition and considers both maximum and minimum threshold levels for triggering. A relative-state feedback-based cluster consensus control protocol is designed by considering the cooperative and competitive interaction behavior of agents. Then, the convergence analysis is performed by utilizing the Lyapunov method. This work is then further extended for the ET observer-based output feedback cluster consensus problem. The proposed ETC naturally eliminates the Zeno behavior for each agent. In contrast to existing methods, a variable threshold-based ET scheme, a cooperation-competition network, and an elimination of Zeno behavior for both state-based and output-based methods have been considered for the leader-following cluster consensus. Finally, illustrative examples are used to validate the theoretical results.
