Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new approach to optimize the TiO2 concentration on a resistive‐type humidity sensing mechanism (RHSM) based on artificial neural network.

Design/methodology/approach

First is the modeling of the sensing mechanism. Using neuronal networks and Matlab environment to accurately express the output of the sensing mechanism, this model thus takes into account the parameter, non‐linearity, hysteresis, temperature and frequency; furthermore, the TiO2 concentration effect on the humidity sensing properties in the model is investigated. In a second step, the Matlab environment is used to create a database for an ideal model for the sensing mechanism, where the response of this ideal model is linear for any above parameters value.

Findings

An analytical model for the sensing mechanism “SM” and the ideal model “IM” has been created. The bias matrix and the weights matrix were used to establish the SM model and the IM on performance simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis simulator, where the output of the first is identical to the RHSM output and the output of the last is the ideal response.

Originality/value

The paper proposes an electrical circuit used to optimize the TiO2 concentration of a resistive humidity sensing mechanism.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to study the intellectual landscape of green purchase (GP) literature, visualize and analyse the temporal evolution, thematic mapping of emerging and future research themes using a systematic and quantitative literature review approach.

Design/methodology/approach

The study employs a bibliometric analysis and examines the bibliometric metadata consisting of 440 studies extracted from the Scopus database for the years 1990–2022 within the GP field.

Findings

The findings based on performance analysis and visualization networks reveal the productivity trend of GP by years, authors, academic relationships, international collaborations, top cited publications, most occurring keywords, existing and emerging themes and temporal theme evolution.

Research limitations/implications

It provides a broader/macro view of the topic and lacks specificity and deeper analysis, which can be addressed in future bibliometric studies.

Practical implications

The integration of topics contributes to the development of the intellectual landscape of the GP research field and suggests thrust areas for future research. The study offers important implications for the academic community to gain a comprehensive and global understanding of green purchasing.

Originality/value

This research is unique as previous studies have not quantitatively compiled and extensively analysed work of these characteristics on the area under study using bibliometrics.
