This paper presents a reliable and robust optimization for minimum drag of an aircraft at the conceptual design phase. Firstly, the conceptual design code was developed and existing Single Seat Aerobatic (SSA) aircraft w...

Unmanned aerial rotorcraft vehicles have many military, commercial and civil applications. There is a necessity to advance the performance on several ranges of rotorcraft for using these vehicles successfully in the expa...

Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have significantly advanced data modelling capabilities and improved opportunities for extracting knowledge from vast and heterogeneo...

The increasing complexity of pharmaceutical management in pharmacies demands efficient systems to streamline drug classification and inventory control. As pharmacies handle a diverse range of formulations, including tabl...

Abstract The advancement and development of medical surgical robots have provided new technological support for brain surgery and neurosurgical procedures, improving the reliability of highly complex and precise surgerie...

We report the design of a high-throughput gradient hyperbolic lenslet built with real-life materials and capable of focusing a beam into a deep sub-wavelength spot of λ/23. This efficient design is achieved through high...

Although vaccination remains one of the most impactful interventions in contemporary public health, with consistent and widely documented reductions in morbidity and mortality, the traditional empirical development of va...

This paper presents a linear antenna array design employing the Dolph-Chebyshev method to achieve high gain while effectively minimizing side-lobe levels for IoT applications. The proposed approach strikes a balance betw...

The number of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) has dramatically increased in recent years. As a consequence, the number of incidents involving manned and unmanned aircraft has soared. For this reason, the Federal A...

Forward-towed towfish systems offer practical advantages for uncrewed surface vehicle (USV)-based operations because they are inherently compatible with simplified launch-and-recovery procedures and reduced deck interven...

The present work focuses on the study of low thrust propulsion systems. Cold gas, thermal and monopropellant systems with a blow down depressurisation mode have been taken in consideration in this study. Most of propella...

This brief addressed the control design problem for a bilinear dynamical system with two approaches. The first approach is proportional-integral passivity-based control theory (PI-PBC), and the second control approach is...

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has become a central tool for managing civil infrastructure. In modern SHM, the physical structure and the SHM system together form a coupled cyber-physical system. Due to the networked...

During the golden-time phase of urban disasters, emergency response systems must issue timely directives that remain compliant with jurisdictional policies and regulations, even when early human reports precede reliable ...

Assessment systems in higher education are typically described through scales, points, and formal procedures. However, can one understand what function assessment actually performs – supporting learning or administrati...

Abstract Despite the extensive use of synthetic and semi-synthetic lipids in nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) systems, the utilization of Shorea spp. (Illipe butter or tengkawang fat), an indigenous natural solid lipid...

Controllability is a fundamental property of control systems, serving as the prerequisite for controller design. While controllability test is well established in modelic (i.e., model-driven) control systems, extending i...

IntroductionEducation for sustainable development (ESD) has become a key focus in higher education transformation. Design disciplines play a unique role in cultivating students' creativity to address complex social and e...

In environmental management, developing a scientific and methodological approach to the design and optimization of technological systems remains a pressing issue. The proposed approach is based on the integration of onto...

ABSTRACT Gamification has gained momentum in STEM education as a way to boost student engagement, motivation, and conceptual learning. A wide variety of games, from short in-class activities to long-format student-built ...

The application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology is a significant step toward improving the sustainability and responsiveness of the built environment. The current work introduces the Adaptive and Sustainable IoT I...

Foodborne pathogen outbreaks impose a substantial and escalating burden on global public health, food systems, and economies, with the World Health Organization estimating over 600 million illness episodes and 420,000 de...

Abstract This study investigated the design and implementation of an adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) utilizing diffractive optical elements (DOEs) for automotive applications, addressing challenges found in conventi...
