Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) are widely adopted in industry to assess the dependability of safety-critical equipment. Since many systems are too large to be studied numerically, DFTs dependability is often analysed using M...

With recent developments in nanotechnologies, metal nanoparticles permeate a wide range of dimension scales, from light wavelength-scale domains down to a few nanometers approaching electronic scales. The electrodynamics...

Abstract Initial residual stress is the main reason causing machining deformation of the workpiece, which has been deemed as one of the most important aspects of machining quality issues. The inference of the distributio...

Holograms which reconstruct the transverse profile of light with complex-amplitude information have demonstrated more excellent performances with an improved signal-to-noise ratio compared with those containing amplitude...

The on-chip optical power splitter is a common and important device in photonic integrated circuits (PICs). To achieve a low insertion loss and high uniformity while splitting the guided light, multi-mode interferometer-...

Developed in this paper is a traffic flow model parametrised to describe abnormal traffic behaviour. In large traffic networks, the immediate detection and categorisation of traffic incidents/accidents is of capital impo...

Abstract Cavitation inside a torque converter induces noise, vibration and even failure, and these effects have been disregarded in previous torque converter design processes. However, modern torque converter application...

Abstract The acoustic propagation characteristics of axisymmetric waves have been widely used in leak detection of fluid-filled pipes. The related acoustic methods and equipment are gradually coming to the market, but th...

Within the framework of the Dogonadze-Kuznetsov-Levich theory, using the model of isotropic spherically symmetric bands with a root dependence on the energy of density of states, an expression for discharge currents at t...

Abstract Background Nausea and emesis can be, among other signs, common manifestations of acute vestibular system dysfunction in dogs. Currently, antiemetic drugs, such as maropitant and metoclopramide, are used commonly...

Single pixel imaging as an alternative to traditional imaging methods, has attracted extensive attention in various research fields. Metasurfaces with subwavelength unit cells and compact footprint can be used as a subst...

Context. The Calern Asteroid Polarimetric Survey (CAPS), a collaboration between the INAF Astrophysical Observatory of Torino (Italy) and the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur (Nice, France), has produced new asteroid pola...

We study the evolution of dust in a cosmological volume using a hydrodynamical simulation in which the dust production is coupled with the MUPPI (MUlti Phase Particle Integrator) sub-resolution model of star formation an...

Abstract Broadband Power Line Communication (BB-PLC) technology enables data transmission for smart grid applications. Nevertheless, channel equalizers are required in the receiver to estimate and compensate for the nonl...
