Abstract Non-contact actuated microbeads have attracted a lot of attention in recent years because of its enormous potential in medical, biological, and industrial applications. Researchers have proposed a multitude of e...

Abstract Deployable mechanism with preferable deployable performance, strong expansibility, and lightweight has attracted much attention because of their potential in aerospace. A basic deployable pyramid unit with good ...

Abstract Background The residential building sector is a major contributor to Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions. Over 60 % of the energy used for space and domestic hot water heating comes from fossil fuels sources a...

This paper proposes an innovative model-free deep reinforcement learning-based controller (RL-C) for a grid-connected 5-level packed-U-cell (PUC5) multilevel inverter (MLI). The controller is designed to deliver a high-q...

Abstract The kinematic equivalent model of an existing ankle-rehabilitation robot is inconsistent with the anatomical structure of the human ankle, which influences the rehabilitation effect. Therefore, this study equate...

As is well known, the integration of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) or “drones” into the National Airspace System (NAS) has captured significant industry, academic, regulatory and media attention. For sUAS th...

Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are the manifestation of solar transient eruptions, which can significantly modify the plasma and magnetic conditions in the heliosphere. They are often preceded by a shock, ...

To address the challenges of voltage deviation and increased network losses arising from the high integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in distribution networks, this paper proposes a bi-level optimisation model for c...

Abstract Spatial variations in stiffness and mass density make the free-vibration behavior of tridirectionally functionally graded material (3D-FGM) beams highly sensitive to material gradation, while computationally eff...

This paper describes the next-generation ocean forecast model for the European north-west shelf, which will become the basis of operational forecasts in 2018. This new system will provide a step change in resolution and ...

The ceiling effect, a phenomenon in which rotor thrust increases near a ceiling wall, holds significant potential for applications in energy-efficient drones and aerial manipulation. However, previous studies have not re...

Regenerative bicycle trainers support more sustainable indoor cycling by converting a rider’s kinetic energy into electrical energy while producing a controllable resistive load. For a realistic riding feel, the relati...

ABSTRACT Background Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge, necessitating accurate forecasting methodologies to support effective control and prevention strategies. This paper explores the applic...

The present work provides a parametric simulation tool to assist the experimental deposition of GaN and Ge-GaN material. For this purpose, a kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) model was developed and implemented to simulate the d...

This work introduces a novel geometrical and analytical modeling framework for predicting the stiffness properties of knitted composites, a class of materials known for their complex architectures and versatile mechanica...

Video-based road intelligent detection constitutes a critical component in modern intelligent transportation systems, serving as a crucial role for comprehensive transportation planning and emergency traffic management. ...

Abstract Internal tides are generated in the stratified ocean interior by the interaction of barotropic tidal currents with rough bathymetry. Low‐vertical‐mode internal tides can transport energy far from their gener...

Abstract Efficient management and optimal allocation of urban public sports facilities represents a critical challenge in modernizing public sports service governance. Current approaches to facility utilization assessmen...

In this work, a coupled formulation for modeling multiple piezoelectric energy harvesters based on vortex-induced vibrations phenomenon at arbitrary locations was presented and experimentally validated. The mathematical ...

This study investigates the performance of the Random Forest algorithm in measuring the quality of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Indonesia. The current reliance on administrative evaluations and conventional ac...

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...

We report an extremely rare X-ray active blue straggler star (BSS) in Collinder 261, undergoing ongoing Roche-lobe overflow in a semidetached binary in an Algol-type configuration with an orbital period of P _orb  ∼ ...

The Pearl River Basin, a pivotal river system in Southern China, traverses ecologically fragile zones including the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, port trading zones of the Beibu Gulf in Guangxi, and urban economic zones of the...

The twin star configuration, where two neutron stars share the same mass but exhibit different radii, can arise from a strong first-order phase transition in the dense-matter equation of state (EoS). This first-order pha...
