Quantumized Hall resistance (QHR) provides a traceable absolute reference for resistance measurement. However, the traditional transfer system based on super-conducting current comparator (CCC) relies on cryogenic liquid...

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) truss arch bridges are widely used in long-span bridge construction due to their high strength, good stiffness, and excellent durability. However, arch rib joints, as critical load-be...

With the rapid expansion of transport infrastructure into complex mountainous terrain, bridge-tunnel connecting sections (BTCSs) have emerged as a common yet distinct configuration characterized by high bridge-to-tunnel ...

Abstract The vortex-induced vibration (VIV) characteristics of a long-span twin continuous steel box girder bridge under varying wind angles of attack (α m ), Scruton numbers (Sc), heights of beam (D = 0.078 m, 0.108 m,...

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) continue to grow in both popularity and utility within the national airspace system. The use of commercial UAS for civil inspection, specifically that of bridge structures, is becoming commo...

Abstract Electrostatically tunable quantum confinement in nanoscale systems offers unprecedented opportunities for manipulating artificial quantum matter, positioning these platforms at the frontier of quantum science. T...

The earthquake liquefaction is one of the direct causes for unstable ground and damage of upper structure. Therefore, the liquefaction assessment is an important part of anti-seismic investigation in engineering. By taki...

The parameters obtained from the piezocone penetration tests (CPTU) have been widely used for soil profiling and geostratigraphy over the decades. In this study, large amount of CPTU soundings and parallel drilling borin...

Optical photons play unique role in transmitting information over long distances. Photonic links by the optical fiber networks compose the backbone of today’s global internet. Such fiber optics can also provide the mos...

This article considers the influence of local one-sided damage on the stress-strain state of a reinforced concrete beam. The research is aimed at analyzing changes in load-bearing capacity, deformations, and potential fa...

ABSTRACT Oscillatory dynamics play a central role in the description of a broad spectrum of physical systems. While often well‐approximated by linear models, the essential long‐term evolution and stability of these s...

Orientation: This study explored how executive coaching can strengthen emotionally intelligent leadership behaviours and improve collaboration between senior and middle-level leaders in a South African engineering organ...

The rapid expansions of artificial intelligence (AI), big data (BD), and information and communication technologies (ICT) are driving substantial growth in electricity, water, and material demands, with data centers proj...

High-fidelity simulation of extreme high-gravity shock environments is crucial for aerospace and defense applications, yet achieving spectral consistency between laboratory pulses and real-world shocks remains challengin...

ABSTRACT This work reports an interesting phosphorescent resonance energy transfer (PRET) system with a large Stokes shift (320 nm) and near‐infrared (NIR) delayed fluorescence emission for high‐performance bioimagi...

Pixel-level segmentation is critical for remote sensing applications, yet traditional supervised methods suffer from high annotation costs. While foundational vision models like CLIP and the Segment Anything Model (SAM) ...

Abstract Currently, a 2-port microwave transmission line with a glass window is usually used to transmit microwave energy to a pressure vessel while sealing the high-pressure gas. In this situation, the damage of the bri...

Ground coal bunker blockage hinders production at a coal mine in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, with wall adhesion and arching as two main types of blockage. This study proposes a carbon dioxide (CO2) blasting method as a...

Abstract Large-diameter monopiles are extensively used to support onshore bridges, port terminals, and offshore wind farms due to their high load-bearing capacity, low settlement and excellent seismic performance. Meanwh...

Electrochemical migration (ECM) is a major concern in modern electronics because miniaturization has reduced insulation distances and electronics are now operated in harsher environments than before. Previous studies on ...

To study the deformation, failure and long-term stability of soft surrounding rock (mudstone) tunnel anchorage under heavy loads, the Changjiang River Bridge under construction is taken as an example, in which 1∶30 red...

The effectiveness of piezoelectric footwear depends on accurately identifying the areas of the shoe that experience the greatest pressure during walking or running. These high-pressure zones are ideal for placing piezoel...

This study presents a structured, integrated methodology that combines Lean Six Sigma and TRIZ to support the transition of a wave energy converter from a laboratory proof-of-concept to an industrializable system. It add...
