Accurate deformation forecasting is essential for concrete dam safety monitoring, yet real-world deformation series are often nonlinear, nonstationary, and contaminated by noise, missing values, and outliers, which limit...

Abstract In this work a Finite-Difference Frequency-Domain (FDFD) propagation method for complex urban environments is proposed. The formulation starts from the discretization of the Helmholtz equation for the magnetic f...

Abstract Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the leading enabling technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT) at low cost and high granularity scenarios. The cost of implementing IoT applications concerns th...

Abstract Background Adequate housing is a basic human right. The many millions of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) have a lower life expectancy and more physical and mental health problems. Practical and effective ...

Abstract Background Pyrethroid resistance continues to undermine malaria vector control across Africa, particularly in agricultural hotspots where insecticide pressure is high. However, the molecular mechanisms enabling ...

ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation systems and harvest frequencies on the cultivation of cactus pear. The study was conducted in the semi-arid region, in the municipality of Russas,...

This article presents an light-emitting diode (LED) driver that actively reduces low-frequency output current ripple through a duty-cycle modulation scheme, enabling the use of compact film capacitors and eliminating ele...

BackgroundIn the field of geological exploration of coal mines, methods such as in-seam seismic exploration, the transient electromagnetic method, and audio-frequency electrical penetration offer unique technical advanta...

Abstract Compared with conventional forming processes, ultrasonic-assisted forming technology with a high frequency and small amplitude can significantly improve the forming quality of materials. Owing to the advantages ...

Abstract Background Entomological outcomes are critical for understanding the biological mechanisms and operational performance of malaria vector control interventions. However, the quality and consistency of how these o...

Terahertz (0.1–10 THz corresponding to vacuum wavelengths between 30 μm and 3 mm) research has experienced impressive progress in the last few decades. The importance of this frequency range stems from unique applicat...

Abstract A precise detection of the fault feature parameter of motor current is a new research hotspot in the broken rotor bar (BRB) fault diagnosis of induction motors. Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is the most popul...

Abstract Extreme heat poses increasing public health risks due to climate change, yet adoption of protective behaviours remains suboptimal. This study applied the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behaviour (COM-B...

Abstract Recently, numerous lightweight image super-resolution methods with low computational complexity have been proposed, achieving a promising trade-off between reconstruction quality and efficiency. However, most ex...

This describes a low-energy voltage level shifter (LS) architecture. We further introduce a regulated cross-coupled (RCC) pull-up network to achieve a considerable reduction in dynamic power consumption with higher switc...

Abstract Substantial efforts have been made to modernize and decarbonize the waste collection industry. Smart sensor-based waste collection (SWC) systems have been developed to optimize collection routes based on the act...

Abstract The shift from internal combustion engines to electric powertrains has redefined the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) profile of contemporary vehicles. The reduction of engine-generated broadband noise has ...

Currently; grapheme offers a new opportunity to use in space technology and this is due to its amazing properties like conductivity, strength, flexibility and transparency which allows us to exploit new generation of ult...

The electrophysical properties of magnesium oxide chemically modified with copper iodide have been studied in the superfrequency range and low-frequency in the temperature range 25 – 170<sup>о</sup>С and ...

This paper presents a cross-coupled, closed-loop digital phase control strategy for two-phase interleaved boost power factor correction (PFC) converters operating in boundary conduction mode (BCM) and discontinuous condu...

The organ of Corti, the auditory mammalian sensory epithelium, contains two types of mechanotransducer cells, inner and outer hair cells (IHCs and OHCs, respectively). IHCs are involved in conveying acoustic stimuli to t...

Abstract Background Holmes tremor (HT) is a rare, symptomatic movement disorder characterized by a low-frequency tremor present at rest, with postural and intentional components. It is typically caused by combined lesion...

Large fractures tend to dominate the hydraulic and mechanical properties of fracture networks and, consequently, of fractured rock masses. Hence, their characterization is of primary interest in a variety of applications...

Abstract Background Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is one of the common pathological subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer, which poses significant treatment challenges due to poor response to conventional therapie...
