Characterization of Wing Kinematics by Decoupling Joint Movement in the Pigeon

Birds have remarkable flight capabilities due to their adaptive wing morphology. However, studying live birds is time-consuming and laborious, and obtaining information about the complete wingbeat cycle is difficult. To address this issue a...

Multi-channel transorbital electrical stimulation for effective stimulation of posterior retina

Abstract Transorbital electrical stimulation (tES) has been studied as a new noninvasive method for treating intractable eye diseases by delivering weak electrical current to the eye through a pair of electrodes attached to the skin around ...

Comparative Analysis of Deep Natural Networks and Large Language Models for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis is essential for comprehending public opinion, particularly when considering e-commerce and the expansion of online businesses. Early approaches treated sentiment analysis as a document or sentence-level classification pr...

An Optimization Model for Reliability Improvement and Cost Reduction Through EV Smart Charging

There is a general concern that the increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) will result in higher aging failure probability of equipment and reduced network reliability. The electricity costs may also increase, due to the exacerba...

Data-Driven Clustering Analysis for Representative Electric Vehicle Charging Profile in South Korea
