Layout and Assembly Selection Algorithm for Standard Ring+Turning Ring Shield Tunnel Segments

Objective To address the challenges associated with the manual layout and point selection of S+T (standard rings+turning rings (double-sided wedges)) in shield tunnel segments, including high subjectivity, complex calculations, and heavy re...

Logics of Statements in Context-Category Independent Basics

Based on a formalization of open formulas as statements in context, the paper presents a freshly new and abstract view of logics and specification formalisms. Generalizing concepts like sets of generators in Group Theory, underlying graph o...

Software engineering and middleware

The construction of a large class of distributed systems can be simplified by leveraging middleware, which is layered between network operating systems and application components. Middleware resolves heterogeneity and facilitates communicat...

Advances and perspectives for receiver function imaging of the Earth's internal discontinuities and velocity structures

Studying the structures, properties and origins of the Earth's internal discontinuities is an important part in the efforts to understand the physical and chemical properties of the layered Earth, as well as to explore the dynamic processes...

Nonresonant renormalization scheme for twist-2 operators in SU(N) Yang–Mills theory

Abstract Recently, the short-distance asymptotics of the generating functional of n-point correlators of twist-2 operators in SU(N) Yang–Mills (YM) theory has been worked out in Bochicchio et al. (Phys Rev D 108:054023, 2023). The above com...

The pure Yang-Mills field, I: fixed time existence

The convergence of renormalized perturbation theory to all finite orders is defined and shown to be valid for the fixed time perturbation theory of a pure Yang-Mills field. Two pure Yang-Mills quantum gauge field theories are constructed, o...

A multi-year analysis of Canadian Arctic historical weather data in support of solar and wind renewable energy deployment

This work explores the importance of renewable resource temporal distribution for solar and wind energy deployment in Arctic communities to meet building and ancillary loads. An analysis of ten years of historic weather data was performed f...

Thermal performance analysis of net zero energy home for sub zero temperature areas

With the increase in energy demand globally, environmental risks are also becoming more serious than ever before. Emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) are hastily contributing to global warming and ozone deplet...

Research on the Configuration of a 100% Green Electricity Supplied Zero-Carbon Integrated Energy Station

In the context of rapid growth in renewable energy installations and increasingly severe consumption issues, this paper designs a 100% green electricity supplied zero-carbon integrated energy station. It aims to analyze its configuration fo...

Lifecycle Environmental Impact Assessment of an Overtopping Wave Energy Converter Embedded in Breakwater Systems

Overtopping breakwater systems are among the most promising technologies for exploiting wave energy to generate electricity. They consist in water reservoirs, embedded in piers, placed on top of ramps, higher than sea-level. Pushed by wave ...

A comprehensive review on the adoption of insulated block/eco-block as a green building technology from a resident perspective

Green building technologies (GBTs) have gained significant momentum as a result of the environmental, energy management and societal problems within the building sector. The insulated block/eco-block is a GBT, which consists of an insulatio...

Tailoring structural properties of carbon via implanting optimal co nanoparticles in n‐rich carbon cages toward high‐efficiency oxygen electrocatalysis for rechargeable zn‐air batteries

Abstract Rational construction of carbon‐based materials with high‐efficiency bifunctionality and low cost as the substitute of precious metal catalyst shows a highly practical value for rechargeable Zn‐air batteries (ZABs) yet it still rem...

Magnetic field reconstruction from proton radiography via physics-guided out-of-distribution filtering

Reconstructing multidimensional vector fields from path-integrated projection data is a fundamental challenge in high-energy-density physics, particularly when experimental sources exhibit spectral broadening and shot-to-shot jitter. We pre...
