Inconsistent Patterns of Soil Fauna Biodiversity and Soil Physicochemical Characteristic Along an Urbanization Gradient

Urbanization has induced substantial changes in soil physicochemical characteristic, which plays an important role in regulating soil fauna biodiversity in forests and grasslands. However, less is known about the urbanization effect on soil...

Effect of fire-source location on flame behavior and temperature distribution in subway carriages with multiple lateral openings

Urban rail transit has been widely adopted to alleviate surface traffic congestion. However, subway fire safety remains a critical concern because of the confined carriage space, high occupant density, and complex ventilation conditions. Mo...

Information models for machine vision systems

The article examines the information models used in machine vision systems. The content of machine vision systems is disclosed in terms of their belonging to the field of information technology. Two main subsystems are described. The main i...

An enhanced model predictive control method for single-stage three-phase transformerless grid-connected photovoltaic inverter

The single-stage transformerless photovoltaic (PV) topology is an attractive configuration as it offers high efficiency, low installation cost and smaller size. For such a configuration, the control algorithm should be designed to track the...

Collision Avoidance Strategies for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems in Structured Airspace Using a Roundabout Intersection

The increasing size of the Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) ecosystem necessitates effective infrastructure and Collision Avoidance (CA) systems to facilitate high-density UAS traffic in urban environments. Unfortunately, current-generation A...

Evaluating the impact of urban traffic patterns on air pollution emissions in Dublin: a regression model using google project air view data and traffic data

Abstract Air pollution is a significant and pressing environmental and public health concern in urban areas, primarily driven by road transport. By gaining a deeper understanding of how traffic dynamics influence air pollution, policymakers...

Fuzzy Constrained Predictive Optimal Control of High Speed Train with Actuator Dynamics

We investigate the problem of fuzzy constrained predictive optimal control of high speed train considering the effect of actuator dynamics. The dynamics feature of the high speed train is modeled as a cascade of cars connected by flexible c...

A study on the Joule-Thomson effect of during filling hydrogen in high pressure tank

With the development of the hydrogen fuel cell automobile industry, higher requirements are put forward for the construction of hydrogen energy infrastructure, the matching of parameters and the control strategy of hydrogen filling rate in ...

Resource-Constrained Edge AI Solution for Real-Time Pest and Disease Detection in Chili Pepper Fields

This paper presents a low-cost, fully on-premise Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) system designed to support real-time pest and disease detection in open-field chili pepper cultivation. The proposed architecture integrates AI-Thinker ESP32...

Dislocation-Grain Boundary Interaction Dataset for FCC Cu

Abstract Interactions between dislocations and grain boundaries play a major role in controlling the strength and ductility of structural materials. Experimentally, assessing and probing geometric and stress-based criteria at the local leve...

Mechanism for rapid growth of organic–inorganic halide perovskite crystals

Single crystals of lead halide perovskites exhibit good optoelectronic properties. Here, the authors study and deduce the mechanism for crystallisation and show how controlling dissolution of colloids through varying the acidity and tempera...

Computational analysis of visible frequency plasmonic properties of graphene on wide band gap heterostructures

Abstract Control over plasmonic properties and local electric field enhancement has become an essential aspect of many modern technologies. Here we investigate these phenomena in graphene / hexagonal boron nitride (G/h-BN) heterostructures ...

Correlating single-molecule rupture mechanics with cell population adhesion by yeast display

Here, we present a method based on yeast surface display that allows for direct comparison between population-level cell adhesion strength and single-molecule receptor-ligand rupture mechanics. We developed a high-throughput yeast adhesion ...

Automatic visual inspection system for quality control of the sandwich panel and detecting the dipping and buckling of the surfaces

In this paper, an automated inspection system is proposed for detecting the location and measuring the size of existing dipping or buckling on the sandwich panel surface using an RGB camera and an inexpensive linear laser. The proposed meth...

RFID Applications and Security Review

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is widely used in several contexts, such as logistics, supply chains, asset tracking, and health, among others, therefore drawing the attention of many researchers. This paper presents a review of the m...
