Consumer product usability has been addressed using tools that evaluate objects to improve user interaction. However, such diversity in approach makes it challenging to select a method for the type of product being assessed. This article compiles the...
Recent trends in aeroelastic analysis have shown a great interest in understanding the role of shock boundary layer interaction in predicting the dynamic instability of aircraft structural components at supersonic and hypersonic flows. The analysis o...
The purpose of this article is to present three related studies that build on each other to demonstrate first the need and then the efficacy of the Blended Arithmetic Curriculum (BAC) to help students overcome both slow language processing and the en...
The article discusses the application of quaternion Fourier transforms and quaternion algebra to transform Maxwell’s equations. This makes it possible to present the problem of magnetotelluric sensing (MTS) in a more convenient form for researc...
To enable net zero sustainable thermal building energy, this study develops an open-source thermal house model to couple solar photovoltaic (PV) and heat pumps (HPs) for grid-connected residential housing. The calculation of both space heating and co...
This paper proposes a new post-quantum signature scheme, Syrga2, based on hash functions. As known, existing post-quantum algorithms are classified based on their structures. The proposed Syrga2 scheme belongs to the class of multi-use signatures wit...
Supersonic impinging jets are a versatile configuration that can model the compressible flows of cold-spray manufacturing and vertical take-off-and landing strategy. In this work, rhoCentralFoam, solver of the OpenFOAM framework, and a large-eddy sim...
The static and fatigue analysis of plates made of 2D woven roving composites with holes is conducted. The parametrization of convex holes is proposed. The experimental results of the specimens without holes and with different shapes of notches are di...
A configurable design of a microstrip square spiral RFID tag antenna, for a wide range of microwave frequencies in the S- and C-band, is presented. The design is parameterized in dimensions, and hence changing the design frequency (or frequencies) is...
This article describes an approach for optimizing sensor-controlled systems through minimal intervention, utilizing fuzzy linear systems of equations (FLSEs). Starting with a generalized model of the system behavior, we incorporate an array of contro...
This paper aims to design a quadratic optimization model of an investment portfolio based on value-at-risk (VaR) by entering risk-free assets and company liabilities. The designed model develops Markowitz’s investment portfolio optimization mod...
The therapeutic potential of delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a primary cannabinoid in the cannabis plant, has led to its development into oral medical products for treating various conditions. However, THC, being a psychoactive substance, can lead...
The work presented in this paper makes multiple scientific contributions related to the investigation of the global fear associated with COVID-19 by performing a comprehensive analysis of a dataset comprising survey responses of participants from 40...
This paper provides a new fractional boundary element method (BEM) solution for nonlinear nonlocal thermoelastic problems with anisotropic fibrous polymer nanoparticles. This comprehensive BEM solution comprises two solutions: the anisotropic fibrous...
The use of robot manipulators in engineering applications and scientific research has significantly increased in recent years. This can be attributed to the rise of technologies such as autonomous robotics and physics-based simulation, along with the...
Orthogonal polynomials and their moments serve as pivotal elements across various fields. Discrete Krawtchouk polynomials (DKraPs) are considered a versatile family of orthogonal polynomials and are widely used in different fields such as probability...
A recently proposed scalar forcing scheme that maintains the mixture fraction mean, root-mean-square and probability density function in the unburned gas can lead to a statistically quasi-stationary state in direct numerical simulations of turbulent...
Early detection of plant nutrient deficiency is crucial for agricultural productivity. This study investigated the performance and interpretability of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for this task. Using the rice and banana datasets, we compared...
Cervical cancer is the fourth most diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women globally. Its onset and progression have been attributed to high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types, especially 16 and 18, while the Epstein&...
Critical distance concerns precise digital levelling, which has inaccurate results at a certain sighting distance. The influence of critical distance on a measured height difference has been confirmed by calibrating certain digital levels and their a...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the main causes of death in the world. Functional indices such as fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary flow reserve (CFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are used to estimate the severity of CAD. App...
There has been immense progress in medical image analysis over the past decade [...]
