Grain yield (GY) prediction based on non-destructive UAV-based spectral sensing could make screening of large field trials more efficient and objective. However, the transfer of models remains challenging, and is affected by location, year-dependent...

Fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance (FOSPR) sensing technology has become an appealing candidate in biochemical sensing applications due to its distinguished capability of remote and point-of-care detection. However, FOSPR sensing devices with a fl...

The anatomical complexity of brachial plexus injury requires specialized in-depth diagnostics. The clinical examination should include clinical neurophysiology tests, especially with reference to the proximal part, with innovative devices used as sou...

Reflection fiber temperature sensors functionalized with plasmonic nanocomposite material using intensity-based modulation are demonstrated for the first time. Characteristic temperature optical response of the reflective fiber sensor is experimental...

Reinforcement learning (RL) methods for energy saving and greening have recently appeared in the field of autonomous driving. In inter-vehicle communication (IVC), a feasible and increasingly popular research direction of RL is to obtain the optimal...

The present study proposes a new, highly efficient fractal antenna with ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristics. The proposed patch offers a wide simulated operating band that reaches 8.3 GHz, a simulated gain that varies between 2.47 and 7.73 dB throug...

The intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a cutting-edge technology for cost-effectively achieving future spectrum- and energy-efficient wireless communication. In particular, an IRS comprises many low-cost passive devices that can independently re...

Internet of Things (IoT) faces security concerns different from existing challenges in conventional information systems connected through the Internet because of their limited resources and heterogeneous network setups. This work proposes a novel fra...

Pedestrian safety has been evaluated based on the mean number of pedestrian-involved collisions. Traffic conflicts have been used as a data source to supplement collision data because of their higher frequency and lower damage. Currently, the main so...

The activity of muscles during motion in one direction should be symmetrical when compared to the activity of the contralateral muscles during motion in the opposite direction, while symmetrical movements should result in symmetrical muscle activatio...
