The nonlinearity of a mechanical oscillator may lead to the generation of the macroscopic quantum states, which are useful for precision measurement. Measuring the nonlinearity of a mechanical oscillator becomes important in order to effectively asse...

Acoustic metamaterials have proven to be a versatile tool for the precise control and manipulation of sound waves. One of the promising designs of acoustic metamaterials employ the arrays of bubbles and find applications for soundproofing, blast miti...

The paper presents the method of using vision techniques and artificial neural networks to assess the degree of contamination of cereal during grain reception. The aim of the work is to optimize the management of the contaminant evaluation process of...

Advanced deep reinforcement learning shows promise as an approach to addressing continuous control tasks, especially in mixed-autonomy traffic. In this study, we present a deep reinforcement-learning-based model that considers the effectiveness of le...

Ammonia preparation from urea-water solutions is a key feature to ensure an effective reduction of nitrogen oxides in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. Thereby, air-assisted nozzles provide fine sprays, which enhance ammonia homogenization...

In this paper, we propose an analytic solution of state-constrained optimal tracking control problems for continuous-time linear time-invariant (CT-LTI) systems that are based on model-based prediction, the quadratic penalty function, and the variati...

In this paper a Weibull methodology to determine the probabilistic percentiles for the S-N curve of the A572 Gr. 50 steel is formulated. The given Weibull/S-N formulation is based on the true stress and true strain values, which are both determined f...

Hyperspectral imaging is a multidimensional optical technique with the potential of providing fast and accurate tissue classification. The main challenge is the adequate processing of the multidimensional information usually linked to long processing...

The dependence of the Purcell factor on nanowire metamaterial geometry was analyzed. Calculations made about the Purcell factor in realistic composites, operating at an optical spectral range, are provided. We applied a metamaterial, aiming to mitiga...

Simultaneous activation of multiphotonic absorption and nonlinear optical refraction were employed for developing a multipath load balancing technique assisted by light and zinc oxide nanostructures. Data storage as the real and imaginary part of the...
