With the development of electrification and intelligence, the electromagnetic environment of intelligent and electric vehicles becomes complicated and critical because of the high voltage/current of power components, the computation units with high f...

Driver fatigue can be manifested by various highly dangerous direct and indirect symptoms, for example, inattention or lack of concentration. The aim of the study was to compare the behavior of young drivers, older drivers and professional drivers, p...

This study was performed to investigate the influence of pre-etching area and functional monomers in orthodontic adhesive pastes on enamel bond strength. Bovine enamel was partially pre-etched with phosphoric acid for 30 s over areas with a diameter...

In this work, Ce doped MgAl-LDHs layers have been developed through an in-situ synthesis method on 6082 aluminum surface. The aim was to gain mechanistic insight into the role of Ce(III) as an active corrosion inhibitor embedded in the LDHs layer. Th...

While the cloth component in Unity engine has been used to represent the 3D cloth object for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), it has several limitations in term of resolution and performance. The purpose of our research is to develop...

Despite developments and advances in dental materials which allow for greater restorative performance, there are still challenges and questions regarding the formulation of new compositions and chemical reactions of materials used in restorative dent...

This study introduces a multiple-input convolutional neural network (MI-CNN) model for the seismic damage assessment of regional buildings. First, ground motion sequences together with building attribute data are adopted as inputs of the proposed MI-...

This study aims to evaluate five different methodologies reported in the literature for developing fragility curves to assess the seismic performance of RC structures subjected to structural pounding. In this context, displacement-based and curvature...

Given the consolidated circulation of Aethina tumida (SHB) in Reggio Calabria and Vibo Valentia provinces of Calabria region (Southern Italy), the need for a more effective and less time-consuming approach to SHB surveillance emerged. Accordingly, ho...

This study investigated the effects of a dual-purpose inoculant (DPI) on the fermentation profile, nutritive value, and aerobic stability of silage. The inoculant effect was first examined with minisilos, and the results were later validated with 400...
