Visual acuity (VA) is a measure of the ability to distinguish shapes and details of objects at a given distance and is a measure of the spatial resolution of the visual system. Vision is one of the basic health indicators closely related to a person&...

Distribution system state estimation (DSSE) is a valuable step for DSOs toward tackling the challenges of transitioning to a more sustainable energy system and the evolution and proliferation of electric cars and power electronic devices. However, on...

This article studies the enhancement of methyl orange (MO) adsorption by Mongolian montmorillonite (MMt) modified by the intercalation of the Keggin Al13 complex, followed by calcination during the pillaring process. The properties of MMt, Al-interca...

Recent years have witnessed a paradigm shift from centralized cloud computing to decentralized edge computing. As a key enabler technique in edge computing, computation offloading migrates computation-intensive tasks from resource-limited devices to...

Over the last decade, e-learning and the use of digital tools have received a great boost in higher education. This paper presents a content curation methodology to assess the acquisition of specific content and soft skills during the attainment of a...

Today, low-cost sensors in various civil engineering sectors are gaining the attention of researchers due to their reduced production cost and their applicability to multiple nodes. Low-cost sensors also have the advantage of easily connecting to low...

Intelligent materials, especially materials with shape memory, are an important discovery, with technical applications in the medical and aerospace field, among others, which led to the development of systems and applications with multiple advantages...

The objective of the present research was to study the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties, failure mode and uniaxial compression constitutive relationship of a modified polyurethane concrete. A total of 24 cube and 27 prism specimens...

The presented article is a review of the literature reports on the influence of magnetic and electric fields on the growth, yield, ripening, and durability of fruits and their quality. The article shows the potential application of MF and EF in agric...

Robot automatic assembly of weak stiffness parts is difficult due to potential deformation during assembly. The robot manipulation cannot adapt to the dynamic contact changes during the assembly process. A robot assembly skill learning system is desi...
