THz-Time domain spectroscopic imaging is demonstrated combining a robotic scanning method with continuous signal acquisition and holographic reconstruction of the object to improve the imaging resolution. We apply the method to a metallic Siemens sta...

Cycling—as a sustainable and convenient exercise and travel mode—has become increasingly popular in modern cities. In recent years, with the proliferation of sport apps and GPS mobile devices in daily life, the accumulated cycling traject...

The advent of connected vehicle (CV) technology offers new possibilities for a revolution in future transportation systems. With the availability of real-time traffic data from CVs, it is possible to more effectively optimize traffic signals to reduc...

Because of the strategic importance of the Abydos archaeological site in Egypt as a source of wealth for Egyptian tourism, this study was concerned with carrying out geophysical measurements to detect subsurface succession and measure variations in t...

Energy efficiency financing is considered among the top priorities in the energy sector among several stakeholders. In this context, accurately estimating the energy savings achieved by energy efficiency actions before being approved and implemented...

In order to better utilize and protect marine organisms, reliable underwater object detection methods need to be developed. Due to various influencing factors from complex and changeable underwater environments, the underwater object detection is ful...

This paper proposes a new hybrid algorithm for grey wolf optimization (GWO) integrated with a robust learning mechanism to solve the large-scale economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. The robust learning grey wolf optimization (RLGWO) algorithm imitat...

Groundwater level (GWL) refers to the depth of the water table or the level of water below the Earth’s surface in underground formations. It is an important factor in managing and sustaining the groundwater resources that are used for drinking...

The development of adaptive and intelligent clamping devices allows for the reduction of rejects and defects based on weld discontinuities in laser-beam welding. The utilization of fixture-integrated sensors and actuators is a new approach, realizing...

Energy harvesting is a promising technique for supplying low-power devices as an alternative to conventional batteries. Energy harvesters can be integrated into Autonomous Internet of Things (AIoT) systems to create a wireless network of sensor nodes...
