Penetration testing is an important method to evaluate the security degree of a network system. The importance of penetration testing attack path planning lies in its ability to simulate attacker behavior, identify vulnerabilities, reduce potential l...

The shoulder is a unique and complex joint in the human body with three bones and four joints, which makes it the most unstable joint in the body due to the amount of motion. To improve approaches toward understanding the performance of overhead thro...

With the growing demand for transportation, there has been a significant increase in road-related projects, leading to potential risks in the safety of existing structures. This paper presents a study on the influence of new tunnel construction on th...

We present a linear optical protocol for teleporting and correcting both temporal and frequency errors in two time–frequency qubit states. The first state is the frequency (or time-of-arrival) cat qubit, which is a single photon in a superposit...

Harnessing commonsense knowledge poses a significant challenge for machine comprehension systems. This paper primarily focuses on incorporating a specific subset of commonsense knowledge, namely, script knowledge. Script knowledge is about sequences...

According to a previous study, a concrete bridge bearing vehicles traveling at lower speeds suffers from more severe apparent damage compared to one bearing vehicles traveling at higher speeds. The authors of the study subjectively inferred that the...

Basement excavation may induce deformations of the adjacent tunnels. The response of existing tunnels to basement excavation considering the critical unloading ratio is rarely studied. In this study, a three-dimensional numerical model is established...

This work addresses the dynamic modeling of a negative stiffness absorber consisting of an assembly of curved beams. Design rules are derived from the orders of magnitude of stiffness and elastic energy stored by the negative stiffness elements. Alth...

Issue reports are valuable resources for the continuous maintenance and improvement of software. Managing issue reports requires a significant effort from developers. To address this problem, many researchers have proposed automated techniques for cl...

The process of debittering table olives, known as “natural”, represents the most studied method for its peculiarities. Searching among other studies, very little evidence was found about “outside the lab” tests; this encourage...
