In order to improve the prediction accuracy of the machine learning model for concrete fatigue life using small datasets, a group calculation and random weight dynamic time warping barycentric averaging (GRW-DBA) data augmentation method is proposed....

Orthognathic surgery is a procedure used to correct intermaxillary discrepancies, thus promoting significant improvements in chewing and breathing. During the surgical planning stage, orthodontists often use two-dimensional imaging techniques. The as...

Gas–liquid two-phase flow is very common in industrial pipelines. Flow regime identification is the first step to design, analyze, and operate the gas–liquid system successfully. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for i...

To study the mechanical damage characteristics of rock under the effect of subversion, a series of mechanical experiments, including both uniaxial and triaxial mechanical compression experiments under various levels of water content were performed. I...

Modeling the nonlinearity of a system is of primary importance both for optimizing its design and for controlling the behavior of physical systems operating with a wide dynamic range of input values, for which the linearity hypothesis may not be suff...

The monitoring and evaluation of air quality is a topic of great global interest as, with the decline of air quality, there are negative effects on human health and ecosystems. Thus, the purpose of this paper was to evaluate the air quality over 11 y...

Cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitoring is crucial for patients with cardiovascular disease and hypertension. However, conventional BP monitors provide only single-point estimates without confidence intervals. Therefore, the statistical variability i...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common pathology among disorders of the peripheral nervous system related to median nerve compression. To our knowledge, there are limited data on the effect of tendon movement on median nerve compression. Thi...

Due to the barely resonant earthed system used in the transmission line, it is more challenging to identify faults at a 66 kV voltage level because of insufficient fault identification techniques. In this paper, a 66 kV transmission line fault identi...

Due to recent advances in communication systems, dielectric and magnetic ceramics (ferrites) are attractive for use in devices. Spinel-type ferrites were the first material utilized in microwave devices; however, yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has low die...
