Waste management is one of most important challenges in environmental protection. Much effort is put into the development of waste treatment methods for further use. A serious problem is the treatment of municipal sewage sludge. One method that is us...

This paper designed a voice interactive robot system that can conveniently execute assigned service tasks in real-life scenarios. It is equipped without a microphone where users can control the robot with spoken commands; the voice commands are then...

Nodal rotations are produced by bending and shear effects and bending rotations can be easily calculated using Euler–Bernoulli’s stiffness matrix method. Nevertheless, shear rotations are traditionally neglected, as their effects are prac...

The aim of this study is to assess the consistency in the modelling of thermo-hydraulic problems in clay-based engineered barriers. This study focuses on two aspects: the modelling of vapour pressure as a function of temperature, and the specific hea...

Edible crayfish are an object of local fishing and artificial breeding in many countries. This industry is very promising in terms of production of healthy foods and byproducts, such as biologically active polyaminosaccharide—chitosan and its d...

The aim of this study was to evaluate dehydrated sauerkraut juice (DSJ) in bread and meat applications and investigate bioaccessibility (BAC) of TPC in the analyzed products. In current research, sauerkraut juice, dehydrated sauerkraut juice, and bre...

The open-water training conditions in sailing sports limit the coach’s ability to provide instructions. Auditory feedback provided using a smartphone application in real-time seems to be a promising tool in the training process. The aim of the...

High-damping rubber (HDR) dampers have the advantages of convenience for various shapes of pressure blocks, aesthetic installation, easy maintenance, temperature stability, etc.; thus, they present good application prospects in the vibration reductio...

Aerostatic bearings are considered crucial components that can improve the measurement accuracy of ground simulation tests of space equipment. A structural optimization design method is proposed to enhance the static performance of aerostatic bearing...

In medical texts, temporal information describes events and changes in status, such as medical visits and discharges. According to the semantic features, it is classified into simple time and complex time. The current research on time recognition usu...
