This study investigated the synergistic effects of three protein concentrates from legumes (pea, lentil, and lima bean) as emulsifiers and stabilizers of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions using a simplex-centroid mixture design. The aim was to check wheth...

This paper proposes a parameter optimization method for a terminal sliding mode controller (TSMC) based on a multi-strategy improved crayfish algorithm (JLSCOA) to enhance the performance of ship dynamic positioning systems. The TSMC is designed for...

The aim of the present work was to evaluate retrospectively, after seven years of function, the efficacy of a conometric retention to stabilize complete prostheses (CPs) on four implants. Data from twenty-three patients with CPs supported by four imp...

Based on an in-depth analysis of the factors influencing the compressive strength of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), this study examined the impact of both single factorsand combined factors on UHPC performance using experimental data. The co...

This study thoroughly investigates the influence of anisotropy on the formability of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy sheets using advanced techniques such as digital image correlation (DIC) and Marciniak tests. A key finding is the relatively small variation...

Temporary metal implants, made from materials like titanium (Ti) or stainless steel, can cause metabolic issues, raise toxicity levels within the body, and negatively impact the patient’s long-term health. This necessitates a subsequent operati...

Optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) technology has attracted considerable research attention. Studies have achieved numerous breakthroughs in the basic scientific problems, key technologies, demonstration applications, and industrial promotions...

Due to its unique geotechnical properties, loess presents itself as a cost-effective and energy-efficient material for engineering construction, aiding in cost reduction and environmental sustainability. However, to meet engineering specifications, l...

This research paper examines the digital infrastructure required to achieve project management success by analyzing the enabling elements of this digital infrastructure in terms of three pillars: digital readiness, digital fitness, and digital tools....

We present a review of current research on promising flame retardants using specific methods of applying metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to the highly flammable fibrous surface of cotton fabric. In this review, we initially address the reasons...
