This contribution is focused on the presentation of individual research results aimed at evaluating the socio-economic impacts associated with increasing the safety and reliability of the railway transport route. The goal of the research is to propos...

Multimodal optimization presents a significant challenge in optimization problems due to the existence of multiple attraction basins. Balancing exploration and exploitation is essential for the efficiency of algorithms designed to solve these problem...

The increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber threats necessitate the development of advanced techniques for detecting and mitigating attacks. This paper introduces a novel cybersecurity-focused Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) trainer that utiliz...

Shell–tube heat exchangers are commonly used equipment in large-scale industrial systems of wastewater heat exchange to reclaim the thermal energy generated during industrial processes. However, the internal surfaces of the heat exchanger tubes...

With the passage of time, the constant changes in relevant factors, and the daily maintenance of tailings ponds, the difficulty of tailings pond safety management is increasing day by day. In order to systematically improve the early warning ability...

Visual servoing technology is well developed and applied in many automated manufacturing tasks, especially in tools’ pose alignment. To access a full global view of tools, most applications adopt an eye-to-hand configuration or an eye-to-hand/e...

A metamaterial-based non-uniform dipole array antenna is presented for high gain 5G millimeter-wave applications with a wideband characteristic. Initially, a non-uniform dipole array is designed on a 0.202 mm thick Rogers RO4003C substrate, offering...

Lignocellulosic waste materials are among the most abundant raw materials on Earth, and they have been widely studied as natural additives in materials, especially for polymer composites, with interesting results when it comes to improving physiochem...

In this paper, a quartz glass with low hydroxyl groups was prepared by combining the advantages of various processes, using a plasma heat source as the flame and high-purity quartz sand as the raw material. The purity of the quartz sand was 99.997%....

Apple core browning not only affects the nutritional quality of apples, but also poses a health risk to consumers. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fast and reliable non-destructive detection method for apple core browning. To deal wit...
