This study presents a significant advancement in LED interior lighting through the development and application of Asymmetric Lens–Total Internal Reflection (AL–TIR) optics, with a focus on enhancing lighting uniformity and indoor comfort...

The staggered grid finite difference method has emerged as one of the most commonly used approaches in finite difference methodologies due to its high computational accuracy and stability. Inevitably, discretizing over time and space domains in finit...

In recent years, tunnel-boring machines (TBMs) have been widely applied in deep coal mining. Turning is an inevitable challenge in TBM tunneling, and a TBM turning roadway exhibits greater instability than a straight roadway, as engineering experienc...

This study investigates the evolution of online assessment practices through Moodle, a leading Learning Management System (LMS). It explores Moodle’s array of question types alongside the transformative impact of FastTest PlugIn (FTP) on educat...

Pb-contaminated soil poses inherent risks for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, few reports have investigated the distribution of lead resistance genes (LRGs), particularly their role in ARGs dynamics during Pb-contaminated s...

Conical diffusers are widely used in technical devices (gasifiers, turbines, combustion chambers) and technological processes (ejectors, mixers, renewable energy). The perfection of flow gas dynamics in a conical diffuser affects the intensity of hea...

Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has demonstrated significant potential in enabling cooperative agents. The communication protocol, which is responsible for message exchange between agents, is crucial in cooperation. However, communicative M...

Electrocardiographic (ECG) R-peak detection is essential for every sensor-based cardiovascular health monitoring system. To validate R-peak detectors, comparing the predicted results with reference annotations is crucial. This comparison is typically...

Metabolic diseases are significant diseases that affect the welfare, health, and production of small ruminant flocks raised for dairy and meat purposes. In breeding females, they mainly occur from six to eight weeks before and after parturition, resp...

Software is used in diverse settings and depends on development and testing environments. Software development should improve the reliability, quality, cost, and stability of software, making the software testing period crucial. We proposed a softwar...
