With increasing energy demands and depleting oil accessibility in reservoirs, the investigation of more effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods for deep and tight reservoirs is imminent. This study investigates a novel hybrid EOR method, a syne...

High slopes with multi-layer weak interlayers are a type of special slope that tends to fail due to the unfavorable mechanical properties of interlayers. In this study, the influence of the position, length, diameter, and ratio of on-center spacing t...

The utilization of contemporary technology enhances the efficiency of parking resource management, contributing to more liveable and sustainable cities. In response to the growing challenges of urbanization, intelligent parking systems have emerged a...

With the flourishing of social media platforms, data in social networks, especially user-generated content, are growing rapidly, which makes it hard for users to select relevant content from the overloaded data. Recommender systems are thus developed...

The motion state of the friction plate in a wet friction clutch is investigated by analyzing the causes of friction coefficient formation. This study establishes static and dynamic friction coefficient models for the friction plate based on a fractal...

(1) Background: Completion of the full oral health course of care (CoC) is essential to prevent further deterioration of oral and overall health. Understanding these patterns, particularly in public oral healthcare services, is crucial for improving...

A backfill system in underground mines supports the walls and roofs of mined-out areas and improves the structural integrity of mines. However, there has been a significant gap in the visualization and monitoring of the backfill progress. To better o...

Intelligent mining risk assessment (MIRA) is a vital approach for enhancing safety and operational efficiency in mining. In this study, we introduce MIRA-ChatGLM, which leverages pre-trained large language models (LLMs) for the domain of gas risk ass...

This study explores the factors influencing turn-taking coordination in virtual reality (VR) environments, with a focus on identifying key interaction dynamics that affect the ease of gaining speaking opportunities. By analyzing VR interaction data t...

This study proposes a platinum catalytic plate burner with a clover-shaped microchannel design to reduce the maximum temperature difference (ΔTmax) and improve long-term hydrogen production (HP) performance in an autothermal methanol steam refo...
