This paper introduces a novel filter algorithm termed as an MKMC-CSVSF which combined square-root cubature Kalman (SR-CKF) and smooth variable structure filtering (SVSF) under multi-kernel maximum correntropy criterion (MKMC) for accurately estimatin...

Antimicrobial susceptibility tests, achieved through the use of antibiotic-impregnated disks in a suitable laboratory environment, are conducted to determine which antibiotics are effective against the bacteria present in the body of an infected pati...

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved promising results in many tasks, and evaluating the model’s generalization ability based on the trained model and training data is paramount for practical applications. Although many measures f...

Jumping robots possess the capability to surmount formidable obstacles and are well-suited for navigating through complex terrain environments. However, most of the existing jumping robots face challenges in achieving stable jumping and they also hav...

This paper investigates the effect of spatial variability of soil elastic modulus on the longitudinal responses of the existing shield tunnel to the new tunnel undercrossing using a random two-stage analysis method (RTSAM). The Timoshenko–Winkl...

Front loaders used in agriculture are characterized by a compact structure, which limits the scope of their application. The loading possibilities are expanded by designing front loaders equipped with telescopic arms. This design increases the loader...

Computer vision solutions have become widely used in various industries and as part of daily solutions. One task of computer vision is object detection. With the development of object detection algorithms and the growing number of various kinds of im...

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), primarily relying on camera or LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors, plays a crucial role in robotics for localization and environmental reconstruction. This paper assesses the performance of two l...

After the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become evident that efficient and secure interoperability of medical information is crucial for effective diagnoses and medical treatments. However, a significant challenge arises concerning the h...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) loaded with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by the arc discharge method and air heat treatment. The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spec...
