Adobe churches are representative of Andean architectural heritage, yet their structural vulnerability to seismic events remains a significant concern. This study evaluates the seismic performance of the 17th-century Church of Santo Tomás de A...

Fatty fish, such as mackerel (Scomber scombrus), are recommended as part of a healthy diet, providing essential fatty acids (FA). Fried fish is appreciated for its attributes, including a crispy texture, golden crust, and pleasant taste. However, fry...

This study investigated the effects of virtual reality (VR)-based training combined with preliminary trunk stabilization education on postural control and balance in stroke patients. A single-blind randomized controlled trial enrolled 30 participants...

Roof water inrush accidents in coal mine driving roadways occur frequently in China, accounting for a high proportion of major coal mine water hazard accidents and causing serious losses. Aiming at the lack of research on the mechanism of roof water...

Real-time bearing fault diagnosis necessitates highly accurate, computationally efficient, and energy-conserving models suitable for deployment on resource-constrained edge devices. To address these demanding requirements, we propose the Spike Convol...

Hand gestures are essential for interaction in augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), allowing users to intuitively manipulate virtual objects and engage with human–machine interfaces (HMIs). Accurate gesture recognition is critical for effecti...

While radiation thermometry is well-developed for laboratory calibrations using high-emissivity sources, the effect of spectral emissivity in real-world conditions, where emissivity ranges from 0 to 1, is usually not considered. Spectral parameters t...

Background: Falls are a major public health concern among older adults, often resulting in injury, functional decline, and reduced quality of life. While handgrip strength (HGS), fall efficacy, and balance confidence have individually been associated...

The energy consumption of current vertical-lifting underwater monitoring devices mainly falls into two categories: one fully supplied by battery packs; and the other partially by battery packs, with the rest from ocean thermal energy. Constrained by...

Current risk assessment in railway track maintenance operations faces challenges (low spatiotemporal accuracy, limited adaptability to various scenarios, and tendency of linear fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) methods to underestimate high-risk f...
