This study investigates the role of toroidal vortex formation in torque-flow pumps and its influence on pump performance. A mathematical model of viscous fluid motion in toroidal coordinates was developed to describe the two-stage energy transfer mec...

Asphalt mixtures designed with an elevated air void content are intended to lower traffic noise as well as to improve traffic safety and quality by improving rainwater evacuation through the layer of the surface mixture, not just on top of it. While...

The aim of this research was to examine the antibacterial activity of commercially available silver nanoparticles against foodborne bacteria and to evaluate the properties of pullulan films incorporating these nanoparticles, including their antibacte...

Weld seam detection is a fundamental prerequisite for robotic welding automation, yet it remains challenging due to the elongated shape of welds, weak contrast against metallic backgrounds, and significant environmental interference in industrial sce...

Traffic flow prediction plays a vital role in intelligent transportation systems, directly affecting travel scheduling, road planning, and traffic management efficiency. However, traditional methods often struggle to capture complex spatiotemporal de...

To accurately assess the development potential of a high-speed rail (HSR) express in the logistics system, this study constructs a forecasting method for HSR express volume. Grey relational analysis is used to identify key influencing factors, and a...

Fully grouted rock bolts play a vital role in stabilising underground excavations, particularly in corrosive environments where material properties, geometric configuration, and installation conditions influence their load transfer performance. Altho...

Due to its high-temperature resistance, high thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, excellent chemical stability, and outstanding mechanical and electrochemical properties, graphite has been widely applied in various fields. However, the curr...

The images acquired from near infrared cameras can contain thermal noise, which degrades the quality of the images. The quality of the images obtained from underwater environments suffer from the complex hydrological environment. All these issues mak...

Lithium-ion batteries are essential to electric vehicles, so it is crucial to continuously monitor and control their health. However, since today’s battery packs consist of hundreds or thousands of cells, monitoring all of them is challenging....
