Renewable energy resources have become extremely important in the current context of air pollution and the production of significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. One of the most important renewable energy sou...

Efficient truck–shovel allocation is essential for optimizing open-pit mining operations, but the integration of heterogeneous diesel and electric fleets introduces complex scheduling challenges, including charging requirements, range limitatio...

This paper presents a control framework for multi-unmanned aerial vehicle systems that achieves safe and cooperative navigation in complex environments through a unified collision avoidance and trajectory guidance strategy. The principal innovation l...

The effects of pectin extraction, cellulose purification, and sonication on the juice extraction residue from grapefruit were investigated. Pectin extraction using pressurized carbon dioxide (pCO2) in a sodium oxalate solution (U-OX) lowered the cell...

With the development of distributed energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power, power grids have imposed increasingly higher requirements on power quality. As common nonlinear loads in power grids, multi-pulse rectifiers (MPRs) inject signifi...

An Ultrasonic Test (UT), a type of non-destructive test, is used to inspect the manufacturing integrity of carbon spar-caps of wind blades. When performing a UT, an intermediate medium is used to improve the signal detection ability between the inspe...

This paper aims to present the development, challenges, and obstacles faced when creating two reduced complexity utility applications for Android mobile devices. The purpose of this paper is to present the challenges behind the development of these a...

One of the key problems humanity faces in this age of profound digitalization is globalization-related threats, which no longer affect just one country but pose a threat to a very large area, encompassing several or even a dozen countries, or, in the...

In the Ordos Basin, the lengths of cores are disproportionate to image logging data (1:9) and fracture research is difficult because of their complex lithology and fracture patterns. Based on the characteristics of conventional logging and cores, thi...

As product complexity and customization levels continue to rise in high-end manufacturing, optimizing and controlling multistage manufacturing processes (MMPs) presents growing challenges. However, existing MMP research has largely focused on optimiz...
