This article presents a circular polarized enclosed dielectric resonator antenna (DRA), operating at 5.8 GHz. The design consists of a twist DRA, which is enclosed in a box to give stability to the structure. The circular polarization of the antenna...

Thurstonian scaling, i.e., Thurstonian discriminal distance δ or d′, can be used as a sensory measurement index to measure and monitor food sensory difference/similarity between test and control samples due to potential food contamination...

This study was inspired by an emerging trend in contemporary cities: the transformation of trams into mobile spaces for recreation, education, and work. Despite the growing popularity of this concept, which is linked to the search for more sustainabl...

IMUs (inertial measurement units) and cameras are widely utilized and combined to autonomously measure the motion states of mobile robots. This paper presents a loosely coupled algorithm for autonomous localization, the ICEKF (IMU-aided camera extend...

With the increasing demand for pork, improving pig health and welfare management productivity has become a priority. However, it is impractical for humans to manually monitor all pigsties in commercial-scale pig farms, highlighting the need for autom...

The agricultural sector is currently facing problems including a decline in the agricultural population, labor shortages, and an aging population. To solve these problems and increase agricultural productivity, the development and distribution of aut...

Understanding the dynamics of soil water content (SWC) is essential for effective land management, particularly in regions affected by underground mining. This study investigates the spatial and temporal patterns of SWC and its interaction with topog...

Nigella sativa L. (generally known as black cumin) is a medicinal plant prized for its therapeutic and nutritional benefits. Its seed oil is used extensively in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and cooking. However, extracting oil to satis...

GenAI tools like ChatGPT have changed the educational landscape, and empirical experiences are needed to better understand how to use them to their fullest potential. This article empirically explores the usage of ChatGPT 3.5 in database administrati...
