Nomex honeycomb composites are used extensively in aerospace, automotive, and other industries due to their superior material properties. However, the tool wear during their machining can compromise the processing accuracy and the stability of the wh...

Renewable energies play an important role as a solution to the challenge of satisfying the growing global energy demand without jeopardizing the achievements in the fight against climate change. Given this panorama, different countries, including Spa...

To improve the quality of a part manufactured by the additive method, it is necessary to eliminate the porosity and high roughness of its surface, as well as to deposit a coating on it. For this purpose, in the present work, we studied the combined p...

The warehousing industry is faced with increasing customer demands and growing global competition. A major factor in the efficient operation of warehouses is the strategic storage location assignment of arriving goods, termed the dynamic storage loca...

The presented article deals with research on the dependence between road vehicle fuel consumption and the longitudinal height profile of the road. The main research goal is to investigate the difference in fuel consumption during acceleration on diff...

Manhole covers must provide adequate strength and durability over the intended service life. In addition to operating loads, the lifespan of cast-iron manhole covers is strongly influenced by the conditions of installation and cover placement after o...

The legislation at the EU level is decisive in developing the local flexibility market. At the current stage, there are far-from-sufficient regulations on the local flexibility market, which can be perceived as a major barrier. The scope of this arti...

There is an increasing need to provide explainability for machine learning models. There are different alternatives to provide explainability, for example, local and global methods. One of the approaches is based on Shapley values. Privacy is another...

The development of autonomous vehicles and the integration of new information and communication technologies are making the reliability of electrical systems and components in modern vehicles increasingly important. Electrical connectors are a crucia...

Depression is a serious mood disorder that is under-recognized and under-treated. Recent advances in mobile/wearable technology and ML (machine learning) have provided opportunities to detect the depressed moods of participants in their daily lives w...

Health analytics frequently involve tasks to predict outcomes of care. A foundational predictor of clinical outcomes is the medical diagnosis (Dx). The most used expression of medical Dx is the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10-CM). Si...

Electrical signals are generated and transmitted through plants in response to stimuli caused by external environment factors, such as touching, luminosity, and leaf burning. By analyzing a specific plant’s electrical responses, it is possible...

In this study, we reviewed aircraft accidents in order to understand how autonomy and safety has been managed in the aviation industry, with the aim of transferring our findings to autonomous cyber-physical systems (CPSs) in general. Through the qual...

Paediatric wrist fractures are commonly seen injuries at emergency departments. Around 50% of the X-rays taken to identify these injuries indicate no fracture. The aim of this study was to develop a model using infrared thermal imaging (IRTI) data an...

Friction stir welding (FSW) of titanium alloy was carried out using liquid cooling of the FSW tool made of heat-resistant nickel superalloy. Cooling of the nickel superalloy tool was performed by means of circulating water inside the tool. The FSW jo...

The importance of learning from experience is incontrovertible; however, little is studied regarding the digitalization of in- and inter-project lessons learned in modern organizational practices. As a critical part of organizational knowledge, lesso...

Aluminum-based ceramics are used in industry to produce cutting tools that resist extreme mechanical and thermal load conditions during the machining of Ni-based and high-entropy alloys. There is wide field of application also in the aerospace indust...

The modelling of trust values on agents is broadly considered fundamental for decision-making in human-autonomous teaming (HAT) systems. Compared to the evaluation of trust values for robotic agents, estimating human trust is more challenging due to...

Solar powering the increasing fleet of electrical vehicles (EV) demands more surface area than may be available for photovoltaic (PV)-powered buildings. Parking lot solar canopies can provide the needed area to charge EVs but are substantially costli...

In this paper, a modular multi-input, single output DC/DC converter is proposed to enhance the energy management of a fast-charging station for electric vehicles (EVs). The proposed bidirectional converter can work in different modes of operation wit...

Perovskite photovoltaic devices added with tin (Sn) dichloride and copper (Cu) bromide were fabricated and characterized. The thin film devices were prepared by an ordinary spin-coating technique using an air blowing method in ambient air. A decaphen...

Degradation of a catalyst layer in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is considered, which is caused by electrochemical reactions of the platinum ion dissolution and oxide coverage. An accelerated stress test is applied, where the electric poten...

Nudging provides a way to gently influence people to change behavior towards a desired goal, e.g., by moving towards a healthier or more environmentally friendly lifestyle. Personalized and context-aware digital nudging (named smart nudging) can be a...
