Consuming fruits and vegetables necessitates discarding the inedible parts, which raises issues such as waste management and contamination of the environment. Numerous studies have been conducted in recent years in an effort to identify alternatives...

The digital integrated circuit (IC) testing model module is applied in this study to simulate the fabrication and testing of integrated circuits. The yield and quality of ICs are analyzed by assuming that the wafer devices under test conditions are n...

Hoof and leg problems in racehorses can cause serious injuries and decrease their value. Although therapeutic shoeing using special horseshoes can increase the effectiveness of veterinary care, it is labor-intensive and burdensome for farriers. A thr...

Previous studies have demonstrated that the inclusion of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) enhances the damping, ductility, and toughness of concrete mixtures. The effectiveness of tire-derived aggregate as a ductile material with a higher damping ratio a...

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process of directly recovering energy as combustible gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide by combusting unmined coal resources in situ. The UCG process is an invisible phenomenon, in which fracturing a...

Collaborative robots have experienced low acceptance in applications, especially in industry. This fact has attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners, who point to different causes for this limited acceptance. One of the main reasons i...

According to 2013/59/Euratom Directive, the activity concentration index (ACI) is required to be estimated for each building material that is of concern from a radiation protection point of view. This index applies to building materials and not to co...

The phenomenon of snap-off during imbibition in porous media, a fundamental two-phase fluid flow phenomenon, plays a crucial role in both crude oil production and carbon dioxide (CO₂) utilization and storage. In porous media where two phases coexist,...

Concurrent engineering through overlapping of activities (i.e., fast-tracking) has been used as a schedule acceleration technique. Fast-track construction projects are generally recognized as riskier and subject to risks arising due to the concurrenc...

In this paper, we provide a brief overview of certain fundamental concepts which can be used to derive constitutive relations for the stress tensor of granular materials. These include concepts such as dilatancy, cohesion, yield criterion, shear band...

Permanent magnet motors have become very important in recent years due to the popularization of electric vehicles in the context of the efforts to transition to zero-emission transportation. This has encouraged researchers and hobbyists to learn abou...

Due to the importance of optimizing the manufacture of ceramic pigments, motivated by the increase in prices of both raw materials and energy, and the need to control manufacturing parameters to obtain optimal conditions for the preparation of cerami...

Clay minerals are widely used to treat groundwater and surface water containing radionuclides. In our study, the method of mechanochemical activation for increasing the sorption capacity of the natural clay mineral montmorillonite was used. By adjust...

Graphene-based materials have great potential for tribological applications. Graphene’s unique properties such as low shear resistance, high stiffness, and thermal conductivity make it an attractive material for improving the properties of lubr...

Material extrusion is a popular additive manufacturing technology due to its low cost, wide market availability, ability to construct complex parts, safety, and cleanliness. However, optimizing the process parameters to obtain the best possible mecha...

Infrastructure development requires various considerations to maintain its continuity. Some public facilities cannot survive due to human indifference and irresponsible actions. Unfortunately, the government has to spend a lot of money, effort, and t...

The rapid development of information and communication technologies and the widespread use of the Internet has made it imperative to implement advanced user authentication methods based on the analysis of behavioural biometric data. In contrast to tr...

The objectives of the study are to reveal the influence of multistage fuel-oxidation chemistry, thermal radiation of soot during the combustion of a small (submillimeter size) fuel droplet, and real gas effects on the operation process of compression...

This paper proposes an optimized mobile robot navigation strategy using a functional firefly algorithm (FFA) and choice function. This approach has two key advantages: first, the linear objective function performs efficiently with the single degree a...

Groundwater pollution is a current issue that may result in considerable negative effects on human health and the ecological balance. In the present study, the authors evaluated pollutants in groundwater in Maricá Municipality, located on the...

A compliance-based method for the determination of fatigue design curves for elastomeric adhesive joints is developed and validated. Fatigue experiments are conducted on elastomeric adhesives (a polyurethane and a silane-modified polymer) under diffe...

Compressible flow models are commonly used for describing air flow through pneumatic valves. Because of the difficulties in predicting viscous losses, these models ultimately rely on experimental determination of coefficients. Different equations hav...

The measurement of acoustic fields generated by ultrasonic transducers is important for determining the focal length, lateral resolution, and amplitudes of the lateral and grating lobes. The acoustic field is commonly characterized by a set of scans...

Buildings account for a significant amount of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Electricity and fossil fuels are currently the primary sources of energy used for cooling and heating buildings, depending on the climate and loc...

Airbags are important safety devices in modern vehicles. However, their effectiveness is linked to the occupants being seated in standard positions. Although autonomous vehicles are less accident-prone, they are also equipped with airbags, similar to...

Background: Oral frailty is associated with systemic frailty. The vertical position of the hyoid bone is important when considering the risk of dysphagia. However, dentists usually do not focus on this position. Purpose: To create an AI model for det...
