To advance commercialisation of ocean wave energy and for the technology to become competitive with other sources of renewable energy, the cost of wave energy harvesting should be significantly reduced. The Mediterranean Sea is a region with a relati...
Navigation relayed by multiple stations (NRMS) is a promising technique that can significantly extend the operational range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and hence facilitate the execution of long-range tasks. However, NRMS employs multiple exte...
With the global net-zero strategy implementation, decarbonisation of transport by massive deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) has been considered to be an essential solution. However, charging EVs and integration into electricity grids is going to...
To address voltage violation issues in active distribution networks, this paper proposes a reactive power optimal configuration method that considers the dynamic voltage regulation strategy of a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). First, an ada...
In construction project management, accurate cost forecasting is critical for ensuring informed decision making. In this article, a construction cost prediction method based on an improved bidirectional long- and short-term memory (BiLSTM) network is...
The turbine tip geometry can significantly alter the performance of the turbine stage; its design represents a challenge for a variety of reasons. Multiple disciplines are involved in its design and their requirements limit the creativity of the desi...
The city of Kinshasa faces severe traffic congestion, requiring strategic enhancements to its transport infrastructure capacity. Although a comprehensive transport master plan has been proposed by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA)...
Total knee replacement has become a viable option for treating severe knee arthritis. The demand for more kinematically functional implants that better replicate natural knee kinematics led to the development of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), includi...
Purpose: Hypoxia has been linked to radioresistance. Strategies to safely dose escalate dominant intraprostatic lesions have shown promising results, but further dose escalation to overcome the effects of hypoxia require a novel approach to constrain...
Load disaggregation for the identification of specific load types in the total demands (e.g., demand-manageable loads, such as heating or cooling loads) is becoming increasingly important for the operation of existing and future power supply systems....
Component ratios and kinetics are key to understanding and optimising novel formulations. This warrants investigation of valid methods. Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infra-Red (ATR)-FTIR spectra of separate primers/adhesives were mod...
Vehicle detection under low-light conditions is a critical component of visual perception for Level 3+ autonomous vehicles. Under low-light conditions, existing detection methods are unable to simultaneously enhance illumination in dark areas and sup...
A method has been developed, optimised and validated to analyse protein powder supplements on an inductively coupled plasma-sector field mass spectrometer (ICP-SFMS), with reference to ICH Guideline Q2 Validation of Analytical Procedures: Text and Me...
