The stereotype that children who are more able solve tasks quicker than their less capable peers exists both in and outside education. The F > C phenomenon and the distance–difficulty hypothesis offer alternative explanations of the time needed to...
Exploration rovers have difficulty moving underground because the drag force from the ground restricts their movement; this hinders underground exploration. This study aimed to address this challenge. We posit a hypothesis that the rover can move und...
Figural matrices are widely used to measure reasoning ability. According to the two-process model of figural matrix reasoning, task performance relies on correspondence finding (linked to induction ability) and goal management (linked to working memo...
An experiment was performed to investigate the movement time (MT) and subjective rating of difficulty for real and virtual pipe transferring tasks. Thirty adults joined as human participants. The HoloPipes app in a Microsoft® Hololens 2 augmented...
In ground-based bearing-only tracking of multiple maneuvering targets, there are difficulties in data association due to the reliance solely on azimuth information, making it challenging to distinguish and identify multiple targets. This problem is p...
Facing the threat of SARS-CoV-2, several countries implemented protective measures to annihilate the waves of the pandemic. Apart from quarantine, social distancing, frequent disinfection, and the use of a face mask, vaccination against COVID-19 soon...

In March 2020, the French government implemented nation-wide measures to reduce social contact and slow the progression of the emerging coronavirus responsible for COVID-19, the most significant being a complete home lockdown that lasted 8 weeks. Reu...
Flash floods need to be monitored from a safe place, ideally with noncontact instruments installed at a riverbank and oriented so that they look obliquely at the water surface. The “inclined Lidar” technique could be useful for this purpose. It works...
Nb3Sn plays an irreplaceable role in superconducting parts due to its stable performance under high field conditions. Accurate phase equilibria and interdiffusion coefficients are of great significance for designing novel Nb3Sn superconductors. Howev...
Ecological communities change because of both natural and human factors. Distinguishing between the two is critical to ecology and conservation science. One of the most common approaches for modelling species composition changes is calculating beta d...
