The measurement of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of field maize at a plot-sized scale is of great significance for assessing carbon emissions. Chamber methods remain the sole approach for measuring NEE at a plot-sized scale. However, traditional chamb...
Existing indoor closed ultraviolet-C (UVC) air purifiers (UVC in a box) have faced technological challenges during the COVID-19 breakout, owing to demands of low energy consumption, high flow rates, and high kill rates at the same time. A new concept...
A textured surface topography can be used to improve the lubrication performance of bearings. These improvements are closely related to the design of the textured topography. Therefore, studying the effect of the textured topography of rolling bearin...
Laser technology is being widely studied for controlled energy deposition for a range of applications, including flow control, ignition, combustion, and diagnostics. The absorption and scattering of laser radiation by liquid droplets in aerosols affe...
The scientific community is showing growing interest in pulsed combustion technology due to its superior efficiency, environmental advantages, and diverse applications. Nevertheless, despite its promise, this technology remains underexplored because...
The development of a capnometry wristband is of great interest for monitoring patients at home. We consider a new architecture in which a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) optical measurement is located close to the skin surface and is combined with an...
Researchers have increasingly focused on thermal comfort, examining both individuals’ thermal sensations and the percentage of people dissatisfied with the thermal environment. Most studies rely on the widely used PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) mode...
Common-rail fuel injection systems are still a good option for equipping new car models. The technology is well known, systems of this type are reliable and can be used on a wide variety of diesel and petrol engines. However, there is still room for...
Organ-on-Chip technology is commonly used as a tool to replace animal testing in drug development. Cells or tissues are cultured on a microchip to replicate organ-level functions, where measurements of the electrical activity can be taken to understa...
Natural source zone depletion (NSZD) is an emerging technique for sustainable and cost-effective bioremediation of light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) in oil spill sites. Depending on regulatory objectives, NSZD has the potential to be used as eit...
Remote sensing is a non-contact, long-distance detection technology. The reflection characteristics of a seismic wave can be used to detect remote and non-contact targets. Based on the reflection characteristics of a seismic wave, the underground str...
Reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) is a promising new combustion technology for marine applications. It has offered the potential to achieve low NOx emissions and high thermal efficiency, which are both important considerations for mar...
Stochastic self-assembly provides promising means for building micro-/nano-structures with a variety of properties and functionalities. Numerous studies have been conducted on the control and modeling of the process in engineered self-assembling syst...
Recent advances in space-based heliospheric observations, laboratory experimentation, and plasma simulation codes are creating an exciting new cross-disciplinary opportunity for understanding fast energy release and transport mechanisms in heliophysi...
