An atypical face gear pair with complex transmission motion can be used in intermittent reciprocating mechanisms with more precise transmission and a much higher capacity than conventional mechanisms, such as cams and linkages. In this study, we deri...
A major challenge in wireless sensor networks research is energy efficiency. In the intermittent receiver-driven data transmission (IRDT) protocol, which aims at saving energy, communication between two nodes commences when multiple receiver nodes tr...
Cephalosporins have traditionally been administered as an intermittent infusion. With the knowledge that cephalosporins demonstrate a time-dependent pharmacodynamic profile, administration via continuous infusion may provide more effective antibiotic...
The accurate detection and identification of intermittent cable faults are helpful in improving the reliability of the distribution system. This paper proposes intermittent fault detection and identification for distribution networks based on machine...
The water hammer phenomenon is the main problem in long-distance pipeline networks. The MOC (Method of characteristics) and finite difference methods lead to severe constraints on the mesh and Courant number, while the finite volume method of the sec...
Electrical distribution system operators (DSOs) are facing an increasing number of challenges, largely as a result of the growing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind power. Amid global climate change...
This paper proposes a calculation algorithm that creates operational points and evaluates the performance of distribution lines after reinforcement. The operational points of the line are probabilistically determined using Monte Carlo simulation for...
Hydropower is a key source of electricity production for allowing the integration of intermittent renewable energy resources. Among the various hydraulic power plants around the world, the ones equipped with Pelton turbines already provide large flex...
A LoRaWAN application architecture comprises three functional components: (i) nodes, which convert and wirelessly transmit data as LoRaWAN messages; (ii) gateways, which receive and forward these transmissions; and (iii) network servers, which proces...

The Cartesian cut-cell method is one of the most promising methods for computational fluid dynamics due to its sharp interface treatment. However, the Cartesian cut-cell method and other Cartesian mesh solvers have difficulty with concentrating grid...
Applications of iron- (Fe-) bearing materials represent an effective countermeasure for decreasing the dissolution of arsenic (As) in soil under anaerobic conditions. In this study, we investigated the effects of Fe amendments (ferrihydrite-based and...
While significant studies have been conducted in Intermittently Closed and Open Lakes and Lagoons (ICOLLs), very few have employed Lagrangian drifters. With recent attention on the use of GPS-tracked Lagrangian drifters to study the hydrodynamics of...
The flow separation state reflects the symmetry and stability of flow around spheres. The three-dimensional structures of flow around a rigid sphere at moderate Reynolds number (Re) between 20 and 400 by using finite volume method with adaptive mesh...
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, daytime sleepiness, cognitive impairment, and brain cell damage due to brain blood flow reduction, with ischemic damage, increased mi...
Flooding is a critical factor that limits the establishment of a symbiosis between rice and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in wetland ecosystems. The distribution of carbon resources in roots and the acclimation strategies of rice to flooding str...
Background: Intermittent fasting (IF) is emerging as a promising non-pharmacological intervention in oncology, with the potential to modulate key biological processes including metabolic reprogramming, inflammation, autophagy, and immune function, pa...
Island electrical networks often face stability and resilience issues due to their weakly meshed structure, which lowers system inertia and compromises supply continuity. This challenge is further intensified by the increasing integration of renewabl...
Reinforced concrete (RC) is by far the most widely used composite material in the world. Despite the enormous economic importance of RC construction, there is a lack of viable concepts for its digital fabrication. While 3D printing of plain concrete...
The role of hydropower has become increasingly essential following the introduction of intermittent renewable energies. Quickly regulating power is needed, and the transient operations of hydropower plants have consequently become more frequent. Larg...
