Secondary pollution by microorganisms and substances peeling off from the “growth ring” causes clean water deterioration during the water distribution process. In order to reduce the secondary pollution, our previous research investigated...
The pipeline direct drinking water system (PDDWS) has emerged to ensure the quality of direct drinking water. Nevertheless, the existing literature suggests that the PDDWS suffers from inherent structural technological deficiencies, and various inter...
Accurate branch prediction is crucial for achieving high instruction throughput and minimizing control hazards in modern pipelines. This paper presents a novel LXOR (Local eXclusive-OR) branch predictor, which enhances prediction accuracy while reduc...
Spectre and Meltdown attacks in modern microprocessors represent a new class of attacks that have been difficult to deal with. They underline vulnerabilities in hardware design that have been going unnoticed for years. This shows the weakness of the...

Water pipe sediment removal should be implemented as an integral part of water mains maintenance in order to steadily supply consumers with drinking water of high quality. Considering the number of different water pipe sediment removal methods, the a...
With the increase in transmission pressure and pipe diameter of long-distance oil and gas pipelines, automatic welding of the pipeline has become the mainstream welding method. The multi-layer and multi-pass welding path planning of large-diameter pi...
The shrinking of technology nodes allows higher performance, but susceptibility to soft errors increases. The protection has been implemented mainly by lockstep or hardened process techniques, which results in a lower frequency, a larger area, and hi...
Pipeline spraying can be adopted for greatly improving spraying efficiency in hillside orchard spraying operations. However, residual phytosanitary product still remains in the pipeline after the completion of pipeline spraying operations. Currently,...
An indirect method and procedure for determining the local heat transfer coefficient in experimental studies on the intensity of heat transfer at a gas–surface interface is described. The article provides an overview of modern approaches and te...
This study investigated the effects of an electromagnetic field (EMF) on control of membrane fouling and scaling during desalination of brackish groundwater using a pilot reverse osmosis (RO) skid. The groundwater was primarily CaSO4 type with a tota...

A cross-layer non-vertical transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) occurred in a quarantine hotel in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China in June 2021. To explore the cross-layer transmission path and influencing...
Defect repair on custom-curved glulam beams is still performed manually because knots are irregular, numerous, and located on elements that cannot pass through linear production lines, limiting the scalability of timber-based architecture. This study...
In contrast to “frank” pathogens, like Salmonella entrocolitica, Shigella dysenteriae, and Vibrio cholerae, that always have a probability of disease, “opportunistic” pathogens are organisms that cause an infectious disease in...
In response to the problems of small working width and low operating efficiency of existing hydraulic scouring lotus root harvesters, a wide-width hydraulic scouring system was designed based on a wide-width self-propelled lotus root harvester. The m...
At present, the methods for sulfur solubility testing of high-sulfur natural gas generally use laboratory proportioning gas samples and then connect equipment to test the sulfur solubility of the gas samples based on the adsorption deposition mechani...
