The utilization of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in innovative optical sensor networks has displayed remarkable potential in providing precise and dependable thermal measurements in hostile environments on Earth. Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI) blan...
Rescue blankets are medical devices made of a polyethylene terephthalate sheet coated with a thin aluminum layer. Blankets are used for protection against hypothermia in prehospital emergency medicine and outdoor sports, but totally different qualiti...
Grapevines in cold regions are prone to frost damage in winter. Due to its adverse effects on soil structure, plant damage, high operational costs, and limited mechanization feasibility, buried soil overwintering has been gradually replaced by no-bur...
Research and development of the DEMOnstration power plant (DEMO) breeder blanket (BB) has been performed in recent years based on a predefined DEMO tritium breeding ratio (TBR) requirement, which determines a loss of wall surface due to non-breeding...
Chest compressions and ventilation attempts can generate aerosols during resuscitation. It is important to determine whether different materials suitable for the blanketing of cardiac arrest patients can diminish exposure to aerosols. In this study,...
Understanding and evaluating directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) is crucial for causal discovery, particularly in high-dimensional and small-sample datasets such as microbial abundance data. This study introduces DAGMetrics, an R package designed to compr...
After corn straw and livestock manure are fermented and decomposed, grass seeds are added. The substrate grass seed blanket is made by screw extrusion, applied to park greening, square greening, protective greening, and residential area greening. Wit...
This paper has resulted from a continued study of spacecraft material degradation and space debris formation. The design and implementation of a thermal vacuum cycling cryogenic facility for the evaluation of space debris generation at a low Earth or...
The traditional choice of insulation material for liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation with cryogenic tankers is the back-filled perlite-based system. However, aiming to further cut down the insulation cost, spare additional arrangement space,...
This paper presents the research and numerical modeling of heat flow through a textile heat sink (THS). The aim of this research is to create a numerical model of a THS that not only simulates the thermal behavior of knitted fabrics, which are used t...
We introduce a quantum integrated-information measure
The hybrid kinematic mechanism (HKM) as an alternative remote handling subsystem of the Demonstration Fusion Power Plant (DEMO) breeding blanket (BB) is undergoing extensive theoretical analysis and feasibility verification. In this paper, the forwar...
This paper presents a novel approach to improving the detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) through the use of super-resolved structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optimized deep learning models. The study introduces enhancements to...
Over recent decades, the rapid growth in data makes ever more urgent the quest for highly scalable Bayesian networks that have better classification performance and expressivity (that is, capacity to respectively describe dependence relationships bet...
This article describes the design and configuration of the DEMO Breeding Blanket (BB) feeding pipes inside the upper port. As large BB segments require periodic replacement via the upper vertical ports, the space inside the upper port needs to be max...
Sustainable solutions are increasingly being sought in the containment and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, and the use of fibers is promising. In this context, polyvinylidene fluoride fibers (PVDF) have potential applications in var...
The geothermal zone of southeast China, which is one of the country’s known geothermal zones, contains significant natural geothermal resources. To understand the formation of geothermal resources, a magnetotelluric (MT) investigation with a si...
Future fusion power plants like DEMO must be remotely maintained for safety, including breeding blankets (BBs) weighing up to 180
The scarcity of global wind field data limits the accuracy of numerical weather prediction. The currently operational spaceborne Doppler lidar (the European Space Agency’s Aeolus) measures only a single line-of-sight (LOS) wind component, which...
Corrosion-driven section loss in steel tower structures erodes load-carrying capacity, yet field assessment still relies on subjective visual grading. This paper presents a closed-loop framework coupling quantitative image-based corrosion measurement...
Accurate extraction of cropland distribution information using remote sensing technology is a key step in the monitoring, protection, and sustainable development of black soil. To obtain precise spatial distribution of cropland, an information extrac...
As rapid urbanisation accelerates in Global South cities, regulatory upzoning is widely promoted as a tool to expand supply and foster compact growth. Yet the interaction between permissive rules, market valuation, and institutional capacity remains...
Detailed mineralogical analyses in areas with surface hydrothermal alteration zones associated with recent volcanism (<1 Ma) in the Central Andean Volcanic Zone could provide key information to unravel the presence of hidden geothermal systems. In...
Optically transparent polyimide (PI) films with good atomic oxygen (AO) resistance have been paid extensive attention as thermal controls, optical substrates for solar cells or other components for low Earth orbit (LEO) space applications. However, f...
The shipbuilding industry, engine manufacturing, aviation, rocket and space technology are promising fields of application for polymeric composite materials. Shape-generating moulding tools with internal heating are used for the creation of a more ec...
Providing energy from fusion and finding ways to scale up the fusion process to commercial proportions in an efficient, economical, and environmentally benign way is one of the grand challenges for engineering. Controlling the burning plasma in real-...
