This research focuses on the dynamic analysis of an oscillating conveyor mechanism using numerical methods to solve nonlinear differential equations that govern its motion. The system under study is modeled by a second-order differential equation of...

Conventional hydrogen production processes, which often involve fossil raw materials, emit significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This study critically evaluates the feasibility of using sugarcane biomass as an energy source to pr...

Shield performance prediction plays a critical role in construction decision-making. However, current models suffer from significant performance degradation in long-distance prediction. To address this gap, we propose a novel Long-Distance Shield Per...

The method proposed in this paper provides a new research idea for biomimetic three-dimensional grid structure material design. The wings of a dragonfly exhibit a complex grid structure, comprising approximately 1–2% of its total weight, yet de...

This study aims to examine the spatiotemporal variations of extreme rainfall events in Seoul, South Korea, utilizing subhourly rainfall data collected from an extensive observation network. Employing the Mann–Kendall trend detection test and Mo...

Arsenic (As), a well-known ‘traditional’ environmental contaminant, and carbamazepine (CBZ), an emerging contaminant of a pharmaceutical category, are both frequently detected in the environment and have been shown to exhibit toxicity at...

This investigation focuses on the dynamical effects caused by varying the central-cut width within the Box Assembly with Removable Component (BARC) system. The central-cut widths included in this study are a 0.5″ cut, a 0.25″ cut, a thin...

Jiao-Liao Mandarin, a distinguished dialect in China, reflects the linguistic features and cultural heritage of the Jiao-Liao region. However, the labor-intensive and costly nature of manual transcription limits the scale of transcribed corpora, posi...

Robotic auscultation has the potential to solve problems associated with gender issues by allowing examinations that eliminate the need for physical contact between doctor and patient. Aiming toward a robotic auscultation device capable of safely acq...

Maritime operations play a critical role in global trade but face persistent safety challenges due to human error, environmental factors, and operational complexities. This review explores the transformative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs)...
