Peristaltic motion arises in many physiological, medical, pharmaceutical and industrial processes. Control of the fluid volume rate and pressure is crucial for pumping applications, such as the infusion of intravenous liquid drugs, blood transportati...

This paper presents an analysis of the CVJ (constant velocity joint) of automotive driveshafts from a point of view concerning the nonuniformity of isometric properties. In the automotive industry, driveshafts are considered to have constant velocity...

Gene regulation is orchestrated by a vast number of molecules, including transcription factors and co-factors, chromatin regulators, as well as epigenetic mechanisms, and it has been shown that transcriptional misregulation, e.g., caused by mutations...

Centrifugal compressors are widely used in many industrial fields such as automotive, aviation, aerospace. However, these turbomachines suffer instability phenomenon when the flow rate is too high or too low, called rotating stall and surge. These ph...

Monte Carlo methods rely on sequences of random numbers to obtain solutions to many problems in science and engineering. In this work, we evaluate the performance of different pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) of the Curand library on a number...

Predictive emission monitoring systems (PEMS) are software solutions for the validation and supplementation of costly continuous emission monitoring systems for natural gas electrical generation turbines. The basis of PEMS is that of predictive model...

The media plays an important role in disseminating facts and knowledge to the public at critical times, and the COVID-19 pandemic is a good example of such a period. This research is devoted to performing a comparative analysis of the representation...

In the present case study, a moisture diffusion model is developed to simulate the drying kinetics of Lavandula x allardii leaves for non-stationary convective drying regimes. Increasing temperature profiles are applied over the drying duration and t...

The settling velocities of helminth eggs of three types, namely Ascaris suum (ASC), Trichuris suis (TRI), and Oesophagostomum spp. (OES), in clean tap water are computationally determined by means of computational fluid dynamics, using the general-pu...

The energy eigenvalues of the ground state helium atom and lowest two excited states corresponding to the configurations 1s2s embedded in the plasma environment using Hulthén, Debye–Hückel and exponential cosine screened Coulomb mod...

This paper deals with the multi-objective operation of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in AC distribution systems using a convex reformulation. The objective functions are CO₂ emissions, and the costs of the daily energy losses are considered....

According to the behavior of its neuronal connections, it is possible to determine if the brain suffers from abnormalities such as epilepsy. This disease produces seizures and alters the patient’s behavior and lifestyle. Neurologists employ the...

The modern changes in electric systems present new issues for control strategies. When power converters and distributed energy resources are included in the micro-grid, its model is more complex than the simplified representations used, sometimes los...

In this work, we present a method to build a first order reduced density matrix (1-RDM) of a molecule from variational Quantum Monte Carlo (VMC) computations by means of a given correlated mapping wave function. Such a wave function is modeled on a G...

We investigate robust fault-tolerant control pertaining to Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy nonlinear systems with bounded disturbances, actuator failures, and time delays. A new fault model based on a sampled-data scheme that is able to satisfy certai...

Due to the huge amount of redundant data, the problem arises of finding a single integral solution that will satisfy numerous possible accuracy options. Mathematical processing of such measurements by traditional geodetic methods can take significant...

The aim of this research is to provide a better prediction for noise attenuation using thin rigid barriers. In particular, the paper presents an analysis on four methods of computing the noise attenuation using acoustic barriers: Maekawa-Tatge formul...

New artificial intelligence- (AI) based marker-less motion capture models provide a basis for quantitative movement analysis within healthcare and eldercare institutions, increasing clinician access to quantitative movement data and improving decisio...

Molecular-continuum methods, as considered in this work, decompose the computational domain into continuum and molecular dynamics (MD) sub-domains. Compared to plain MD simulations, they greatly reduce computational effort. However, the quality of a...

This review is about verifying and generalizing the supremum test statistic developed by Balakrishnan et al. Exhaustive simulation studies are conducted for various dimensions to determine the effect, in terms of empirical size, of the supremum test...

Robotics navigation and perception for forest management are challenging due to the existence of many obstacles to detect and avoid and the sharp illumination changes. Advanced perception systems are needed because they can enable the development of...
