Learning how to navigate autonomously in an unknown indoor environment without colliding with static and dynamic obstacles is important for mobile robots. The conventional mobile robot navigation system does not have the ability to learn autonomously...

Convective cereal grain drying is an energy-intensive process. Mathematical models are applied to analyze and optimize grain drying processes in different types of dryers and in different stages of drying to improve final grain quality and reduce ene...

In the tobacco redrying process, process parameter settings are greatly influenced by ambient temperature and humidity, and the moisture content of the tobacco leaf. In the face of complex and variable tobacco leaf characteristics, it is difficult to...

As a key technical aspect contributing to shale gas development, nanoconfined methane flow behavior has received tremendous research interest, which remains challenging to understand clearly. The majority of previous contributions put emphasis on the...

The study’s goal is to assess the flexural strength of concrete that includes waste marble powder using machine learning methods, i.e., ANFIS, Support vector machines, and Gaussian processes approaches. Flexural strength has also been studied b...

This article presents multidisciplinary research that involved design (i.e., textiles, tiles, pattern design), mathematics (i.e., symmetry and seven frieze groups) and a viewpoint on product design and development for business opportunities. This res...

In this study, the laser cutting characteristics were analyzed according to the shape of the back side of the specimen, and the laser cutting characteristics were compared according to the thickness of the edge (10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm). A Yb-YAG las...

In order to deal with the hazards caused by geological disasters in time, an emergency management system is proposed based on association rule data mining. With the support of a big data platform, a regional geological disaster emergency management s...

The equilibrium potentials of iron in a LiF-BeF2-FeF2 melt were measured using the EMF method and were dependent upon the temperature and iron fluoride concentrations. The empirical equations for the isotherms and equilibrium polytherms of the iron f...

In recent years, the technology of storing and transporting natural gas in the form of hydrate has received a lot of attention. At present, the research on the synthesis of natural gas hydrate for the purpose of storage and transportation is still in...
