This study developed inventive and repurposable children’s furniture to improve functionality and extend product lifespan. Unlike typical cribs which serve a single purpose, the proposed design supports multiple functions: crib, cushioned chair...

The last thirty years have brought an evolution of electrical power systems. The integration of renewable energy and energy storage, dynamic loads, or distributed resources based on power electronics, including communications systems and protocols, i...

A professional closet with highly efficient disinfection for reusing protective clothing is required to reduce supply and demand and protect the environment. A self-developed ultraviolet-C (UVC) light-emitting diode (LED) package that can emit unifor...

Contact noise, often arising from frictional vibrations in mechanical systems, significantly impacts performance and user experience. This study investigates the generation of contact noise due to the elastic recovery of surface asperities during sph...

As energy and carbon markets evolve, it has emerged as a prevalent trend for multiple virtual power plants (VPPs) to engage in market trading through coordinated operation. Given that these VPPs belong to diverse stakeholders, a competitive dynamic i...

The growing impacts of global warming demand urgent climate-change mitigation strategies, with carbon storage in saline aquifers emerging as a promising solution. These aquifers, for their high porosity and permeability, offer significant potential f...

Traffic management systems play a crucial role in smart cities, especially because increasing urban populations lead to higher traffic volumes on roads. This results in increased congestion at intersections, causing delays and traffic violations. Thi...

The rising integration of renewable energy sources has resulted in a diminished capacity for voltage support within the system, which is characterized by low inertia and a reduced short circuit ratio (SCR). In order to improve grid strength and enhan...

RedCap technology is set to become a critical component in the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling sensors and wearable devices for medical, industrial, and commercial applications. However, because RedCap primarily operates in non-publi...

Ensuring that the world’s population meets its food needs, despite water restrictions, can be significantly improved by increasing irrigation efficiency and productivity. Achieving this goal necessitates technological advancements in control sy...

The study investigates, by calculations, some ways to improve the thermal efficiency of plate heat exchangers (PHEs) used in the vegetable oil processing industry. The performance of these heat exchangers is limited by the heat transfer rate of the o...

This study presents a simulation-driven optimization of thermochemical energy storage using SrCl₂-based systems for integration with solar energy technologies. Thermochemical sorption systems offer promising potential for enhancing solar energy-stora...

The strong uncertainty of the high proportion of new energy and the gradual decrease in the proportion of thermoelectric units have led to a shortage of system flexibility resources. System-level energy storage can efficiently alleviate the pressure...

In the modern conditions of the growing consumer market for environmentally friendly industries, the issue of optimizing resource-intensive and energy-intensive technological chains is acute. One of the most expensive stages is the storage of grain&m...

At present, the error calibration of electricity meters in operation generally adopts an off-site method; that is, the electricity meter is taken out of operation and then calibrated in the laboratory. Off-site calibration, while beneficial, may not...

Human–computer interaction (HCI) with three-dimensional (3D) Building Information Modelling/Model (BIM) is the crucial ingredient to enhancing the user experience and fostering the value of BIM. Current BIMs mostly use keyboard, mouse, or touch...

Background: More effective and automated techniques for disinfecting elevator push-buttons currently need to be developed, especially given that they are frequently touched by hundreds of individuals. Methods: An automatic elevator push-button disinf...

This work investigated the physical properties of Jet-A blended with n-heptane and various n-alcohols. The mixtures contained 10%, 20%, and 30% n-alcohols, including n-propanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol, n-heptanol, and n-octanol. These alcoh...

Hearing loss resulting from prolonged exposure to loud noise is known as noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), and it often affects professionals exposed to occupational sources of high sound levels. Among the professionals chronically exposed to noise,...

As one key candidate technology for the 6G internet of vehicles, vehicular visible light communications (VLCs) have received widespread attention and discussion due to their inherent advantages, including broadband, green, security, and ubiquity. In...
