Orchard meadows are biodiversity hotspots, as the understory often consists of species-rich lowland hay meadows. Due to the low energy density of the grass, it is not suitable as feed, but the energetic utilisation of cuttings from orchard meadows fo...
In the present study, the added resistance, heave, and pitch of the KRISO Container Ship (KCS) in waves, at both model scale and full scale, are predicted numerically in regular head waves, for four wavelengths and three wave heights. The ISIS-CFD vi...
Designing a database is a crucial step in providing businesses with high-quality data for decision making. The quality of a data model is the key to the quality of its data. Evaluating the quality of a data model is a complex and time-consuming task....
Shallow water bathymetry is a topic of significant interest in various fields, including civil construction, port monitoring, and military operations. This study presents several methods for assessing shallow water bathymetry using maritime uncrewed...
This paper presents a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) with a double-catalytic layered structure to improve the performance of the micro direct methanol fuel cell. The inner and outer parts of the double-catalytic layer comprise an unsupported and c...
Increasing the replacement of conventional synchronous machines by non-synchronous renewable machines reduces the conventional synchronous generator (SG) inertia in the modern network. Synthetic inertia (SI) control topologies to provide frequency su...
The surge in demand for automating seafood processing necessitates the development of robotic processes for transportation, packaging, and classification. South Korean companies are actively constructing diverse robots and grippers for fishcake handl...
The research experimentally examines the viability of biodiesel obtained from pork fat (BP) as a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) when mixed with kerosene (Ke)—Jet-A aviation fuel + 5% Aeroshell 500 oil. Various blends of biodiesel and kerosene...
The oil and gas industry consistently embraces innovative technologies due to the significant expenses associated with hydrocarbon transportation, pipeline corrosion issues, and the necessity to gain a deeper understanding of two-phase flow character...
This study proposes a drone system with visual identification and tracking capabilities to address the issue of limited communication bandwidth for drones. This system can lock onto a target during flight and transmit its simple features to the groun...
Pollution from road vehicles enters the air environment from many sources. One such source could be if the vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary heater. They can be classified according to whether they work with diesel or gasoline and whether they he...
This paper focuses on both voltage transients and short-duration RMS variations, and presents a unique and heterogeneous approach to their assessment by applying AI tools. The database consists of both real (obtained from Lithuanian PQ monitoring cam...
This paper studies how the correlation with the Nusselt number affects the final result of the efficiency, ε, and exergy efficiency, ηex, of a chevron-type gasketed plate heat exchanger, which is installed in a typical small solar install...
The evolution of agriculture towards a modern, intelligent system is crucial for achieving sustainable development and ensuring food security. In this context, leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) stands as a pivotal strategy to enhance both crop...
A computer vision algorithm to determine the parameters of a two-phase turbulent jet of a water-gas mixture traveling at a velocity in the range of 5–10 m/s was developed in order to evaluate the hydrodynamic efficiency of mass exchange apparat...
Constant monitoring is necessary for powdery mildew prevention in field crops because, as a fungal disease, it modifies the green pigments of the leaves and is responsible for production losses. Therefore, there is a need for solutions that assure ea...
In this work, a novel numerical method for studying the influence of gas types on drag reduction by microbubble injection is presented. Aimed at the microbubble drag reduction (MBDR) process for different types of gases, the mass transfer velocity of...
Olive fruits at different ripening stages give rise to various table olive products and oil qualities. Therefore, developing an efficient method for recognizing and sorting olive fruits based on their ripening stages can greatly facilitate post-harve...
The aim of the Special Issue on Automatic Control and System Theory and Advanced Applications, the second volume of a previous paper selection, is to emphasize the role of new inventions in the area of automatic control applications [...]
At present, magnetic induction switches are widely used in industrial automation control and biological sensing systems. A core module composed of a magnetic sensing device and a signal conditioning circuit is designed and analyzed in this paper. Uti...
With the high penetration of renewable energy into power grids, frequency stability and oscillation have become big concerns due to the reduced system inertia. The application of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is considered one of the optio...
In the context of the global energy sector’s increasing reliance on fossil fuels and escalating environmental concerns, there is an urgent need for advancements in energy monitoring and optimization. Addressing this challenge, the present study...
Modern mobile networks exhibit a complex heterogeneous structure. To enhance the Quality of Service (QoS) in these networks, intelligent control mechanisms should be implemented. These functions are based on the processing of large amounts of data an...
