Multi-horizon vessel trajectory prediction with a physically constrained TCN–KAN framework

Accurate vessel trajectory prediction is essential for maritime situational awareness, traffic management, and autonomous navigation. However, existing data-driven methods often struggle to simultaneously represent temporal dependencies at different scales, nonlinear maneuver-ind...

Ethanol driven Ni, Co and S elements generate NiCo2S4 crystal phases for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors

NiCo 2 S 4 has excellent electrochemical properties, but its synthesis process is cumbersome and costly. The coexistence of Ni, Co and S elements in the reaction system is difficult to spontaneously form the NiCo 2 S 4 phase. For this purpose, a one-step solvothermal method was a...

Thermal management strategy for improving DPF active regeneration performance via multi-objective optimization based on a random forest surrogate model

Active regeneration of diesel particulate filters (DPFs) is essential for particulate emission control but involves competing effects among soot oxidation, heat removal, flow resistance, and thermal safety. A one dimensional transient Corning EX 80 DPF model was validated with a...

Deterministic generation and distribution of genuine multipartite entanglement in macroscopic acoustic resonators

Generating complex multimode entanglement is a central goal of quantum information science. However, scalable creation of genuine multipartite entanglement is challenging as it requires excellent control and efficient state verification. We report the generation and transfer of g...

The effect of service failure crisis in destinations on tourism boycotts: The moderating role of power distance beliefs

Few studies have assessed the impact of service failure crises on tourism boycotts from the perspective of social distance. Grounded in self-bias theory and construal level theory, this study examines how the service failure crisis in destinations across three distance levels (pe...

Multi-Side Sliding Triboelectric Nanogenerator with Configurable Series/Parallel Outputs for Wind-Energy Applications

Abstract To address the need for compact and adaptable energy harvesters for distributed self-powered electronics, we propose a multi-side sliding triboelectric nanogenerator (MS-TENG) for wind-energy applications. The prototype integrates a wind-oriented rotation-to-reciprocatio...

Explainable Transformer-Based Estimation of Surface NO2 Concentrations Across Fujian Province Using TROPOMI Observations

Atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the major pollutants affecting environmental quality and human health, yet accurate surface NO2 (NO2Surface) estimation remains challenging due to complex nonlinear relationships between satellite-derived NO2 column density (NO2column)...

Bistability and Noise-Induced Evasion in Tumor-Immune Dynamics with Antigen Accumulation and Immune Escape

Abstract. Tumor-immune interactions are shaped by both antigenic heterogeneity and stochastic perturbations in the tumor microenvironment, yet the mathematical mechanisms underlying immune phase transitions remain poorly understood. We propose a four-compartment dynamical model t...

Impact of High-Density Urban Environment on Residents’ Heat Risk: Evidence from Shenzhen, China

This study explores the nonlinear effects of urban environmental factors on heat risk in Shenzhen, a typical high-density megacity. We established a multidimensional indicator system covering the built environment (building density, road density), ecological conditions (Enhanced...

Anthropogenic modulation of ice-nucleating particles over the Yellow and East China Seas: Shipboard observations and single-particle analysis

To address the scarcity of observational data on atmospheric ice-nucleating particles (INPs) over the mixed marine-continental environments of East Asia, shipboard measurements were conducted over the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS) in April 2022. Aerosol samples were co...

Topological pressure and equilibrium state for certain correspondences

In \cite{Miller-Akin1999}, Miller and Akin investigated the invariant measures for correspondences, which are also known as upper semi-continuous set-valued maps. Recently, the variational principle and thermodynamic formalism for forward expansive correspondences were studied by...

Robust trajectory tracking of an underactuated ROV under compound flow disturbances using ADRC-GISMC

Abstract Trajectory tracking of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) remains difficult when hydrodynamic coupling, plant uncertainty, actuator constraints, and spatially varying flow disturbances act simultaneously. This study presents a simulation-based evaluation of an ADRC-GISMC...

Optimization of Ultrasound and Acid Assisted Pretreatment Combined with Drying to Improve Resistant Starch, Structural Characteristics, and Bioactive Functionality of Green Banana Flour

Abstract This study optimized combined ultrasound and acid pretreatments and drying to regulate starch digestibility, structural organization, and bioactive functionality of green banana flour (GBF). Citric acid, sodium metabisulfite, and ultrasound were optimized using central c...

Undrained capacity of shared triple-bucket anchor foundations under combined horizontal and torsional loading

Shared anchors offer a promising solution for reducing mooring system costs in floating offshore wind arrays. However, their capacity may be reduced by varying resultant horizontal and torsional mooring loads under complex environmental loading. Numerical analyses are conducted t...
