Pore-scale modeling of capillary-driven binder migration during battery electrode drying

Sodium-ion batteries employing hard carbon electrodes are considered a drop-in technology for lithium-ion batteries. Electrode drying is a critical manufacturing step, as binder migration during pore emptying impacts the mechanical integrity and electrical performance of the elec...

The ECOSENSE forest: a distributed sensor and data management system for real-time monitoring of ecosystem processes and stresses

Abstract. Forests provide crucial ecosystem services, but are vulnerable to climate-related physical and biological stresses, such as droughts, pests and pathogens. The rapid climate change currently observed increases the pressure on forest ecosystems, with already drastic conse...

Semi-automated object-based image analysis for peri-urban land use/cover classification using WorldView-3 imagery of Mankweng, South Africa

Abstract Peri-urban landscapes in semi-arid regions exhibit high spatial heterogeneity and fragmented land use/cover (LUC) patterns, challenging traditional classification methods. This study introduces a semi-automated, hybrid Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) framework for det...

Anomaly Score-Based Cross-Machine Wind Turbine Component Diagnosis: A Case Study and Benchmark

Reliable wind turbine component diagnosis requires cross-machine knowledge transfer since verified fault cases are rare. However, coarse fault interval annotations and turbine-specific operating behavior make this transfer difficult. This paper introduces a benchmark framework fo...
