Comparative Evaluation of Strain, Displacement, and Acceleration Signals for Vertical Load Sensing in Agricultural Tractor Tires

Intelligent tire technology enables real-time monitoring of tire–ground interaction states and provides an effective approach for improving the intelligence of wheeled tractors. However, the relative effectiveness of different sensing signals for vertical load sensing in agricult...

Underwater image enhancement via boundary-aware gradient domain reconstruction and intuitionistic fuzzy set similarity measure-guided wavelet fusion for lowlight conditions

Due to the light absorption and scattering effects of water in dark underwater environments, along with the sensitivity limitations of imaging devices, captured images generally suffer from color distortion, low contrast, blurred details, and uneven illumination. These issues sev...

Dehumanized platform workers dehumanize customers: how algorithmic management reduces customer-oriented behavior

Purpose This study aims to investigate how algorithmic management affects platform workers' customer-oriented behavior and to explore the potential mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this relationship. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on social cognitive theory, th...

Unmasking the making of a hero: analyzing Aamir Khan’s fandom in China

This study investigates Aamir Khan’s popularity in China as a distinctive case of transcultural stardom. It argues that his reception is shaped not only by the circulation of Bollywood cinema but also by the ways his films align with Chinese aesthetic preferences and social value...

Quantifying temporal vulnerability of urban multi-modal transit networks under interdependent cascading failures

Multi-modal public transit networks (MPTNs) are vulnerable to service disruptions that might diminish their utility and cause severe consequences. The present study assesses the vulnerability of MPTNs under different operating scenarios. By combining network topology, dynamic evo...

Model-Free Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Control Integrated with Linear Extended State Observer for Ocean Ship Course Control Based on Ultra-Local Model

In maritime navigation, precise and stable ship course control is critical for operational efficiency and maritime safety, yet it is severely challenged by unpredictable marine disturbances (e.g., waves, wind, and currents) that consist of slowly varying and stochastic components...
