Adaptive estimation method for pavement adhesion coefficient integrating visual and dynamic data

The road adhesion coefficient is widely recognized as a key factor affecting vehicle active safety control. Accurate estimation of this parameter faces challenges such as visual interference and weak observability of vehicle dynamics under low excitation conditions. This paper pr...

Occlusion-Robust Cattle Pose Estimation for Precision Livestock Monitoring Using Hierarchical Locality Refinement

Accurate cattle pose estimation is important for precision livestock farming because body landmarks can provide quantitative visual inputs for potential health monitoring, behavior analysis, lameness assessment, and welfare evaluation. This study focuses on keypoint-localization...

Compression Deformation Characteristics of Frozen Soil Containing Ice Lenses Under an Asymmetric Temperature Field

Frozen soil on alpine slopes is influenced by inclination and aspect-induced differential solar radiation effects, resulting in non-uniform temperature fields and inclined layered ice lenses that enhance anisotropy and degrade mechanical properties. This study investigates the de...

Thermodynamic characteristics of a twisted oval tube with dimples at varying positions

To further enhance the thermal performance of twisted oval tubes, this paper innovatively installs dimples at different positions on the cross-section of twisted oval tubes and investigates how the dimple position affects the flow and heat transfer characteristics in these tubes....

Precision Greenhouse Rose Phenotyping from UAV Imagery Using a Multi-Source Dataset and Lightweight BloomRoseNet

Accurate detection of blooming roses and flower buds is essential for greenhouse phenotyping, cultivation scheduling, harvest planning, and yield management. However, UAV-derived greenhouse imagery presents major challenges because rose targets are often small, densely distribute...

Moisture Migration and Variation in Pile Shaft Resistance During Hydration-Heat-Induced Thawing–Refreezing Around Cast-in-Place Piles in Permafrost

The shaft resistance of cast-in-place piles in permafrost regions is commonly estimated using the initial moisture content and frozen-soil strength parameters obtained during site investigation. However, concrete hydration heat disturbs the temperature field of the surrounding fr...

Axial compressive behavior of coal gangue concrete-filled composite steel tube stub columns

This paper presents a numerical investigation on the axial compressive behavior of composite steel tube coal gangue concrete (CG-CFCST) stub columns, in which an outer circular steel tube and an inner circular steel tube confine a sandwich layer of ordinary concrete and a core of...

A Metal–OrganicFramework-Based ElectrochemiluminescenceImmunosensor with Dual Quenching via Resonance Energy Transfer andRadical Scavenging

Abstract This study reports a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor designed for the highly sensitive detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) via a dual quenching strategy. The sensor architecture employs an aluminum-based metal–organic framework (MIL RuMOF@Pt) as the EC...

Analysis of the Composition and Thermogravimetric Kinetics of Vacuum Residue from Karamay

Vacuum residue (VR) is one of the more difficult heavy fractions to process in petroleum refining, and the development of clean utilization technologies for vacuum residue has become a major research focus in the petrochemical industry. This paper discusses the compositional and...
