Design and Implementation of an Edge Computing-based AI Vision Inspection System

This study proposes an edge computing-based artificial intelligence (AI) vision inspection system for manufacturing sites and validates it through a soldering inspection case study. While AI-based vision inspection offers higher accuracy compared with conventional rule-based meth...

A Study on Efficient BEV Transformation via Image Compression and Performance Enhancement of Transformer-based 3D Object Detection

This study proposes a width-aligned transformer (WAFormer) based bird’s eye view (BEV) perception pipeline for 3D object detection using a multi-view camera. The proposed transformation method compresses multi-view image features along the vertical axis into 1D features, consider...

Psychological well-being among institutionalized older adults: The roles of mattering, alexithymia, and spirituality

BACKGROUND: Institutionalized older adults often face emotional challenges, including a diminished sense of mattering and difficulties in identifying or expressing emotions (alexithymia), both of which can negatively affect their psychological well-being. OBJECTIVES: The study ai...

Assessing groundwater favourability using multi-scale spatial regression techniques within a GIS framework

Study region Raya Azebo Woreda in northern Ethiopia faces increasing groundwater stress due to variable rainfall, heterogeneous lithology, and growing agricultural and domestic water demand, making reliable groundwater-potential assessment essential for sustainable water manageme...

Bioenergy potential of fast-growing trees, perennial grasses, and agricultural residues for renewable natural gas production in Canada

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of fourteen lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks—including fast-growing trees (FGT: poplar, willow), perennial grasses (PG: switchgrass, miscanthus, phragmites), and agricultural residues (AR: hemp and canola straw)—to assess their pot...

Distributive effects of climate change: How does rising temperatures affect energy allocation between cities?

The impact of rising temperatures on cities is heterogeneous, leading to a reallocation of energy between cities. However, whether this redistribution is detrimental remains unclear. Based on panel data of 261 cities in China from 2006 to 2021, this study examines how rising temp...

Tuning donor–acceptor interactions via electronic modulation in Ga-doped ZnO for carbon chain growth from syngas

Higher alcohol synthesis from syngas over conventional CuZn catalysts often encounters a trade-off between total alcohol selectivity and C 2 + distribution. Here, we show that Ga-doped ZnO enables precise electronic modulation to balance donor and acceptor reactions through contr...

The Factor Structure of the Little Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire and Its Associations with Internalizing and Externalizing Difficulties and Prosocial Behavior in Preschool-Age Children in Italy

Early identification of motor difficulties is crucial, as motor competence represents a foundational developmental ski l that supports children’s participation in everyday activities and influences broader socio-emotional adjustment. Within this framework, this study examined the...

Camera-LiDAR-based Indirect Evaluation of Estimated Driving Trajectories for Aircraft MRO Inspection Robots

Evaluating a robot’s estimated trajectory typically requires a ground truth trajectory, but establishing the necessary measurement infrastructure in large aircraft hangars is costly and operationally burdensome. Although alternative methods reduce this burden, they often impose o...

Health risk and dominant factors of indoor radon concentrations in Souq Al-Khamees and Ka'am, Libya

This study assessed indoor 222Rn concentrations and their determinants in Souq Al-Khamees and Ka’am, Libya, to quantify public health risks and identify mitigation strategies. Passive dosimeters were deployed in 55 dwellings for 90 days. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) with adva...

Channel two-phase flow validation and dynamics in proton exchange membrane fuel cells under water-boiling-point temperature conditions

With the growing demand for green energy, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have developed worldwide. Increasing the operating temperature to the water-boiling-point range (100–120 ℃) can significantly enhance the heat dissipation capacity, but it induces more complex...

Three-dimensional circulation controls on pollutant retention and mucilage accumulation in the sea of Marmara: A Lagrangian perspective

The Sea of Marmara is undergoing a severe marine pollution crisis driven by chronic nutrient enrichment and recurrent mucilage outbreaks. The physical mechanisms controlling transport, accumulation and persistence of pollutants and organic matter remain insufficiently resolved. H...

Unpromoted copper supported mesoporous silica nanocatalysts for the selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone

Levulinic acid (LA), derived from lignocellulosic biomass, is an important platform molecule for the production of renewable fuels and value-added chemicals. Its catalytic hydrogenation to γ-valerolactone (GVL), a bio-based compound with applications as a fuel additive, solvent,...

Multiscale finite element modeling and analysis of magnetically-influenced double diffusive Casson fluid flow in a complex domain

In this work, the development of a robust numerical scheme for solving the MHD mixed convective double diffusive Casson fluid flow in a doubly staggered cavity is presented. The mathematical model incorporates the effects of multiple forces arising from magnetic fields, double di...

Unraveling membrane protein conformational landscapes: Enhanced sampling, membrane regulation, and artificial intelligence–assisted simulation

Membrane proteins undergo functionally essential conformational transitions that couple local chemical events and changes in the membrane environment to large-scale structural rearrangements. These transitions are often difficult to capture with conventional molecular dynamics (M...

Assessing human reliability and estimating evacuation time in hospital emergencies: A Bayesian network and Petri net approach

The complex operational environment of hospitals, characterized by varying patient mobility levels, inconsistent staffing patterns, and resource distribution across departments, creates unique challenges for evacuation planning. This study employs Bayesian networks (BN) to enhanc...

NR3C2 suppresses triple-negative breast cancer progression by regulating mitochondrial ROS homeostasis via NDUFB3

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer characterized by high molecular heterogeneity and a lack of effective targeted therapies. Increasing evidence indicates that metabolic reprogramming and redox homeostasis are critical determinants of T...

An ensemble-averaged Poisson-Boltzmann model for modeling solute conformational flexibility

The Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) model is one of the most widely used implicit solvent frameworks for computing the polar component of solvation free energy, the energetic cost of transferring a solute molecule from a vacuum into an ionic solvent environment. However, the classical PB...
