Experimental Load-Driven Generative Design of a Preci-sion Camera Support: Topology Optimization and Manu-facturing Cost Analysis

This study demonstrates that an experimental load-driven generative design approach, utilizing in-vivo force measurements and topology optimization, successfully reduced the mass of a precision camera support by 67.58% while simultaneously improving stiffness and safety factors compared to a commercial baseline, all while maintaining manufacturing cost viability through a four-piece assembly.

Structural Deterioration of Reinforced Concrete Roofs in Marine Environments Due to Improper Rehabilitation Practices: A Case Study of the Central Bank of Yemen Building, Aden

This case study of the Central Bank of Yemen in Aden demonstrates that improper roof rehabilitation, specifically the accumulation of excessive superimposed layers, significantly accelerated structural deterioration in a marine environment, but strategic load reduction through material removal and drainage improvement successfully mitigated these risks by decreasing the column load by nearly 59%.

Performance Analysis of RIS-Assisted Hybrid RF/FSO Communication Systems over Nakagami-m and Gamma–Gamma Channels with Decode-and-Forward Relaying

This paper presents an end-to-end performance analysis of a RIS-assisted hybrid RF/FSO system using decode-and-forward relaying, demonstrating that a central-limit-theorem approximation for the cascaded RIS channel is valid for N≥20N \ge 20 (with conservative accuracy for N=10–20N=10\text{--}20) and that the RIS is essential for achieving significant power savings and reliability improvements over non-RIS baselines.

Rivaling Foil Gauges: A Soft De-Shorting Strain Sensor with Intrinsic Off-Axis Insensitivity

This paper presents a sliding-electrode de-shorting strain sensor that utilizes a "liquid–rigid–soft" transition mechanism to achieve near-metallic sensing quality with low hysteresis, high signal-to-noise ratio, and intrinsic insensitivity to off-axis deformations, thereby enabling accurate proprioception in soft robotic systems.
