Abrasive media viscosity regulation in abrasive flow finishing of additively manufactured waveguides: balancing boss surface smoothing and edge profile retention

This study demonstrates that regulating abrasive media viscosity to the 2000–2500 Pa·s range in abrasive flow finishing of additively manufactured waveguides effectively balances boss surface smoothing and edge profile retention by reducing edge removal and improving machining uniformity while maintaining a surface roughness reduction rate above 70%.

Predictive Modeling of Urban Residential Power Consumption: An Explainable AI Approach to the Kenyan Prepaid Grid

This study employs an Explainable AI framework to demonstrate that residential electricity demand in Kenya's prepaid sector is primarily driven by historical consumption patterns rather than weather or tariffs, revealing that simple autoregressive models perform comparably to complex machine learning approaches for accurate forecasting.

From Polders to Palafitos: A Buoyancy-Engineering and Social-Acceptance Framework for Transferring Dutch Amphibious Housing to Peru's Flood-Prone Settlements

This paper argues that while Dutch amphibious housing cannot be directly replicated in Peru due to differing regulatory and economic contexts, a hybrid approach combining engineered buoyant retrofits for existing stilt houses with community-based design and phased financing offers a viable pathway to adapt Peru's flood-prone settlements.

3D Gaussian Distribution and RGB Reconstruction (3D Gaussian-RGB) based GNSS Multipath Detection — Part I: Derivation and Analysis of the 3D Gaussian ellipsoid Modelling

This paper presents a theoretical framework for GNSS multipath detection by modeling normalized early, prompt, and late correlation values as a 3D Gaussian distribution, where the resulting equiprobability ellipsoid's geometric transformations (translation, scaling, and rotation) are analytically linked to multipath parameters to derive a statistically rigorous detection boundary.
