This study demonstrates that the operational stormwater retention performance of building-integrated green walls is critically dependent on wall architecture, wall-to-roof ratio, and antecedent storage conditions, necessitating that design and performance assessments move beyond simplistic dry-start assumptions to accurately predict retention in dense urban environments.
This study establishes a parametric aerodynamic framework for multi-chamber NACA 6412 inflatable airfoils, revealing that surface waviness is the primary cause of performance degradation and demonstrating that optimal geometric design requires incidence-dependent adjustments, particularly through forward suction surface smoothing which can significantly enhance lift-to-drag ratios.
This study presents a textured Si wafer-assisted fabrication method for stretchable platinum nanotube network electrodes that overcome the mechanical limitations of conventional metal films, maintaining electrical conductivity up to 100% strain and enabling high-performance flexible piezoelectric devices.
This study demonstrates that implementing a performance-based maintenance framework utilizing the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), PAVER software, and GIS on the Baghdad–Abu Ghraib Highway corridor reduces estimated maintenance costs by approximately 20.9% compared to traditional Bill of Quantities (BOQ) methods, thereby offering a more efficient, data-driven approach for budget-constrained road asset management.
This paper presents a reusable human–spacecraft co-design framework that integrates human physiological constraints with multi-physics simulations and analytical scaling to identify the plausible design parameters and natural constraints for large rotating artificial gravity habitats.
This study establishes a real-time computer vision pipeline for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing that identifies YOLOv8n as the optimal detector for weld monitoring and proposes a YOLO-guided SAM2 framework for segmentation, while highlighting the current limitations of foundation models in distinguishing continuous welding features under extreme arc glare.
This study demonstrates that while experimentally informed loading conditions enable significant mass reduction in generative design compared to conservative deterministic loads, they result in increased deformation and lower reserve capacity, thereby shifting the primary value of operational data from producing inherently superior designs to enabling more explicit and informed trade-offs between structural efficiency and conservatism.
This study develops and validates the High-Rise Women's Hospital Performance Index (HRWHPI), a rigorous, evidence-governed framework for hot-arid cities that utilizes expert consensus to establish critical safety gates and weighted indicators, ultimately demonstrating its capacity to prevent unsupported scoring when essential project evidence is unavailable.
This study demonstrates that utilizing 74HC4051 multiplexers and cascaded 74HC595 shift registers with microcontrollers like the Arduino Uno and ESP32 offers a cost-effective solution for significantly expanding GPIO capacity for IoT applications, while quantifying the resulting trade-offs in execution speed, power consumption, and scalability.
This study proposes a structured process intelligence framework that utilizes a weighted Governance Performance Index (GPI) to quantitatively assess project health and enhance compliance-aware governance in digital service organizations by integrating metrics such as requirement clarity, KPI alignment, compliance readiness, documentation quality, and process volatility.
