Improvement of Biopsy Needle Inner Surface Quality Using Magnetic Abrasive Jet Machining: A CFD-Supported Experimental Study

This study demonstrates that Magnetic Abrasive Jet Machining (MAJM), supported by CFD simulations and SEM image analysis, effectively improves the inner surface quality of G14 biopsy needles, identifying inflow velocity as the dominant factor for erosion rate and 500 rpm as the optimal rotation speed for achieving homogeneous surface processing.

LoRaWAN Scalability Under Worst-Case ALOHA: A Single-Channel Stress Test for Dense IoT Networks

This study isolates single-channel LoRaWAN performance under worst-case pure ALOHA conditions to identify a critical scalability threshold of 50–60 nodes where packet delivery sharply degrades, revealing that confirmed transmission modes offer initial reliability gains but ultimately incur prohibitive energy costs and reduced performance at high densities, while node mobility proves negligible in collision-dominated regimes.

Synergistic Oil–Gas–Geothermal Integration and Advanced Exergy Optimization of Organic Rankine Cycles for Refinery Waste Heat Recovery in Nigeria: Co-Production of Mature-Well Brine with Flue-Gas Heat

This study proposes and evaluates a synergistic oil–gas–geothermal integration in Nigerian refineries, where co-produced brine and flue gas drive site-specific Organic Rankine Cycles to achieve net power outputs of 170–200 kW, exergy efficiencies of 11–13%, and CO₂ reductions of 16.9–21.1% with a 3.9–4.7 year payback, while highlighting source–fluid temperature mismatch as the primary design constraint.

Observability- and Bandwidth-Aware Constraint Scheduling for Trust-Weighted Multi-Robot Map Fusion over Duty-Cycle-Limited LoRa Links

This paper proposes Bandwidth-Aware Constraint Scheduling (BACS) and its observability-aware variant (BACS+), which optimize the transmission of inter-robot constraints over duty-cycle-limited LoRa links by prioritizing candidates based on predicted server-side trust and information density, thereby significantly reducing map-alignment errors compared to traditional trust-weighted fusion and random ordering.

Flux-map-based optimal current reference generation for copper-loss minimization and fault-tolerant control of a six-phase electrically excited synchronous motor

This paper proposes and experimentally validates a variable-field look-up-table strategy for six-phase electrically excited synchronous motors that utilizes nonlinear flux-linkage maps to generate optimal current references, thereby significantly minimizing copper losses and ensuring fault-tolerant operation under single open-phase faults.
